You are gatekeeping. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. (or the ear, in the above case...)

Calibre is good. Change file formats, manage libraries, move documents between devices, etc. ... it works.

All dictators know that they rule only so long as the military backs them. We must increase military spending to reward the loyal service of our military...

Most TVs are made with panels sourced from the same couple of vendors. Most TVs run the same "smart-TV" OS's, licensed from the same couple of vendors.

The couple of companies that make the panels can innovate and hold a premium space by releasing their new tech exclusively on their own branded TVs and sell last year's technology to the commodity manufacturers.

Unless you are one of the panel manufacturers, you are selling the same TV as everyone else, just mixing and matching panel + OS + branding.

It's cool that we can do things like this -it is a great technical demonstration. I still don't want to buy it.

Ken Paxton is running for US Senate in 2026.

He desperately wants Texans to forget that he was impeached by his own party members on 20 counts of public corruption, bribery, abuse of power, obstruction of justice, and abuse of the public trust.

Everything he is doing is to grab headlines and distract voters.

This vertical format is just to make it easier for the zombies to watch on their cell-phones. Now just make things under a minute long.

Knowing your audience = profit.

You can't prove a negative...

Oddly enough, it does work. I expected something that could do a partial recharge if left in direct sunlight all day... but it picks up a significant amount of charge in just a couple hours on my desk at work getting sunlight thru the window (thru glass).

That is nothing compared to the rate it charges when plugged in to a real charger, but it is significant.

Agreed.

I bought one with a solar panel on one side, wireless charging on the other, USB-A & USB-C on one end, and flashlight on the other end. It has a few LEDs to indicate charge level. It has a built-in rubber case for durability, and rubber plugs on the ports for water-resistance. It is slightly larger than my phone. It came with a keyring/carabiner attachment, and short (~3") USB-A and USB-C cables.

It can fast-charge my phone multiple times per-charge, has flashlight modes, charges quickly via USB-C and in a few hours via solar.

It is useful as-is. It doesn't need to do more.

Ask me in a few years how well the battery holds up.. so far so good.

There are real policy changes to be outraged over. This is not it. This is middling rewording on a website.

I am using a Logitech keyboard and mouse right now. You don't have to install any special software to use them. They work just fine as a generic keyboard and mouse.

Their software is only required if you want to use custom special functions (programmable keyboard shortcuts). Everything else just works normally under Windows and Linux.

I just don't have a need for the volume-packaging that they sell.

That ... is not a profitable use of an automated taxi.

Taxis make money by carrying passengers from point A to point B, not by sitting idle.

because YOU VOTED against spending the money to do it.
