I have a long distance call from Arakis, the Fremen are on line 1…

I long for the day that ANYTHING close to this happens in the USA

Kinda cool idea;; but the key can’t be rewritten; so if something happens to your phone; it would be bricked.

So… not really that great??

Me too!

Nice. Way beyond my skill set.

But if it were polished and made by someone; hell yes 👍

Well, yeah.

They make more money from OF than from Spotify… and they are not doing porn.

Yes and…

Lily Allen and Kate Nash are on OnlyFans and make more money there…

That’s how fiber optic cables work now.

You can use a laser for line of sight through the air, so you don’t have to lay fiber. So ship to shore

How it is transmitted, others in this thread have said, light on is a 1 off is a zero, now just transmitting information in binary. You can go as fast as you can reliably turn it off and on, and understand the info at the other end.

The real trick is using multiple wavelengths at the same time. So your data goes at 100nm mine at 110nm and yes that is a gross oversimplification.

Right?

I’ll be so happy to see them in production, in actual cars and trucks

But holy moly how much power is going across that charger to do that? The heat pump would (I imagine) be going full tilt to keep up

Oi

Funny story, before they did the 2007 redesigns, they asked users what they wanted to be added; 95% said features that were already in Office.

The Ribbon was designed to make features more findable.

Alas.

Old man says:: yep could be. I thought the other was IDDKFA ??

But they say memory is the second thing to go ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I hate cheating in general, however I do have a personal carve out…

Some single player games, like (yes I’m old) doom — I almost always play with a full load out IDDFA No one should be dropping a Space Marine with out full weapons and ammunition and armor.

But that’s it.

Anything else, the point is to learn and find all the stuff the designers want to to discover

Right. This is at its core a mechanical computer. This is only a few changes away from doing stuff like calculating real world data

That some damn fine work

The tenacity, or madness to work through how to make that work is amazing.

I forgot where I heard this::: If there are fewer, more relevant ads, Google and YouTube should be able to make more money with fewer ads.

The advertisers though want more ads even though they are less affective. As it forces the cost per ad down.

It is totally backwards…. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Short version: no

Long version: I’m pretty sure; no. I believe that; tools used like apps would not be subject to FOIA.

I deal with public records requests at work… email, documents etc. sure thing, but I’m pretty sure that the AG would laugh at you requesting the source code for apps we use.

—- I could only wish that we were mandated to use only open source software

“For the children “ …. Like none of them have ever heard bad words…. They must be protected at all cost.

Like a person who likes to grab them by the pussy…

Did Sir want their slice of landlord rare? And with or without mint sauce on the side…

Correct.

They are in charge and are going to do everything to keep it that way.

As you said.

If it makes Apple better; or if it makes Linux on arm better then it makes it better all around.
