Comment The data center in Utah that got forced through (Score 2) 53

It's going to dump 26 atomic bombs worth of heat into the air every single day and use more electricity than the state is currently using in total.

If that thing goes online and it looks like it will because it's backed by a billionaire at a corrupt state then there will be water and electricity shortages.

And yes that includes water shortages. Data centers don't need to use clean drinking water but it's cheaper for them to do so and when they're done with it it can't easily be recycled because they pump it with chemicals to prevent it from corroding their cooling systems.

We spent the last 45 years giving all the money and power to billionaires are stupid reasons. Bad things are going to happen now and they're going to happen so fast the old farts that voted to allow this shit might not have a chance to die before it bites them in the ass

One aspect of enshittification that people don't talk about much is that sites do need to make money to continue. They can't be free forever.

Yes they can. If musicians, software companies, and movie producers don't need to be paid for what they produce, these sites don't need to be paid either.

Comment A lot of it is modem quality (Score 1) 37

Qualcomm on their latest phones makes really high quality modems that have much better connectivity.

If you buy one of the cheaper mediatek phones, some of which get up to about $500, they have good performance on the soc but the modems suck and they don't maintain connectivity.

The Google modems stunk too, I've heard some people say the very latest ones are better but I haven't tried them. If I'm going to drop $700 on a modem I can just pick up a OnePlus 15r with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 and an x85 modem to go with it.

That's for Android. For iOS The actual Apple modems when they use their own really suck. Although I think they still use Qualcomm modems in a lot of their hardware. You do have to pay attention though.

For years I'd connectivity problems and my kid on iOS didn't and it was the modem more than anything else. Finally switching to a Qualcomm based chipset and modem solved to those connectivity problems. The downside is you really want at least the x75 modem just because one of the other problems is 5G was rolled out in completely and a lot of early 5G phone modems really suck and are missing tons of important features.

By what they did to help my family and my country.

I'm not even going to waste my time listing the differences between Biden and trump. If you are so full of TDS that you cannot see the Trump is bad news you are a lost cause. Just somebody who traded their future and their children's future for an identity called maga.

My experience with maga is there so old they're going to die before the worst of it and they never really liked their kids anyway. So it was totally worth it. For them at least.

Comment We stopped updating those statistics accurately (Score 1) 29

Months and months ago. What few groups of those statistics have accurate numbers are heavily heavily cooked using averages and baskets of goods and all manner of tricks to make the numbers look good enough that we can get to the midterms and keep the Republicans in charge.

People are just fucked but they keep asking themselves, maybe it's just me and I'm the problem? And because the news media is billionaire owned that narrative is reinforced.

I get it you are living in a trump branded form of reality. You won't admit it of course because well, for the same reason people don't like being called a redneck we have associated those words and communities with idiots.

If you lie down with dogs you get up with fleas. At least until you do something about all the fleas on your dogs.

In this case you lied down with a bunch of pedophile grifters. I don't think any amount of flea dip is going to fix that. You just have to ask yourself why you keep doing it.
