Auto-translate is saying ‘snap knife’, but I’d imagine it’s to do with it being deployable / spring loaded in some way.

Agreed, just, that camera might as well be as capable as possible.

The camera and the IP rating are my hangups. IP might just be complacency, but I like not having to worry about rain or where to put the phone while paddleboarding or whatever.

Camera… I might be okay with a dedicated one of some kind. I have an old DSLR, but it’s too big to carry everywhere. Which means I have to purposefully go on a ‘photo trip’. Could of course get a decent pocket digital camera and the price of the Communicator + camera will probably be at on par with a new flagship phone.

Not looking to reserve but will probably have to think more about it once it’s out.

I mean service accounts and email groups are a thing.

This sounds like someone asked an LLM how to give them an email account and it parroted the instructions for a regular user because no one involved new any better.

Absolutely it didn’t just get lit on fire.

But that amount of money is enough to end world hunger for a decade. (According to the WHO, ~$7-8 billion a year.)

Instead of being the next Carnegie but with food instead of libraries, and worldwide, Zuckerberg went for a moon shot pet project that an undergrad MBA student would’ve been laughed out of the room for presenting. Diverting time, money, and resources from anything actually productive.

While paying basically no taxes.

Verified by providing well sourced and reasoned answers. There are PhD contributors but mostly it’s down to providing consistently providing context to an answer and not going off on some fringe tangent. It’s easily the most heavily moderated subreddit.

“Why on reddit” comes up often and the answer has consistently (historically anyway) been that there isn’t really a better long-form public outreach platform at the moment. Blogs are close don’t have the same opportunity for followup questions and definitely don’t have the same “drive-by” effect of just seeing it on the front page.

The short version is, while the meaning/intent is fascist as hell. The attribution of the phrase is “highly unlikely”.

Tiles and the metro interface in general were a really good idea. Kind of a shame everything’s consolidated around iPhone’s icon system instead. I remember being impressed with my mom’s, but it was such a flash in the pan and had so little 3rd party app support I never ended up getting one.

You could do something similar with widgets I suppose.

You’re talking about State laws being different.

They’re asking about the Federal government applying federal laws differently to select States.

Which is very not normal.

At least in my state, it explicitly means proof of citizenship. Permanent residents have a slightly different ID. The documents required to get one are what you would use to prove citizenship. Passport, birth certificate, etc. and it’s all verified by relevant agencies. That’s kind of the whole point.

Frankly even if they’re “just” lawfully present and that’s not differentiated on the ID, that should be enough reason for DHS to not detain them if any remotely reasonable policy were being followed instead of rounding up people based on skin color.

* proof of citizenship or lawful presence. Which is supposed to be indicated on the card. Which is supposed to be validated by DHS.

One of the ways REAL ID doesn’t matter for voting is that putting a ballot in a box is only the very first step in counting a vote, and there are multiple checks whether it’s valid and from person that is allowed to vote afterwards. After several centuries of practice paper voting is pretty thoroughly stress tested. Even if most people have no idea how.

I can’t imagine it’s a single physical server anymore but a server instance across many blades / VMs / whatever. But absolutely there are many games where “600+” on a server would be considered a sign of a dying population.

Are 600 player servers impressive? I’m sure they have plenty of hardware and engineering involved but that doesn’t sound exceptional as much as expected for the scope they’re aiming for.

WoW is a simpler game, in that it’s effectively 2 dimensions and doesn’t involve physics, but that would be a fairly low server population, especially back in it’s heyday. Ditto for many other big MMOs.

EvE has 600+ player battles on a fairly regular basis, much less on a server instance in general.

No those are links between two separate systems. I just want to use my phone screen and the car’s speakers / power.

why we started adding computer operating systems to our vehicles to begin with.

Because fuel injection operates better than even the most high tech carburetors across a wider range of environments. And if you have more sensors and active feedback you can better control everything from emissions to warm up time. Everything trickles down from racing / luxury vehicles. Once you have processors involved, might as well do fancy things with them inside the cabin too.

A lot of the dash / center console nonsense is consumer cost cutting, but frankly it should’ve been separate from the start. Any budget phone is a better GPS / media platform than a half-baked system by a vehicle manufacturer. At this point it should just be a USB-C or bluetooth connection so the device without the bargain basement processor can do the heavy lifting for a user interface.

They break this down on their page, but while that’s certainly true-ish for the last year or two the bulk of the collection is from before that.

On their torrent page it’s explained more but it’s broken up into many many torrents and you basically say how much space you’re willing to host and it generates one with the least seeded “blob”.

I don’t really know how that would work on the back end but it seems technically impressive.

I think it gets some flak but I’ve been super happy with Unraid.

Migrated hardware by moving the usb drive over to the new system and it didn’t blink that everything but the HDDs was different. Just booted up and started the array and dockers. The JBOD functionality is great. Drive loss is just an excuse to add a bigger drive.

Modern specs are complicated. I vaguely remember something about a cryptographic key the driver needs to be signed with to successfully complete the handshake to enable all display options between the computer and display.

Not entirely unwarranted either, an unexpected amount of voltage on an unexpected pin because the driver / hardware is misconfigured damaging your TV would suck. (Still sounds like the Forum is being a dick about it though.)
