Shrinking? They increased their seats in the house last election, and now control >50%.

Where are all these mass bombings and vehicular murders in other Countries then? You average multiple mass shootings per week in the US, while the events in other countries typically happen less than once a year.

$44m over their term is about 15 houses per year. Considering they plan to bring in 400,000 new migrants per year, I’m not sure defunding women’s sports to build 15 houses is really going to make much of a dent in the housing market.

Finally! I’ve been wanting an upgrade, but if I want anything between a 7600 and a 7900, I have to buy last-gen tech. If the 7700 is well priced and actually available it should be a winner.

Being worried about CCP controlled apps is a sensible concern. Banning a single app (because Mark Zuckerberg is upset that it’s stealing his customers) is not a helpful solution.

You know the US government is paying TSMC hundreds of millions of dollars to open plants in the US, right?

Before the iOS overhaul, you went Settings>Bluetooth>Toggle to turn off BT. That still works like it did before. But what most people do now is just swipe from the top-right and tap the shortcut.

My EV still travels 200km for $1 of solar electricity.

Time to stop sucking on OPECs dick people.

As someone who works with small electronics, Phillips is NOT perfectly fine at small sizes. Below a PH1, the torque required to unscrew a long thread and the torque required to cam-out and strip the head get very close together.

Just like with the appliances where some vendors had their shops ready way before regulation we already have some phone vendors prepare for that - like Nokia selling some spares via ifixit. So if apple decides to play stupid games it'll be up against vendors that'll be completely fine pushing regulation through quickly as hurting apple will only benefit them.

You mean like Apple’s Self Service Repair, which has been available for a few years now?…

B and H photography in New York? With their sales, I’ve found it cheaper to order from the other side of the world than to buy locally.

People have tried it. The extra drag of a trailer or roof box consumes most of the extra energy that they carry.

Modern batteries have a thin polymer shell. Sit down with that spare battery in the same pocket as your keys, and your leg is going to catch on fire.

My old Nokia had a swappable battery - but that battery was thicker than an entire iPhone.

Have you actually read up on her, or are you just assuming that based on her age?

The FTC has been run by old white guys for decades, and it’s been going backwards. Linda Khans essay on antitrust (as a postgrad student) has basically reframed the governments and legal professions approach to antitrust (although real change will be slow, with decades of bad precedent to undo). She went straight from being the top student at Yale Law, to being a professor at Columbia Law and simultaneously the counsel for the House committee on anti-trust.

You can’t even change your WiFi password?

5Ghz has a wavelength of 60mm. You need to block 1/4 waves, so the biggest gap needs to be lass than 15mm.

Also to answer your question, it won't work if you can't set the ISP router to bridge mode if you want to run your own router.

Just use the new router in AP mode, or just buy an AP.

If Apples objective was to force people to upgrade, it would have been much easier to just discontinue support for old handsets on the newest iOS. Instead users got the latest iOS, it was just throttled because of the battery limitations.

Apple TV and Plex both do this already.

Also, if plex goes down so does your server. I love plex but if any of the 100% self hosted stuff catches up I'm absolutely jumping ship.

That’s only for authentication and some apps. You can set an IP whitelist so it doesn’t require auth from certain ranges - when I changed ISP a little while ago, I was still using Plex offline.
