Does it take four hours to vote in USA?! That is insane.

I’ve never spent more than 4 minutes the four times I’ve voted in the general election in Norway. That is in person voting. If you also include getting to and from the voting place, add 10-20 minutes, round trip, walking.

Obviously fake. Flag should blow in the opposite direction when the plane flies forward. Though, maybe the image is mirrored.

Except when anyone does any work on the concrete, anywhere in the building.

I find that it really depends. Some contracted work mostly take specialised equipment, where the necessary skill is something you can pick up. The cost of the equipment is often (at entry level, but more than good enough for the task at hand) less than the show + a couple of hours.

You spent the whole weekend maybe. But you learned something new. Got some nice tools. And more often than not, did a better job because you didn’t rush anything.

I’m happy for you. From what I’ve seen, that observation correlates highly with one or both of 1. a poor evaluation of “productivity”, 2. rather low productivity to begin with.

The first category is by far the worst, as they think they’re being extremely productive. But the burden is simply shifted onto someone else. No doubt that the authors of each of these vulnerability reports considered themselves to be immensely productive: https://gist.github.com/bagder/07f7581f6e3d78ef37dfbfc81fd1d1cd

Producing 10 times more garbage, is a hefty net negative.

Not a single study representative of normal tasks has shown that to be the case.

Is that what the LLM told you? I would like to know. Genuinely curious. Did you make it up on the spot? Is it motivated by malice, or stupidity? What’s your deal?

Per capita household income:

• CA is 5th
• NY is 7th

* Poorly regulated capitalism

If they didn’t use the trademarked name, they’d probably avoid it all. Surely, there is a way to do this without forcing the trademark owner to issue cease and desists?

US is much more involved in the former, and same w Israel in the latter. They aren’t exactly taking turns.

It’s not even this. It never had anything to do with responsibility, or child safety, etc. It has everything to do with tracking users which makes collected information more valuable to data brokers. Secondly, it let’s them justify advertisement fees in the age where where some traffic is from AI agents.

Well… that sucks. A version with denuvo might as well not exist for all I care. Fingers crossed the PS5 version runs OK…

A pirated game shouldn’t give you a better product than paying for it.

Especially when you imply what part you missed in the question. Like if I asked “That last… what?”, to which you could just say “3 words”, but instead start “I don’t have ADHD, but I…”. Then, once you finally get to the “3 words”, you mumble it in the exact same way… Gah

Would limit higher power charging

Is it not possible to lock the bootloader again with LineageOS?

If you are genuinely asking, I can play Devil’s advocate:

Because then they can set the price at 40 USD, making it more affordable, and possibly make back the difference with some (mostly) cosmetic premium content.

This is not so easy to argue for games that are sold at 70 USD, and premium content is much more tied to gameplay, and all the FOMO dark patterns are turned to max.
