Low markups wouldn't be the main issue in the EU, though it would help. It's labor cost because it takes skill, specialized tools, and time. If the shop could replace the battery w…

I replaced my phone because of the battery life, and I would have replaced the battery if it would have been easy, to offer a counter anecdote. I had to make the choice of getting …

Have you had issues because of wear and tear? I trust the water proofing completely until my phone has fallen out of my hands onto the floor. Then I won't chance any submersion and…

I assume OP thinks more like me: the EU will move to the next standard in a reasonable amount of time after it's available. I'll be the first to complain if the new standard isn't …

Do groups still manage to release things before their official release or is that over now that physical media isn’t as prevalent? Any noteworthy examples in the past five years?

Paying doesn’t have the legal justification requirements that asking does, and it’s faster.

I’m probably overlooking something, but if you have insider info, you just bet on that info with certainty. Why would you need to create a different outcome to bet on it? If I know…

The argument against abandoning soft power is that it's going to cost a lot more in hard power to maintain the same status. We'll see how it plays out.

Totally anecdotal but I had a bad burn on my foot and I thought I could manage it with otc stuff. It kept getting worse so I went to have it checked out and was prescribed the silv…

The Wish more likely suffers from being a car where they shoehorned in a screen to seem more advanced for the time, while keeping the physical controls. Nowadays screens are being …

Someone who prints something for a third party isn’t selling ad space. Everyone could self promote, they just couldn’t contract someone to do it for them. Employees could promote f…

I haven’t given it enough thought, but would a ban on selling ad space do the trick? You can self promote, but you can’t pay third parties to do it for you and you can’t sell it as…

I wonder if they just prioritize big companies who they either have agreements with or are scared could actually cause them serious legal trouble, and deny everyone else as much as…

There’s no power network that holds capacity for the chance of future demand. They add capacity as the demand increases, because the money comes in to pay for it. These AI datacent…

The reason these series always get compared is because Indy’s tight rules make it less compelling while F1’s more open rules make it less competitive. WEC (and IMSA a bit) solve th…

In general, advertising seeks to manipulate. It is not at all based on trying to link people’s needs and wants to those who provide that.

Yes, pretty much. It has enough of a warning.

I don’t think it has much to do with being named. It’s the assumption that most people have that what they’re reading is being said by someone whose opinion they would actually val…

I would have them split the laws up as separate entities but let them vote on a package of laws under one vote. I feel the current rules against earmarking has made it so they nego…

25Mbps is extremely fast in relation to the benefits when browsing the web of better image compression options than JPEG.

I imagine even for professional teams with clients that need proper translations, LLMs have made it so one person can do the work of many. The difference between the quality of for…

Here is a performance before Lennon; way better in my opinion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bU4tCw2u_hg edited with a better link.

As a counterpoint, I know when Florida introduced their state lottery it really affected their other forms of legal gambling. This had the downside of killing off venues which empl…
