This is actually a topic in Asimov's Foundation sequels. There's a galactic-standard hour, day, and year, and every plant maps their rotational and revolutional patterns to that. A main plot point was trying to find THE planet that had true 24 hour days and 364.25 day years, since that might have been the birthplace of humanity.
I use Brave too and am frustrated by that... I put an extension that exports my history periodically, so at least I'll still have it. History Trends Unlimited.
I wish they could make it a configurable option to turn off the trunctation.
While we're fixing history problems with Chrome, why not make it stop truncating history at 90 days. Many things in life happen on a yearly cycle. It would be great to be able to see things I was looking at a year ago (holiday gifts, items for a class I'm planning, etc.) as I'm looking for things this year. What a stupid policy.
If you don't understand the math behind unsecured debt, you shouldn't call yourself a nerd.
The key bit of financial ignorance here is not understanding that credit cards are unsecured loans.
Other forms of credit have lower interest rates because the risk of default is mitigated by the ability to seize and sell an asset used to guarantee.
Being unable to pay your bills on time (or at all) increases how much you pay for all forms of credit.
Been there and done that. The spouse was once saddled with an EV as a rental because all the regular cars were already taken.
The experience was so horrible that there is zero chance of us ever getting an EV.
You can probably find the space to hang a 85" TV even if you have an apartment the size of a shoe box.
I just threw one of my Roku devices in the trash. It looks like Apple TV is the only one that doesn't enshittify too much and I just ordered one. But they don't play from local media servers (DLNA) natively, so you need an app.
I feel guilty for the people I recommended use a Roku over the years. They used to be a pretty good product. At least Apple isn't likely to be purchased by a predatory private equity firm.
I've been a Firefox user for decades. But I'm tried of their updates breaking things and taking away functionality. I'm updating, but to Brave. Goodbye Firefox.
DEI is just Jim Crow turned around so that the perpetrator switches place with the victim.
Nuclear can generate power reliably regardless of the weather or time of day. Nuclear or coal will be picking up the slack when the sun isn't out.
Solar panels also degrade in high heat like any other type of electronics.
Same here. I only play table-top and boardgames online with friends (e.g. Lords of Waterdeep, Dune Imperium, Ticket To Ride) rather than low-latency higher action games. But even with these, if they manage to run on a default Steam install on Linux, they run really slowly and often have odd glitches.
So I dual boot. It's the only thing I use Windows for.
As a computer, I find your faith in technology amusing.
