My first thought was: why have I never heard of this? The answer seems to be: 2" x 3" photo paper costs $0.41/ea.

Mail-order professional photo prints are quite a bit cheaper than that. So, the main thing this contends with is other instant photo creation methods. Which are pretty niche ever since digital cameras became good.

If they aren’t getting much traction somewhere, but are spending outsized resources there, it makes sense to redirect the manhours elsewhere.

BYD is heavily subsidized by China. Tariffs to offset the Chinese subsidies are reasonable.

Apple still has it as Gulf of Mexico.

The power of BCC (always use BCC for mass mails).

You are now picturing Trump’s face inside the stargate from Stargate SG-1.

You are welcome.

Regulating ISPs as a utility is a pretty big change, not simply a technical detail; it is in the purview of Congress.

Congressmen aren’t individually drafting bills, they direct their aids to draft the bills and hammer out the details. We don’t need to overhaul our system, we need congressmen to do their job rather than offloading their job to the Executive.

Edit: Said bill would direct the Executive on how to regulate them as a utility at which point small technical details, as you mention, are handled by the Executive.

Like most large changes, it requires an act of Congress. Doing these via the executive leads to weak outcomes like this.

The Switch mostly lives on the talent and creativity of Nintendo devs. Russia seems to be lacking in the quantity and quality in that regard as well.

Honestly, I would expect Russia to shoot more for PC gaming, rather than console gaming. But that would almost certainly require using home-grown or Chinese semiconductors. I’m not sure there are too many homegrown Russian semiconductor fabs, and Chinese chips aren’t known for their high performance like Taiwanese (TSMC, and by extension nVidia, AMD) and American chips (Intel) are.

If the screens were as durable as the non-foldables, foldable phones would be the obvious choice. They protect the screen by putting it on the inside and are pretty satisfying to close.

With that said, I don’t forsee a technology that lets them get the screens nearly as durable as non-foldable screens. So, like you said, will almost certainly remain a niche feature.

These are pumped hydro, but with extra steps, more expense, and less mass stored (read: less energy storage). ThunderFoot did a video going through this in detail, he even used the crane-based one in his examples.

This is the question you always need to ask: is this new mass-based storage better than pumped hydro?

If you feel up for it, boot into the live disk for Mint. Lets you trial the OS without touching your OS install.

But, I hear you on the lazy angle. Momentum is a hell of a thing.

Linux asnt an option for … Davinci Resolve

Davinci Resolve has a Linux download button on their website. So it should be ok. Admittedly I haven’t used that specific program on Linux, so I can’t say for sure it’s ok or not.

leap into the realm of Apple silicon with an M4 Pro Mac Mini

Yeah, Apple did a real good job with their processors in the last few years. Intel was holding them back hard. It’s amazing how much better the new systems are compared to just a few years ago.

This whole Win 11 mess is what finally convinced me to switch. I still can’t get over that Settings hasn’t reached feature parity with Control Panel yet. Figured if I have to re-learn how to do settings for the 10th time, I might as well do it in an OS that isn’t shoving ads in my face.

Alternative: Submit resumes directly to companies you are interested in and/or use a recruiter. The latter is surprisingly nice. Last time I used one I got lined up for phone interviews with little effort and the recruiter pushed the company forward during the hiring pipeline when the company was being wishy-washy.

The recruiter only gets full payment if you get hired and stay at your job for a full year. (And this payment does not come from you!)

China is becoming an increasingly unreliable trade partner. Preventing them from completely taking over a segment is prudent.

Just go back to uBlock Origin. No reason to give Google more money, they don’t respect their customers.

It disturbs me that people would consider TikTok an accurate source of…anything.
