So I have a question for YouTube Premium haters:

How is this any different than what most people pay for both another music service and another video service? It's about half the cost of other music + video services (when combined), even with the increased pricing over the years. I've been paying for YouTube Premium since the awkward Google Play Music transition and it's a bargain, especially when I had my student discount at like $4.99 a month.

It's not the votes of the young that get diminished, it's the political minority depending on state.

Conservative voter in California? Your vote doesn't matter.

Liberal voter in Arkansas? Your vote doesn't matter.

If only we had invented a device that could scroll the web page... Some kind of wheel maybe? It could even go directly on the mouse.

Guess we'll just have to suffer until then.

Howdy

Brother 10-ish years ago, Obama had just been elected to a second term lol

That's what happens when you have a presidential election system like the electoral college instead of a popular vote.

Liberal voter in Arkansas? Your vote doesn't matter. Conservative voter in California? Your vote doesn't matter.

It's just the sad reality of a winner-take-all system that places more importance on the geographical size of a state rather than individual voters.

People are gonna hate on this comment but it's true. I can replace the battery in my iPhone in an hour if I want to, even if it's not as easy as it used to be with removable plastic covers on the back of phones.

It depends on how "friendly" they decide it has to be to replace the battery.

The battery in my iPhone 13 Pro is certainly end-user replaceable, but it's significantly more difficult than it was for me to pop the battery out of my Galaxy S2 and put a new one in.

I'm excited to see what the outcome of SUSE forking RHEL will be.

• Will IBM backtrack?
• Will the SUSE RHEL fork stay separate from SLES?
• Will SLES move directly upstream or downstream from the RHEL fork?
• Will this inspire other big wigs (Microsoft?) to start work on their own RHEL equivalent distributions?

The gotcha for this is that you have to actually use the resources on your free instance or they will reclaim it. I use my instance as a Minecraft server so it utilizes about half of the 24GB RAM you get. For a very light compute task like a chat bot, it might be difficult to keep the instance from being reclaimed.

From this page:

Idle Always Free compute instances may be reclaimed by Oracle. Oracle will deem virtual machine and bare metal compute instances as idle if, during a 7-day period, the following are true:

CPU utilization for the 95th percentile is less than 15% Network utilization is less than 15% Memory utilization is less than 15% (applies to A1 shapes only)

All that matters is if she was proud

lenny face (no space)

It sounds like that's just part of the game if you want to be considered "official".

I think it's OK for them to try and sell extras, but I do agree that it shouldn't be the first thing on the downloads page. At least put the paid and free options side by side, then have the lite version down below that.

Pretty rich coming from the guys who overly moderate players' private Minecraft servers up to and including banning players for saying a no-no word...

Pop OS is my recommendation for new users who want to play games, especially those with Nvidia GPUs.

Good write up.
