In rural Virginia where my parents live, their only non-wireless internet service is from Brightspeed. It's 1.2Mbps/256Kbps DSL that is offline more than it is online. And they have to pay $90/month for it. Parents switched to US Cellular wireless and it is almost as bad. They're going to give T-Mobile Wireless a try, hoping that it will at least remain online more.

How will Google survive? It's so brave of all these people, all 10 of them, who switch to an alternate search engine. So brave! Can we have yet another out-of-breath article about switching search engines? How about one switching from Windows to (GASP!) Linux? (yawn)

Stop listening to faux news. I go to San Francisco regularly. I have friends that live there. It is not in any way a "hellscape". That's bloviation from reich-wing "news" telling you that, not reality. I was last in SF just a few months ago, stayed at a Union Square hotel. At no time was I in any danger walking at night to go to restaurants or to a bar. Maybe you should visit sometime instead of relying on liars with an agenda.

I had a LG CX OLED. Now it have a B4 OLED model. All you have to do is turn off all the advertising BS. They spread it around in the menus but it isn't difficult to find it all and turn it off. We watch YouTube through the TV, but everything else is watched through the Plex client on the Google TV Streamer that is connected to the LG TV.

Many areas of the state of California ARE zero-emissions, and the entire state has had periods where the only source of power was renewables. We are quickly working towards that being the case all the time, not just intermittently. Even when fossil-fuels are involved, it is natural gas plants that are considered very low carbon emissions, not coal-fired monstrosities.

I had a reddit account for many years without any issues. I made one comment about smiling while scrolling past Elon Musks obituary. Reddit permanently banned my account, claiming I was "advocating violence". I appealed to no avail. I can't even create a new account, even with a different email, it gets banned within a few minutes. But, I discovered I really don't need reddit anymore, so that's a plus.

If you'd bothered to click the link to the website, all of your question are answered. It has over 32 cubic feet of storage in the back, more than some SUVs. It has left and right cameras that continuously display the view of side mirrors directly in the line of sight of the driver. The rearview is also from cameras, with a normal lens for regular rearview and a wide angle for parking. In the video, the rear lights appeared to be blinking because they are LED. If you video most modern cars that have LED lighting, the lights will appear to be blinking in the video. It does have airbags for driver and passenger. It also has A/C and can do 0-60 in less than 6 seconds with a top speed over 100 mph, which should be more than sufficient for the average driver.

When I was in school, COBOL was one of the languages being taught. My instructor was not amused that most of my COBOL code was simply calls for Assembler subroutines since I really liked IBM System/370 Assembler (the mainframe we were working with). My code was very tight and efficient, but at the cost of being difficult for someone else to read/understand.

Get out of the left lane! Regardless if you're "doing the speed limit", if you're in the left lane you need to get over to the right. It is YOU that is creating a hazard for others, not the ones speeding. If other cars are passing you on the right, YOU NEED TO MOVE OVER TO THE RIGHT ASAP.

And water is wet.

If it is done against Musk's AI, you can be assured the President will make it a capital offense punishable by death. I wish I could put a /s on that, but...

They need Tesla's Full Self Landing (available any day now) to make it so. Of course, it'll explode into a fireball on impact, but they'll count that as a successful landing, anyway.

The best thing that could happen with Sonos is they get acquired by Alphabet. That would benefit them and Google.

And we got Kemi Badenoch as a result. Devastating.
