"10.12â"10.14"

It's 2025. I expected this in 1999. Seriously, sort out the encodings already.

That was my intended use for it. However it rejected my second attempt to import a youtube video (that indeed had a transcript), saying, "This video cannot be imported. Transcript not available."

Can anyone else get it working?

This is what they offer now in the Prius Prime... if you can find one. Mine yields a range (in optimal conditions) of 77km. Gas is for road trips. (Which is why I put only top tier gas in, or use a stabilizer.)

You can't go wrong with a hybrid Corolla, particularly coming from a Corolla. Hybrids are the slippery slope of electrification... it will make you want more.

Although I don't encode to the format anymore, I still have a large collection of music (still in my possession) ripped to this format 20 years ago, which I still listen to.

The takeaway is in the last three paragraphs. The fact that the bond market has grown so much faster than the market for bank loans means that central bankers have less ability to shape events during crises, which will have unforeseen consequences.

I almost forgot about spinning platters and fusion drives. And yes, the iMacs are a pain to upgrade internally. Most straightforward option is just to boot off an external Thunderbolt SSD.

I'm sorry, but there is no way a properly functioning 2018 i7 Mac was too slow with OS updates by 2021.

It either needs a reinstall, thermal paste reapplied to the heatsink on the CPU, or possibly something else.

It's just not the OS.

It's far worse than is widely recognized. Huawei was the beneficiary via the Chinese government of IP stolen from Nortel, which led to Nortel being undercut and eventually driven out of business. https://gadgetadvisor.com/news... https://nationalpost.com/news/...

Or abroad. Pretty much anywhere you can find a decent English-speaking University or college (most public ones are very high quality), or whatever post-secondary learning will advance your goals.

I'm not taking grammar lessons from someone who writes "for all intensive purposes"

John Mulaney has a bit, which I'll paraphrase from memory: "You now spend hours a week trying to convince robots you're not a robot. Think about that for two minutes and try not to walk into the ocean." Although your experiences sound extreme, I take the point.

There's a place for ranked ballots, but as a way to select a course of action – where the middle ground is doing nothing – is not it.

Quite clearly, the majority of people voted for doing something to express disapproval with the FSF: 1.34 votes in favour of calling for Stallman's resignation for every vote against; 1.27 votes in favour of discouraging collaboration with FSF with Stallman in leadership for every vote against. These options fall along a spectrum, so having a middle option for "doing nothing" makes no sense, when that will obviously be everyone's preference over the opposite end of the spectrum.

If you're running a ballot to rank options, leave out the wishy-washy do-nothing middle. If you're participating in such a vote, don't rank the middle.

It doesn't "compare well with a conventional data centre"... it blows it out of the water!
