Exactly. But digital.

Remember a year ago when Texas was talking about seceding, and how everyone pointed out that there was no legal mechanism for them to do that ?

More “fun” than has ever been seen in the history of the USA. Many very important people are saying this is the most fun that has ever been had.

Because it’s all you can do. However, this will almost certainly go all the way to the corrupt supreme court, who will find in favour of trump, and change the constitution.

The founders died in 2023 ?

Per the video, the usb-c connector on the cable has a chip that communicates the maximum current that it can safely pass. By plugging it into a lesser rated usb extension cable, that assertion is now wrong, potentially dangerously wrong if enough current is sent that the wires in the extension overheat.

I work for an international company based in the US, but I am not in the US myself. I have been trying for years to get our American colleagues to use three letter abbreviations for the month to avoid ambiguity, for example in global emails. With a couple of small exceptions, I have been unsuccessful in convincing them of the need to be clear in their written communication to people in the rest of the world.

Nope. It’s the 12th of December . Just like the 4th of July, or having Christmas “on the 25th”

In the corporate world ? Generally not, because IT can’t force group policy out using AD.

Conversely, I want the ac controls on physical buttons because when I’m in driving and am in direct sunlight, or when I’ve just jumped in the car after doing some heavy work, I want ice cold Antarctic air blowing on my face. The ambient temperature of the general cabin is irrelevant to me. I do not want to be hunting around through menus to find the ac fan control slider.

Right, but 480K per hour clearly isn’t going to contain a bunch of 4K screenshots, so it must be doing local analysis.

The blurb above says that the TVs uploads screenshots when viewing antenna and hdmi input sources, which is what most people are reacting to here. The actual article is paywalled.

However other articles go into more detail and note that only a few KB of data per hour is actually uploaded, so the TV must be doing image analysis locally and uploading metadata only.

None, now.

It’s terrifying

Wine (wine is not (an) emulator) is a reimplementation of the windows api set. It’s literally starting windows again from scratch.

Isn’t that what wine is ?

The problem is that the settings app has consistently been a dumbed down, feature-sparse version of what was in the control panel for the bits it has replaced. Tweaks that experienced users have relied on for decades are simply missing in the settings app, forcing them to go back to the control panel

If Microsoft actually re-implemented all the knobs and dials in control panel then I wouldn’t be so irritated, but we’ve been shown for the last several years that they only bother migrating the most commonly used settings.

Maybe they’re using the phone line for their Internet ? Vsdl etc…

I had the same experience with shitty playback buffering every few seconds on popular videos that should be cached on a nearby cdn, and then saw lots of articles about it and then boom a week later everything was back to normal
