I "downgraded" from a top spec Macbook Pro 2019 16" i9 9980HK with 64GB RAM to the new 14" M1 Pro with 32GB. Fans are at 0 RPM all the time, I haven't heard them yet. It compiles the same Android project without a sweat and with 0 RPM fan speed. The i9 was hitting 100C and maximum RPM in the same use case and took maybe three times longer. And the new macbook was about 25% cheaper than the 16" I bought in 2020. It's a completely different league - worth all the money I spent.

This is done on device.

Intelligence and civilisation is not the goal of life or evolution. As long as the species is able to reproduce and is not cornered into a situation that requires adaption (as our predecessors once were) they can stay unchanged or without developing higher intelligence. Intelligence is just another tool that can be used to preserve life.

mapy.cz is miles better in terms of hiking maps, sattelite/plane maps and regular maps compared to Googe Maps - at least in Czech Republic and Slovakia. And their apps have offline mode.

They are still sold: https://amstat.com/products/anti-static-brush-with-ionizing-...

I think matrix LED lights are not allowed in US? But yes - having matrix headlights is a huge safety benefit. I am driving on high beam most of the time and only small parts are dimmed if there is a car in that sector. Works really well and it was well worth the money (Audi A6).

Yahoo Finance shows -30% on BTC: https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/BTC-USD/ It looks like some bug...

I had the newest X3 with iDrive and I think I never actually touched the display itself - the "wheel" was perfect, much faster and safer. There was literally no need to touch the screen.

Nice to hear that someone is still producing these tubes! What is the life expectancy of such a tube if switched on constantly?

That buffer land can be forest and lots of living creatures. Not a solar panel covered wasteland.

Or just a dense forest.

Most (or all?) EU citizen have state issued IDs that are basically mandatory for every single citizen. UK doesn’t have a mandatory ID.

Yes. A lot of people in EU don’t have passports because they don’t travel outside of EU. An ID is sufficient.

Uranium stocks have been soaring since 2020, some have 10x gains already. Check UUUU, DNN or if you want ETF then maybe URNM.

Most plastics will get brittle over long time, at least the older production ones (modern plastics have better plasticisers) even when kept in good conditions. Exposing it to UV light will make the process faster. But even O2 exposure will oxidise it over time. Rubber will also dissipate over time and get brittle and crumble. All of this is usually fine from a perspective of a humans average lifespan, but a lot of artefacts from this age will not be preserved.

Are gun barrels unregulated in most US states? E.g. in Slovakia a barrel is considered a main weapon part, and case of short arms the slide is considered another main weapon part. So a Glock has serial numbers on the barrel, slide and also the body. You can buy the rest without any license or manufacture it if you want, but no one will sell you a barrel or slide unless you have a purchase permit. You can't sell it to someone else, you need to transfer the ownership. And making a good and safe barrel and slide is the most complicated part, you can't just easily print this at home. So no one is printing guns in Slovakia yet (AFAIK :-)). And just for comparison - we have less strict rules than California (concealed carry is possible for regular citizen. Not limits on calibers or magazine capacity yet).

Most in EU do this or will do - it’s part of EU bank regulation (PSD2). SMS isn’t considered safe anymore and debit/credit card payments are confirmed through banking apps (you get a push and confirm).

You can still use as input along with other parts that are accessible without any permissions - for example the android version, device name, IP address...

I don't think an average person changes wallpapers frequently.

I am not sure what mechanism is Google using. But Android apps can talk to each other on the same device and you can restrict this to only applications that are signed with the same certificate (and this is guarded at the OS level).

They don't - without special permissions on newer Android versions (10+). There is an ANDROID_ID but it's scoped to your application on Android 8.0+, reinstalling the same app signed with same key will give you the same key but it returns a different value in other apps. This way you can't use for cross-app tracking.

Stop using Medium. I am getting a HTTP 500 and page reload every 10 seconds on both desktop and mobile Safari. It could be due to ad blocking, I am not the only one.

It’s actually now pretty hard to create fake FB accounts. You will at least need a phone number, but often times they will also ask for ID scan if the detection mechanism will mark your account as fake.

2) Slovakia will be launching 2 new reactor blocks (Mochovce 3 and 4), one by end of year and next one within 2 years. Even the existing two blocks create 84% of our energy and with the next two we will become energy independent. Adding those two blocks equals about 2 milion personal car emission "saved" compared to having same amount produced by coal power plants. And that's just one power plant for whole country of 5.5 million. Fortunately we didn't go the German route and we also get a lot of pressure from Austria to shut down our power plant (even though it passed all strict checks and is a very safe design). Last coal mine will be closed in 2027, but most of them already sooner.

Signal is down too due to an outage of a service provider (I assume AWS).

That’s priced in. It’s just fair that there is a mandatory amount for everyone and that’s the baseline.

Most basic Casio watches last at least 10 years on one battery.

You can then just paint over the LED...

It seems the general public of UK already lost the war on terror.
