The public must gain it's share of the revenue for allowing a private company to use public domain IP exclusively.

Hold a yearly auction to see who is granted rights to the property which is now the public's.

Rest in peace Suzanne.

Her character and the thighmaster commercial often positioned her as a punchline, but I will always appreciated her spirit which had a Dolly Parton like quality - there was only love for her.

Having said that, October 16 is her Birthday (today) which she would have been 77. Mathematically living exactly 77 years on earth. (Assuming she had lived past her birth time of day yesterday.)

The messaging coming from Budenov, the Ukrainian head of intelligence:

“We have the ability to hit any part of the temporarily occupied Crimea as of now. Absolutely at any point we can get the enemy. Those who have done stupid things, it’s better for them to leave,”

“And those who are waiting must prepare and do everything to help, first of all, the intelligence agencies, and then further, when the troops go into the open.”

Psyops for sure, but part of me wants it to happen. Now with this battery gone it definitely sets the stage.

After personally speaking to a Taiwanese engineer working for TSMC in AZ, there is a major cultural difference, it shouldn't be overlooked.

People forget though, Intel is also expanding their plant in Chandler so this project is competiting for workers from within a diminished work force against a huge competitor. Intel doesn't need to be told how to pay and run US based capital projects.

If anything TSMC should be embarrassed they couldn't successfully forecast a huge capital project to completion. That's where the lack of competency and blame should be placed.

I have no problem with craft beer or the people who make it.

Just stop with the endless IPAs.

Here we go again.

Lawmakers: put back doors in end to end encryption.

Tech sector: we can't.

Lawmakers: think of the children.

Tech sector: it's math, if we weaken the tech, nothing is private.

Lawmakers: yes, or leave the market.

Tech sector: ok.

This has been playing out since the Clinton administration and the idea there, which failed was key escrow. Key escrow still isn't a solution becase the code is, now, open source.

The lawmakers want the public to have less privilege than the criminals, or they want the entire population to act as criminals by using freely available software. This shows no forethought.

These writers are on fire 🔥. After S5:E4 it gets even better. Loved the ending. Thoughts?

Developer be praised!

When you zoom into an image and move it to an image boundary Connect no longer exits zoom mode.

That was extremely frustrating.

So I found this one up by accident while watching a video. The volume control was inoperative. I exited the video and found that volume up and down now controlled page up and down. Exiting the application. The volume control returns.

Maybe this is a feature??

I'm on a Pixel 7A.

This such a honest post. It looks like you made the best of the situation. If this chair is uncomfortable I imagine the original design may also be uncomfortable since it shares the same angles. When you have guests over you can always insist they try out your craftsmanship.

I mean, haven't you heard the discussions around PC vs Console?

It's a tongue-in-cheek commentary of the vitriol surrounding that discussion, at least that was my take.

The US GDP is now $25tn vs EU GDP of $19.8tn with UK. Without the UK the EU is 50%.

Fellow Jerboa user here - it's basic but it has everything needed. Currently I'm in a remote French Polynesian island and it's perfectly responsive.
