Nah, the deck will pop up the portal automatically in most cases.

I have never had an issue with alternate wifi networks, traveling or not.

If I had to watch ads, I would not use youtube. Period.

In the case of LPDDR5, we don’t have removable memory due to tight signaling requirements and the fact that the DIMM slots themselves take up too much space when populated.

LPCAMM2 solves this, so I hope it is widely adopted going forward because LPDDRR5 offers a huge upgrade over previous gen.

Yeah, but it is regular DDR5, which is less power efficient.

I do love Framework, however. They are at the top of my list when I eventually upgrade my laptop.

Hopefully they give us CAMM2 modules with LPDDR5 at that point.

Outside of DIY, end users don’t care. See: Apple.

Also, if you have a laptop with LPDDR5, it is soldered. If it has DDR5 or some variant of DDR4, it is likely also soldered as most OEMs did away with DIMM slots.

I don’t like or agree with the practice.

The walmart closest to me only had self checkout and got rid of ALL of their cashier lanes. They had 4 times ad many self checkouts. That lasted for a few months. It went from taking 5-10 minutes in checkout to 45 minutes or more. Why? Untrained people are slow and the software is terrible. In addition, Shoplifting went through the roof.

They finally added cashier lanes back in. No idea if it was complaints or dropping revenue that caused the reversal.

That was one of the reasons they killed the api: to support ad growth. Unfortunately they failed to realize the combination of ad-blocking browsers and users just quitting the site from losing client access means they were never going to hit pre-IPO revenue targets.

Had they instead focused on affordable API pricing and driving subscriber revenues up, they would have exceeded revenue targets.

source: I was in a somewhat similar position (not quite the same, no third party client), but chose different and found myself making more subscription revenue than ad revenue thanks to a viewer base more than happy to pay more.

Our electric company charges 25% more for renewables.

My Apple TV has no ads.

The M3 was announced yesterday: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/10/everything-to-know-about-apples-new-m3-m3-pro-and-m3-max-processors/

It will be out before these chips are. So will next gen x86-64 chips, Zen 5 at least, and possibly Intel Arrow Lake depending on timing.

Just hit the refresh button. None of the variants I have seen pop up on reload.

That being said, as long as you ONLY have uBlock Origin installed (no other ad-blockers), you should rarely see this popup, if at all.

Why are you downloading chrome? You are supposed to download Firefox.

uBlock Origin has no issues with blocking ads.

I get trying to fight it via legal means, but it is a solved problem.

I can only do $3

Strip it down and make a Steam Machine out of it. Valve could likely sell a tiny set top box for under $100.

Good luck. I switched to Firefox months ago and couldn’t be happier.

It shipped on several different platforms. If you own the game on Steam, it was updated. Same for the consoles like the switch.

Most folks I follow went to Mastodon. I even met some new folks, including some that are local!

Some are still on twitter even though a small number of us begged/pleaded with them.

One went to blue sky.

It gets below zero in the north east in the winter. Heat pumps stop working at 20-30F and the system has to switch to classic/emergency heat. They are great for fall/spring (or summer as an AC), but useless for winter.

The bigger issue is that it is extremely expensive to install ductwork, wiring for 1 or more thermostats, and a shiny new heating/cooling system in many existing homes that use classic radiator heat. Depending on where the oil tank is located, it may require removal as well (example: if it is underground, depending on state/municipal laws).

Nice. That response letter wasn’t exactly legalese, but was outstanding.

Bitwarden because it is open source.

I made a lot of money from GME. I bought a bunch of shares early on for $10-$50 and sold the morning when Robinhood yanked the buy button. However, most WSB plays are money losers.

Damn, Mr. Musk could have made more money betting on stocks mentioned in r/wallstreetbets, and they ALWAYS lose money. Dude seriously needs to have twitter do the opposite of what he thinks.

I have never seen a billionaire try to go from billions to zero so hard in my life. It is like he is showing the U.S. government why billionaires shouldn’t exist.

Is there a fund that lets me do long term shorts on rich people?

It is just a temporary injunction. Initially it is in effect for two weeks, though it may be extended while the suit is underway.

nope, everyone I follow has moved to mastadon.
