It seemed much faster than 80MPH to me, but having only seen trains in the States up to that point which do go slower than that, I suppose that would have seemed like a bullet train to me. Thanks for the info.

I took my iPhone 5s to Broke Ass Phones in Cleveland for a battery replacement a few years ago. I can get 2 to 3 days out of a full charge.

I'm still rocking an iPhone 5s like it's 2013. I was forced to ditch my dumb phone a while back because of 3G being deprecated. I got the 5s for free, my wife's old phone. Makes calls and texts just fine.

Something to sell off later on down the road at a loss to private equity for a tax incentive.

Yep, said the same thing a month ago when the news was first posted on Slashdot. It won't be long now until private equity snaps it up and bleeds the platform for every last cent before destroying it completely.

All the Arduino stuff is open-source. All Qualcomm bought was just a lot of assets including the name. But the IDE, the bootloader, etc are all open source.

Just fork and continue.

Semiglutide also has a dulling effect on taste buds. Many have reported their favorite foods taste terrible once they started on them.

So it also has the effect that foods responsible for weight gain are also now unpalatable so you'll just eat less in general, making you lose weight that way as well.

Download Microsoft Powertoys (not to be confused with Sysinternals). Universal, unformatted text paste available. No more shuffling it through Notepad.

There are a lot of quality of life features in it. All I do now is hit CTRL+ALT+V and plaintext, universally for the most part.

No. That's what Regedit (I use Registry Workshop) is for. There haven't been flat-file text configs since, I dunno, Windows 3.0? Everything beyond that, Windows 95+, it's just legacy jank. I like that 3rd parties refuse to use the registry, especially if it's a portable app, but I wish they'd let you know when they do. And then there's the whole AppData kerfuffle. Is it in Local? Local Low? Where the hell did you put your text config file?!

Many Win32 and AMD64 programs have plaintext configs, as do games. You still need a text editor. But for Microsoft stuff, I highly recommend Registry Workshop. Faster search. Undo. Multiple search windows. Really good stuff.

You can literally tell Notepad to shut it all down. All of it.

Figure it out. It's in settings. The settings keep changing, but you can dock it all down to no-AI, no tab memory, does "exactly what it used to, and no more."

And if that's not good enough for you, get Notepad++ already. It's a much better text editor and can do markup and automatic indentation of code with a closeable tree. Most of what I used Notepad for was editing .cfg, .ini files, and scripts, and I expect that's what many of us do here.

Only people who don't understand computers will need to swallow this. Nerds, if that's still Slashdot, don't have to. Be a nerd. Shut it down.

In case of the CIA top-secret cloud, Amazon had an actual SCIF (Secure Compartmentalized Information Facility) where only people with an appropriate clearance could come in. It's probably be something similar for Google.

Who in this thread is worshipping Steve Jobs? Who said he has super powers? Do you just have an automated filter that finds any post that mentions Steve Jobs and then starts posting flamebait? Does it have a list of everything he ever did wrong so that you can randomly post a response? There is as much to learn from people who you hate as the people you admire.

This is why nobody can discuss anything rationally on the internet. When someone post something that Joe Biden did right, a troll will inevitably pollute the discussion with "Nyah nyah, you left wing wokists worship him." When someone posts something that Donald Trump did right, another troll else will jump in and say "Nyah nyah, Trump is an orange man with small hands." In the name of Socrates, try to keep your easily-triggered brains on topic!

Isn't that what Meta won a court case arguing last week? Better not let the judge see this!

I'm fairly certain I was at a crossing that a high speed train used. It was my second day in Iwakuni Japan and the crossing was not too far from the front gate entrance of the base. This would have been around May of 1989. That train whizzed by MUCH faster than any other train I had ever witnessed before here in the states, I'm talking MUCH faster. Perhaps railroad codes have changed since then in Japan? Are there any other Marines that were stationed in Iwakuni around that time that remember this? (Also, do you remember the soba truck? Soup soba!)

I remember the days when it was Apple that screwed over consumers when you wanted more memory. Nowadays even $500 to go from 32GB to 64GB of RAM is cheap.

It's rather ridiculous. And if you bought RAM 2 weeks ago, it's probably doubled in price today.

At this point in time it might be better to just invest in RAM - buying now and then waiting a couple of weeks and selling it.
