And here I am, just planning on going to Mint or something whenever win 10 support finally actually ends. I had Ubuntu like 15 years ago for a while, but I’m at a point where I want to do less learning about my operating system.

Well there’s your shady gray bit right in the definition. Is it unlawful to lie about your birthday?

Some stairs don’t have different looking risers, but you’re still correct because you can see wear marks from steps on the carpet.

It kind of isn’t. The EU is giving the cell companies guidelines on how they should test their batteries, and then report their numbers back to the EU. So “Apple” are testing their apple phones and then telling the EU their alleged numbers.

Doesn’t mean they use the same chemistry. There’s a lot of different lithium batteries.

Samsung isn’t even using the latest\greatest tech in cell phone batteries. The Redmagic 10 pro uses a silicon-carbon anode based battery in a dual cell form. It means fast charging is split between 2 batteries so there’s less battery damage on a recharge, and the chemistry is more energy dense.

Also, it seems the cell phone companies self assess the tests and report them to the EU, so take the whole thing with a grain of salt.

Yeah, but when I was a kid back in the 80’s and saw them in the mail order catalogs, I completely believed they were just head and neck massagers.

Ours was very mixed with boys and girls. It was the easiest required fine at credit to get in order to graduate. The art class at our School sucked. It was more like an art history class and you had to write more papers than English class.

All your examples are of things that were stopped while at school, so your argument doesn’t really carry over. You still had your pokemon cards everywhere else.

Doesn’t that mean there’s no ownership and it can be freely taken?

They will cut off electricity if you do something illegal with it…

Too bad LG got out of the phone biz. They had the best dacs and some good phones.

Japan is open about all the weird shit people should keep private, and private about a lot of things the rest of the world would talk to a stranger about.

That means the audio still goes through another DAC, lowering the sound quality, compared to an analog 3.5 jack. Also, who wants to further risk wearing out\vreaking their charge port, jack inputs almost seem like they can’t break.

Bro; Kudos for choosing a year where it could have legit been Henry the 8ths milk.

I’m not saying the US isn’t shit with for profit prisons, but I’m not believing shit for any number that China provides on pretty much anything.

Yeah, but I still feel like the majority of people are stupid. That’s kind of how apple got such a huge market share to begin with. People just happily locked themselves in to a closed garden with shit for options.

No. If you’re lucky, you could take the phone apart and reconnect the ribbon connector that goes from the display to the board and it will be fixed. More likely the display is damaged and would need replaced. No chance a lighter will fix it.

The article pointedly says that non violent protests were more successful because a lot more people were involved than in the violent protests.

“This was partly the result of strength in numbers. Chenoweth argues that nonviolent campaigns are more likely to succeed because they can recruit many more participants from a much broader demographic, which can cause severe disruption that paralyses normal urban life and the functioning of society.”

In other words, violent protests work better, but they lack the amount of people.

Rocks?
