Well, true. But that's not an excuse to keep repeating the same mistakes.

Should have made Web BASIC.

Javascript's type handling is atrocious, and that's pretty fundamental to a language.

The main benefit of AM is that it propagates very, very far. For emergency use you only need one transmitter working, to cover a very wide area. Not the multiple systems that you need for Starlink to work.

Many EVs support vehicle to load, so you can run appliances off them in the event of an outage. The issue is more to do with the planning that needs to happen for things like that to be useful. If you are going to rely on a battery, you need to make sure it is charged when you need it, which precludes also using it for general driving.

It's more of a nice to have.

FTFY.

It seems wiser to identify what could be possible before claiming what is impossible.

Every accusation is a confession with you lot. People whine about imaginary problems? Fed up of being told you are a bad person for your beliefs?

Good luck with this. Shaming people for being fat worked so well, I'm sure belittling them will get them to have more kids too. It certainly worked when people pointed out the deficiencies in your behaviour.

Maybe they are anticipating rivals entering that space and want to move on to something where they have more temporary exclusivity. One or more of the US ones will get there sooner or later, and Chinese companies are well on the way too.

It may also be some pressure from the US government, with the goal of getting back to the moon before China does. More resources for Starship, which is supposed to be able to do the whole mission (take off from Earth, fly to the moon, land, take off again, return to Earth, land).

It frustrates me that Steam has become the only platform for a lot of games. While not quite indie, the IL-2 series isn't from a massive developer. You don't seem to be able to buy it anywhere else and simply download an installer.

I need to check if has any DRM too, because I'm not installing that shit on my computer.

It's been the playbook since at least 9/11. If the electorate ever temporarily regains control of their bowels, an new threat is quickly manufactured.

I'm just waiting for them to start whining that the Chinese stole the idea that they rightfully stole first.

A better use of those AI tokens would have been to re-work Firefox into something that is easier to build and work on. The code is horrible and difficult to even compile, which really holds Firefox back and keeps everyone using Chromium as the base of their browsers (Edge, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi etc).

Because nobody is going to use this browser daily and the only way to reduce the dominance of Chrome is to get more browsers to switch away to basing themselves on Firefox. At the moment every Firefox "fork" is little more than a mild re-skin and some changed defaults, or unusable due to being so outdated (Palemoon).

I went to Subway and told the lady to give me a 6 inch chicken tikka on Hearty Italian (TM) with cheese and some sweet sauce. My wife was really impressed by the sandwich I made.

Sure, and it's not adequate in many regions.

it's slow as hell.

You might be right. I wonder about the bandwidth too. Starlink is already over subscribed and starting to enforce limits on its unlimited service.
