This argument sucks! Just because you can't figure out how to use it, doesnt mean there aren't 50,000,000 legit uses or future uses that nobody has thought of. Build it and they will come... If people had crazy fast network speeds

Restricting uploads ensures that you can't use any peer to peer applications to their full potential. In other words, it keeps you dependent on cloud services and other value bullshit add-ons. Why would I need cloud storage if I could

If you go back to their roots, they weren't racing sports cars, but regular sedans and coupes. In this day and age, that means they'd be racing around in a bunch of crossovers with CVTs. Oh an no safety equipment like roll cages,

There's only a few thousand satellites up in orbit right now. Maybe 4000-5000? Half of them are on the other side of the planet at any given time... The service is already strained in a lot of areas. It's not gonna be easy to give

They should be careful with the term "Traffic Calming" as that is a term that describes using red lights and obstacles to make people stop more frequently and supposedly drive slower through the city. Many cities are doing this, d

This is such a tired old trope. Nobody who runs a business is going to just throw random Linux distros on random laptops. You buy a laptop that is supported with the OS that comes on it. You get the laptop, turn it on and it works. You must

At one point when they had OneDrive for Business, and regular OneDrive. Regular OneDrive kept installing itself into Windows 10, and confused the fuck out of everybody, and some people were even using personal accounts to sign into it becau

In this case the law has already been written. It's not a CARB-approved, nor EPA compliant engine. You're not allowed to run it on the street. The law is written so that everything you do to a car's emission system is illegal

What are you going to do, cut up your gold into tiny bits to give to people? Gonna keep a scale with you and weigh it out exactly based on the market rate? It seems pretty useless for spending on supplies and food if you ask me.

Then you can just write it down. You don't have to use the imprint, it's just to help reduce error and make it a bit faster.

Just like temperature. F is easier for me to relate to. 0 is very cold. 100 is very hot. We like it pretty warm, so 70-72 is great. Also F has a much finer scale for adjustments. I don't have to set my thermostat to 22.5 degrees to be

Have you seen how to steal a Honda built between 1972 and 2000? You get a key from any other Honda, and jiggle it, and off you go.

Nobody even knows what an immobilizer is or how it works. They put key in car and go. People don't even read the manuals that come with the car. Most people don't even read signs along the freeways while they're driving. This

Where on earth do you sit in traffic that doesn't burst up above 40mph every now and then? It's called stop and go, not go consistently below 40mph. Sounds like this wasn't well thought out. In LA, you'd be in traffic go

I cancelled Prime, and I always still get free shipping. Yes it's longer than 2 days, but a lot of the time it arrives early anyways. I really feel like it is better without Prime. I get more "early arrivals" now and I used t

Additional anecdata. I've never had a USB-C issue. I have like 20 USB-C devices, even some super cheap-ass shit and none of them have ever had problems. Some of my lightning shit has loose connection problems, and sometimes they don&#x

How much safer are newer cars than older cars? Only real comparison I have seen is that video of an old 50s car vs a 2000s car crashing head on. Sure cars from the 50s are not gonna a be great... but how old of a car would you not buy?

LexisNexis makes money taking pictures of me in my car, tagging location data to it and selling that data back to other businesses like Lawyers and Insurance companies. I never signed a release.
