It also doesn't say they can't do it.
What the hell is that? Is that a salesman in PC-speak?
We had such a law in Poland:
Dz.U. 1921 nr.30 poz.177 (also Dz.U. 1920 nr.11 poz.61): Art.2: An official, guilty of accepting a gift or another material benefit, or a promise thereof, [in matters relevant to duties], shall be punished by death by shooting.
It applied to both politicians and regular members of administration. Guess why this law got dropped...
If data that you own is not personal property, then what is it?
This is like saying the words on a page are not personal property, but the paper is. No court would agree to that.
Personal property is anything you own or have possesion of, including intangibles such as stock or copyrights, that is not attached to land or fixed to real estate. Data on a phone falls within that definition. The phone is a physical item you own. It's your personal property. The data within the phone is also personal property, though intangible.
If it's on your phone, it's personal property. If you don't think it is, kindly explain who owns it.
If these events occur every 27.5 million years, when was the last one? From that we can anticipate the next one and see what happens.
Since the paper is behind a cookie wall, I can't read it, but I don't see anywhere where the previous event is noted.
His podcast Better Offline is squarely targeted at people who are very much online. Indeed his entire gig is the epitome of online living.
If Ed Zitron really felt better offline, he wouldn't be making a living off of a podcast and constant AI bashing.
Not that I necessarily disagree with him though... It's just that the messenger doesn't really befit the message.
I know it's marketing speak, but "influcencer" is just another name for shill. These people are trying to get you to buy something.
The domain name is sent anyway (except http 1.0 which is dead), and www.foo.bar being different from foo.bar is weird and self-inflicted. Also, see no-www.org.
No, he does have principles: he'll do anything for love. Love for money, of course.
It's the other brand of socialism, whose usual abbreviation starts with "Na". But they're close to each other, despite what worshippers of either side say.
Sounds more like an EDID problem. I don't know how to debug that on Windows, but you can check that on Linux, search for the EDID blob on the 'Net, and install it on Windows.
Eg. for one of my monitors I have this bit in
xrandr --newmode "1600x1200"x60.0 162.00 1600 1664 1856 2160 1200 1201 1204 1250 +hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode HDMI-A-1-5 1600x1200x60.0
xrandr --output HDMI-A-1-5 --mode 1600x1200x60.0
xrandr --output HDMI-A-1-5 --rotate left
xrandr --output HDMI-A-1-5 --left-of DP-1
I just realized this would be better put into
On the other hand, Windows requires raw EDID rather than parsed modelines.
It already is. If you connect to port 443 speaking SSL-wrapped http, what else do you expect?
Love makes the world go 'round, with a little help from intrinsic angular momentum.
