Comment Wait a sec whats with this wildly inaccurate post? (Score 2) 141

Only a small fraction of the new usps trucks will be electric and this is an Eventual outcome. Louis Dejois has fought tooth and nail to prevent electrification and has only committed to 10% of the truck becoming electric. this has only recently changed to an undetermined number after a few states and the biden administration sued to force the change. It tells you something if Dejois has been able to control the narrative so well people are misconstruing 10% 20% as the majority. here is a quote from a 2022 newsweek story: âoeEffort Underway to Oust USPS Head DeJoy Over Failure to Electrify Vehicles feb 03/22: DeJoy has made a modest commitment to adding electric vehicles to the USPS fleet, pledging to make 10 percent of the fleet electric while maintaining that the entire fleet cannot be made electric due to a lack of funding.âoe sure the build back better act has provided more money, but the commitment to EVs is still very much bellow what is necessary to make a majority of truck carbon neutral.

So lets be clear what this argument is aboutâ¦. the hdmi port of a computer that can run either 2 or 3 6k/60Hz + 1* 4k/60hz display in addition to a retina display at 120Hz is stupid because it cant also do 120Hz⦠either apple is stupid or they did user research⦠I am going to guess the latter and further say that they interviewed their target user (me an actual video& graphics editor) and recognized that 120Hz is not at the top of our list but multiple 4k/60Hz displays are because most (80%) of our content is for cable and broadcasting ie 720p/1080i and a much smaller percentage is for apple/amazon/netflix 1080p/4k. Games are obviously not made the same way therefore the people working on pc and console gaming would be doing this on the appropriate hardware⦠(not macs). this is not to say that apple could have avoided controversy by including hdmi2.1 but the fact of the matter even this claim of hdmi 2.0 is conjecture. Just looking again at the fact that the Displayport 2 .0 displays are also stuck at 6k/60Hz makes me think that a different issue is at play. anyways this âoeissueâ is totally hilarious D size saber rattlin

Comment Re:and where is exactly the problem? (Score 1) 915

No, the moral of the story IS "don't use twitter" but it IS also don't use religion. ALL RELIGIONS are wrong and dangerous, not just MUSLIMS. Religions no matter how 'peaceful' and 'just' are evil, and are jingoistic self serving means of control and oppression. (look at Christianities/western worlds track record before criticizing Muslim "iron ageness" its all evil, and its ALL because of RELIGION...) Twitter is both a tool of freedom of speech and of oppression. i think anyone serious about freedom should avoid twitter, it is not the gateway it seems to be. anyplace where the police/govs/the "majority" seem to find themselves is corrupted, and shouldnt be used for real discourse. just avoid twitter...

Comment Apple really what about "do no evil" liars? (Score 2) 722

I am really not buying this... If you are going to write about rising evil empires why are you not writing about Google? As big as Apple is, its going to stay a 2nd in line in the tech market, even as it dominates some parts of it. Apple's ways have never really veered from their pattern so none of the "negative" behaviors they are being accused of are the result of their success, they have always been transparent. Accuse them of whatever you will, they unlike Goog are not changing their behavior with power. I call bs on this bit of "analysis".

Comment Lots of valuable tennants (Score 1) 87

I just stopped working for Barnes&Noble.com and it was on the 9th floor of this building. BN is centralizing even more of the corporate into that building. Armani North America is in this building. Among other fancy upscale tenants. (all design and corporate for Armani, Armani exchange, etc. also freelanced there a while back) There are literally hundreds of big name companies there. its also a really culturally significant building for its New York history.

Hot dogs are never raw dood... always pre-cooked. but he sounds like a nightmare. I had one of them before he also locked himself in his office, then decided to sue his 3 other founding partners for damages... Because he was not included in decision making (which he excluded himself from by not going to meetings, screaming randomly at people and being a general anti-social jerk.) and yes it was design company in which he was the main tech person.

Comment Hackintosh YOS! (Score 1) 459

We all know windows sucks.
We also know that Linuxs is funny.
The real solution is just to install osX (see osx86projects).
Then go to "System Preferences/Security/"
1) Disable automatic login
2) Check on require a password to wake this computer from sleep or screen saver.
3) Turn on "FileVault" or home directory encryption, this will encrypt all your good stuff.

That is it.
No extra software, no fancy shmancy tricks, nothing.
just straight out of the bittorentbox Kalyway OSX.

IF you want to get super fancy, you could write an "AppleScript" that requires a usb key or other volume to be mounted to let you use the computer on top of that.
see easy peasy.

UNIX os, shmoodelicious interface, use any MS & Adobe shyte software you would normally use (albeit very slowly) and have a native encryption system + continuous backups with "Time Machine" --onto the usb key that is required to start/use the computer.

Tada!!!
