Allowing Russia to pull Ukraine back into it's orbit in exchange for cheap and reliable energy while avoiding nuclear war seems like a perfectly reasonable and prudent thing to do unless you're a military contractor riding the gravy train of tax money. This entire crisis has been intentionally manufactured by the US for strategic purposes from the very start and any noble sounding talk about Ukrainian freedom is just a fairy tail for the plebs.

You make some goods points but pricing people out of driving in London is just part of the status quo.

https://videocardz.com/press-r... Cinebench just did.

I think Cinebench only just released an Apple Silicon compatible version it's benchmark for macOS. Also I think the point of Geekbench is to test the CPU on it's own without testing the cooling ability of the computer. I think both approaches give a different picture and that both are useful. Either way we'll start seeing cinebench results soon.

I think that day is quite a long way out. Living standards in China have been improving dramatically for the last 30 years. Also in my opinion China has quite a nationalistic society and they're definitely playing the long game in order to take the stage so to speak. Combine that with the behavioural controls the government has created and I think things would have to get pretty darn bad internally in order for any kind of revolt to be possible. In Romania for example it took over a decade of decreasing living standards for a revolt to happen. Even if you assume that development in the big Chinese cities has peaked (which I don't believe to be true), there is still a large part of the country that is on the upwards part of the development curve.

Just to play devils advocate here do you think users really want to be able to install apps from outside the App Store? Most of the calls for this functionality seem to come from developers. And developers as a whole don't have a great track record when it comes to respecting users. If Apple gives both users and devs totally free reign on iOS I think we'll end up like back in the dark days of normal users having their devices full of crapware and malware that they can't get rid of. So I think there is some kind of balance to be struck.

They also make spectacle lenses.

I don't think airlines care about wifi and bluetooth, I mean I've never heard them ask people to make sure they keep their wifi off when everyone has a laptop.

The second ones say up to 30 hours of battery. The first are 22 I think.

Don't think so. I have over-ear ones.

Why rent one for a fee when I've already got one? You see it's quite small and fits in my pocket. I mean why bring clothing when I can just rent new clothes for a small fee...

Disembark is a perfectly good word though. I'm not sure why that didn't come to mind straight away.

It's not just your language anymore so grow and deal with it.

Deplaning is removing the plane from the passengers? Depopulating a plane sounds a bit grim.

Wifi and bluetooth can be turned on while in airplane mode. This is also useful while roaming. Also you can get bluetooth headphones that last for 20+ hours now.

I have a set of bluetooth Sennheiser headphones. The battery life is over 20 hours. The noise cancelation on them is nice too. I got them specifically to do as you do.
