I swear I can feel the 430ppm already. I was born into a world with 340ppm. You’re probably about my age, then, and I’m old. It might not be the baseline CO2 levels. :-) Kidding aside, that would be hard thing to baseline.

The outdoor CO2 is rising every year. It is not fixed at 400 ppm. But close enough for most purposes. We aren’t doing laboratory measurements here, I just want to know whether or not to open a window.

Complains about pollution, but still breathes the air, eh? What is your suggestion, a strongly-worded letter to the editor of your local newspaper? Arming the dumbest among us... Conveniently leaving yourself out of that group, I'm s

We should all keep in mind that foreign interests, primarily China, are astroturfing to drive resentment in the USA against AI and datacenters. AI companies are doing a fine job of driving the resentment all by themselves, they don't

I'm sure it's more than the cost of memory. The person that does all of their computing on their phone doesn't care. They do care that aspect of life is infected with this shit. From the useless "AI" chatbot that

Replying to my own post: wait a minute, why are there so many accounts with the same password in the first place? Oh, because "dozens" of people are tired of changing their password every 90 days, and someone piped up on an email

That isn’t the fault of the sidewalk users, don’t make it their problem.

That might be accurate, but it doesn’t answer the question asked.

”Finally, the company should have enforced a strong password policy that would have prevented our heroes from finding dozens of accounts with “winter2023!” as the password.” Capitalize that “w”, and you’ve got a password that will pass mo

That’s not easily verifiable, it’s one person’s account after Ehrlichman is long dead, the interviewer having dug through “old notes” many years after the interview.

The one in my dash cam is a SanDisk you can buy anywhere. It's got a good two years on it, works fine. Same in the Pi-hole, it was so long ago that I don't remember when I put that card in. More than three or four years, I'm

I am the only Brit in the department I work in. No one gets the cultural references or British idioms I use… Oh, fer feck’s s sake, it’s not like the U.S. hasn’t had Monty Python for fifty years. Me, after a steady diet of British motor

Yeah, you’re right. Despite Grandpa over here having a 1Gb fiber connection, my head was apparently stuck in 2005 thinking 50 Mbps downstream internet is some kind of high-faluten’ wizardry.

Ever compare a Blu-ray to the same content over streaming? It's not even close. Unlike vinyl records, Blu-ray is vastly superior in quality to alternatives. In case you're asking "why", it's because your "4K&qu

When MS ended Plays fer Sure sales two years after they started, and no DRM-free alternative (well, MS said you could burn to CD at a crap bitrate), that's when I learned to operate sails and a rudder. I tried to play nice, but I cou

Of course the reason SD were pushed away (at least for Apple) was to offer cloud backup as the only option with no alternatives. Except that no part of what you claim is true: https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone&#x

‘“Microsoft Edge is preve…” Bam! Force quit! Kill kill kill!’ Wait, what? Why is OP using Edge on a Mac? To each their own, it just caught me as odd. And, as Betteridge’s Corollary or whatever demands, the answer to the headline is “no”.

Go add the announced price increase to whatever price you find on BestBuy.com? I take your point, but I hardly find it onerous to figure out the new price.

You know you can go buy a 45’ motorhome that weighs multiples of the heaviest SUV, and drive it home on a standard driver’s license? Last time I renewed my WA license, it was online and the eye test for my retirement-aged eyes consisted of

One under-appreciated value of having an EV is that you don't have to buy gas. I’m pretty sure that’s the whole g-damned point of an EV. Who are you thinking needs to be told this?

A “miss”? If you’re looking for self-driving HW in a $25K vehicle, I think you’re “missing” the point.

It’s still a flimsy basis for the case. He didn’t attend the protest nor even knew about it. The motivation wasn’t proven, it’s all in the prosecution’s head for all we know.

…a new state law that goes into effect this July where you'll be fined if you're spotted holding a smartphone by a traffic cam. Wait, what?! I’m at a loss as to the behavior they’re trying to curb with such a law. EDIT: OIC, it’
