Comment Republicans do not have us on track (Score 1) 59

For a major economic downturn. We are already deeply deeply in the major economic downturn due to the Republicans.

Just hoping we don't have a total complete collapse. You can't keep putting pedophiles in charge of everything and expect things to hold together.

On some level you have to know that.

As for why Democrats are the solution you're not Americans so you wouldn't understand this but we have winner-take-all first past the post voting and we don't have any kind of parliamentary system.

This means we inevitably get two parties because any attempt of the third party just pulls votes away from one of the other two and results in single party rule.

To fix this we would have to overhaul our entire voting and political system but that's easier said than done.

So we have a choice between the Republican party who are openly fascists and getting real comfy with actual Nazis not just the dog whistle kind or our conservative party which is the Democrats.

Remember fascists aren't conservative and the Republican party in America is not a conservative party. They are radical extremists because they will do whatever it takes to get what they want. That leaves the Democrat party as the de facto conservative party in America

In this case it appears to be a design flaw. They all break in the same place, in the same way. iFixIt found that there is a part of the hinge right under the screen there, and it appears that sometimes it gets misaligned and damages the screen.

My memory of a systemic failure was HP laptops. They had a deal with Nvidia that meant they all used Nvidia chipsets, and they would all eventually fail as the repeated heating and cooling cycles caused the BGA soldering to fail.

It sounds like BS anyway. Their press release says

"Components sourced from U.S. and allied-country suppliers account for more than 90% of the BlueChip prototypesâ(TM) component procurement cost."

Note that they include "allied-country suppliers", and are using the cost rather than the component count.

Does anyone make high grade NAND in the US?

I'm not going to an AI-coded anything until it's had a few years to get analyzed and the faults addressed. Yes, I treat other software the same way, it just tends to have a longer history by default.

I don't get why LO doesn't have live pivot. It's got pivot tables, you just have to generate them for every change. It seems like this should be relatively easy to address?

The Apple fanboys by the first version, and every version, of everything made by Apple. Only the noobs don't know this.

The question with this device is why you'd want one even if it was flawless. Overwhelmingly unappealing unless you're 7 and want the world's most expensive gameboy without the games.

Yes, they do need to be an expert at digitization. This myth about clueless clowns being able to manage departments is just that. It's a story only believed by idiots. If you can't do the job of your hires then you can't manage them correctly either. Obviously there are exceptions like people who can no longer do the job because of an injury or similar, but in general those who can't also can't manage. That's what happened to Boeing!

The iPhone was a copy of existing smartphones. Apple copies it, then there's a relentless propaganda campaign, then Apple invented it.

But the F700 was not the original smartphone and no one even remembers it. Microsoft, in fact, made devices like that before Samsung or Apple. Nokia did as well. There was an entire market for smartphones prior to the iPhone.

Apple did do multi-touch, though, although only two touches and almost nothing exploited it. And Apple bought that from another company. Their touch keyboard, though, was a big improvement. Too bad they didn't even support applications, their web browser was worst in the industry AND they didn't do MMS. Steve Jobs didn't even use a cell phone, Apple didn't even know what texting was. Email was what everyone wanted, that was literally the Jobs claim. Never forget, Jobs thought email was the solution for phones, no one wanted text. He was some genius, and GREAT to his kids...
