Fundamental means it cannot be explained by being caused by something else.
Fundamental force means we expect a carrier particle to explain it (for gravity that’s the Graviton, although it hasn’t been detected yet).
electromagnetism is caused by quantum phenomena.
Not even remotely true.
What is the cause for spacetime or quantummechanics? Idk but somehow they don't make it on the list of fundamental forces.
Quantum mechanics is mostly that statistics is more complicated than we all thought . Seeking a cause for spacetime is interesting. It might be relevant to mention that there is a fundamental particle that imparts mass, which we call the Higgs Boson. I guess that could make mass and inertia something of a “fundamental force”.
Supporters seem to be under the impression that companies have a "sever.exe" file they purposefully don't provide players because they're evil and hate you.
There is some truth to this
They could also be contracting out matchmaking services to a third party and don't actually do it in-house. Software development is complex and building something that will be used by 100,000 people simultaneously isn't easy.
There is some truth to this too.
Making an MMO maintainable by the userbase might be complicated. But way more common are games that could easily have LAN based multiplayer but the company decides not to add it, or even singleplayer games that require an internet connection, just so the company can put limits on how and when the game is played.
Hydrophobic coating loosely means a thin water proof coating on a material that otherwise isn’t waterproof.
Example: the previously mentioned popcorn bags are paper based but with a thin plastic based coating. (Historically we used to use wax for this kind of thing but in the modern day it’s almost always plastic)
Not that containers made of glass, ceramic, or metals that don’t corrode don’t need and typically don’t have hydrophobic coatings.
Windows is designed to work on a very wide range of specs, so older devices as well as low-end newer devices should be able to run it.
That’s even more true about Linux. Many popular distros can be run on a raspberry pi, a 20 year old MacBook, or a state-of-the-art gaming desktop.
It’s less true about macOS because Apple has more control over the hardware so they can be pickier. Mobile developers also have more control over the hardware and can be pickier, although that’s less true about Android than iPhone.
Honestly services like Blue Apron help with this. It’s more expensive than buying your own groceries, but still cheaper than eating out. It also helps you learn meal planning to eventually be able to buy the right amount of food on your own.
(It is easier to do if you have more people to feed though, like ideally at least one friend/partner/roommate to share the subscription with you. You can do a 2-3x a week meals for 2 subscription for one person, but it’s a bit much.)
In Python, self is not a keyword, it’s a conventional variable name. You can replace all instances of “self” with “this” and your code will work the same.
The “all browsers are iOS reskin” thing is browsers must use WebKit for JavaScript and rendering, which are the two biggest parts of a browser. WebKit is a library of code distributed as part of the iOS SDK. However, Safari adds more on top of WebKit, including its plugin API. Installing plugins into iOS Safari wont affect anything just using WebKit because they aren’t using the Safari plugins code.
In theory Firefox could implement its own plugins system for iOS, but it would more limited than the normal Firefox plugin system for other devices, and also they might run into policy issues with Apple (this policy about 3rd party browsers is part of a broader policy against side loading, which has in the past prevented things like emulators and programming apps into the App Store. They have recently started loosening up on their anti-side loading policies, however).
If you use reusable bags, bottles, and other containers, that’s way more sustainable than any single use product.
But using paper is still better than plastic, and yes, trees can be and are sustainably farmed in many parts of the world.
I have seen some shifts away from plastic. For example, Apple seems to have removed almost all if not all plastic from their packaging, replacing it with paper.
