While I’m not optimistic, there does seem to be a movement away from protecting US IP since the trump tariffs broke the compact. Lots of media on here about people and companies and government seeking digital sovereignty/independence.
So it could chip away gradually.
Does it need to be in the city, though?
Also for reference from Google ai: For global electricity needs: An area of approximately 40,000 to 55,000 square kilometers (about 15,000 to 21,000 square miles) could theoretically generate the world’s total electricity consumption. This is less than 1% of the total land area of the United States. For total global energy needs: The estimated area is around 497,000 square kilometers (about 192,000 square miles), roughly the size of Spain. This covers the total projected energy demands, including converting non-electric needs (like transport fuel) to solar-generated power.
Modular is better for repair, but not cheapest to produce or space saving. So, people naturally choose the cheaper, more compact design.
The whole idea of copyright was to prevent people profiting from your design innovations. If the only purpose your design causes is preventing competition, then it should lose protection in my view.
So, for instance making printer ink incompatible with copy protection serves no benefit to the owner. So it should lose protection. There needs to be a balance to protect creatives, but in the rapidly changing age, the time and scope should be dramatically reduced. No technical innovations from 10 years ago need to be protected.
Its less about developing immunity and more about promoting the beneficial bacteria and having less harmful bacteria.
Poor diets promote bad bacteria. Probiotic and probiotic containing diets promote the good. Certainly having good immunity is beneficial, but having the beneficial bacteria promote better immunity before any toxins or infections are introduced.
Yes, but different probiotics seem to help different people and research is inconclusive a out which would help to be a supplement. Instead, a probiotic environment seems to be best. So, fermented foods and pickled foods can be beneficial.
I think it’s both chicken and egg. It’s more expensive to repair relative to replace now, so often it’s more economical to replace. This leads to less repair knowledge and services, so increases cost, making replacement easier etc. Many times are more complex and so what used to be repaired with simple tools and know how, now requires specialized tools and proprietary replacement parts. Supply chains being just-in-time for production means many parts are not stocked for repair, which also slows everything down too.
Avoiding processed food, like that high in sugars. Having probiotics and probiotics, which is things like yoghurts and fermented foods like kimchi, kombucha and sauerkraut.
Happy guts also like exercise to help move things along and most people have too little fibre from fruits vegetables and nuts. So increase fibre and get your 7 a day.
Alcohol is a general irritant and should be limited or avoided. For more complex answers, look into FODMAPs as well, which can be a problem for some people.
So, overall, less stodgy complex carbs, more fresh fruit and veg. Mostly the same as what is better for heart health, but with added probiotics!
Dot com bubble was optimistic. AI bubble is pessimistic. People thought their lives would improve due to improved communication and efficiency. The internet was seen as a positive thing. The dot com bubble was more about monetizing it, but that wasn’t the zwitgeist. With AI people don’t see much benefits and are aware it’s purpose is to take their jobs.
With the dot com bubble, it was mainly mom and pop investors that were worst off, but many companies died. With AI bubble it seems like it’s the companies that will do worst when it crashes. Obviously, it affects everyone, but this skews more to the 1%. So hopefully it’s a lesson on greed. Unlikely though.
With open architecture, it should be possible for Linux on a ps5 to be just as good as ps5 software for taking advantage of the hardware.
It’s why open hardware is the next hurdle. It’s already starting to happen with routers and open drivers but it’s far from as good for open cpus etc.
With open hardware, we could start to eliminate security concerns about using American/Chinese/whatever hardware or software as it could all be verified. I think it’s partly why Linux is gaining steam. An open background allows anyone to build on what’s come before. Proprietary stuff only allows those with access to improve or start from scratch.
Linux is more mature and so building on the past builds new features, where windows can only lock down and try to gain revenue. They know they are losing. I am wondering if this is part of the push for ai as it would be harder to run at home. Not forever though.
You can set a pin as an alternative. Pin would be easier to brute force but no different to a password when forcefully unlocked by coersion.
Only if your phone is locked to your carrier. On which case, you were already bound to them and their policies.
I have esims from an international provider when I travel. My phone is unlocked.
Just like lots more parasitic parts of society that depend on the network effect. Amazon, Facebook, political parties, uber etc etc.
Sorry, must have spellchecked. Vikunja was indeed what I meant.
Vikings has a man an option and also allows task assignment to family members.
Roblox is child grooming heaven. Not a win.
LG has both so it keeps your options open. Some tvs don’t have either or both and you need a seperate box to act as your client.
Some people prefer not to connect their smart tv and instead connect a box they have more control over. I find the LG app to be perfectly good for me and prefer to keep it simple and just block other network access.
I have an LG. They have a jellyfin app. Just block the access to other stuff and it’s fine, if not actually good.
I don’t use or need a seperste streaming box. I don’t get data mining or ads.
I thought you meant the ice storm and I was thinking it’s not the kind of movie to put you in the Christmas mood! Very heavy but a good movie nonetheless. I think it’s set after Thanksgiving rather than before Christmas but there are stereotypical festive parties in it.

If they are investing huge amounts of money and not seeing a return on that investment, maybe they will stop churning out microtransaction slop if it keeps failing.
Probably not, but one can hope.
Not unless you already use them. Then it’s a confirmation bias list that is functionally useless to you!
