My six-year-old and my eight-year-old started fighting and chasing each other around on a skinny trail at the top of the Grand Canyon with very long drop-offs and no fences to either side.

They didn’t die, then, but each time I remember it again they are at risk of being murdered

The way it works for power over Ethernet — and I assume USB power delivery must work the same way — is that it does not reduce bandwidth because they run the power and the signal over the same wires at the same time.

There is a a power injector at one end and a filter at the other end that separate out the high-frequency signal and the DC (no-frequency) power into different wires.

This is essentially the same thing as they’re already doing for multi-frequency stacking on those same wires (and on fiber) to get the crazy bandwidth in the first place. DC power is just one more low (very very low) frequency running on the same stack.

If that is true, please explain why all the chicken for sale in my country has gone to shit and good quality meat can’t be found anymore.

Regulations matter. Hold on to them.

I’m not saying “inflation means prices go up” I’m saying “inflation means prices went up”. There can be many things that cause prices to go up, inflation is one result of any such cause and of course then causes many things itself including further inflation.

In your scenario that’s inflation caused by price fixing. You seem to be saying these things are mutually exclusive but I don’t understand why you would say that.

Companies deciding to raise prices (for any reason — justified or not) is what inflation is made of.

Inflation just means “prices went up.”

I can press the entirely local switch and have light.

Are you sure about that? Is it a local connected smart switch (still fancy electronics, just local) or a plain old power switch?

If it’s a power switch, and If you turned your lights off by app over the internet, and then the internet went out, then your lights’ ability to come back on when you flick the physical switch depends on somebody having thought about this need and programmed a “oh, the switch was flicked so I better ignore the internet settings” mode.

And if they did that, it also probably means your lights all turn on after a power outage since the light can’t tell the difference between power outage and light switch flipped off.

we don’t want it to reactivate in the future and begin transmitting again if its solar panels find sunlight.

Why go to so much work to ensure it can never be turned on again? What harm does it do to move the satellite to a graveyard orbit and just leave it listening?

Jesus wtf?

Alright, need some kids on here who grew up hearing sex please to tell me how it did or didn’t fuck them up…. Anyone?

Cuz um we might have had some thin walls

If it cost more than half, get rid of it at the first opportunity.

I don’t think this part is really right. Buy a newer car because you want a newer car (and can afford it) or because your old car can’t do the job you need anymore. Newer car is almost never going to save you money.

If you have an old paid-off car that is worth basically nothing on paper but in good shape and runs well for you, and it needs a repair, it’s almost always going to be cheaper to do the repair.

If you get a more expensive car from a dealer (new or used) the car payments and interest are so much higher than even ongoing frequent repair costs it’s just crazy.

Even in OPs story replacing the engine — I don’t know what else was wrong with it — but if they put $6K into a new engine and next year $1K into brakes and next year $1K into tires that’s still way less money than just three years of interest payments on a nice new CRV. That’s not even counting the down payment and the principal!!

You might have lots of reasons besides money to replace a car, but that’s a question whether the cost is worth it, not a question of whether it’s cheaper

The place in my mind when the old car is no longer economical to repair is when:

• The repair can’t really fix it eg the body is rusting away etc. Car is done unless you rebuild the whole thing, too bad time to say goodbye

• frequent breakdowns, even small cheap easily fixed breakdowns, mean you can’t get to work and lose money or risk your job (consider if the breakdowns are related cause though — maybe you need to replace all old rotted rubber hoses and exposed gaskets in the car all at once and it will be reliable again? Making an unreliable car become reliable again requires you or somebody you trust knows something about cars to decide; most people can’t do this)

• the repair (including rental car or lost work due to downtime, which can be more than the actual mechanic cost but totally counts just the same as a cost to you) is more than the cost of whatever vehicle you’re going to replace it with — this… mostly doesn’t happen. putting $6K repair plus $800 for two weeks’ car rental into replacing the engine on a otherwise-$10K old Versa is still cheaper even than buying somebody else’s $10K old Versa in running condition (by $2200 + tax + registration) — let alone a newer car.

I’m glad they’re still going but…

closed out 70% of the in-flight anomalies from the CFT mission

maan, if you can have enough anomalies in a single flight that closing out 70% of them is a thing, that was not a good flight.

Any test flight, he said, would be in the “post-certification” phase of Boeing’s current contract

Excuse me what?

No, can’t blame the app dev at all but we can blame Apple for making open source and other free software so difficult on their phones

No. Very irritatingly, iOS won’t let you install fonts normally.

In order for you to install a font, someone else needs to make an app for that font, and once you download and run the app that installs the font, that font becomes available anywhere.

This seems profoundly stupid to me and I do not get it.

There actually is an app for the older font, which you can find if you search the App Store for “hyperlegible”, where some guy is charging $2 to package up this free font for you.

Thanks, Apple. As usual you’ve done a great job ensuring that nobody gives away anything for free on iPhones

I think this font is meant for people with bad eyesight. The website doesn’t make any claims about trouble reading for other reasons.

I’ve always read very fast with no problems but now I’m old and can’t see small print as easily. This font actually was much more comfortable for me to read without my glasses, which I guess is nice for me but no use at all for you.

How do you feel about comic sans and the open dyslexia font some other comments on this page are talking about with positive and negative comments? Do those make any difference at all to you?

legally,“sell” includes things that most people wouldn’t consider a sale in normal parlance

Like what, any specific examples?

I have been hearing this repeatedly as a talking point from people defending Firefox but without any specific example of what they do and don’t allow themselves to take and sell, it rings quite hollow.

Bambu is working on it already — can’t print unless you’re connected to the internet and send your files through their server, can’t connect to the printer with other slicers besides their slicer.

They had to walk that back some; there is now a “developer mode” where old standard functionality is still exposed, but they’re clearly working as hard as they can to turn it shitty.

They can’t be specific in the legal note because that would close their options and prevent them from auctioning off every month to the new highest bidder.

They certainly could keep a page of what they’re currently selling to whom, but even if it was innocuous (doubtful) that would again put them in the news every time they changed it.

Tried and true legal PR strategy: say nothing and hope the attention goes away
