1. The 2/sqkm areas of Canada can just use gas for awhile longer, we have so much work to do before we gotta get to them. Priorities and all, is this a real argument?
2. Getting chargers is actually easier because presumably they already have electricity!
Well, that's because your local co-op FTTH deployment is funded by heavy government subsidies.
FTTH is outrageously expensive.
It's great when you can get it, but the money is real.
If FTTP were outrageously expensive small providers all over the world would not be able to deploy it. Operational cost savings pay for themselves within a few years and ultimately if you want to offer competitive service you have no choice in the matter.
Comcast is a perfect example of an incumbent sitting on its ass while a rinky dink ISPs nobody has even heard of does a phased deployment throughout town permanently eroding their customer base.
Those of you in America who have Ukrainian heritage had best avoid this service. I think Elmo might well throttle your data on a mere whim.
After all, he's already done that in Ukraine on more than one occasion. If he's willing to fuck Ukrainians over half a world away, why wouldn't he do it to the ones in his own back yard?
First you use machines, then you wear machines, and then...? Then you serve machines.
Arguably, we started wearing machines with the advent of the smartphone, so I think a case could be made that we're already serving machines to some extent. But with the advent of LLMs - and now a wearable GUI - our servitude may grow by leaps and bounds. Yay!
Ukraine needs to do a better job of this. More. Faster.
Don't be afraid to take out radio and TV stations as well.
To ensure that, Ukraine needs more help from - hmm, let me see... - oh yeah, The United States!. Elon Muskler could start by not doing shit like his recent throttling of Ukraine's Starlink access at a crucial time. And Trump could also provide Ukraine with more armaments - if he wasn't a narcissistic shithead and hadn't blown his country's load in his stupid attack on Iran. He could also not buy diesel from Russia.
Ukraine doesn't need exhortations to do better - they've already pulled more miracles out of their collective hat than anyone could ever have dreamed. They need more weapons - not more advice.
Agreed.
will be the response to this. The manufacturers won't stand for it, because they lose the potential revenue.
Likely methods:
1. Proprietary Non-linux os's which have a smaller memory foot print.
2. Signed boot loaders with E-fuses blown in the microcomputer.
3. Potted CPU electronics.
4. TV hardware subscriptions (Now you don't own it) Click wrap contract provisions which prohibit modification of the hardware.
5. Mandatory network connections. TV won't work unless it is connected to the internet. This will allow security patches to stop jailbreaks and exploits.
6. Televisions legally required to always be on - like in the dystopian future of Max Headroom.
I'm in the US, also likely illegal to do this. But it would have to be tested in courts.
But lots of stuff is totally legal here: free speech, religion, cannabis, guns, police brutality, etc.
America (US, Canada, and Mexico) is different than Germany in two important ways: Free refills and free toilets.
True. It's like a zombie movie tactic. Lure them into a barn and close the doors.
I'm curious how the nuclear decay of sodium 22 produces antimatter to begin with. Does something transmute, for lack of a better word, into antimatter when its nuclear bonds are broken?
Bananas create anti matter. From Ten things you might not know about antimatter (also mentioned, but not explained here DOE Explains...Antimatter)
Bananas produce antimatter, releasing one positron—the antimatter equivalent of an electron—about every 75 minutes. This occurs because bananas contain a small amount of potassium-40, a naturally occurring isotope of potassium. As potassium-40 decays, it occasionally spits out a positron in the process.
well, it is true (afaik), except it's stale 2 weeks old recycled news. the overall reaction here is both depressing and hilarious, as was to be expected, but much more so than usual. maybe a side effect of the increasing desperation in europe and the anticipation of the mid-terms in the us, "democrats" seem to be by far the most rabid rusophobes.
I've always found myself fascinated by the phenomenon of aggressors playing victim. Yes we are waging bloody wars of conquest, raze entire cities to the ground, massacre civilians and abduct children..... but
AI Left Alone With Nothing To Do, AI Agents Started Playing
This will devolve into them fucking around and us finding out, probably faster than their minders can imagine.
Idle hands and all that
I thought we lured them all onto Facebook then ran for the hills?
Maybe the jacket has a kevlar fiber for support?
Of course they would do that.
Adults over 60 next?
