Is the 5 watts on an M series Mac?

Profit is not really the way to ascribe value to a method of power production. Otherwise continuing the use of fossil fuels would be the "best" course of action.

Bonus: there will be credible threats to Biden, which means secret service get to enjoy enrichment activities.

The mods of the non-political subs need to move elsewhere, eventually after that the content will just be tankie bullshit and everyone can just defederate them.

Thank god Joe is too stupid to understand endorsing RFK will work against Trump.

I welcome his endorsement and hope he has RFK on his show 10 times before the election.

Now tax him and get the money back.

Missed opportunity to hover this in formation over the penthouse of an oil exec saying “this piece of shit doesn’t care if your children starve”.

My favorite part of China saying Taiwan isn’t a country is where we say we agree but still sell Taiwan hundreds of fighter jets and missiles.

This is just a way to restrict individual freedom from corporate ownership. It's the equivalent of "for the children". If you're against guns don't fall for this bait, support some other legislation.

This would be a non controversy if they just ignored twitter.

Twitter is just the new Parler.

He froze the bank accounts of the freedom convoy because the fundraiser was organized by a white supremicist and someone who wants western Canada to secede. Like literal racist traitors. They arrested members of diagalon during that time, who had staged weapons near coutts.

But Trudeau wore a shitty costume one time so samesies.

We can’t stop this “right vs left nonsense” because the right is trying to exclude from society anyone who isn’t a straight Christian, and are gathering momentum so quickly and deftly people like you don’t even see it because of how removed from reality the right wing information ecosystems are.

Who could’ve guessed an aircraft with a primary goal of dodging current safety regulation would be unsafe?

They would have to drive the anchors deep into the ground to have any effect. The types of anchors I’ve seen on these things are little more than tent stakes to keep it stationary.

I think these need to be strapped to concrete barrels to be safe. Or banned if there is any wind over some limit.

Docker exists because most programming languages don’t give a shit about producing easily executable outputs.

Nobody cares about your stupid python egg or ruby gem. How do I run it on my local?

Intel is a licensed ARM manufacturer. They’re just doing PR but are capable of playing both sides.

I agree, but the right really isn’t good at processing humor or art. In their minds Let’s Go Brandon is still the epitome of satire. It’s playing chess with a pigeon.

I’m just here to chime in and tell you Nissans are trash now, and are a shadow of what they were.

Also none of their AWD systems are any good outside the GTR and their trucks. Their CVT transmissions are fragile and the computer will protect it at all costs. They’ll disengage drive wheels and pull power if any threshold is reached(temp, load, etc)

If AWD is a priority, the only logical choice is an EV. No ICE passenger vehicle AWD system can compare to having a motor per axle, or a motor per wheel. Unfortunately Nissan evs are a joke too.

My short summary is that if you’re serious about wanting awd and want an ice car, get a Subaru. If you’re serious about awd and want an rv, plenty of dual and some tri/quad motor options out there.

If you stick with fwd ice just buy anything but a Nissan or Mitsubishi.

Unfortunately Tesla is still relevant in that you can actually buy a Tesla sedan or suv with very little hassle.

Meanwhile I’ve been on a waitlist for years for a GM EV that has been “launched” but with not a peep about my order.

One of my friends got so dicked around by dealers and waiting he bought a Tesla, and it wasn’t even on his list because of lack of CarPlay.

This article is basically running cover for Candace and Kanye by not quoting what they said.

Problem is OW1 was a fairly ethical implementation of approach #2, but greed got the best of them.

The hilarious part is truth social requires a phone number.

The DACA dodge by pence had me furious. I wish she would have just cut off their mics.

The types of benchmarking needed to measure an individual athletes potential to ensure they aren’t sandbagging would be too costly to implement at anything but the highest levels of athletics.

It is an incredibly complex solution to a non problem.

Let trans athletes compete with cis athletes.

There simply aren’t enough trans athletes for this to be a problem worth considering at a systemic level. At an individual level, if someone lacks the level of self awareness to enter an event where they consistently beat cis women(like if they were an accomplished cis athlete just a few months into transition), then there can be an individual ruling on that person.

Don’t fall for the conservative trap, their hyperbole is engineered (in part) to produce untenable “solutions” from progressives.

There are videos online clearly showing the front crumpling in a crash test.

The main danger to pedestrians over other such trucks is the sharp edges.

The danger to other cars is the same age old problem with SUVs amplified by current battery density.

Betcha the docs suck and you can make them better.

Cool, with this gesture of good will towards kuwaiti Muslims, maybe Kuwait could stop sentencing gay men to 7 years of prison, and stop fining trans people for being trans.

It would be a great exercise in tolerance all around!

Yeah, we shouldn’t make anything expensive in the US. We should make them abroad and then the unemployed hordes will buy those goods!

Your statement is too stupid to be anything but a troll.

Yeah, people keep throwing the Lebanon attacks in the “Gaza Genocide” pile without thinking of implications of the differences in tactics and precision.

Israel could have made a measured, targeted response to the Hamas attack. They looked at their spies, assassins, intelligence, stealth drones, and booby trapped pagers, and put them aside in favor of tens of thousands of bombs.

They chose genocide.

Pat King was the biggest leader of the convoy, he is for sure a white supremicist per his own recorded words.

And why let Tamara collect money to basically fund a civil war?

If you look at the Artemis mission and think starship is the weakest part of the plan, you are simply not being objective.

Meh, they got Alex Jones on more than this and he’s still on the air agitating for terrorism.

How does it feel to always be the smartest person in the room?

Yeah, I think people underestimating Musk is extremely dangerous.

Everyone underestimated Trump too and gave him 24/7 coverage because of how “stupid” he was.

Assume a powerful enemy is intelligent, or you’ll not understand how they got their power and will be perplexed as to how they grow it and how they will abuse it.

Think Different™ (Because we deprecated the service you liked and depended on because an internal team was jockeying for a higher position and rewrote what you loved but worse, so actually you are thinking different every year!)

The anti Biden noise is basically leftist idealists who would rather spend their time fighting other leftists than the alt right, and Russian bots.

I've met a lot of hardcore people way up in the tech hierarchy that rock MacBooks. Like people who maintain popular languages, people who make kernel contributions, people who design CPUs and accelerators.

There are many knowledgeable people who willingly make the choice, understanding the tradeoffs and accepting them. Some people don't want to be fucking with Arch or Kali for hours, or auditing their smartphone's firmware, for the same reason most combat veterans don't walk around wearing a bullet proof vest and a rifle.

Will you meet some hardcore hackers who won't upgrade the kernel until after they audit the changelog of both the kernel AND the compiler they're using? Sure. You'll also meet some people who live in a bunker. They have their valid motives for doing so, and people have valid motives for not doing so.

This is a such a terrible take that you are either unhinged from reality or a right-wing troll.

They transitioned most of their devices to usb save the iPhone before the EU legislation went into effect.

Apple caught shit for going USB-C only on their laptops years ago.

Yeah but how do you wade through the fields of bullshit to find a decent PC laptop? PC manufacturers have like 200 SKUs.

Like I go to dell.com, what’s the best option? Inspiron? Precision? Latitude? Vostro? Which of those lines is “premium”? And each of those lines has like 4 models each. And that’s just one manufacturer.

But ultimately you buy one of those machines, bring it home, boot up windows and get served ads in the fucking start menu.

Meanwhile I bought the lamest laptop in Apple’s lineup for my daughter, and the thing is solid aluminum with a great display, huge trackpad, great battery and lightning fast processor.
