"To a programmer, not a user. And the firmware in such devices is rarely user upgradable."

Perhaps you look up to anyone who can press a pushbutton or flip a switch to be a "programmer", but I don't.

I recall our software used in industrial equipment having to be configured for such a situation.

So, it wouldn't have to be replaced, as you claimed.

"The real problem with blankets is how, in the middle of the night, they somehow magically move completely over to the woman's side of the bed without her being responsible for it at all."

Wait for menopause, then they move in the opposite direction.

>Since the 1980s, and possibly earlier, our electronic clocks have been building DST changes into the hardware. Generations of electronics needs to be replaced first.

If that were true (and it isn't), anything made before 2007 would already be obsolete. That's when the most recent change to DST start/end dates was made. I have a couple of clocks which accommodate DST, but it's just a simple on/off switch.

Do you think they sell electronic clocks made specifically for Arizona, or other areas which don't use DST?

Illegal doesnâ(TM)t mean I donâ(TM)t have the right to record, tho. Government doesnâ(TM)t give rights.

Ed, man! !man, ed

I fly 200ish flights a year so figure 70-80 nights away.

2025 was 100% hotels but 2019 was about 80% Airbnbs.

Airbnb will never get my business back. Ever. The professional scammer hosts are so good at finding a way to nail me for a fee. Iâ(TM)ve taken perfect check out video and still had to spend hours fighting fees.

Airbnb allowed making guests do it.

They lost so much money to hotels theyâ(TM)re banning hosts from requiring it.

>That puts the effort somewhere between direct static decompilation of a game's source code and more complete emulation of the entire PS5 environment.

Decompile source code? Is that like ROT26 encryption?

if McD put near that much effort into their app, I might go there more often. Even as much as once a month! As is, the app is high friction, it's easier to go inside or through the drivethrough.

>Meta Made 43M Misleading Statements,

They're never going to catch up with Trump, no matter how hard they try.

OMG!!! Ponies!!!

"Usury" relates to interest or fees for borrowed money, not high prices.

Thank you. The summary completely failed to support what the headline claimed.

>payments to OpenAI, with the Republican National Committee ranking as the company's largest political spender at roughly $9,700, the analysis found.

For some reason, I don't think $10K is going to be much help in paying for the billions being spent on AI data centers.

It has happened under both.
