I’ll take my chances with Netflix rather than an empire of media moguls.

Steve is great, but everyone is partisan.

Both can be true.

I prefer the 35mm version, at least when viewing the scene with the soldiers.

I’d imagine recent uptick in using services like Upstash may make it harder for people to know if they are vulnerable or not. Is this mitigated by disabling Lua script execution?

That pausing issue is plaguing me with several other titles. I think it tracks with background downloading of game updates, but haven’t had enough hours to entirely confirm it. What I did notice is that after installing Decky there are background jobs from some of the plugins that run native Linux updates (flatpak) and snapshotting.

If the Vision Pro ever takes off I'd be interested in seeing if all of these sensors on my hands could be used for more accurate gestures. But imagine by that point the sensors and models running on device will be good enough it won't matter.

Why would you want an Apple Watch without an iPhone?

Most of the benefits are because the ecosystem is tightly integrated. I expect that there isn't a large enough market and it so happens to lock people into their other products. I haven't tried using my Air Pods on an Android phone, but they work perfectly fine on my Steam Deck (Linux).

That sounds amazing. It is now on the travel list!

I support my tax dollars going to pay for universal child care. This is likely the second or third largest expense for young families. To be honest, I do not know how people can afford to have multiple children in daycare in any major metropolitan area.

I have the largest version of the iPhone 16 and it isn't that big. When I first upgraded the size difference was very noticeable, but that faded pretty quickly. It is annoying that it fits into my front pocket when turned diagonally.

I still get a little over 24-hours on my first generation Ultra. For a device that I barely "use" I do expect a lot more battery life out of it.

Anyone know if there's a reason why it is different?

You'd think that procedurally generated scenery would be preference for most governments. It raises less awareness than a blur or missing tiles.

I have a “lifetime pass”. I’ve noticed some of these “features” creeping into the ecosystem (bloat), but I haven’t actually seen any stripped functionality. For the most part, it works as advertised.

That being said, a lot of my mates are moving to Jellyfin. Nothing but good things from them.

Don't remind me.

It’s about the workflow for project templates. If there were a warning when creating or cloning that is one thing. But a folder structure, config files for tools, potentially requires the whole project to be a derivative?

Honestly, for this functionality (generating a new desktop project) how can you not at least warn them?

It is dangerous to allow project templates to have a copyleft license. Any project that uses it could be argued as a derivative work. For this behavior in your application it should be explicitly disallowed or at minimum a red dialog.

Better diagnosis and that autism covers a wider range of symptoms.

There's a big difference between "using Tylenol may increase the risk of autism" and "Tylenol causes autism". If this study is accurate, it merely links the two together, and does not provide the reason. The problem with RFK is he's using it as a way to appease his own base to justify an anti-vaccination and anti-science agenda.

For people that care, the state is politically a no go.

Politics aside: Agreed; you’re correct about DC being wholly unique which is why it’s difficult to compare to other cities (by the numbers) for a lot of regions. There really is not an option other than the National Guard in such a situation hence why there’s a carve out in the 1970s (?) act.

I am avoiding the argument regarding stronger law enforcement because there is a very little vague basis for it in this case. But legally speaking, it is within the letter of the law because there isn’t another option without triggering the Posse Comitius act.

Perhaps it is worth going to actually read some of the limitations (representation, budget, taxation) of what the government of DC is actually capable of doing versus doing a simple straight line math exercise. Crime is a problem, but taken within context it isn't anywhere near as bad as Baltimore or Philadelphia.

You keep citing the homicide rate but do not consider the geography and constraints of the capital region, i.e., some of the crime and violent offenders are from non-residents. You can't simply compare it to a city like London or Paris for many reasons.

You're just shoving data around thinking it proves a point. What point do you think that it proves?

It's worth questioning why most people living in urban areas lean and vote more liberal than the rest of the country. Those areas also tend to make (and thus contribute) more money on average, too.

When you don't give the local authorities the money and autonomy to do so it should not be a surprise that they cannot effectively do their duty. When you take a look at the trend of the data over time it doesn't tell a story of crime that isn't being managed. It may not be as quick or as thorough, but it has been downward trending.

A big part of the reason why DC has these problems is because they do not control much of their own budgeting due to the nature of how the federal government manages the territory.

Calling it a "dump" is interesting, especially compared to some other cities that have much larger populations, budget, and representation. I've been in the DMV for nearly twenty years and much prefer living here than other metro areas because it is simply a lot cleaner and safer. Baltimore and Philadelphia are both cities that are much worse than living in DC proper.

I have a friend with quite a large Reolink set up and he swears by them. I’ve been looking at them to replace my aging Ring outdoor cameras. Big downside for me is having to run a bridge for Home Kit integration.

Original SYNC was actually embedded version of Windows. It’s running QNX now and Android for future versions.

Just bought a 2022 Mustang to avoid the 2024-2025 series for SYNC 4 and the removal of physical buttons. Car is nice but can’t get past the whole digital set up.
