Although it doesn't solve the problem long term it buys enough time to not deal with it for another generation. Ethically applying a tax to all but the wealthy doesn't make sense anyway, so the public backlash for this option should be much lower than all others proposed with this level of impact.
Maybe it's just variable location to location but if you haven't been to one over the last 5 years they have really stepped up their game in my area. The selection certainly isn't quite as good as the normal supermarkets but the quality well above Walmart for a lot less money.
Every other year or so, but only because there somehow keep being better deals. Over the last 8 years mint mobile has been consistently good pricing even for returning customers provided you're willing to pay for the whole year up front. That's my baseline. From there other small carriers come along offering unlimited for less and you join for a year or two until they go bust. Right now I'm on Spectrum mobile since it's free with even the cheapest home internet available to my address (for 12 months).
Quality electric toothbrush. I can't get my teeth feeling clean without one anymore.
A rice cooker. Doesn't need to be fancy, but it lowers the barrier to cooking substantially given how many dishes use rice.
3, A phone with a camera that's at least mid-range, as it's the camera you'll have on you most. I used to always use phones from cheap brands like Umidigi and although some of them did perform quite well others left me with gaps of my life where none of the photos I took have any detail.
This is referring to the Roku built into many TVs. So you have no choice but to deal with it at least a little bit for switching between your HDMI/PC inputs. The reason this case is so bad is that it literally prevents you from using any input or device until you find the Roku remote that came with the TV and click accept. The TV is a "brick" until you do this.
And exactly this is why I use Google Photos in addition to hosting Photoprism. Google photos is too big to disappear overnight, but over the years I've seen nearly every open-source app I use go through the cycle of lost development interest. Eventually a dependency breaks and you're back to searching for a new open source alternative or coffee to manually use some outdated dependency which from a security standpoint isn't great.
They should write it as "you must allow targeted advertising at least once every 5 years before submitting a new opt-out request for the next 5 year period".
The first time I saw this I was shocked. Every single paycheck of mine is there and there's basically nothing you can do about it without having negative credit impacts for having manually disabled it. Why on earth is this opt-out rather than opt-in? Then it wouldn't look like you're trying to hide something if you value your privacy at all.
That's what I was initially thinking too, I was surprised there is no convenience store in list. I suspect that whoever wrote the survey as well as many people taking it meant convenience store rather than truly a gas station.
Not only did they have the option, as I understand it the API was even configured as such since all requests from an app shared the same API key. They're basically whitelisting like this now but only for the accessibility oriented 3rd party apps.
Yes, but to increase longevity energy density goes down substantially. Manufacturers (and many users including myself) would not make this decision for something as weight and size sensitive as a phone. The lithium ion batteries currently used already last for 2 years after all and are relatively small. A single model S battery contains 7104 individual cells for comparison. Further, lithium battery recycling has made substantial progress over the last year and will already need to be done at scale when higher volumes of EV batteries have reached their end of life. The impact of the of life phone batteries even from the entire world will be dwarfed by that of the 26 million EVs already on the roads today with thousands of cells each (or equivalent if using prismatic cells).
Some cars use LiFePO4 batteries for the superior longevity. But the range is reduced to somewhere between 1/2 and 2/3 their lithium ion counterparts. The industry is moving away from this trend in recent years in favor of traditional lithium ion with a software limited charge/discharge range.
If they hadn't applied the same charges to legitimate 3rd party applications they could still do this and have avoided the massive community backlash.
Considering their horrible track record with advertising and selling Reddit premium this should be the single best way for them to finally monetize their platform. They didn't need to destroy what little credibility they had remaining to their users to get to this point, but for whatever reason they did.
The chemistry from holding that last 20% of charge for a while is what causes the degradation. The BMS can tell the system to stop charging before it's full but it can't do anything itself to prevent the cell from slowly being degraded by full charging.
This is is a problem that occurs on the order of years and that's why the EV companies care but phones historically don't. More easily replaceable batteries is the real solution here, not software stopping you from fully charging.
Lol what state is doing this? That should basically kill EV sales there while simultaneously bringing their gas tax revenue to literally zero. Terrible financial choice.
It doesn't help that the first EVs most manufacturers are focusing on are their large SUVs and trucks. The Chevy Bolt and Tesla Model 3 both certainly aren't small cars in a general sense, but in the land of EVs they are. Both weigh under 4000 pounds which is less than the best selling vehicle in North America, the F150.
To be fair to Netflix before other networks took streaming seriously they were charging very little to license their content on Netflix. That's why it had everything and was so good to be better than piracy. The royalties from Netflix couldn't be enough to fund these networks. Even Netflix themselves as the studio has struggled substantially promoting these price hikes and the effective recreation of cable TV.
As they lose more of the licensed content they're forced to focus on their own. Unfortunately for the just part they can't compete with constant new mediocre shows and movies. The streaming industry as a whole has lost sight of what made it popular in the first place.
Exactly this. Lower resolution and added compression. You could click to view full version if needed, but this was a feature as it meant faster loading and a small fraction of the data usage.
