Because that doesn't allow you to be nearly as petty and petulant towards your even-more-petty-and-petulant global rival.

Yes, because suddenly everyone in the mineral extraction industry started listening to Greenpeace all of a sudden, but only on this one sector of minerals.

Or, and just hear me out for a second: the minerals that could be bought from China were cheaper than the minerals we were extracting and refining here in the US, and economics made the decision like it always does.

Which is more likely?

Moron.

It's very easy to not have NIMBYs and not have lawsuits when nobody in your country has any rights as far as the government is concerned.

Yes, China can move fast on things. That isn't necessarily a good thing.

A good media player has a setting for you to adjust audio latency for this.

Even some set top boxes have a calibration routine that allows you to adjust it. See: the 6-year old Nvidia Shield (2019)

Also, the hyperbole of "breaking inboxes" by sending a few hundred emails - what is this, 1993?

I'm sure their email server is more than capable of dealing with a few hundred thousand emails per day, and these assholes are just having a whinge that they someone made it easier to give electeds feedback about their stupid draconian crap that they justify "for the children" which may not even be technically feasible.

Sure. When you find something on this planet that is still in it's "natural state" after 200 years of human industrialization, let us know.

How many vehicles do you need at 100% for your emergency edge case?

In no way is it reasonable to have some asshole you've never heard of make a decision to cause hardware you bought and paid for stop working because they aren't interested in maintaining their service offering any more.

Anyone looking far enough to the horizon knows that if you start selling a product like this, you have to keep the service on until the last one leaves the world, or someone decides it's not worth maintaining any more and perfectly working hardware goes to the landfill.

Fuck Logitech for not making a final release opening the API so people can continue to use this perfectly good hardware with other frameworks, such as Home Assistant.

Or don't use scheduled charging, and then it's not a problem unless you don't plug it in?

WHAT A HARD SOLUTION.

So don't turn on scheduled charging, and then it charges the instant you plug it in.

You really love to make mountains out of mole hills.

... and service calls are an absolute bitch. They would either need to launch it with every spare they would ever need and the ability to recover from hardware failure with zero touch, or they're going to have >$100m servicing missions to replace hard drives and fans and shit.

It's fantastically stupid.

Bezos is trying to create a new reason for his many-days-late and many-dollars-short launch system now that a competitor already is operating a much more functional LEO satellite network without his help.

This is what is known in the startup space as a "pivot" when you realize the target market you had in mind is already being serviced by someone doing it better than you can - you try to justify the enormous expense you've already sunk into creating a solution to an already solved problem.

Gee, why do you think they're trying to eliminate the Corporation for Public Broadcasting from the federal budget?

You don't think that NPR's continued reporting of easily observable reality, especially when it doesn't mesh with what the administration is saying, might be related?

Reductio ad absurdum.

Literally nobody except you has claimed that.

This is what happens when the overton window shift so far in such a short amount of time - organizations that stay exactly where they are appear to move left, because the window has shifted so far rightward.
