One of the worst things that the newer Windows versions did is get rid of that little view of defragmenting. It was much more interesting than watching a number slowly tick up.

Doesn’t the Congress and Election College have final say? The rest of it could be a sham, but what they say goes.

More or less. It varies a bit, but it extends a tiny bit along the shoulders and down the spine.

The brown fat is basically a metabolic heater, so insulating it will help warm things up.

Google Play is separate from Android. Google likely updates it through that route, rather than relying on manufacturers.

Socialism as in Norway, not Stalin.

It should be pointed out that Norway is not socialist. It’s a social democracy/capitalist country.

Eve if he suddenly no longer had influence over Tesla, he’s ruined their reputation enough that others have had time to catch up and make better vehicles.

They can demand it, but you can’t prove a negative.

Didn’t Google replace the normal Google Assistant with Gemini on newer phones?

YouTube also defaults to it, so if you open it, and the video you want is already there, no need to jump to another page to load the exact same video.

How exactly does one suck a fuck?

With consent, of course.

As it turns out, there is a cricket emoji.

Does it matter if it is weird? Everyone is weird in some way.

There’s no weirdness warden who will whack you into gaol for being weird.

Maybe if you gave him a wet food diet, like a cat or something.

Eventually we’ll hit it with phones, and then it’s just a matter of time till a solid “base” with swapable components come out. There’s been a couple already, but they still require a sacrifice of size or speed/power.

I’d honestly argue that we’ve more or less hit it already, since a lot of phones over the past few years haven’t really changed from the template of being a black glass rectangle with some buttons on it.

But what if it was chartreuse?

No. Because any advanced civilisation capable of sending a colony ship across light-years to another planet is already so far outside of our current technological ability that it matters precious little.

We would be easy to colonise either way. Doubly so if they have some form of FTL technology to make that trip in reasonable time.

But there’s also an argument that anyone who can do so would have a much easier time not dealing with all of that and just colonising an uninhabited planet, or outright using materials to make a thing to colonise instead.

Depending on how they do it, not having to deal with hydrogen infrastructure might be nice, if they keep along with the plan to use refillable cartridges. Hydrogen is a bit more fiddly.

Although this seems much more reliant on humidity compared to a hydrogen fuel cell, which seems like a huge hole if the thing just won’t work if it’s a dry day/environment.

The censorship only exists on the version they host, which is fair enough. If they’re running it themselves in China, they can’t just break the law.

If you run it yourself, the censorship isn’t there.

It’s also much easier to implement.

Not really. Why censor more than you have to? That takes time and effort, and it’s almost certainly easier to do it using something else. The law isn’t that particular, as long as you follow it.

You also don’t risk causing the model to go wrong, like trying to censor bits of the model has a habit of doing.
