How can they honestly present a chart like that when they are the ones serving the content on the feeds?

From the article: Owned by Restaurant Brands International of which the Brazilian investment firm 3G owns ~25%, Canadian groups own ~25% and the two US groups mentioned own ~15% to…

There are a few different systems out there, I haven't seen one in person, but they seem like interesting ideas. I found some searching "Circulating Multi-car Elevator System"

The inflation rate has come down significantly from a huge spike in 2022. Seems like we are making progress.

If you just want to look in the US, their other similar project seems to be working OK. https://river-runner.samlearner.com/

Yeah, I have an older LG and it has a disappointingly simple 4k fireworks visualization when it "sleeps" that always makes me wish I could create a custom replacement.

Lol, also rep. Jeff Van Drew claiming without evidence that the drones are coming from an Iranian mothership off the coast.

Sure, to me it seems overly verbose in ways that are not relevant to the article. 6 GHz i9-14900K CPU Nvidia GTX 1080 GPU 96 GB of DDR5 RAM ASRock Z790 Pro RS Motherboard Crucial T…

What? I really like Win 7 but it is for sure one of the best early examples of a "candy" ui. The close button looks like a jolly rancher and everything is glassy looking. If you ar…

Thanks for the clarification, that was the post I read. I think it would look better if they did a cheap shadow like N64 Zelda which starts from the feet instead of the centered ci…

I've always thought Valorant looked like crap because the players don't cast shadows. Just found out the other day that it's because other player model positions aren't sent to the…

I tried to get T-Mobile to unlock my far out of contract iphone 6s a few years ago, which should be super simple. The first time I talked to a rep and confirming everything they sa…

Strange. I've been using Inkscape to make vector art on Windows and Ubuntu with various hardware for years and while I don't think it's ever running at 100+ fps it's totally usable…

I just installed 1.4 to check and it now appears to keep the font you've chosen.

$1 tip per prepared drink seems OK, tipping bartenders a similar amount is pretty standard.

I have no idea, there is a severe lack of graphic context in these articles about a specific architectural detail. In the original article it looks like people are standing by the …

Ha, was looking for this, just read 3 articles about these columns without a picture of the layout. Resorted to a video tour, are you sure it wasn't the larger ones here? https://i…

Neat, you could pair this with a paint program and display vector graphics.

Yeah, it seems like a promotion for Cosmos. I saw some planet drawings by Andreas Cellarius from 1660 on the default page that included "(not openly licensed)" in the info text. Ev…

Looks like it was IBM System/360 mainframes but they've recently migrated to google hosted services.

Ha, I have a good engineer friend who often plays devil's advocate and he sometimes seems to reflexively respond with a disagreeing statement even if he is agreeing with the majori…

Maybe Kaleidoscope? There was also the built in Appearance Manager, but it wasn't supported after Jobs returned around 8.5 and wanted a more consistent interface.

At least it compressed well, which must have saved network resources during the update. :)

Totally with you. Pre-check is an ugly band-aid on a flawed system.
