True, but AP newswire internal or social media can probably deliver something. It’s just annoyingly common that they don’t use larger images in a lot of news. Colorado Sun is a good example of getting with the times.

Honestly, it wouldn’t have been a bad place to be if they hadn’t destroyed it from the inside. Windows on ARM is super stable. You can still build your own computer, or at least buy one with user-swappable parts. Linux has become much easier and wasn’t too bad to use even a decade ago, but it was nice being able to have a non-Apple computer running programs and getting work done that was just there to do the business. I’m speaking as one that attempted to use the kool-aid for a few years after Apple stopped using user-swappable batteries, memory, disk, their hardware upcharges are pure asshole insanity. I’m fully capable of using Linux, compiling my kernel, modifying driver source to work around problems, but, I don’t want to when I’m just trying to pay my bills. Streaming media services come and go with Linux support, hardware support is often lacking until the work is done to make the hardware work correctly. Windows, for all it’s … windowsness … worked. Until the last 8 months when they decided to put a molotov cocktail under the hood and see what happens.

Apple is headed this way too, now that they don’t have SJ to errantly blow up the current tech to try something new and random (although, had he survived his cancer, he’d have just gone Musky with age like a lot of that generation has, mmmm leaded gas!) Apple will hold on just a bit longer because iOS gave them one new platform reboot (ish) to live off of, while Microsoft is still kicking around technical debt until the end of time.

Oh, edit though, I’ve been migrating my machines to Linux one by one now. Not going to bother sticking around to see that Windows train wreck continue.

I can’t imagine having to move state to keep my job

It used to be more common with some of the automaker jobs. Had friends who’s families moved all over the US to follow their work periodically.

The big thing more, was that sorting all the recycling is currently the big problem, and it’s a perfect use for trainable tech. Regardless if it ends up being able to be recycled. Better sorting means less loads of recycling being diverted to landfills from giving up on sorting.

As for plastic, I’d like to say more often the opportunities that do exist are more frequently reuse/reprocessing into other things.

To point out that: even on the operating system/platform where the YouTube app comes from, it is pointless. Works fine in a browser.

Without band 71 (used for both LTE and 5G depending on parts of the country) you’ll likely see more no service scenarios while rural, but if you’re primarily metro, those will be exceedingly rare.

I’m sure there’ll be:

• a lawsuit
• local news coverage
• a statement from some high up congressperson
• a statement from the president “come on!”
• a lengthy and expensive congressional investigation with the heads of the big three food stores where they’ll ask them if they know how facebook works
• a convoluted bill passed that is based on the rolling average price creep over x consecutive hours that’s so confusing everyone just gives up and pays the surge price or starves as America tries as hard as possible to third-world our ass until Putin’s Russia (or North Korea or whatever) looks like the Promised Land by comparison (Reverse Babylon AD?)

There’s no reason to even use the YouTube app. One of the first things I uninstall on Android.

Ouch, no band 71 at all. That’ll hurt T-Mobile extended range and indoors as it is their largest low frequency band. The EU version at least supports one T-Mobile 5G band, and their largest at that (41).

Band 12 and 13 will help low band scenarios with AT&T and Verizon respectively. No band 14 means no AT&T service in rural areas like (my always go to example) western Nebraska where it is AT&T’s only low band frequency.

Definitely not the worst band support, but not great either.

Too bad the US is such a toxic environment for cool phones with all the carrier-induced “certification” they put in the way to prevent low-volume and niche manufacturers from bothering.

The whole sorting problem is a real-world case where AI and computer vision could be used right now. Teach the machine to tell the items apart using multiple wavelengths of light. Humans would still be needed for the more complicated sorting, but items could be pre-sorted before getting to the humans.

Immediate loss of all Federal funding. Welfare states like Louisiana will feel the pinch quickly.

Web sites like that are so annoying, they couldn’t even be bothered to find an image or video of LineageOS running on a Switch?

“My new email address is persen@icloud.com”

Done.

No explanation necessary. Just give people the new address.

(Just used icloud as a bad joke there.)

If the orange man wins, America is over and none of your concerns will matter as we slip into a fascist dystopia. That is an existential threat we have to deal with right now, and it can actually be prevented.

Tetraethyl lead will do that to brain cells.

PDF X-Change editor, WunderShare PDFElement (although their license is a bit annoying), and other can easily replace Adobe for editing PDFs. Probably are some open source options as well.

SumatraPDF for viewing. As others had mentioned, Preview.app on Mac has always been pretty robust.

But we still have lawns, which is a significant chunk of water use.

FWIW, lawns aren’t the problem. Take Colorado for example. 97% of the portion of Colorado River water (the rest goes to downstream states like Utah, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, California, Wyoming, and also to Mexico) that Colorado gets to use is agriculture.

Of the remaining 3% that isn’t used for inefficient ag, that whole 3% includes industrial, residential, businesses.

Of the subset of that 3% that covers residential, that subset includes some percentage of lawn water use (your references mentioned 50% to 70%) for the months that irrigation is turned on (in Colorado, late May to mid October.)

Lawns are very far down the scale of concern, but media and industry like to make the problem about the individual instead of admitting responsibility for their inefficient and wasteful processes.

Yes, lawns in desert environments don’t make any sense, but there are entire industries to fry before it becomes necessary to be concerned with that with any amount of alarm. Wet land around homes also helps mitigate wildfire spread, although hopefully plant type, object placement, and technology help mitigate that in the future as xeriscaping and zeroscaping become more common. It also helps slow dirt erosion.

The war genocide in Gaza has wiped out entire Palestinian families.

Every time, even NPR. Clickbait can suck it.

Thanks for saving the click.
