Yeah, all kinds of options for consumer electronics that aren't made in China.
Quoting Hitler at campaign rallies undoubtedly energized the base.
Wow, you really can't even continue reading once sentence after the one that triggers you.
One of the coolest theaters I've been to was this weird thing in Asheville, NC (go figure) where they replaced every other row of seats with tables and served pizza and beer.
I don't believe anything is dying until NetCRAFT confirms it.
Everything you said is true for an individual, but misses the point the parent was making regarding the total number of charging stations needed.
If an EV needs to charge 20 minutes every 200 miles, and an ICE vehicle needs to pump gas for 5 minutes every 200 miles, then you will need 4 times the number of public level 3 chargers as gas pumps to serve the same number of cars. In fact if roadtripping EVs are mostly charging at normal meal breaks, then you will need even more chargers, since use will be more clustered compared to gas stops.
On the flip side, the public chargers will only be used by people on road trips or who don't have a home charger which will decrease their volume. Still I would expect you to need more chargers than gas pumps along highways, and fewer in the middle of cities.
I would love nothing more than a point release that addresses the OS's shortcomings for institutional device management. It is entirely too easy for device management to be broken by a bad link in the Volume Ownership > SecureToken > Bootstrap Token chain, where the only fix is a wipe/repave.
Apple has been openly hostile to institutional device management, even though K12/academia in general has historically been such a huge market for them. They simply have to get over this obsolete idea that he/she who possesses the device owns the device.
Demonstrating once again that in the big picture of security, the strongest encryption available can be thwarted by any idiot user.
Competing disinformation.
Except nobody is uprooting their factories and supply chains and pay American wages when they can just tack on 25% to their prices.
They wrote this software for free, and they gave you for free security updates that don't require accepting any new features. They even went out of their way to continue putting out security releases (ESR 115.13) for operating systems that Microsoft and Apple don't even support anymore. And they did this all six months in advance so you would have plenty of time to upgrade.
But enjoy your freedom to run old unpatched software.
In many ways I like the Lyttle Lytton contest even more. There were some very good Bulwer-Lytton entries, but it could also devolve into who could write the longest run-on sentence. Having a short word limit forced authors to really distill their horribleness.
If you take a book, reproduce it exactly, and add commentary at the end, the resulting work is a derivative work and you need permission of the original copyright holder to distribute it. FSF has only granted permission to use the AGPL exactly as it is with no modification or additions, so Neo4j had no permission to use their modified version of the AGPL, and doing so was violating FSF's copyright.
Happy to see an Ultima reference here, though as much as I loved the series (we don't talk about IX) I'm not sure it's reach puts it on this list. It was certainly influential for a fairly specific demographic of which many Slashdotters are a member.
Much of the excitement we get out of our work is that we don't really know what we are doing. -- E. Dijkstra
