Apple got in trouble because they made the processor in the phone get slower as the battery got older, not for any of these 80% battery optimization things (which they also support now, but it was added after their scandal of slowing the processors down)

They also didn’t inform the user, so there was no way an average user could know they could restore their device’s old performance with a simple battery replacement

If an attacker gets access to your system, they will be able to ensure you can’t get rid of their access

It will persist across operating system installs

However, this requires them to get access first

Not to mention that even in the 60’s Nixon’s cabinet has stated he specifically started the war on drugs and marijuana in order to imprison black people and anyone against the war.

“We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news”

Ohhhh I read the congee statement as you shouldn’t eat it, not that you should

Now I understand. Thanks!

Not exactly - I’m wondering if 酸粥 is being discouraged, while the Han are still eating 稀飯

Do you know what the link to Uyghur is?

The Han Chinese people I know from Shaanxi still seem to eat congee regularly

Is there something lost in translation that the Uyghur style congee is different than the Han style or something?

If it used to be a valid website, and is now a scam, that’s a mole worth whacking - even if they’ll try again with a previously unknown url

Is anyone familiar with what they define as “exercising their freedom of expression”?

With the total number of people imprisoned globally for exercising their freedom of expression estimated to be at least 339

339 globally sounds extremely low to me

On top of that, another problem that was reported last total solar eclipse is that your eyes will dilate because it looks dark

Enough of the UV radiation will still reach them, though, and especially right as the sun comes back into view, while your eyes are even more vulnerable than normal while they’re dilated

The article you’re responding to specifically states he didn’t have sirens on

Nearly every computer you use, including the ones people are starting to use for self-driving, can have their memory accidentally modified from cosmic rays

We try really hard to protect spaceships from them, since they’re subject to more

However, due to the law of large numbers, sometimes your computer will get random bit flips - where it should be a 0, but it’s instead a 1, or vice versa

To take it to another level - that’s why he’s saying “HDMI” - it’s a question

If he was right, he’d have said “HD, I am”

Idk if they’ll be any good, but I thought this was interesting as a manual car driver when I saw it.

Toyota, however, has patented a way to provide the look and feel of a manual transmission in an electric car. … The car’s torque and performance will be altered as you “shift” to provide the feel of a gas-powered vehicle.

I’d still switch to an EV either way once I have a way to charge it at home

Want to share a couple of the Japanese art ones? I’d like to have something like that in my feed

I think the main complaints came from running Amazon searches when you searched in Unity’s dash

Searching for something locally could unintentionally send searches to the internet

They’re removed now that Unity is gone, though

30 Rock had it as a running gag

I mean, I guess he succeeded

There was a fun one, ExplainAFilmPlotBadly, where you gave text descriptions that are technically correct, but misleading

I could be wrong, but my understanding was it’s only for monthly plans. I don’t think there are any automatic refunds for lifetime subscribers
