Me neither, I just knew they only did it for a moment and it was easy to look up. Why not put the information into the comment?
Some Minidisc players had that functionality way back in the day. I'm surprised it didn't die there.
Well, this is a bigger jump than they have been making, so perhaps it will last longer. Nobody expects it to keep forever, but they've been failing pretty badly. Besides, as long as the spec of cables most people buy remains cheap, and most people will not need these cables for years anyway, there is no reason why the fancy new ones need to also be that cheap.
I am tired of too many "geeks" thinking that the only information in a "document" is the text. Text is important, but so is formatting.
Math and science geeks know this, and that's why we use proper formatting tools such as LaTeX, not a glorified Paint.
Steam.
HDMI has been doing a shit job of kicking the can which is why we have so many sub-versions. They absolutely should make a big jump forwards for a change, because they have been creating way too many versions of HDMI and that is already leading to customer confusion.
Not all jobs need degrees to make good money
This becomes less true as unemployment goes up, because there are more applicants for each job, and the person reviewing the applications gets more desperate for a way to cut down the number they have to review.
How is there "no real viable way we could afford that in the US" when other countries can afford it? Very clearly it's affordable given the number of countries currently using such systems.
Don't many of these socialized medicine countries also have tax rates for most people WELL north of 50%?
That's gonna be a key sticking point in the US, no one here will tolerate their taxes going up that much for the Feds....and don't forget that would be in addition to state and local taxes.
I'm quite happy with my insurance coverage and medical coverage I have....I recently had surgery, and it was done in a timely manner, and even my ER return for a PE that was a post surgical problem..was caught and treated. It didn't cost me that much outta pocket....and I was happy to have had the treatment and life saving care.
Granted, anecdotal story by one....but still, I've not experienced the nightmares others seem to be pushing as the common US narrative
Willfully uninformed.
Willfully not consuming low-effort AI bullshit
"Trump's nomination for Surgeon General, Casey Means (who RFK Jr. recommended), is the co-founder and owner of Levels, a company that makes wearable glucose monitors... Her Brother, Calley Means, is a top aid to RKF Jr. and runs True Med, a "wellness" startup which stands to make billions off (you guessed it) wearable technology being more accessible..."
"Cars have never been built to last."
Not as a general rule no, but Mercedes cars of the seventies and eighties were. They stopped making them like that in the nineties, though.
Japanese cars of the nineties, with some notable exceptions which were in the minority, were designed to be easy to service. Alas, that also stopped.
You could probably get a custom aluminum radiator made for less than the typical stealership retail cost of the radiator still in production that the chucklefuck dealer tried to modify.
This type of supply chain breakage is why I think we have already passed peak automobile lifetime (cars built 1990-2010): in the future when critical parts fail there won't be any spares, and unless one is willing to take on 10s of thousands of dollars of firmware modding no workarounds either. I would not expect cars sold after 2010 to have lifetimes of more than 10 years or so.
Everything RFK Jr does is related in some way to his network of scam companies making money. Trying to figure out how this seeming nonsense fits into that MO.
I once heard someone say that the homeless in Cali sometimes do actually have credit card readers.
Not saying it isn't happening but I haven't seen this yet, but I do know for certain that a lot of homeless people have cash app, and a few have venmo. They certainly could have readers, as square still gives the first one free, but I doubt it would get them any significant amount more money than using payment apps.
I presume most free phones don't do NFC either, but I haven't tried to find out. Maybe next time I walk past a free phone ez-up I'll ask, but they probably won't know anyway.
You know, the irony is that I'm less worried about the tracking portion than the fact companies will use it to jack up insurance rates on people... or try to track whether or not women are pregnant in Gilead states.
You're less worried about the tracking than the tracking?
Any circuit design must contain at least one part which is obsolete, two parts which are unobtainable, and three parts which are still under development.
