Ask your mom if you can have a little more internet time today and I'll explain to you that the term was used for television before there were cars that reflashed themselves from a cellular connection.

I know someone who really loved Mini-Disc. He made his own TOSLINK cable from the normal jack to a mini jack because he couldn't find the cable in the store. But then MP3 came out with none of the stupid restrictions that Sony placed on it because Sony is also a big copyright asshole.
Well, that's at least better than my LG TV. Sometimes it refuses to listen to the off button on the remote. The remote is working fine and the batteries are good, it just won't turn off from that. If I turn it off from the power button - and there is only one button on this TV so that means long pressing the fucker - then I can turn it back on from the remote just fine.
TBF this unit has never been firmware updated, but it's equally fair to point out that this generation of television has received firmware updates that make it even shittier, so it never will be as long as I own it. We had a story here about how LG has leaned into covering every surface with ads.
If prices were more reasonable, then a lot more people would go and you'd make it up on volume, more importantly they would leave with a POSITIVE experience.
They'd also have to kick out phone fuckers and people who won't shut the fuck up ("why did he do that?") and also actually adjust the volume to avoid both distortion and blowing out people's eardrums. The last couple times I went to movies in normal theaters they failed at both things.
Why the fuck am I seeing huge ads on Slashdot now for "bolt.new" and other shite when I paid many years ago to "Disable Advertising"?
Crypto grifters DGAF about keeping promises or the law, and grifters gonna grift.
Yeah, it's still the DOD, but the order about this named it as the DoW so I thought I'd emphasize that. Guess I should have called it out directly.
No one can make session tracking with form variables or URL arguments as reliable as it is with cookies.
That's OK, a user might have to occasionally log in a little more. It's a small price to pay to prevent ubiquitous tracking.
did I hurt someone's feefees? someone with sockpuppets?
That's just the part we know about. We don't know how much cuckocurrency they bought.
The Department of War was responsible for that authorization. The FCC just passed along their rubber stamp. Only the DoW and the DHS can authorize these waivers, the FCC is just a front for them now.
That's ok. I'm sure Google has some competent programmers who could do it.
You're just feeding an obvious troll. Or is it some kind of personal thing? You enjoy pointing out what an idiot the identity is?
Gotta get some kicks somewhere.
So you're looking for a site that presents news from specific curated sources? If you can find any that still do RSS, use a RSS reader
Yeah I know there are metals that would be candidates for that, but the fabrication process will be exotic, to say the least.
It will, but the main limiting factor on solder temperature is component temperature, since the heat travels into the components...
What? Passive cooling (without fans or something) becomes more effective because of high temps (I think that's what you were trying to say)?
That is correct, because delta T is the most important factor in thermal transfer. Thanks for getting it.
If you're so confident that high temps and passive cooling are good for chips and such, take the heatsinks off everything in your computer
Oh fuck, I forgot, you're stupid.
It's also possible that webXray is confusing ad/tracking cookies with cookies required for normal site operation
There is no such thing. Everything done with cookies can be done some other way EXCEPT for tracking, e.g. with hidden form variables or additional arguments in a request.
