Comment North America datacenter? (Score 1) 43
So if they had their North American cars communicating to a North American-based datacenter, would that be ok? Or is it really just the blocking of BYD?

As anyone knows, IT technicians are federally mandated to request a reboot of the system before continued troubleshooting. Does this apply in space and what is Outlook running on anyway?

Yes, that was a cool time. I had the HP version with the dock and everything. Worked great!
This will be cool to have full Windows 11 versus Windows Mobile of yore.
Also, can they please put in multiple physical USB ports on the phone? (even if it charges only on 1 port) Who wants to carry around a usb hub......

...all the way to the end. I liked it overall.
Does it make me want to plan tankapolooza? Normally would be a hard no, but I must say I'm intrigued... I might look for headlines or stories about it as it comes online, and see what develops from there.

Submission + - First-ever Star Trek Lego U.S.S. Enterprise (the-independent.com)
semper_statisticum writes: Made from 3,600 pieces, the [first-ever] Star Trek inspired Lego set is of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D, the spaceship that serves as the main setting of Star Trek: The Next Generation series, which ran for seven seasons, as well as the 1994 film, Star Trek Generations.
“[It] allows builders to craft a detailed replica of the iconic starship, complete with a detachable command saucer, secondary hull, and warp nacelles with distinctive red and blue detailing,” according to a press release from Lego. “The model also features an opening shuttlebay and two mini shuttlepods, perfect for recreating classic scenes.”
The set comes with nine mini-figures of Star Trek: The Next Generation characters, including Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Commander William Riker, Lieutenant Worf, Lieutenant Commander Data, Dr. Beverly Crusher, Lieutenant Commander Geordi La Forge, Counsellor Deanna Troi, bartender Guinan, and Wesley Crusher.

Comment Does this mean....Boost is the winner? (Score 1) 23
It reads to me that Boost Mobile will have the best coverage of all, combining T-Mobile, AT&T and some of their own towers? And they are a "budget" carrier so should be less expensive then any of the others alone?
And here (MN) Verizon coverage seems no better the any others, esp in slightly fringe areas, imho.
