As the law is written, the latest iPhones, for example, would be compliant (battery is replaceable with commercially available tools under the self-repair program), and they are co…

Define "budding system that was working". Before the ACA, the number of uninsured Americans was around 50 million and insurance companies routinely denied coverage or charge higher…

To be fair, Meta is also not the first company to launch smart glasses with a display. But the reality of it is that it's probably still to early to say if these devices will have …

I've heard employees use the measurements app in their iPhones sometimes to adjust in the mornings, but having a sensor in the laptop lid seems like a much easier way to do it and …

I'm assuming so. Apparently it's an angle that "invites" people to use the computers, but I don't think there's anything specific about 76 degrees that makes it better than, say, 7…

At Apple Stores, laptops screens have to be opened exactly at 76 degrees. I wonder if they use this sensor and specific software for adjustment (I'm not implying this is the only r…

It is iffy but serviceable. In this case, seems like Octopath Traveller 2 Windows version works well with GPTK. I haven't tried but Whisky, or Porting Kit should be able to handle …

If it runs on Linux, it should be fairly easy to run it on MacOS through the Game Porting Toolkit. Crossover (or Porting Kit if you don't want to pay for Crossover) should handle i…

Argentina and US are very different countries, starting these cuts with very different economic realities. For example, 55% of all registered workers are employed by the government…

I don't think that's what DOGE is doing. Seems extremely vindictive and ideological in the way it's acting and time will tell but I would not be surprised if it ends costing the ta…

There is fat, but I'd venture not much on the CDC, FEMA or USAID. A big part of this mess is that fat is concentrated on areas that are very unpopular to cut, like military expendi…

I wish that was the case. Coincidentally, I live in Atlanta, also within the city (ITP, close to Piedmont Park) and all my neighborhood has above ground power transmission. Coming …

The links actually cover this, since EIA tracks major events in power disruptions and separates them in the graph. US network is still orders of magnitude worse than Germany.

Ollama is pretty clear about it, it's not like they are trying to deceive. You can also download the 671B model with Ollama, if you like.

No the same case. Donald Trump's account was banned due to his role in inciting an insurrection but you could still find republican content posted by other users with hashtags. I'd…

This is a very unlikely scenario, given how many hashtags were blocked and how specific they were.
