The article covers this: > Sadly, having a microSD Express card slot on the Raspberry Pi 5 does not make a lot of sense at this point due to the cost of MicroSD Express card. An M.…

Why is it anyone's "problem"? Nobody said they're being forced to do it this way - just that they are. And I guarantee that there are thousands of other companies out there that ha…

The unibody design, while still bad, actually seems to be a bit of a red herring in this case. The article describes that the actual cause for disassembling the entire vehicle was …

I don't follow. No special support channel was opened up here. The u/AWSSupport user just linked them to the standard "get account support" link that everyone else uses. I'd also n…

I don't see how this is a failure at all. Amazon Pay and Stripe are not competitors. Amazon Pay is a customer-facing service that makes it easier for customers to enter their credi…

They aren't giving up on Amazon Pay. There's misunderstanding in this thread about what this announcement is. Amazon Pay and other payments products from Amazon are customer-facing…

The original statement from Lufthansa mentioned that Airtags fall under the category of "Dangerous Goods". "Dangerous Goods" is a term used by the ICAO to refer to batteries or ite…

Various airline regulatory bodies have rules that prohibit both devices that transmit wireless signals being carried in the cargo hold, as well as devices that have batteries being…

Sure, which is why the entire "productivity" discussion is a bit speculative. I note that in the OP article, productivity of any kind is not cited as a reason for the return to off…

Correlation does not imply causation. A company achieving "record profits" does not necessarily have to be because there was no drop in productivity. It's entirely possible that a …

Personal productivity isn't the same as organizational productivity. This is one of the key things at the heart of the WFH discussion. It's entirely possible that you personally wr…

> The public sector builds the infrastructure, often following decades of investment and work. It does? I don't think I follow. In your list of components, every single one of thos…

This gets overlooked a lot in the outrage porn of "Texas bad". Every single adjacent grid to Texas was also suffering from rolling or consistent blackouts during last year's Februa…

It would not need to cede any authority. The Texas grid already has interconnects with the East, West, and Mexico grids at four different interconnections, and imports/exports elec…

"it's not even hot yet" what? May 2022 is on track to be the hottest May on record in Texas. It's already hitting over 100 degrees in most of Texas. It does not typically get this …

>FIDO weakens security by limiting authentication to just something you have (a device/USB token) and something you are (biometrics) while throwing out the requirement for somethin…

I think AWS App Runner (+ Aurora Serverless) could be even better. From what I can tell, App Runner is supposed to be the successor to Elastic Beanstalk and AWS's PaaS offering. Ap…

>You've inverted the dependency of the relationship. People don't buy Nabisco because it's at Target; they go to Target because it has Nabisco products, hopefully for cheaper than …

This is not universally true. Slotting fees and shelf rental agreements are a thing in Europe, just like they are in the US.

>No they don't. Stores buy their stock. They can choose to stock other brands or to make their own products, but they invariably have to purchase what they sell. This is incorrect.…

I don't think they are outliers. I know quite a few people who have attempted the "covid digital nomad" lifestyle (and I myself have some experience as a nomad pre-covid), and alth…

I can't tell either. On one hand, this article seems like a response to the hundreds of other articles, instagram posts, blogs, etc we've seen over the past several months that end…

>Unless it's free of DRM and easily copied, backed up, moved, etc, Even in most of these cases you don't legally own it, either. Even when you buy a DVD, you are just buying a lice…
