Honestly might be part of it, by going out of spec on the timestamps it probably let’s them more easily insert different length ads

Whenever a news article asks a question, you can always answer no.

Oil companies will simply reduce supply so they can make the same or more $ per barrel

For your experience to only be degraded a little.

For an slightly better but still degraded experience they want you on Google Chrome. But remember please use 360p or lower so their poor servers don’t have to work so hard, they even help you do this by default on mobile!

They make a bunch of the other chips that go into computer devices, and from what I understand it’s binary blob or nothing for a lot of it?

The only shocking thing is that the rich idiot who said “fuck you” to all the safety standards actually suffered consequences.

That’s crazy talk! Just mentioning that made my shares in FuckThisPlanetOilForLife drop by 0.0000001 percent! You’ll ruin the economy! Think of the share holders and the rich!

Adobe well probably use the tried and true excuse of “scanning for child abuse material” and cry that anyone who refuses must be a pedo.

Then they’ll just steal the data anyway and use/sell it to train AI models.

I have had many, many victories, often numerous victories in a single day while younger.

Now my victories, while still glorious, often occur days apart.

But I will battle on FOR THE GLORY OF THE EMPIRE!

It was a short but hard fought battle, but I emerged victorious for the glory of the Empire!

I woke up with morning wood FOR THE GLORY OF THE EMPIRE!

If you have docker containers and other stuff all on that USB drive I’d really reccomend getting it all off that USB (not just logging) and onto a proper drive of some kind. USB thumb sticks are not reliable long term storage, you will wake up to find the drive failing one day and good chance you lose everything on it with little to no warning.

My guess is log files are being written to it? Might want to install a proper drive internally and redirect log storage. With less activity the USB drive should not heat up anywhere near as much.

I never realised how badly I wanted to go to a Madonna concert until this moment

X is deprecated, you should have moved into systemd-Y

You should change to Arch, I don’t use X but Arch is better.

There’s a constant race between inventors and the universe. Inventors are trying to create idiot proof devices, and the universe is creating better idiots.

The universe is winning.

There’s always a trade off when it comes to any device.

Fast or slow, lots of features or basic, cheap or expensive, thin/stylish or ruggedized, water or other ingress resistant standards. All of these have to be weighted against each other.

Also what constitutes a drop? 4 feet, 40 feet, 400? (sorry if I turned on anyone with a foot fetish)

It is absolutely possible to create a mobile phone with most features people want that survives multiple 4 foot high drops, but it will be encased in a few cm of rubber, the touch screen will be under a noticeable screen protector, and reception might suffer a bit, and it won’t have wireless charging unless you’re ok if that stops working after a unlucky drop. It will also probably be expensive, even more so if you then want to use more premium materials in order to try and slim it down some.

Well, ideally climate change (and other problems like it, for example, microplastics) would be causing changes to most industries.

The problem is short term profits are still prioritised over long term stability and the whole not destroying the ecosystem or humanity thing.

It was one of the best value for money experiences I’ve ever had. Only beat out by The left 4 dead series based on hours played.
