I have it enabled but it has never once turned on, I know how it’s supposed to work, but no combination of charging and flipping my phone around has ever worked. 90% of the time, it just wakes up the whole display due to the raise to wake feature.
Why can’t it just be like android’s Always on Display, where it’s just on unless something is blocking the front camera. Why does Apple have to always be the weird kid in the class.
Obviously tax money that goes to his companies = good.
Tax money that goes to anything else = bad.
Friendly reminder that SpaceX is almost entirely funded by launching starlink and government satellites. Without government contracts, our tax dollars, SpaceX could not afford to exist.
I’ve always managed with pliers and a flathead screwdriver.
I have to take at least one of them off every couple of months because my wife shops at big box stores a lot and most of the employees around here don’t really give a shit.
They’re meant to be hard to remove in a store. If you find them on your merchandise while at your own home, it’s not exactly hard to get them off.
Some mad lad bolted one of these to the hand guard of an L85 and called it a weapon light.
This was, of course, really to add mass to the rifle for when it was used as a bludgeon, because it is so British that it spontaneously ejected its own magazines as a form of silent protest against violence.
Just because he didn’t create the coin doesn’t mean he isn’t responsible for several pump and dump scams that he’s run on the coin.
If I pick a random penny stock and tell a bunch of rubes to buy it and we’ll all be rich, only to sell my shares when they reach a high point, that’s still a pump and dump scam, even if I have no affiliation with the company.
Musk doesn’t own the coin, but he does own the scams he pulled with it.
Is the Apple way of snapping windows different from everyone else?
Everyone else has to bring the cursor holding the window all the way to the edge of the monitor to make it snap. It’s not really something you can do by accident unless you have an extremely small screen or really poor hand-eye coordination. Unless you specifically snap a window, it stays where you leave it. Does MacOs do it really aggressively?
I can’t imagine living without window snapping. Half of time I spend on a computer is moving data from one window to another, or comparing 2 things. having to alt+tab between them or work out of unevenly sized windows where I can’t see everything I need to would drive me insane very quick.
Recessions allow the wealthy to consolidate and expand their wealth.
He’s going to force a huge recession so he, and all of his billionaire friends, can buy up failing companies, consolidate them, and make even more money when the economy gets recovered by someone who actually knows what they’re doing.
Enjoy the last few months of being able to afford anything.
I think there needs to be a heavier tax on short term investment. This would disincentivize quarterly returns over multi year returns, and make investors prioritize longer term planning.
Right now you only pay taxes on stocks based on what you cash out every year, I think the length of an investment should ease its tax burden. Hold a stock for 1 year, you pay a high percentage when you sell. Hold it for years and that percentage drops every year until you hit a minimum. I think a 5 to 10 year period before it hits the tax minimum would be good for encouraging longer term investment.
It would also shift the focus away from companies being increasingly profitable over short terms periods. That’s simply not how any business works, and it’s ridiculous that it’s become the norm to expect that. It gives companies a chance to have bad quarters and years, without as much fear that their investment will dry up overnight.
Every time the phone reboots, it disables biometric unlocking until the correct pin is entered.
Most hacking tools that police have access to take advantage of the weaker security found in the biometric unlock mode.
By randomly restarting, the phone’s storage stays fully encrypted until the correct pin or passcode is entered, which is far more secure as it takes either a brute force attack to guess the correct pin, or a court order compelling the person to provide the pin or passcode.
Fun fact, in the United States, a pin or passcode is considered private property, and the police can’t legally force you to provide it without a warrant. However, your face or fingerprints are not considered private property, and they can and have used biometrics to unlock phones without user consent or a warrant before.
If you ever get stopped by the cops, make sure to reboot your phone so they have a harder time finding incriminating evidence.
If the Russians launch a nuke, every nuclear state is going to get automatic warnings that either an ICBM has launched, or a nuclear flash was detected. A few minutes after that, the US president gets forcibly dragged to a bunker under the White House and told to pick a nuclear response and give the launch codes to Strategic Command.
If the president elects for ICBMs in his response, then those launch within a minute or 2 of the order going out. Russia will see this via satellite and will probably also launch in retaliation. In about 30 minutes, hundreds of nukes are in the air or detonating, and probably dozens of sub launched nukes have already gone off. A few hours after all that, the nuclear bombers arrive and drop their payloads. Nuclear war, the whole thing from start to finish, takes less than a business day. Nukes destroy cities and decapitate governments in one strike, so the proportional response is extreme violence until the other party stops launching or everyone is dead.
And that’s really just the US and Russia, there’s like 10 other nuclear nations that will also pick a side. If Russia fires off a nuke, someone will respond in kind, and that just leads to the rest of the dominos falling.
My point is, nuclear war happens so fast that there’s not really time for china to say anything. Once you light the fuse, it doesn’t stop. No one has ever tried to restore deterrence, because no one was supposed to be stupid enough to test deterrence. The plan for restoring deterrence is therefore equally stupid: keep launching like we planned to anyway.
