I am seeing more people using their phones as their primary, if not only, computer device. If it's not a phone, it's probably a tablet, or maybe a laptop.

If it's Boeing, I ain't going.

There is no inherent value. Just 1s and 0s on computer storage somewhere. Of course you are gambling when you "invest" in crypto. Ponzi schemes always fail eventually.

If demand to drive a gas guzzling truck or SUV, is it fair to blame the car company, or the fuel company?
That is like blaming the beef companies for the earth destroying and inhumane steak that you decide to eat.

Amazon used to be great about taking returns, but not anymore.
I bought an Amazon Fire tablet for $90. It stopped working soon after I bought it. I tried to return it for a new one, but Amazon said they could only give me a refund. To buy a new one would cost $140. But I should not have to pay an extra $50 because Amazon sold me a defective item. Eventually, after months of going back and forth, Amazon gave me a $50 gift certificate.
I will be much less likely to do business with Amazon in the future.

Clearly the UK will not give Assange freedom to express himself. Why does the UK demand that of the US?

How Julian Assange be charged with mishandling classified information? It was never his responsibility to handle such information.

People like Joe Biden, and Hillary Clinton, had the responsibility to correctly handle classified information. If a senator, or vice president, or secretary of state mishandled classified information, *that* would be serious crime.

MATE is awesome desktop. Much better than MacOS or Windows.
It is customisable. It does not have a lot of silly useless crap that only gets in the way. Everything is easy to find. MATE developers do not seem to believe in change for the sake of change.

Again: JMHO.

It is my understanding that starlink is not nearly as fast as standard internet. Starlink is only for cases when there is no other option.

Tell some telemarketer to put you on their "do not call" list, and then they call the next day. What are you going to do about it?

It's like telling migrants that it's illegal to cross the border.

The whole idea of containerized freight is: the entire trailer can be easily moved from truck, to train, to ship - you never have to even open the trailer.

If you are going to put the battery in the trailer, that would kill the whole idea. You might either have to unload the trailer, or ship the heavy expensive battery for hundreds or thousands of miles.

Anybody else notice that every few weeks there is some new miracle battery that is going to change everything?
