SwiftKeys was a popular alternative , looks like it was purchased by MS and is still alive. Prediction based on learning+dictionaries and swipe-typing/gestures were the top features

Better solution: leave their platform

Android & IOS have an emergency alert system that the government can use if they want to.

You certainly can, with proper carbon emissions taxation. But you can’t stop said people from voting for parties that advocate unrealistic pipe-dream technological solutions like poop jets and full-scale CCS, rather than parties who make them take the red pill and face reality and the consequences of their actions.

Ok it sounds like what you experienced was caused by something completely different than detecting an audible difference between Spotify’s 320 kbps AAC encoding and lossless encoding, encoded over a 256 kbps AAC BT codec, but if you actually want to do a true A/B blind test of 320 kbps vs. lossless on your setup, here’s the place to do it:

Adobe XD got AXD xD

Do you realize AirPods Max/iPhone is capped at AAC/256 kbps over BT, and needs DAC -> ADC -> DAC to use a wired connection?

IAEA’s estimate is that Nuclear fusion, if successfully researched and demonstrated at full capacity within 2036 at ITER (which is already lagging behind schedule) will result in commercial availability in 2050. So yes, we are still decades away from putting it to use.

Yeah and what does that have to do with the Hydrogen being stored in gas form? The fuel cell converts it, it isn’t a storage mechanism. Hydrogen has a boiling point of -253C, are you saying that Hydrogen powered cars are fitted with a power hungry cryo chamber to cool down the fuel to a liquid form?

They don’t? When the Toyota hydrogen cars were introduced here around 2015, one of the issues were that a full tank of gas would dilute through the tank walls within a week. From the marketing material of the latest Toyota Mirai, it seems that they still use Hydrogen stored in gas form, boasting improvements in a 3-layer tank that is tested for 235% of the pressure that the gas is stored at, compared to 150% for regular gas containers.

It’s a war crime.

PHEV’s are getting reclassified/re-regulated by the EU, because:

• The stated average emissions are based on actually plugging in to charge, which most owners don’t bother with, considering electric propulsion only accounts for like 1/15 of the cars total range

• It has been regulated in a way that gave the manufacturer only small emissions penalty for increasing the motor size & weight of the car - because it was still considered to be electrically powered.

• The design itself leads to a heavier car (having 2 propulsion systems)

Meanwhile, the full EV market has been more self-regulating in the sense that they have kept the weight/energy requirements down in order be competitive on range.

In 1991 we paid around $60 for the best Nintendo NES video games (we had 22% VAT at the time in my country). That’s roughly $127 adjusted for inflation.

Why do I need to install Linux in order to install a WYSIWYG word document editor of my choice?

The NPP is awarded in Norway, not Sweden. Considering that the prize has been awarded to various Russian dissidents and Belarussian/Russian oppositional groups the past few years - and that Russia declared the 2021 winner a foreign agent, I’d say it’s safe to assume no one from the their official governments will attend anytime soon.

That’s only the construction time though, in addition comes design, planning and regulatory processes. And no one except a single plant in Finland have actually solved the issue of safely storing nuclear waste for hundreds of thousands of years, let alone just storing them safely against the natural disasters and wars that are likely to occur within decades or centuries.

Maybe you should try installing Linux on your gaming PC - then you’ll become a true believer.

It’s good quality until it breaks down.

I read an interview of locals from an Ukrainian village that got invaded - the Russians rolled in and asked the locals “where are the Nazis? Lead us to them!”, and were surprised that the locals just asked them to leave, instead of cheering for their "liberation ".

So the propaganda certainly reached the military, at least.
