I'm not commenting on the quality of the cars simply the conflict of interest.
What conflict of interest? DCar Studio has money and wants advertising, the influencer wants money and can provide advertising. I see an alignment of interests, not a conflict.
Half of the human population doesn't think either, they just echo their favorite chamber.
I continue to use burned DVDs for backing up the critical stuff. Not perfect, of course, but not electromechanically-failure prone like a hard disk drive, not "terms of service" failure prone like cloud storage, and not "the charge magically held in the gate leaked away" failure prone. I have optical discs over 25 years old which are still perfectly readable.
DVD-R? DVD+R? DVD+RW? Single or dual layer? Gold metallic layer? Silver metallic layer? How are they stored?
Depending on how you answer those questions, your 25 year-old media may be past due and you've just gotten lucky, may be just entering the timeframe where it may die, or may have decades of reliable life left.
DVD-R single layer disks with a gold metallic layer are good for 50-100 years. Other recordable DVD options are less durable, some as little as 5-10 years.
Are there any completely non-toxic pesticides?
Glyphosate (plants are also pests).
Why doesn't Nvidia make more specific chips to compete with Google on such server farms? They have the cash.
As long as some little bitch keeps modding down my factual posts
I'll stick with them, as long as they aren't that iPhone17 orange abomination.
I'm with you on this one....WTF was up with that orange color???
That AND...no Space Grey or Black?!?!
That's pretty much one of the only things keeping me from upgrading my 12 pro max to the 17 pro max.
I'm hoping in a few months maybe they'll offer better colors....?
I tend to buy top of the line loaded ones....I'm currently on the iPHone 12 Max Pro...loaded storage available at the time...I think 1 TB?
Before that I had the iPhone 6 Plus (did they have a pro?)....and IPhone 3GS before that....
Right now, not seriously in the market....my phone still had plenty of space on it, runs as fast as I need, I don't see any speed or battery degradation on it yet.
I will admit I'm looking at the 17's camera and ability to shoot RAW video...that is starting to tempt me.
I guess my phones are not well over $1K, I generally just put it on Apple Pay, get my 3% cash back and pay it off interest free over 12 months.
I have the cash, but figure why not use "free money" if given the opportunity, eh? I keep may cash for it in an interest bearing account or invested, etc...
I frankly don't give a fuck what anyone thinks of my phone, if they think anything at all.
As I'd written earlier, I think in the US, phones are such a commodity, no one looks at them as any sort of status symbol and hasn't for a long time now...
In fact you HAVE to use external storage if you want to shoot video in RAW format.....
HTH.
Really? I would expect the opposite.
- Owners of flagship devices concerned with their image and having the latest tech would be more likely to replace devices more often to get access to the latest gear, perhaps handing the old device down to a spouse or child if they aren't getting a trade-in credi
I can't speak for places outside the US, but here....the cell phone has become some a commodity that no one here really uses or sees any of the phones as a "status symbol"....
No one pays attention to what phone you have....at least not in most of the US.
They are sometimes wrong, conspiracy nuts are usually wrong.
Why is the word "all" there? If "both" is already in the sentence, it's superfluous.
Brain-damaged people vote for rich blowhards, magnifying the cycle.
