Re: uninformed

>> "the Hunter laptop stuff in 2020"

What stuff? If there was any "stuff", then Republicans would have ZERO issues with Hunter testifying publicly in an open court. They would literally want him to spill the beans in order to destroy his father's chances at re-election. But they don't. They now want it held behind closed doors, despite agreeing to public testimony 3 months ago.

You mean your safe space where you complain about imigrants should go back to where they came from, while flying the flag of an army who never won a war, while being in the very country that army failed to win the war against.

Grab the right lever too quickly, and you'll be head over heels with them.

Re: Interesting lines from the article

They won't lose money, but they will sell at cost plus tax in order to shift older inventory. As you could imagine, a car yard with very static inventory does not instill confidence.

Or lack of comprehension from you. Everyone used to buy ICE vehicles. Now they have an option of EV. When you look at the percentage of EV vs ICE cars sold, it's obvious that the percentage of EV cars sold is growing, while the percentage of ICE cars is dropping. Ergo, EV sales are rising faster than ICE.

Re: Wot!

Yeah, yeah, let Elon sue MM for "defamation". Elon will have to open up Twitter to discovery, which will show MM has truth as their defence.

As for being investigated by two states, I can only see that Elon's buddies in Texas have started one. Or do you honestly think it's coincidental that only Elon's mates are investigating?

When I say house, it were really just a hole in the ground covered by a sheet of tarpaulin, but it was a house to us.

Re: This is not the first time this has "accidently" happened

PiHole works for Youtube, as long as you view via a browser. When you use the app, it serves ads directly from Youtube servers, making blocking them a game of whack-a-mole.

Re: Wait, what?

Just wait until the gambling advertisers realise how much they are universally despised, and everyone starts shutting off their adverts. Doubly so the ones where yanks try and do am aussie accent. Fuck off Shaq.

Re: Think

No "investigative journalist" would take direction from anyone on how to write their article. "Reporters" on the other hand......

Surely you jest. I didn't think Texas was progressive enough to elect a woman.

Re: Engineers and public relations

> This was a completely dismissive and douchie thing to say. This is why we need Tom Smykowskis in the world.

And in this world where "GOTCHA" moments seem to take precedence over actual fucking news, it is the correct response.

Re: What's with

Because if companies can get low power ARM devices that run their SOE, they'll buy them for the savings in power consumption. Save the high power x64 gear for devs, CAD/CAM, graphics etc.

Re: Who can you trust...

You can trust me with your secrets,

You can trust me with your gear,

But the worst mistake

That you can make

Is to trust me with your beer.

- Far too many choices for a simple coin flip. Most of us use a randomising script.

Re: is that good?

The Mele Q3 is a mini-PC with passive cooling, running N5105 and similar. The external case gets up to about 2.5 Hiltons during light loads, and up to 4 Hiltons during updates, and applying said updates is glacial.

I agree, He's doing a wonderful job of breaking things that weren't broken to begin with.

Thanks for the laugh. I needed that.

Re: Annoyances

Shutup10, Win10DeBloater, DISM++, Revo, and a few reg tweaks, and it's almost usable.

Re: Money

A business is not a person, and thus the 1st should not apply to them. Shame corrupt judges decided to whore themselves out to billionaires.

Vaccines are never heralded as a silver bullet, except by anti-vaxxers who claim they don't work because people can still get infected.

Anyone with half a brain cell knows they are a risk-reduction tool, not risk removal.
