The real issue with QWACS is the idea that the EU government requires them to be added to web browsers running in the EU. It's bad enough that France and Germany can issue those certificates but imagine Erdogan's government pushing them out.
It's not like any politician knows how the Internet works and that someone who knows better couldn't rip those certificates out, but the tyranny of the default means that governments will have more control over EU citizens browsing. That's not something likely to benefit anyone.
6700xt should have a longer life. With the 12gb vram. They are ~$330 US new and just under 300 used/refurbished. The 7700xt is close in performance to the 6700xt but has newer video codec support and if you don't need that specifically they 6750xt or 6700xt is a much better value.
Greater than 60fps on high-ish on most AAA games at 1440p (Cyberpunk, Red Dead) in my, (my buddy's) experience.
I like the point they make which is that every social media site with profile photos and DM's will eventually turn into a dating site in some capacity. LinkedIn though shudder. I can't imagine the corporate pickup lines in a place like that....
Just had our roof and siding redone after hail damage. We were told that the exterior insulation built into the siding was minimal and not worth the extra cost for the benefit. If you already have it and it just needs repaired that's a different story.
From what we could tell, the main difference between exterior contractors was the brand of shingles and siding they use and how they structure their quotes. The job is pretty much the job other than if you choose to do different types of siding on different parts of the house.
We chose our contractor based on someone else we know that had good experience with them and them being local to us in case we had any issues or wanted to make a warranty claim (they offered a 5 year workmanship guarantee). Pretty much all roofing people also do siding. Most do windows too. Our guy did windows, roofing, siding, insulation and gutters despite only having "roof" in his business name.
Just get 3 quotes and see who you like. Also, if you are doing anything through an insurance company, DO NOT sign anything from an exterior contractor to let them negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf. If they came door to door, that's often something they will ask for. Just assume that most of those door-to-door folks are in the same category as ambulance-chasing lawyers and don't trust them at all.
Also, if you are going through insurance and the contractor wants to see your claim, remove all dollar amounts from the claim before you share it. Let them give a quote based on what they value the job at rather than based on how much money they know for a fact you have.
Also also, it's illegal in a lot of jurisdictions, if not all, for a contractor to tell you that they will reimburse or refund the amount of an insurance deductible if you make a claim or if you choose them to do the work. So if any of them said that it's immediately shady if not downright illegal.
Connected a Samsung smart TV to my network when we first got it. The thing damn-near crashed my pi-hole asking for so many ad/tracking domains. Factory reset it later that same day. I think my % of requests blocked went from 15% to 68% in just the 3 hours or so the Smart TV was connected.
I'm not against expandable storage at all, I wish more phones did have it as an option to be clear.
I am curious what exactly is going on these SD cards that everyone wants though. I personally haven't gotten close to my storage limit since the default internal memory was 32GB.
For a while I had one of those jack inserts that was a micro-usb that had a mag-safe type of charging cable that went with it. It was cool but I always had to keep my own cable with me or id have to remove the little dongle thing and it would get lost.
I have maintained for a while that if phones came with 2 USB ports instead of just 1 you could have your cake and eat it too. My biggest gripe with the lack of a headphone jack is that I can't charge my phone and listen at the same time. 2 ports, one on each side for right and left handed people to pick their favorite charging location and you get a ton of other options for peripherals that way.
From what I remember, the M9 had some issues with processor overheating and didn't live up to the M8 legacy. Id love to see a tablet with a proper kickstand come back around. I got a first generation Microsoft Surface when I went to college and the kickstand on it just wasn't good. Plus the battery life was awful. I ended up selling it and just buying a regular laptop. That Yoga sounds like what I wished the Surface would have been.
Wow! Spoilers much?! I can't believe they spoiled the "Beer Ending" in the trailer...
I will say though that even though I know it will just be a text adventure, I kid of want to play it now.
