Been trying to do that with my fire 8 for years.

It's been passed around to a couple of gurus, still a fire 8.

A friend gave me a 2024 fire 10. Gave it back to her for donation somewhere else. Won't see my sd card with my 80G library again. For the third time in 5 months

Pulled the sd card and it will go in the jar with the rest until I buy an android tablet I can root. Later this month.

Both kindles are headed for Goodwill.

I obviously won't miss them.

Man, people are still trying to hawk Lightning because they crippled bitcoin with the 1MB blocksize cap?

Hahahahaha.

By controlling and interrogating the quantum spin state of this crystal defect, researchers have been able to demonstrate field detectivity down to nT/Hz1/2 on length scales of a few tens of nanometers.

So only have to improve it by 14 orders of magnitude.

So well after Russia invaded Ukraine.

You're missing the point of the AP, and it's actual composition. I worked at a daily newspaper most of my way through undergrad and knew the ins and outs of the AP better than most.

The main use of the AP was to get international news to outlets who couldn't afford to place staff in places further away from their own location. A great example is any international war, though even big national events (9/11 being a great example) are also places where AP stories are valuable.

The AP carries very little editorial content. Yes there are a few editorial writers who publish there but the volume from them is minimal compared to the objective news reporting. Some people like to claim otherwise but that is from those who aren't actually looking at the body of work on ap.org.

Unfortunately the newspaper model is indeed dying. Many of us are lamenting it and we're not sure what solution could bring it back. Printed news was supported by advertising, both display ads and classified ads. In the 90s your local daily paper likely had 4-8 pages of classified ads, every day. Now the majority of that is on craigslist or facebook. On Sundays your paper had full color printed advertising inserts from over a dozen retailers; many of those retails have since gone out of business and many of the ones who remain don't advertise that way anymore. Online subscriptions can offset a small part of this, but only a small part. Online advertisements are blocked by most readers' browsers, so that isn't productive for newspapers in many cases either.

The tabloid and editorial "journalism" you refer to is successful because it does a better job of selling crap to its audience. Don't confuse it with the professionals at the AP.

Mx25 Infinity on my 2008 hp G62 laptop. (Whoops, using xfce with gnome fork). Acting as a kodi server.

antiX26 on my i7 laptop. zzzICE wm. Daily driver.

PIOS on my pi3b. Xfce, jellyfin server.

All idle at less than 800mb. The jellyfin server doesn't have to do transcoding, serves up three streams at a time.

The kodi box is also the backup dev box, but with 8G of ram, I've never seen it at 50 percent.

The i7 is new as of 2 months ago. It's just shit fast compared to my usual. I'm still trying to catch up.

All of these Debian OS derivatives/compatibles I have run successfully and usefully from a 4G thumb drive.

I also ran Mx23.1 (wildflower) on the pi3b for about 8 months. Used it as my first kodi server. Functioned adequately if not spectacularly, and this is on 1G.

All run firefox as the default I believe.

Low memory options are out there and fun to use.

Private enterprises are not productive enterprises; it is a necessary cost of society. Private enterprises do not build anything and possesses no means to do so. People do so, and so private enterprise must pay people for what they need.

That's the point, they want to rent you access to a computer too

would shop through ChatGPT

But banning digital tags wont change that.

What if they go slap a new paper tag on the shelf while you're doing that?

Yep.

Scanning down the comments -

Nope. They missed it.

A couple things to consider on that:

• Once again the percentage of eligible voters who bothered to vote at all in the presidential election was small
• As in the other elections where Trump ran, many people were casting votes against someone as much as they were casting them for someone. In 2016 Trump won largely because of the avalanche of anti-Clinton sentiment that came from Republican regulars who very much did not agree with his platform. In 2020 Biden won in no small part in response to the disaster that Trump created in his first term. Then in 2024 the quick switch that the democrats pulled to change their endorsed candidate caused a large number of otherwise reliable democrats to not bother showing up at all.

  I would much rather go nearly anywhere in Europe.

  If we were to go back to the topic of the IgNobels themselves it would be interesting to know how many people actually traveled internationally the last several years to attend in person. I've read about them regularly but never considered going in person; I'm not sure I even knew before reading this that they were previously hosted in the US.

That might depend on how widely we define "arena rock". Yeah there aren't a lot of "rock" acts - by the traditional definition - that are selling out huge stadiums but there are plenty of other acts that are. Between various pop princesses, nostalgic rockers from the past, comedians, and even politicians we have plenty of non-sporting events selling out the hockey, basketball, baseball, and football arenas.

That said, while the tours pay the artists better than media / streaming revenue - and by a huge margin - the artists get but a small fraction of the ticket price. Prices keep going up, and at some point the fans won't pay it. Ticketmaster doesn't seem to have a plan for this, they seem to exist in an alternative reality where all fans have unlimited funds to see their favorite artists.
