OK Looks like my little MS Surface is going to be running Linux.

Well actually, You can heat things up to a temperature where they do sublimate, without there being an ignition source.

“No smoke without fire” is a misnomer.

Yes, but the technology doesn’t have as long range.

The higher density signal is able to carry more data at higher speeds, but only for shorter distances.

A loose analogy is the difference between Short Wave radio and Long Wave radio. The BBC World Service can be received around the world, but 3PBS FM can only be received in the inner suburbs of Melbourne.

When Christian Selig announced his independent Apple Vision YouTube App, I thought twice about actually getting one, just so I would’t have to use YouTubes ridiculous Application and Web UIs.

Then I decided that it would be silly to spend any money on a 1st Gen Apple Vision.

If it isn’t the CCP trying to corrupt our Labour politicians, it is the FSB and Russian Mafia successfully corrupting our LNP politicians.

Oversized vehicles are just as destructive to the environment, regardless of whether they are EV or not. In order to move that much mass, they require exponentially more electricity, which results in increased battery size and therefore more mass.

This isn’t a flaw EVs per se, it is a flaw of obnoxiously obese vehicles.

He did restore faith that George W Bush decision to finish reading a children’s book when the planes were crashing into the trade centre was the best choice.

A dumb TV that is just a monitor and your choice of STB. Our house has an AppleTV as HDMI1 on all devices and a HD HomeRun in the server rack to broadcast LiveTV over the network.

Other people have similar setups using Raspberry Pi’s running various HTPC packages, which I can recommend for those people who aren’t interested in Apple products.

No one should ever need to purchase a FireStick, Roku or Google Home thingy and no one should ever connect their TV directly to their Home Network.

He is a fucking Property Developer. That is the definition of someone who doesn’t actually do any real work.

It is a much better (and more honest) way to manipulate users using the Sunk Cost Fallacy.

Instead of blackmailing Mods to stay by saying “you have invested a lot of your time into this subreddit, it would be a shame if something would happen to it”, they could say to users “you are already paying for the ability to use Reddit, you might as well use Reddit”.

Ain’t gonna happen. This is the only reason they are releasing Threads. It is also the only reason Elon and u/spez have killed third party apps.

It is also why you can’t use Threads in a browser. (You can read other threads, but can’t post or use any of the other features.
