In most cases it isn't economically feasible to build and maintain the tower for just one carrier. Existing tower owners will be more than willing to host one more.

Original monopolies who laid the lines are long gone, and trying to figure out which reincarnation of the regional ma bell company actually owns it could be tricky. Very good bet those records are in some forgotten warehouse somewhere and won't be cheap to figure out and there could even be lawsuits with multiple companies claiming ownership.

I use Google maps to navigate and it'll tell me to make illegal turns and U-turns constantly. Many of them are time and/or day of the week restricted turns. Like for certain busy hours and only being legal on weekends.

Todd Howard has mentioned in an interview that basically everyone who's on the technical side of game development watches DF videos. They'll spotlight games that are doing wonderful things on the technical side that might not have been heralded in the past since those excellent technical efforts could have been wasted on mediocre and low selling games.

They make $200k from their Patreon supporters only. There's no way they can have 5 full time employees just on $200k. Other revenues are from Youtube and various sponsorship content they produce.

This could be illegal in certain US states. In some states, all parties involved in the recording have to give consent. Just because you gave them consent a week ago doesn't mean Nintendo has the right to record them without new consent in the future.

I can picture agents posting on social media with predetermined code words to communicate. Even liking certain combination of posts could also be a signal.

Are costs and not performance for larger screens. Keep in mind that this is a newer tech that will not be price competitive with OLEDs in smaller screens but could quickly dominate OLEDs in larger screens in 80" plus sizes.

It ran fine on my 486 SX

One thing that might derail this is if Western countries put up tariffs on China, which is the leading producer of synthetic diamonds and is driving down prices.

Most of the people moving away from California are ending up in red states. Giving those states more representation in the House and making it even more difficult for Democratic presidential candidates.

This is why I don't allow any financial apps to automatically log in and even save the username of the account. Thinking about this made me realize that someone can order their overpriced products on the Amazon app and order it without any additional authentication as long as the phone is unlocked.

There's a huge difference in how the games run on Xbox console compared to PCs. As fixed hardware specs allow developers to optimize their games for that specific hardware. Even doing some low level optimizations that won't be done for PCs. It's clear to see when you build a PC with comparable hardware as consoles. You'll need a higher level PC build just to match the consoles. This is why I recommend people who don't have or need high end PCs just to get the consoles.

There's no way the Senate will ratify this treaty while Biden is in office. Trump could revisit later when he wants brownie points from his authoritarian buddies.

Some things are too important to leave to free markets. Electricity, water, communications, roads, etc.
