At the moment it sounds optional, so that’s a plus.

Also:

The previous average clearance time for each traveller was 25 seconds, said ICA.

So, 15s saved per person. Which is handy, but 25 seconds fits squarely in the “blazing fast” category anyway.

Bet the people will spend more than 15s per person dealing with the ramifications of their biometric data getting leaked and used against them later though.

I think you missed (or ignored I suppose) part of his statement that data caps can reduce overall (across multiple subscribers in an area) used simultaneous bandwidth. People say “I can pull 1Gbit/sec, but I know I’ll hit my cap if I do that perpetually, so I’ll just do short bursts here and there when I need it”. This puts people in the mindset not to push their max data speeds all day/month long. Doing so reduces the possibility that everyone in an area (likely using the same data backbone) will ask for all their speed at the same time. This means that the backbone can be smaller and support a higher number of subscribers.

I completely agree on not having much choice though. And thats really what needs to change in many places.

You used to be able to resell your PC games too, back in the day.

Why can’t PC games also come on discs? The last one I had the option to buy on disc I remember was Skyrim. When I put the disc in, it launched steam, connected my purchase to my account, and steam did the remainder of the install over the network. Turns out, it didn’t really have anything useful on disc.

I’ve had properly stored, professionally pressed, official DVD and CDROM’s suffer bit rot, become in playable and in one case explode into shards in my DVD-ROM drive. And it didn’t take decades, most were <7 years old. Don’t be so sure you have decades.

“Right off the bat” is a phrase used to mean: immediately, without requiring extra thought or consideration, upon first attempt or viewing, etc.

Defenestration is Classic Russia.

blasting my cargo into space

Well, that’s one way to put it, ‘eh?

The problem is that people won’t move until their audience there and their audience won’t move until they are there.

And mastodon is a bit less straightforward compared to old Twitter.

No more than a 13yo who wants to get on the 12yo and younger playground because it’s the only one around and has a hella sweet slide.

How can I use this if I have 3 hands though?

Profiles in Courage - John F. Kennedy

Should have stuck to being a president… maybe it’d land differently now, but in like 9th grade, it was a total slog.

I bought this months ago right after update 5. Figured I’d get my $20 out of it and move on… now that I’m over 100hrs, they throw this out and I’m back in there making aqua ducts.

Not to mention they opened it up to modding and custom maps, this update added quite a bit. If you like city building management sims this is a must play. I’ve honestly played more of it than City Skylines. Just struck a chord with me.

I mean, so is Trump, but some how people are planning on voting for him.

There’s insufficient surge or Mtn Dew in this picture, it’s got to be a photoshop.

As soon as they shut down the 3ds store I was like “well, it’s open hacking season!” Honestly, it’s pretty cool. Highly recommend.

To be fair I think most people think it (and other countries) should be able to defend itself… it’s just that they went from defense to all out genocide like a year ago.

The current party doesn’t know where that line is while the other party wants them to “finish the job”.

And that’s why you get an on demand unit. In either case, heating water in a jug over and over just so it might be hot hen you need it is not a great idea.

Damn, hash browns sound great right about now.

And as a DevOps engineer, I’m going to be hungry every time I deal with passwords and api keys now.

There’s everything from places like http://www.houstoncomputerrecyclingcenter.co/services.html to https://desktopdisposal.com

Just depends on what services you need. I forgot which one we used at a previous job, but they actually would come out and pick up pallets of severs and desktops, destroy the hard drives and resell them, mostly in bulk.

There are third parties you can contact that will take pallets of old computers and do all the secure cleanup, sorting and selling for you. They can recover cash for you or do the recycling if needed.
