In Canada even if you lease to own a phone it’s not carrier locked anymore, you have to pay the remaining balance if you leave, or possibly can return the phone (but that’s just throwing your money away)

All it would really take is internet providers to black hole the China AS numbers in their BGP configs. Then boom China basically can’t talk to the rest of the world.

But not in place of, no one is trying to say no chat clients ever, we just don’t want only chat clients.

Why are you even mentioning matrix? We don’t want a chat server corpo or not, we want a real functional forum with topics and history and indexed by search engines, not a single chat log that disappears into the void after 24 hours of use.

Congrats your are not the market target for EVs then, guess what that doesn’t mean that the majority of the population isn’t though.

Nothing in that comment discussed plugin hybrids though.

A non plug-in hybrid will be more efficient than a full gas vehicle because of the efficiency you can gain through minimizing the engine and tuning it for a more limited rpm range.

This ideally carries over to a plug-in hybrid in the same way even if it’s never plugged in, if all the gas engine does is charge the battery it can be more efficient than a gas only car due to reduced engine size requirements.

A 120v standard Ac adapter is all you need for overnight charging, and I’m pretty sure those come with the cars.

I hear this complaint a lot about charging times, but for 99.99% of people they are never in a single day going to drive beyond their cars range, meaning even a standard level 1 slow charger over night at home can manage their entire car usage.

It’s only people doing long distance road trips that have to worry, and that’s by far a minimum. Instead of boosting gas cars for that we could be looking at investing in rail so people don’t have to make the longer trips in a car anyway.

Continuing to speak is a bad look on you.

You talk shit out of your ass.

Look we all hate Elon and how neuralink is developing their tech that’s not in question here.

People are taking issue with your referring to desperate people with very very poor quality of life due to injuries or medical conditions as “brain dead”

They aren’t “brain dead”, dumb or stupid, they are reaching for what looks like the only potential light in their life. A life that is probably impossibly difficult for any of us typically healthy people to imagine.

Jesus fuck you all so fucking cynical it’s a miracle you can put your pants on without shitting them in fear.

I see you can’t read.

They hired an outside group to come in and perform an investigation, this is like the exact opposite of what police “internal investigations” do.

2016 was 8 years ago, that means by your definition twitter spent nearly half it’s existence as a toxic cesspool

I do, and if you accidentally skip a version when updating it the stupid thing bricks itself, what kind of stupid software can’t handle multiple make version updates.

Had to manually reset the version it thinks it was at and roll back to a older sticker image and update one version at a time until I caught up.

I haven’t had issues with syncing files on android. File sync is literally the only feature I use, so I should probably look for a simpler solution.

Now upgrading the fucking thing is a nightmare, not sure if me using docker images makes it worse or better though.

Yeah for Hawaii that pricing is sort of expected, but for anything mainland that prices is just disgusting

50 cents per kWh sounds fucking insane to me. That’s like 5-6 times more than I pay in Canada.

Literally all of them, but look at OpenSSL for a good example.

Literally everything runs off it these days, and it’s like 3 guys and a trenchcoat working on it most of the time.

It’s just how open source / the industry / people are. We all have our own stuff we want to do, so as long as the stuff your using works you don’t tend to care, and if it doesn’t you often don’t have the time or resources to do anything other than tell the owner to fix it.

Ah yes the military famous for their bright minds, or was it crayon eating? I can never remember since all I did was take computer science, physics, and math courses in university.

“my guy” is used as a general reference regardless of the gender of the target, especially if on the internet, when discussing someone who can’t use a fucking garbage bag, but if you wish we can refer to you as “shit for brains” because you certainly don’t have anything useful up there.
