It's not about disruptions in the supply chain, but rather about controlling it and using it to extract maximum value for the shareholders. Everyone wants their share and nobody will accept a smaller percentage than they did last week.

Handful of products? In Finland, at least, much of the grocery market is controlled by two dominant players that more or less control the entire supply chain for many products. Both have been profiteering like crazy lately, and for most peo

Good ones are decent, as they save desktop space. Alas, left-handed ones are usually either low-quality ones, or twice as expensive as right-handed ones.

Frankly, I can't understand such movies aren't monetized more. I can imagine there' some money to be made from ads, especially from movies most people will never watch anyway. My teenage daughter will most likely never watch

It applies to systematic collection and processing of personal data.

In Finland, at least, the most common way is to get people to download an app, or join a bonus club. I'm sure they use visual analytics too, but identifying store visitors means storing personal data, which you can't do without ex

Yeah, I expected Gorillaz to be some one-off art project when the first album was released. 1998 me would never have believed you if you'd told me Gorillaz will be a household name while Blur will be some old 90's band the kids do

There are many cars from 00-05 and with emission levels that are relatively low; if one is to make a somewhat absurd suggestion to prove a point, I'd suggest many smaller petrol and dieselbcars would be cleaner than an EV _if_ the EV w

Using a VPN is one of the easiest way to get rejected. Most automated systems flag stuff coming from them as highly suspicious due to the sheer amount of crap coming through them.

You have an address on your passport? I can see how that could cause issues if the address isn't valid. If I'd have to determine if your order was fraudulent or not, I'd err on the side of caution rather than risk having you

And more renewables are not solving any issues until there are more investments in grid and storage. Alas, at least in Northern Europe, the grids are largely in private hands, and investments are kept down to the legal minimum. There's

I don't believe that's relevant? Unless someone starts selling and building cost-effective and large-scale storage here and now, nuclear and fossil fuels are the only reliable options that will fix the current situation. Fixing t

Most of Poland's neighbors are situated around the same pond (the Baltic sea) with similar conditions. Winters are dark, and occasionally with little to no wind over the entire region. Unless you somehow solved storage at a low enough

Now check GDP per capita. :) Sweden has twice the population and what? Three times the landmass? Sweden also does not have an oil fund where it invested much of the dino profits from the last 60 years. The Norwegian one won't last fore

As much as the rest of the Nordics hate to admit it, Norway's economy is far more stable than those of their neighbours, including the Swedish one.

For anything that requires temporary but really fast storage, RAM disks is still a thing. The number of valid use cases have gone down since SSD's became the norm, but there's still situations where disk i/o or the fear of we

Athlon Thunderbirds were notorious for reaching insane temperatures without any form of thermal throttling -- an uncooled Thunderbird will destroy itself without cooling. The Pentium 4, on the other hand, will throttle down and often keep r

Most "audiophiles" won't argue in forums; they'll just buy the equipment they think sounds right for them and then just leave it at that. The listening experience differs from person to person, depending on everything fr

There's nothing wrong with that. This isn't about that, though. This is about artificially creating a supply of workers by lowering standards, rather than increasing the price for the existing supply of workers. With a looming dem

I don't think I've used PCMCIA since my Amiga 600. It was also quite popular for Wifi cards about 20 years ago. But yeah, good call. No reason to support it in new kernels.

That's the thing, though; when you're bound by working hours and need to commute (which most people are), you don't really have much choice and will need to commute during rush hours. Personally, I'd rather find a non-te

Commutes are often filled to the brink with people, there usually isn't enough space for everyone to move freely, and depending on one's location, you might have nothing but a black tunnel wall outside the windows. Public transpor

It's not just an American issue. Quite a few places in the world have similar situations (for various reasons). That problem is rarely a major issue, though; transportation in urban areas can be improved a lot and there's no reaso

Cries in Nordic I take 30 minutes longer lunch breaks in winter the days the sun is out, just to be able to get outside. It's more or less impossible to get natural Vitamin D otherwise -- any spare time will be during the dark hours

There's a whole lot of social conventions tied to local time, sunrise/sundown, and the circadian rythm in general. Sure, it'd be possible but we'd have to concieve a lot of new cultural concepts to replace the ones inval

If you have a decent masonry stove, good airflow and dry firewood then most of the particles will simply burn. Once the stove is hot enough, the smoke will ignite and most of that soot is converted into heat and energy.

The other Nordic countries have similar movements. I assume there are others too.
