My latest vaccine shots had the 6G upgrade, to take advantage of the higher-speed web access when the networks upgrade, but if they're selling those frequencies to high-power carriers, then I won't be able to walk into any area that handles AT&T or Verizon. :P

Seriously, this will totally wreck the 6G/WiFi6 specification, utterly ruin the planned 7G/WiFi7 update, and cause no end of problems to those already using WiFi6 equipment - basically, people with working gear may well find their hardware simply no longer operates, which is really NOT what no vendor or customer wants to hear. Vendors with existing gear will need to do a recall, which won't be popular, and the replacement products simply aren't going to do even a fraction as well as the customers were promised - which, again, won't go down well. And it won't be the politicians who get the blame, despite it being the politicians who are at fault.

Professors of marketing and management are not intellectuals. They are ultimately shills for the commercial world, as we see here. Their biggest concern is to shift more widgets.

The tax was passed in 2024 and Canada wants to collect it retroactive to 2022. If there's one kind of tax I don't like it's a retroactive tax.

Mr. Zuckerberg, tariffs don't raise prices unless you insist on buying from overseas. Buy American. Then there is no tariff.

Every revoked immigrant work permit frees up a job for an American. It also very likely increases quality and reduces cost because Americans make higher quality products instead of cheap crap. We also have a superior work ethic.

And for the record, we've lost patience with your constant harping about technology labor shortages while you torment "working class families" with promises to destroy their jobs with AI.

The reason wages have been stagnant for 52 years is because of people like you. The people are fixing it, and we're going to fix it whether you like it or not.

This all sounded great until the word "catheter"!

then I crossed my legs, and knocked my computer on the floor.

Agreed. I'd be happier if they instead updated Google Earth Pro for Desktop to natively support ARM64 CPUs like the Apple M series.

If they're concerned with that, they should *avoid* Microsoft, unless they are going to keep an old machine with each version forever.

Historically, staroffice/libreoffice/openoffice has done a *better* job than ms of reading prior versions of ms documents.

but you're not removing that interest--you'er just changing who pays for it.

"public finance" isn't free, nor does it mean that the money doesn't get borrowed. Rather, the net increase in public debt is the amount paid out by the government.

STEM didn't even last two generations.

Too bad. So sad. No job for Bob.

Anyone with an IQ over 60 moved on 20 years ago.

I just submitted bug report FB18359754 for this.

>On 6/24/25, wallet pushed a notification for movie tickets. This is in error because both:
>1) wallet does not have permission for such notifications, and
>2) this should have been blocked by the privacy system.

Those "can'ts" you listed are easily solvable at scale; if there's demand then optical adapters can be amazingly cheap to produce. Without demand they are expensive.

>Public financing or 1% loans will almost entirely cut that cost.

no, that doesn't change the cost *at all*.

It simply changes who pays that cost. It may or may not make sense for the public to pay it, but it still gets paid.

I use a Canon 6d, which does not natively provide focus peaking. I also have no interest in mirrorless cameras, as I prefer looking through glass to looking through an EVF.

I like it for focus peaking, esp. for my manual Samyang 8mm f3.5. And back when I had the 400d, ML gave me a spot-meter.

actually, running them on bus routes at bus prices might be a practical options.

Run a half dozen of these at five minute intervals rather than a bus every half hour and mass transit suddenly becomes more practical and attractive.

One key question is how many you can run for the cost of one bus.

The long intervals are a major factor in making bus travel practical in all but the densest cities in the US.

So is the inability to automatically electrocute disruptive morons, but that's for another topic.
