They did change one thing. You used to be able to get electricity at wholesale prices from certain providers. When the rates went crazy during the 2021 storm and people’s crazy bills for turning on the lamp blew up on the news, they shut down that option.
These rate surges do hurt customers, but now it’s in the form of rate increases when their contract expires.
But if stupid Americans can use the “difficult” system, it can’t be too hard.
I think about this whenever I see someone complain about how Fahrenheit is arbitrary and how are you supposed to remember that water freezes at 32° and boils at 212°. I guess American brains are just able to retain more.
Some fridges have a water/ice dispenser built into the door. Not all American fridges have it and it’s available in other markets too.
I don’t think you’ll find a color laser printer that size. They use pretty large drums to hold the toner. It’d be hard to even find a mono laser printer in that size.
Galaxy quest. Just watched it for the first time 2 days ago.
It’s not mentioned in the filing, so we can only speculate.
…on March 18, 2024, Nokia Technologies sent us a letter indicating they believed that Reddit infringes certain of their patents. We will evaluate their claims.
That’s all we’ve got to go on.
It basically is a tweet. It’s a quick post, which is designed for The Verge writers to write a quick thought or link to a story using a website they control instead of posting it on Elon’s website.
The Tesla cruise control feature turns the ‘auto’ high beams on every time you activate it and the feature is really poorly implemented. The camera it uses to detect other cars will loses sight of you when you get close and it’ll flip the highbeams on in your face.
It does have that feature, but it’s worse than just leaving the high beams on. It uses the cameras to try to detect cars. It detects cars way later than my old Mazda used to and then right as the car gets close to passing you, the camera loses sight of it and flips the high beams back on. Looks like you are trying to intentionally blind people.
You don’t need to take it anywhere. The car will download it using its own antenna and then prompt you to schedule the update the next time you get in the car.
I used to love both Vanilla and Cherry Coke, but I can’t stand cola flavors (any brand) ever since I got covid last year. So it’s been mostly the cream soda flavor Dr. Pepper if I drink soda at home.
It’s only an ad if I don’t like the discussion. Posting about a mechanical keyboard I bought and calling it great? That’s not an ad. If you do it though, that is an ad. Everyone on the internet is a shill except for me.
I’ve never been able to get one of these 3D images to work, but I got it here. It was pretty cool.
That’s basically CES in a nutshell. Nearly everything shown off won’t be useful for years.
The headline seems to be targeted at dedicated Verge readers who know that AI is the current big buzzword at CES, they are likely a bit tired of it, and are interested in something that’s not AI.
The article is about how new products are getting support for Wifi 7, so probably none of your current devices.
I think it’s mostly true in New York, but that’s the only city where I’ve heard that.
The author complaining about Threads defederation from spinster was a pretty big red flag. It’s on every mainstream mastodon blocklist I’ve seen and it’s obvious he knows why. Really leaned into that “how can they discriminate against women!?” dog whistle that TERFs love to use.
Edit: Oh, it turns out he’s married to the person who runs that server. He’s also worked with Gab, used some of their code for his soapbox, and seems to have been involved with Trump’s truth social. No wonder his feelings are hurt.
OEMs benefit from the rule. People (as in the average non-techie) who have older hardware or don’t have the right bios settings will feel the need to purchase new hardware that is already running the latest version of Windows.
Costco doesn’t have hand baskets anywhere. The word basket in the image refers to the cart.
