My wife’s opinion is that most of the pressure comes from other women and old men.

And most men thank you for that and wish all women were like that.
Battery cost pushing up vehicle cost, battery replacement cost, battery weight, low battery energy density, batteries that only last half of a car lifespan of 20 years.
We need much better batteries.
For now, plug in Hybrids are a good way to avoid many of these problems.
I wish my inner voice was Morgan Freeman’s and not Adam Sandler’s from Nicky.
In movies the resistance is usually of neutral good alignment, fighting against the lawful evil empire.
In real life the resistance is usually neutral evil, or true neutral at best.
I think this strategy makes sense, if you do an overall push to have all software sources verified. Knowing users, a simple warning that an app is unverified rarely affects their behaviour. You need to hide the app, to encourage app developers to get verified for it to work. Users ideally should be able to trust by default, because we can’t trust them to know any better.
Exactly. Linux mint is one of the few distros that really follow through that their users may not be proficient.
It’s why it’s my business distro of choice.
Amazing, when you sit people down and force them to think, they tend to come to their senses.
Loyalty be damned! It’s the law bitch!
Don’t touch the boats!
Processing is done on the device and only text is uploaded. Streaming audio would also be easy to detect.
It’s mainly in the USA it seems. In South Africa, we have had internet banking since 1995. So businesses stopped using checks around that time. Phone banking with DTMF was popular around that time as well. Bank transfers we used more than checks for businesses before then.
For individuals, debit cards became the default around the same time. Same functionality as a credit card, without the credit.
Then Internet banking became mainstream for individuals around the 2000s when everyone got access to the internet on their phones.
Cash remained popular throughout since ATM infrastructure was very good in South Africa.
You don’t need to speak to a slave to know slavery is wrong.
Choice under the threat of violence is no choice at all. Indistinguishable from authoritarian barbarism.
Not in our case. We only take on clients that converted to browser based apps. Bit we are yet to convert the heavy excel users. The one we have converted are light Excel users and online excel is working just fine for them.
We are trialing about 20 Linux desktops (10 Linux mint and 10 zorin OS) across 2 of our MSP clients.
So far, they have had zero technical tickets in 6 months. They did have double the average user training tickets compared to windows machines. Most of the questions were around how to work with editable PDFs and where is the document was they just saved (file manager questions).
Zorin OS seems to be winning on the usability metrics. Its very polished and more closely matching the UI of people coming from windows.
They do worse than block it, the redirect it to their own servers.
And the data is worth it at volume. They have hundreds of thousands of users, along with the region they are in, as well as data on what websites they visit.
Advertisers have and continue to pay for that data.
It became legal when the Trump administration got rid of net neutrality legislation.
This is why it is so important to get it back, but the current administration is dragging their feet.
They can also redirect that traffic to their own DNS servers, so you think you are using 3rd party DNS, when you are actually still using theirs. This became legal when the Trump administration got rid of net neutrality legislation.
OpenDNS has an article on how to test if your ISP is doing it. https://support.opendns.com/hc/en-us/articles/227988727-How-can-I-tell-if-my-ISP-Allows-Third-Party-DNS-Providers
I could never figure out why they do it. You want to be far south and have an open ocean to the east of the launch site.
Why are they not launching from Hainan or somewhere on the south coast, west of Hong Kong?
