I mean, the post says so in the first sentence. It’s a callback reminder in light of the explosive pagers.

People are stupid and easily manipulated, it’s that simple. I’m including you or I in this statement as well. We might happen to be paying more attention to politics, but we’re likely fooled or mislead in other areas of our lives without noticing.
No one has the bandwidth to pay attention to everything, so naturally some people autopilot on things they feel are too complicated or are uninteresting. When you autopilot then lots of things are taken at face value without critical thought, and without the historical knowledge to easily spot a trend or lie.
So yeah, were stupid and apathetic when viewed as a large group and that’s unfortunate. Advertising (propaganda) has been fine tuned over the last 70 some years to exploit our weaknesses exceptionally well. Things will have to get really bad and demand the average person’s attention before they will focus it.
Sad to say a few people have already set themselves on fire over this and it was quickly glossed over and forgotten, so even your extreme example isn’t guaranteed to do anything.
You’ve had a couple good replies that answer your question, just thought this was worth pointing out.
That was the traditional meaning of the word, yes. However it has been horribly misused to push headlines and in the legal arena it has been used to push for harder penalties on what would be considered traditional weapons.
It’s a pet peve of mine because it dilutes the word, but home made preasure cooker bombs have been called WMDs in the US and people seem OK with it.
You may be 100% right in your assessment of the scam. I can’t argue otherwise because you deleted the URL, so you win by default.
I have to say I am really disappointed with this hand holding form of moderation, treating me as a child that can’t make up my own mind on a product. I was able to find that cat food sold through a reputable pet store and now I can’t remember the name because you’ve deleted it. You’ve decided your opinion trumps my research and that’s not how an open forum for discussion should be.
I know you think that animals are going to be harmed and you’re trying to do the right thing, but it’s simply overplaying your role and blocking discussion. Imagine going into a BDSM community and telling the people there that what they’re doing is harmful and they need to see a psychiatrist. Maybe you could be right? But it’s not your call.
You should be stopping hateful speach, bullying, and trying to keep illegal content off the server. Sluthing links and deleting posts because they don’t match your opinion is simply not the role of a mod. I don’t mean to be rude or insult you personally, but these kinds of actions matter and really make me reconsider if this is a community I want to be a part of if it is run this way.
Reading the article it sounds like it’s both.
Protesters scuffle with police, try to break through a barricade. They’re chanting “shame,” “Ben Gvir is a terrorist” and “where were you at Sde Teiman,” the infamous prison where Palestinian prisoners were abused, at the cops
Samsung has been doing this for a long time with DeX an it’s awesome. However it won’t really be a thing for most people until Apple does it.
Absolutely. It sounds ideal for something like that.
The issue is they sit in this odd place from a price perspective. I can get an N4000 based stick PC with 4GB RAM and eMMC storage for $140 CAD, or a vastly better performing N95 based mini PC with 8GB RAM, real SSD, and additional outputs for $50 more.
The stick PC really only makes sense if you need that form factor, or if you’re on a really tight budget. The improvements for $50 are just too much to ignore.
Your wishlist sounds almost identical to mine. As frustrating as the limitations of streamers are, they are easy to use. HDMI CEC makes single remote setups possible, easy volume changes, input switching, etc. Apps are vetted so they “just work”.
As for casting, most platforms support running Miracast or AirPlay receivers. Google is the stickler here that won’t let you run a Google Cast receiver (or at least I haven’t found one) and also doesn’t implement Miracast on Pixel devices. It’s such a shame because I vastly prefer casting the URL to the TV and letting it source the content than mirroring my phone all the time.
Yeah, those were on my radar as well. I haven’t yet had a chance to look into what the Linux compatibility is like, but that sounds promising that you were able to do it.
The big downside I see is that while the power consumption is low, they’re running a really old SoC, usually based on Intel N4000 (launched late 2017). Looking around it seems to have h.265 decode which is the most important one to look out for. It doesn’t support AV1, but that’s mostly streaming services and not that common (I think?). There may be other disadvantages I’m not thinking of at the moment.
What was the performance like for you?
I do have surround sound, but I wasn’t aware of that being an issue with a PC solution. Have you encountered issues getting that to work?
All my current self-hosting is running off an N100 mini-PC. OPNsense, NginX, Home Assistant, Unifi Controller, Docker host, etc. They are fantastic, it just seems a bit overkill for sitting behind the TV and playing Plex/Jellyfin and the occasional web stream in a browser. There’s really not much competition though as all the products below it offer a lot older processors that don’t have very up to date HW decode.
I haven’t seen this brand locally but it does look decently priced. I don’t live in the US but I do see a couple specialty stores in Canada that can ship it. I might give it a try. Thanks for thr recommendation :)
I’m inheriting a cat (long story) and did some basic research into the possibility of a vegan diet. It seems that while it is possible, like your links suggest, there is no easy way to do it. I looked in thr local stores and while I have found vegan food for my dog, they don’t have anything for cats. A few online specialty places but the food is so expensive it is off the table.
I’ve switched to trying to find the lowest impact food but even that information is hard to find. I hope that it gets better and this small market gains traction, but it’s not really at a level right now where thr average person can make a switch.
I assume this is the result of “water heater” and “hot water tank” being merged together.
I’m fairly confident that ensuring countries remain sovereign is a net benefit for the world, even if I never step foot in Ukraine. We are lucky to live in this time of relative global peace, and strongmen countries invading others just because they can is something we need to put behind us.
Valve has not yet put in the effort to create a generic version of SteamOS because their focus is on the Steam Deck right now, but the community has.
Bazzite has been made to look and feel almost exactly like the Steam Deck and can be installed on any PC (AMD GPU recommended). Give it a shot!
That’s exactly what the GSMA is saying. Universal interoperability means not having to use Google’s encryption method, therefore iPhones and all other phones including customized Roms should work.
Now, they could absolutely get in the way of this, but I would hope that they would think it’s not worth the effort.
