Correct, it doesn’t need it, but that doesn’t mean they won’t use it. They will use any data of spurious quality if it supports their agenda. Ergo, it’s not useless - it has a use for a rather evil purpose.
You keep inserting the word “need” when I never said that. It’s optional, but it enhances the effectiveness if they can point to a number and say “see, we’ve got data.”
No, but the falsified data isn’t useless just because it isn’t aligning with reality. It’ll absolutely be suitable for propaganda purposes.
That’s hardly useless. If everyone is blonde haired and blue eyed hetero etc. they have even more justification to cut programs that benefit anyone outside this demographic.
I think even that gives them too much credit. It’s just incompetence.
The US “did 9/11” by interfering with global affairs for decades until one of those schemes finally backfired.
I don’t think there’s any conspiracy necessary beyond that to explain everything.
I don’t get the last one and feel pretty dumb at the moment.
Screwball, crackpot… leaky faucet?
Prove what? I’m merely relaying the info from the article you didn’t read.
HEVC is damn efficient. I don’t even bother with HD because a 4K HDR encode around 5-10GB looks really good and streams well for my remote users.
If you read RTINGS before buying a TV and setting it up in your room, you already knew this. Screen size and distance to TV are important for determining what resolution you actually need.
Most people sit way too far away from their 4K TV.
I’m just pointing out that it’s not IR blocking, it’s IR reflecting.
The idea is it reflects IR and blows out the exposure.
Yeah, you might as well turn off your antivirus and firewall seeing as those can be bypassed by a skilled actor anyways.
You could say the exact same thing about the smartest people being able to spread their message, and the two effects cancel out.
Same age as any other, more or less. These are human problems that won’t be fixed until we’re no longer human.
Nope, humans have always been stupid. People said the same shit when the printing press was invented, or TV, or whatever.
Seriously, crack a history book. Modern times are actually pretty good, even with all the bullshit.
That Harvard article is what I linked above. It’s where I found that the HEPA filter on the intake works well to reduce bacterial spread.
Given the issue is fixed by putting HEPA filters on the intake of the dryers, it indicates the bacteria is coming from the air in the bathroom, not wet hands.
Why is there bacteria on your hands after you just washed them and rinsed with clean water?
It’s actually the opposite- the issue is they shoot bacteria onto your newly cleaned hands.

Yeah, it wins by default. I have to say though, I’ve had one for years now and aside from it noticing it not able to bitstream Dolby TrueHD (decoded internally and sent as LPCM) or play some forms of Dolby Vision content (falls back to HDR10), it’s worked flawlessly as a media appliance. Some minor connection issues with screen mirror airplay from laptop to TV or music airplay from phone to TV but not enough to keep me away. I have the first gen 4k and if a family member needed a streaming box I’d buy a used one off eBay and a new remote. A solid setup for cheap.
Set him up with NextDNS then.
Wow, has it really been that long?
I’m not saying that they’re changing the census for the purposes of propaganda, but if the data happens to suit the narrative they’re pushing, they’re not just going to ignore the data they’ve already collected from their poorly run census.
The first thing you said is “This makes census data useless”
I don’t think that it does, even if it’s garbage data. If it fits their narrative, they will use it to support their propaganda. It’s already paid for, thus it’s basically free.
Absolutely not. The best propaganda is true (or at least, appears to be true and supported by data). If there’s data to support their position, it will absolutely be used to strengthen their position. Ergo, if the census data says America is now skewing towards white, hetero, etc, because of their stupid changes, it will absolutely be used to further their agenda. They’re not going to waste it.
The data being incorrect doesn’t make it useless.
