I have no experience with their cans, only their buds, which I've been very happy with. Maybe they have been ruined since they started taking advice from Bose, as I haven't bought any in a while, but the last ones I did buy had a more-easily-untangleable flat rubbery cord and sounded really nice. They were clear for both music and calls, and were less than twenty bucks... maybe $14?

I'm not a "pay extra" kind of guy, though I do try not to buy the absolute most crap thing. I'm a "refurb" type.

That's true but irrelevant to this or any other point, since you'll never sum all small groups until extinction.

the climate doesn't care.
if the answer is that everyone, China, India, all of Africa is allowed to have Western European per capita GHG emissions before we take significant action to reduce emissions enough to mitigate global warming, we may as well not bother.

Nobody gives a rat's ass about kids except their own. This is because of Trump. Also Russia.

This is an effective way to kick American social media companies out of your country. Like most socially destructive and unpleasant things you kind of have to get em young. If you don't hook kids early on they don't become terribly interested in social media.

What they tend to do is they tend to find a platform their friends are on and just communicate with their friends. They don't engage in the Doom scrolling that you need to manipulate political outcomes and control a population and gather shitloads of highly confidential and valuable information. Just a little IMing back and forth and that's no good if you're a Russian propagandist or a billionaire psychopath.

Facebook has had that problem for ages and they stay ahead of it by buying up every tiny little potential competitor or small Network and then forcing kids into their main platform where they can be monetized and propagandized.

Since Trump threatened to invade Greenland Europe sees America as a existential threat, which much as I hate to admit it is correct. My country literally made a pedophile president of the United States twice we can no longer be trusted.

If you're up just banned Facebook and Twitter there would be legal challenges and they would probably lose but by cutting off the kids in 5 or 10 years Facebook and Twitter will be dead in Europe.

The funny thing is I'm sure that both Facebook and Twitter know this well I mean Facebook Twitter is run by an imbecile. So I do wonder how they are going to counter this or if they even can

To avoid purchasing a $50 mini PC. Maybe $100 since everything keeps going up in price since 2024 but still...

I mean if you're a hobbyist more power to you. I'm going to spend some time tomorrow tinkering with a small form factor computer case to get The thermals right. I happen to like this particular case because I've had it for a long time but it's not terribly good and I could and probably should just replace it but screw that I'm going to keep tinkering with it.

I know you think that makes sense, but I can't parse it into something sensible. It sounds like you're saying "Russia was a conquering empire while it was being conquered by outsiders."
Perhaps you mean something like "The conquerors of Russia were a conquering empire and they established permanent dominance over Russia." Which I think is true, but that doesn't have Russia being a conquering empire throughout history. A source says some of the Tsars were descendants of Viking Chieftans from the Ukraine. (It also says "they were invited to rule", but I suspect "invite" is a very "diplomatic truth".) Being taken over by someone doesn't make you a conquering empire, even if they bring an army along.

There's an open source workaround that de-clouds SoundTouch devices https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fst-reborn.de%2F

That one reddit user will be fine unless he was stupid enough to throw out his "bricks" (what a strange term to use for a device that still functions without the cloud crap).

Yes and no. They are definitely a lifestyle target company, but they do throw some significant technical capability into that. But it's a tradeoff, always has been. In terms of absolute audio quality they are pretty rubbish, but in terms of invisible audio that integrates into cafe, studio, living room, etc. they aren't actually that bad.

And their noise cancelling on headsets is best in class (it's a shame their sound quality doesn't match).

I wouldn't ever recommend their hifi systems though unless your wife forces it on you.

This already exists and works well. Except as usual the abolitionists blow it out of proportion. I have a remote signal in my AC unit that can be activated by my power company. All it does is change and lock in place the temperature setting by a couple of degrees. That's the reality. You may notice it's slightly warmer or cooler than normal and before you question it you see dollars rolling in, because at present this is fucking lucrative.

Literally everyone I know has the same plan and they all agree you'd be insane not to do it.

No. Ignorant. Clearly.

What in the ever loving fuck are you talking about? Batteries are so hugely ideal for it they are now becoming the primary tool for grid scale stability. Fuck your little fridge, batteries can take the sudden draw of a coal fired power station disconnecting from the grid, and do so better than inertial stability systems ever could.

Like seriously, I can't let this go. Your comment has to be the single most incorrect thing anyone has said about batteries ever. We simply have no electro-mechanical system that can cope with sudden changes in draws then electro-chemical storage. Like, the reason you can start your car is because a battery can cope with a sudden draw of hundreds of amps, and the reason my car has more torque from stopped than any engine could ever hope to provide is because a bank of batteries in my car is able to deal with the sudden draw of the motors on my car literally 100x stronger than your pathetic little fridge or AC unit.

And no your fridge / AC doesn't draw twice it's nameplate at start-up, it's closer to 8 times, and that's not a problem for batteries which are in houses the world over, and have been used in houses off grid the world over long before we even figured out how to make modern lithium batteries.

Don't ever comment on batteries again at least until you've read a book.

The mileage varies a lot less than the anti-EV crazies claim it does. But I don't blame you, I too was one of you until I got an EV. The only difference is I've realised how stupid my view was.

EVs are probably the single most prominent thing in the world that people have extensive views about without ever having tried them.

Sorry but no, we haven't come close. There's a shitton still out there, easily accessible. It's just a question of getting the rights to access it. The proven recoverable reserves companies have clearly identified as viable will keep us going easily through the next 30-50 years.

However, the greenies have done a wonderful job though of making sure we don't completely fuck up our planet so companies are finding those reserves are inaccessible by policy rather than due to technical difficulties, and we've been so busy drawing arbitrary borders and fighting wars to protect them we can't functionally get those reserves from place of production to place of consumption: e.g. Australian coal mine leases not granted, the Iran war, the sanctions against Russia, the OPEC cartel, etc.

No problem, the hub is filled with Russian porn
