"They take much better photos but since there's no option for a cloud backup even if manually triggered, I'm left with finding a local solution that is always going to be more cumbersome."

Wifi SD cards exist and will let you transfer photos from camera to computer.

Tell me one thing you do now that you couldn't do on a 32-bit system.

The Apollo moon lander only had 8-12 bit memory.

If you need a 64-bit system to do what we did on far less in the 70s, well, that's a skill issue.

"Preventing police from having lethal force available isn't a real alternative"

Yes it is and you'd better re-read our constitution to show where it in fact is proscribed as a remedy - that removal of one's life without DUE PROCESS is a violation of the constitution.

So disarm the fuckers until they can show they're worthy enough to hold a gun.

Andrew Ferguson is probably sitting in the Epstein files.

"The issue is that gmail ONLY filters republican political spam"

No it doesn't, I have it filter out ALL political spam.

"Anyone who can't see the blatant hypocrisy is either ignorant, an idiot or is duplicitous."

No, you're just fucking stupid.

As a chronic imgur user from day one, yes imgur will transcode certain formats straight to webp.

"Why the fuck would mileage matter much for the calculations?"

Emitted particulate caused by vehicle degradation over time, more specifically tires, bushings, hoses and wiring, etc.

I drive like a full fucking bat out of hell on some of the hardest mountain desert terrain out there, often with a full load of said mountain both inside and attached to my vehicle (trailer.) I do not go through tires nearly as fast as an EV.

Oh, and most EV drivers do drive like idiots. Bolts, Teslas, i-drives, etc. Almost all of them appear clueless as to even the location of their turn signals.

Bet some of those rankings change

"They don't want to hire you. They want to hire an H1B."

And I'm living this reality right now. 5 years busting my ass off for a company, literally handling the role of both production and quality on the floor, basically right under management in both actual authority and in knowledge of the product, and helped take the company from startup to being attractive enough to get acquired and go corporate. QM retires, I'm expecting to get put in the role. Nope, some guy from India that claims they're ISO-certified (ISO doesn't certify individuals, only businesses and organizations) and knows absolutely nothing about electronics, right down to not being able to identify components on a board, now has the job.

And this person continues to screw up on a daily basis. Rejected/scrapped a bunch of RMA boards - the only thing wrong is a tombstoned resistor or capacitor, literally a two second fix. Each board ranges from $90-250 in value. Several hundred. I can't fix them, now, they're officially scrapped. That's a lot of lost money for our customer and for the company.

This timeline is fucked.

"Microsoft have always maintained a lifecycle list for all it's products, Windows 10 included."

Except Microsoft has itself advertised that Windows 10 was to be the last version of Windows.

Sue the fuck out of them for false advertising.

"I get the impression these kinds of batteries don't scale down well"

Go look at the picture in TFA and note that it is literally 8 individual packs tall and 4 packs wide in a box.

1/8 of this thing could sit in your garage and power your house for a few days flat.

"We quickly mitigated an attempt to exploit a known issue"

If the issue was known why didn't you mitigate it BEFOREHAND so this would not become an issue?

Trillion-dollar company and can't even be bothered to do basic fixes on known problems before rolling something out. What the fuck.

"My boss believes: "if it is not written down, then it is not done""

If you are an ISO 9001 certified establishment, that's literally the belief of the certification body.

"Look at Gmail. Never been mass hacked"

Nah they just allow relay attacks, which is far worse.
