Why on earth does the USA still cling to the use of checks?

"Here, I'm going to write down an IOU on this piece of paper to pay for the thing" - uh, yeah, sure, and now I have to trust that the check (that has nowhere near the security features of actual currency) is legit, and that you are going to have money in your account at the time I try to deposit it.

Like, seriously?

What's wrong with electronic funds transfers? They're instant, don't have any fees and I can see the money in my bank account within seconds of someone transferring it to me. Or, for paying for things at a store, use a card. Tap and go. It's safe, it's secure and it's fast.

Frost Piss!!!

Good lord, you're insufferable.

I certainly find typing stuff out is easier than saying it. Especially as I can edit it before submission

Me too!

I am not American. Most of my friends would probably be prepared to pay extra to NOT have AI on their phone, and only use a camera to scan QR codes.

I do use a Samsung phone with the ability to write dimensions on photos of equipment, but other than that, mostly use it to phone. I am still on the 2022 model, which was bought for me as a present.

What I really want, and would pay a fair price for today, is a properly supported Linux phone. (Hierarchical Drop-down menus, no icons). With the option to run OpenBSD on it.

As a UK Boomer, let me say "We already wanted Starmer out". Now the young ones have good reason to do the job.

I thought it was Birmingham Small Arms (A UK manufacturer of motorbikes).

You can still opt out of working for meta.

Act now before it becomes illegal!

Bluetooth in the radio

Hell no!

The car should be sold with a (double) DIN standard location where you can fit old or new appliance of your preference.

Using the radio to control the A/C as a means to prevent replacement should be illegal.

Gonna be the only way very soon, aside from legacy versions of course. macOS 27 ends support for Intel (and Hackintosh along with it).

I have three different browsers running, and four instances of one of them, Each has on average four windows open.

Plus there is a bunch of other stuff running, and I only have spinning rust (Being old, my brain is not very fast).

Not sure how they will get any useable info out of my PC - other than it is probably not using Windows.

... is European startups.

Europe is Dumping Windows as fast as it can - on security grounds. Europe does not have the American funding model, and many start-ups are individuals with no significant funding.

I have developed many Xilinx projects, and failed to develop many more because I could not afford the development software. Including military applications that could have run to very high volume. At that time, there were no realistic alternatives.

I'm guessing the SFC is seeking an order to Vizio to disclose the full corresponding source code (if the possess it) and an injunction against selling hardware with GPL'd software unless they offer the full corresponding source code.

True, many of my friends do exactly that. They skip the entire OTA tuner deal and just download the few things they want to watch. Although at the heart of it, that content is just OTA programming that was ripped off-air elsewhere by some other bloke using their hardware.

I just worry though, without broadcast TV, would they still waste time making content for the medium? Soap Operas, Game Shows, etc. I suppose can survive in a streaming fashion. But again, would they still bother to funnel money into producing the same kind of shows if BC TV didn't exist?

Then again, maybe it's just better if that sort of crap died and went the way of the dodo anyhow. If it survives in a streaming-only world then great. Otherwise Darwin's rules apply.
