But foreign politics less so. New government in Kenya? Not a big deal. Convicted felon and rapist shitting on the world? Annoying, but there are more important local matters.

That’s where the phrase “out of whack” came from. You just needed to give it a whack.
I had a similar thing on an old crt monitor. The screen would start to flicker badly after a while, and 8 year old me found if you banged the side, just right, it would keep working for a couple of hours.
Turns out the circuit board had some dry solders on it and when I hit it on the side where the board was, it got the connection back for a while.
At the quantum level, there is true randomness. From there comes the understanding that one random fluctuation can change others and affect the future. There is no certainty of the future, our decisions have not been made. We have free will.
Not equivalent. Let’s measure the aircraft performance by its ability to carry passengers between capital cities.
It’s baby steps and we need to encourage more investment. Not dismiss the Wright brothers for being unable to fly from New York to London after ten years of development.
My first thought was the reliability. Can you rely on this new tech in a life or death situation. I didn’t even think of the batteries.
I am getting old. My parents told me that I’d understand how the world works when I get older, but I just hate it more and more.
The amount meta will pay is pocket change to them.
I used to play carrier command back in the day. It had low poly graphics, but it was great for the time. I used to love flying a Manta to escort a walrus to hit a long distance target. Did you play the original? How does it compare?
You probably have more than the average amount of legs too.
Commenting because I want to do something like this too.
Here you go then
“Oi, this startup’s about to turn an $800 kids’ robot into a bloody paperweight, but they’re havin’ a crack at open-sourcing it before it carks it.”
“Furthermore and completely unrelated, the employee who called for the investigation has retired, effective immediately”
It’s not even all usage, it’s all the other fees they slap on to make more profit.
I know someone working there. I was in a few group calls he organised using teams where I used an anonymous login. Then Microsoft forced you to make an account to use it, so I declined after that.
Skype used to be peer to peer. Your call went from you to your friend (whomever). Microsoft decided that they couldn’t mitm that setup to scrape data; so, soon after they acquired Skype, they made all calls go through their servers.
Then they tried to make Skype make more money, since those servers aren’t free. Then they made teams and copied half the code into that, and cludged the rest to make it hold together.
Just like my local dive…
Companies are made up of people. Companies save money by firing the most expensive people, the most experienced. The ones left have a lot less experience.
Everyone I know has their contacts backed up to google or apple. Enter your account and password into your new phone and your contacts are there. Zero benefit.
Have it form connections to all the other browsers using the extension and they all send a click.
