+1 for "Forget the Alamo".

In Texas public schools, 7th grade includes a Texas history class. It's the definition of the winners getting to write history. As one example, the class teaches that the revolution was a reaction to authoritarian rule by Santa Anna. They leave out all the parts where Mexico had made slavery illegal and wanted to enforce that in Texas, while the Texians just want to keep their slaves because that was the only way most of their farming enterprises would be economically feasible. Texians raged against the Mexicans taking their "property", aka slaves. After the revolution, their new constitution enshrined the institution of slavery. This is yet another reason current Texans and southerners in general want schools to teach their whitwashed versions of history, not the real thing.

You are free to have your opinion about your preferences, but are you aware that different people prefer different flavors of all sorts of foods, right? Have you ever been to a grocery store? Did you wonder why there are so many different flavors of every product there?

WAG that this person is talking about Base Metabolic Rate". The more someone weighs, whether it's from fat or muscle, the higher the amount of calories that are used for basic bodily functions like breathing, blood circulation, temperature regulation, etc.

The other side of that is when you lose weight, your BMR goes down. At some point, to keep losing weight, you have to keep lowering your caloric intake.

For the PS3, physical media is probably still a good plan. For current and current-1 gen systems, even that doesn't work very well. At this point, loading the game from a disc seems to do 1 of 2 things.

1. Load the GA version that's on the disc. The first time you go to play it, the version gets checked, it's determined that you are 286758 versions behind, and you can't play until 10Gb of updates are downloaded.

2. The disc only holds a stub that triggers downloading the current version from the vendor.

Except the coins aren't stored on the wallet, only the keys. The coins are on the blockchain and access to the keys gives the ability to transact using the wallets defined by the keys. Destroy the wallet and someone can just buy a new one and regenerate the keys, assuming they saved the seed used to generate them.

24 years, the first version came out in 1997. 1999 and GTA 2 would probably be a better starting point.

I'm sure that guy can also show the statistics with spikes in carjacking when new versions come out, right? Why do I think that if we graph the car jackings over time, they go up when the economy is down, not when a new GTA gets released?

Can we please stop with the played out story of people buying GPUs to mine bitcoin?

Mining bitcoin with a GPU hasn't been viable for years, the first mining ASICs came out in 2013 and have been improving ever since. Someone could run mining software on their GPU, but it's unlikely they would ever actually solve a block if they are solo mining. If they're mining in a pool, any share they would earn is going to be minuscule because their hash rate as a percentage of the pool will be approaching zero.

but there is this.

Similar settings for camera, microphone, location as well.

I fixed this a long time ago in FF.

Is this the replacement for the APK hosts file spam?

Not sure how stock Android works, but in LineageOS 14.1, which is built off android 7.1, in the volume settings there is a on/off toggle:

According to the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a vehicle manufacturer cannot void the warranty of your vehicle due to an aftermarket part unless they can prove that the aftermarket part was the cause of or contributed to the failure of the vehicle. They CAN void the warranty of modified parts, which could get sticky if the firmware is modified and is in control of the entire car. It's still on the manufacturer to prove that though.

I haven't seen any other posts by someone that has ever managed a mainframe or storage rack with a capacity on demand feature. The box comes with all the cpu/mem/cache/disk that it can possibly hold. The resources are then enabled with license keys. Seems like the exact same thing Tesla is doing.

The basic premise of capitalism is that that those with capital are above and in control of laborers. The more money you have, the more important you are in capitalism.

Under the current system, that's not true. A person HAS to trade their work with someone if they want cool stuff like food, a place to live, and clothes. There's more flexibility in a capitalist system then say feudalism, but that doesn't mean there isn't room for more improvement. If you are living paycheck to paycheck, you are much less likely to tell (one of) your abusive employer(s) to piss off. UBI would give more people more employment mobility.

Are you one of those "'murka, love it leave it types" too? You don't seem to get the idea that it's possible to change something that you are a part of instead of putting everything and everyone into an us/them or black/white bucket.

Did you bother reading the summary? The part where the guy "quit the company in 2018 after months of internal campaigning to get clarity about plans to deploy a censored version of its search engine in China called Project Dragonfly." That sounds like more than a peep.

So the DEA will be there to assist in identification of law enforcement officers that attack peaceful protesters, members of the media, and other non-violent observers?
