Even if there were good reasons to use DST, it should be smeared similarly over let's say a month or so. However, there are no good reasons and although the majority of EU decided to abandon it, there was a couple of South-European countries not supporting it, so we couldn't get rid of it. It was also drowned out in the Wuhan flu epidemic, later known as Covid-19 due to the extreme lobbying by the CPP to shift the blame away from China even though the truth eventually surfaced, and things they campaigned on our media as disinformation turned out to be the actual truth.

I wish we'd finally end the dependency on legacy time keeping and just standardize on seconds for everything. We can use standard SI scale multipliers and if we want some fixed reference, we could use what our computers use, the Unix Epoch signifying the dawn of a new era counting from 1970-01-01 00:00:00.000 UTC onwards. In terms of formatting it compactly, I'd recommend base36 as the biggest standard base using just case-insensitive standard characters of 0-9a-z. My demo of it is here: https://sorsacode.com/base36cl...

Not sure what they are trying to achieve in the lawsuit, TBH. They've already fixed the model, so their prayer for relief can't be that. Damages? Doubt, given that it took some major backflips for NY to create the duplicates, and they were likely the only such dups... unless something turns up in discovery, I guess.

Perhaps there will still be a "Year of Linux on the desktop", once the desktop metaphor stops having any relevance. Apple probably goes for AR stuff in the long run. No idea whether Microsoft will be relevant as an OS vendor in the long run.

... they never think of laying off the management team and the board members.

Nothing new. Phages were fairly common in USSR and preferred over antibiotics for those very reasons.

You're not wrong. Although you'll typically see at least one thread become CPU bound in many games, especially simulations. That's why it's good to have high single thread.

Most gamers would do best with a PC that has the highest single thread performance.

US-wide, most of the problem with housing is supply-related. And a good chunk of that supply problem is from various NIMBY zoning issues that prevent needed high density housing from being built. While this problem is pronounced in CA, it exists practically everywhere in the US.

Just get a wireless adapter, they're cheap and just plug one end to the USB end and it'll present as a wireless Carplay unit simply proxying the connection.

The last iPhone design that had a fingerprint reader was the iPhone 7, if 8 and the SE models don't count. iPhone X that was released alongside the legacy form iPhone 8 replaced the fingerprint reader with a face scanner called FaceID. The only models you could get TouchID (fingerprint readers) on were iPads and iPhone SE models that still use the iPhone 7/8 design.

Because the 1st gen iPhone SE is externally like the iPhone 5 and internally like the 6s. It's two generations older hardware than the iPhone 8.

So do I, and an old Mini too, but those are over 10 years old machines that aren't supported by even Windows anymore.

There's a standard for how much it has to be modified, but yes, if you provide a significant creative addition to a public domain work, it is copyrighted. This is how orchestras that play old (out of copyright) scores get copyright to their renditions. If you copyright the midjourney image and (hypothetically later) there is some legal dispute, you won't like the resolution there, as the damages will be considered willfully inflicted on the other party. I think this largely moot, personally (because of the number of people who will modify works to make them legally derivative, people aren't going to go looking for stuff that should be free much, but that's just a guess).

It's always one conspiracy theory after another with you people

You're not wrong about the damages, but this is somewhat on the back foot due to the libel per se (assuming it is such in the jurisdictions, I did not check). I agree with your other comments entirely, tho, and I don't even see how it could really carry as a libel per se cases due to the larger issues.
