Looks great for most of America. Sadly, I wouldn’t qualify.

The more people use Firefox, the better. Lots of people had to use Internet Explorer for things… Until they didn’t because Chrome was faster and web devs focused on browser-agnostic technologies.

I need this poster or canvas printed so I can hang it on my office wall…

When applying to a US government position with a certain security clearance, they will do background checks of you, your family and extended family, if need be.

And I’m sure that can be the case for any employer who needs background checks. That being said, I also suspect some of these people in the database are dead.

I generally try to find things that make me laugh if I get to this point. I look up old Whose Line episodes or moments, Improv-a-ganza, and recently Dropout shows like Game Changer and Dirty Laundry.

Pretty sure we knew this was coming. Bunch of articles last year or the year before that stating that SSD prices were going to climb if not skyrocket.

Every single port, cable, switch and router between your fiber ONT to your laptop has to support that bandwidth. What model is your laptop? What model is your router?

When you say directly connect to the router, are you physically right next to the router testing the speed? Or are you plugging your laptop into ports installed throughout your home?

Wasn’t there an article last year that said that Chinese EVs have sent so many vehicles to Europe, they couldn’t get them out of the shipyards? Did that get resolved?

For almost 20 years, Google’s phones have been pretty friendly to ROM flashing. I suspect that so long as Apple and Samsung have such a large market share, that will continue.

EDIT: 15, not 20

And how did you expect that to happen?

Multi-Account Containers and Sidebar Tabs for me. Gotta keep those (work) sessions secure and easy to find.

Likely this. If they need to be FIDO2 compliant, then OTP and TOTP will be blocked. Personally, I would demand a company-provided phone for work.

This article is over a year old. However, if anyone wants a visual map, this article (https://www.sipri.org/yearbook/2023/02) has one showing where the various conflicts are. It’s also a year old.

I remember initially getting downvoted on Reddit when the announcement trailer was posted because I mentioned that this was going to be the case and that I was going to wait a couple years.

Paradox has focused hard on releasing games with DLC planned every 6-12 months as has been the case for almost all of their recent titles. And I play a lot of their games. Cities 2 should have released with at least some of the dlc content already released in 1, on top of being optimized for performance. Paradox should be the poster child for patient gamers.

It’s also going to get a pretty big update at the end of the month. So it’s a good time to buy.

The ‘let Blizzard be Blizzard’ quote comes from the opinion and point of view of the Executive Producer and Vice President of World of Warcraft and their meetings with the folks from Bethesda and Mojang and comparing notes. It doesn’t appear to be an official stance of Microsoft to not shake things up, but rather World of Warcraft itself is doing just fine that no one seems to want to intervene in its development.

“There’s no one asking us to do anything,” she continued. “World of Warcraft is doing very well and they’re very proud of what it’s been able to accomplish, so it’s almost like just let it be, and let it keep being awesome. They’ve been tremendously supportive and it’s like ‘let Blizzard be Blizzard’.”

GATTACA about to be a documentary

It’s likely he pulled it out of his ass, much like a lot of the headlines he throws up.

The mission-capable rate is 55 percent, but that definition is for a single-task mission. Considering the F-35 is meant to have multiple missions, the report is a bit damning on the supply issue. However, the report is meant to highlight the issues so that the military can take over supply and maintenance in 2027. And a lot of the issues are lack of supply and depots for maintenance.

The $1.7 trillion is an estimated cost over the lifecycle of the entire F-35 fleet of 2500 planes. The F-22 first flew in 1990 and entered service in 2005. So 20-30 years would be a decent lifecycle. The math for the F-35, using 20 year lifecycle, comes out to about $65 billion/yr for 2500 planes or $26 million/yr per plane. Part of the report is also providing recommendations on lowering maintenance costs.

It’s still a lot of money, but when we’re talking decades, we need to put that into perspective when healthcare spending in the US is $4.5 trillion per year.

Most of the tax goes to Healthcare and Social Security, 45% of the budget. Defense is 13%.

Lol like China supports a free market.
