Is using a 30 year old VGA monitor “green”?
Is using a 30 year old VGA monitor “green”?
Multiple people were really angry when VGA ports disappeared, the amount of shitty corporate projectors with only VGA connectors was staggering and we had to resort to using adapters (“dongles”) for a long time until all of them were replaced with HDMI capable ones
Removing things is also innovation
Or do you still miss the VGA connector? A floppy disk drive? DVD drive in a laptop?
And that is a bad thing?
My Xbox and PlayStation and Switch are also “closed ecosystems” and I like them too.
You can take background permissions from system apps on iOS
As soon as Chinese “fishing vessels” aren’t armed and won’t turn their transponders off to sneak into territorial waters
mAh is a stupid way to measure batteries. Wh is more relevant.
It also tells nothing about the efficiency of the device. You can add a 50kWh battery to a device but it doesn’t matter if it uses 2kWh at idle
“Open beta” lets them erase progress if they want.
“Early access” usually implies that you get a head start on the normies
You post to a location you control, then post the link to that to other sites.
That way you own and control the content.
There’s a reason why Meta and Twitter hate external links, it takes people out of their feed
Obligatory XKCD: https://xkcd.com/386/ 😀
But more seriously: I do frequent shitty FB forums where newbies ask the same question over and over again. I can just quickly copy-paste my longish and sourced response every time. I’m pretty close to just setting up an Alfred/TextExpand macro for the most common ones 😀
(On a proper forum we could just point them to a FAQ thread, but Meta makes is intentionally hard because ✨engagement✨)
You guys do know you don’t have to use Windows?
AFAIK there’s a ton of their best anti air stuff parked around Moscow just because of this, they can’t risk the hits they’d take if they move it to the front lines
Putin has no endgame.
There is no timeline where he can step down and live peacefully.
His one in a million is to conquer enough of Ukraine and somehow be allowed to keep it - but that’s not happening unless Donald wins the election.
We don’t need to nuke them even, we can just use conventional munitions to fuck up every military installation they have to rubble.
And chuck a few Tomahawks at Kremlin to be sure
This is a perfect way to weaken Russia for a looong time both militarily and economically.
China will be the next one to do something stupid and a weak Russia is a good thing when it happens
Telegram might not be encrypted, but they’ve also spread their servers and content in multiple jurisdictions. And they don’t give in to law enforcement requests.
This is why Durov is being charged.
Only the few elite ones, mostly the ones with music.
The fact that nzbs are old as fuck and not one service has been taken down is weird.
They bust torrent sites every day and they don’t even host anything.
News hosters have literally petabytes of warez and nothing.
And don’t get me started with real-debrid
The smugglers don’t give a fuck, they got paid.
In the Mediterranean they use any shitty dinghy that just about floats and drive paying people to international waters, then the smuggler bails out in a proper boat and leaves the people adrift to be rescued by NGOs or coast guard.
