Who said anything about a low res backlit screen? And if you read monitors and screens all day, it may be an issue, but with dark mode reading it is fine. The devices I am talking about have about twice the PPI as a 22/24 inch 1080p monitor. There are cheap e-readers that have atrocious resolutions but the tablets I am talking about are fine, but not as good as EInk.

If you can get an Onyx Boox tablet used by a first adopter that it wasn’t right for, it has the best of all worlds. Open, Android, EInk, large screen, and can be used to bang out content and read email. Other than that I would just get a downmarket but new Android Tablet and use it as a dedicated eBook and audio book/podcast device. The screen isn’t ideal but you can get a stock android tablet for $150 bucks us and use Caliber on it along with all the typical android stuff. Hell you might even be able to get a Linux tablet that would fit your needs but cost a little more. But if you go tablet the devices tend to be a bit more open to sideloading.

Even Tommy Douglas thought that the mice would elect cats. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqgOvzUeiAA

CLICKBAIT the theory goes “if given an infinite amount of time, a monkey pressing keys on a typewriter would eventually write the complete works of William Shakespeare.” and then they say that would take longer than the universe would exist. SEE THE ORIGINAL QUOTE… INFINITE TIME. Also that is if it went through every combination. Due to Random Chance it could happen the 3rd try of you doing it.

This is a nothing burger of a story about some mathematicians that crunched some of the numbers involved and didn’t like what they saw.

Awww, Muffin.

Oh, they rebooting One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest?

AIUI those were already partially in the can when he was still charged and they stuck by the “Innocent until proven guilty in a court of law” especially since he is voicing the role and not appearing as a face actor. I don’t expect that to be continued and I would expect a death or recasting soon.

Good luck getting hired after a Jan 6th conviction.

All you have to know is that when Twitch banned Gambling Streams, and some of the people who made bank on those streams started to complain about Twitch, a couple of guys behind large gambling sites decided to open their own streaming platform called “Kick” that gives a much better cut of advertising and allowed gambling streams, and got allot of bottom of the barrel (but not all of them) streamers, especially the ones who have been banned off of other services but were popular.

Supposedly they have been getting better with their enforcement, and started getting better detection, but then their is all the stuff that comes with gambling too.

You know when the streaming platform that is known for gambling and being the last refuge of streamers and D-List Celebs, along with a few people who don’t care about anything but the higher cut, has more class than you, even if it was scripted, or worse it was him paying her off because she was poor and homeless.

3 day ban? I am sorry that should read 3 year ban.

It is one of its co-founders offering so it isn’t 100% clear either way where it is coming from.

Well that is because Brave has been doing it longer, and Vivaldi only has about 30 devs across all the platforms, which is a fraction of Brave, although Brave has its issues as well, just not in the adblock department. I have found that if you use the uBlock block lists it is most of the way there, but it is not ready yet and I think that Vivaldi will have to consider picking up some dedicated devs. Also it is a ‘Vivaldi Thing’ to launch things piece mail and get those pieces working fully before adding on the rest of it. Then over time it gets good. But Vivaldi has come a LONG way when it comes to aggressive adblock detection.

That being said right now YouTube is detecting it and it is dumping the most manpower and money into this. When it does work you can pretty much use it across the web and the few cases that it doesn’t work usually OK just to pause it for a while and you won’t get too many ads.

However if Mv3 comes out and they haven’t gotten their act together I am going to Firefox or Brave, as much as I don’t like how they do business. Then there will be the Google Search thing running through the courts and we will see how Fx and Br come out and change their model.

Vivaldi is including its own adblock outside of the manifest system that uses many of the same blocklists that uBlock does (although at this point you have to add them manually) and hopes to get near the same functionality by the time it is pulled and Mv3 is implemented. They originally had plans to offer a Mv2 compliant area but after seeing how Mv3 was going to be implemented, they changed there plans to many users dismay.

Not Lying. The vast amount of the stories of people trapped in their Tesla when they loose power are drivers and are alone. So this is what the manual says the person who is in that situation has to do to get out of the car. You showed the Back Seat. This is what they have to do in the front seat.

They have to throw a simple latch. Worst case if you run out of power, say pulling into a charging area because the last one you planned on using was down and you had to make it on a very low charge, and the people in the back did not know about the pulley system they would have to either get out of one of the front doors or wait in the vehicle for help.

OK, on the designed by an idiot, or in this case concepted and OK’d by an idiot, and the rest of the engineering and work of making that work was actually left up to good engineers, we both can agree on.

You mean it is too complicate to open a door handle? You do know those news stories about people getting trapped in their Teslas had to be taken down because you can just open the door, the people who were trapped weren’t only stupid, they were locked in a vehicle with the manual that told them how to get out of the car and they never looked at it.

1. The ‘central computer’ doesn’t control the car’s controls. It is made to come to sudden stop if it fails and the person can still steer.
2. The doors have manual overrides that defeat the locks and open the doors. People who have been “trapped in their Tesla” when it lost power haven’t even looked at the manual. Every door and hood has a way to open it from the inside and there is even a way to emergency release the charger if you have to.
3. Ever single issue is as much an issue for ICE cars as EV’s. Bullet resistant windows on most cars are a risk, however some teslas have an override for their power windows. ICE cars have been hacked and taken control of through the computer in their entertainment system, that like a Tesla, actually is the main computer system for their car. ICE cars have Electric door locks as well.
   If the accident was powerful enough to rupture the battery with the metal signposts, it could also open up the gas tank and set it on fire as the car was going in excess of 65.

The fact that you are taking the words “explodey-gas” as a serious reference to the fire and not the form of propulsion that ICE cars use and take it seriously makes me wonder about your media literacy.

Hmmm I wonder if a vehicle filled with flammable explodey-gas who just drove over 2 metal signs at high speed would be on fire as well? Would it have gotten the attention that this vehicle had, given that ICE cars burn many times more often than EV’s do.

It is a tragedy and should be investigated but these articles have to get off the “It’s new so it’s bad” bandwagon until the investigators come in. It could have been a flat tire at high speeds that sent the car onto that shoulder and over those signs. There is uneven wear on the tires so on the outside of Regenerative Breaking EV’s tires look almost new on the outside but trashed on the inside. If it blew because of that, or some nail on the road then there is no fault on Tesla and the man-boy who runs it. If however say steering went or the airbag randomly went off when the car was at speed my least favourite Martian and Tesla would be culpable.

Until then turn the sensationalism on your stories down to 11.

In the Cybertruck, not Teslas in general. Also has been fixed.

But is it more different than many types of beers and ales that are alcoholic?
