EXACTLY what I came here to post. We've got 2 choices in my neighborhood: "Bob's Cable Service" (Suddenlink) and AT&T. The local neighborhood web board is constantly complaining about Suddenlink's service outages. AT&T is reliable but throughput is 20 Mbs. Where is fibrechannel? I'd even take something like cable's speed of 200 Mbs.

The Apollo 18 Saturn V is at Johnson Space Center in Houston, Bruce. I played on that thing when I was kid. In conjunction with the Smithsonian, it was restored back in 2007 and a building was built around it to protect it from the elements. It's quite a sight to behold!

Note, the max speed limit in Texas is currently 85 MPH. That's 27 MPH more.

Regardless, it should be the DRIVERS DECISION, not the manufacture. Matters not to me; I'll refrain from purchasing a Volvo for my next vehicle.

My '63 Imperial has "Auto Pilot" (Chrysler's name, not mine). It can run in 2 modes. Turn the dial to the speed you want to go and hit the center start button. Or, you can set the dial to the max speed you want to go. The gas pedal gets very hard at that point indicating you've reached that limit.

This goes way back further than that. My dad's 1975 F-150 had a dash light that would illuminate when you were "wasteful" of fuel. It ran of a vacuum port of the carburetor.

China didn't start out with multiple vendors to provide the hardware. They grew it over time.

Manufacturing in the US is sustainable and it doesn't have be for slave wages either. It takes automation and time to ramp up suppliers. But, this can't happen over night. Apple knows that. And those screws? They can get the material from China overnight. The connections are still there. Apple just doesn't know them because they lost connection with their own supply chain.

First thought that came to me as well when reading the headline.

Let's stop with the glued in batteries and make cell phones that can have their batteries replaced without resorting to a lab. And, allow the latest version on Android to be flashed without a lot of hurtles? Let the consumer decided if performance is at a point where the phone needs to be replaced.

Oh yeah, they want me to spend $1000 or more on a new phone every 18 months.

Yay! they have Ernest Movies! I can't wait!

2 factor hardware authentication would solve this, frankly.

I see your point. You've got some great content!

How do you find the good geek stuff and skip the fluff?

I must not be good at searching for content on YT. I even support people via Patreon for good stuff.

Let's start a thread of alternate GOOD free resources for the alternatives...

Got any?

Explorer I was the first successful US satellite launched on Jan. 31, 1958. It burned up in the atmosphere on March 30, 1970.

Thanks for the tip! Looks like only one phone on the Android One program is targeted for the US marked (Nokia 7.1 available at the end of this month).

Jody,
Thanks for the link to "the rest of the story". Very powerful and moving.
