Can’t figure out if this is a joke or serious, so just in case, you might want to look up what happened to the Library of Alexandria.

That’s kind of the problem, you don’t have to do any research to know Musk’s politics and why he’s a shithead. He makes sure everyone knows it.
It’s one thing to have a political opinion, it’s a whole other thing when you spend 40 billion dollars to make damn well sure everyone knows what it is.
The Mach E is at the top of my list currently. It would be a great replacement for the Model 3. The only thing the Model 3 really has over the Mach E is the range, but since Ford can charge at Tesla chargers, it’s not really an issue.
There’s a bunch of trucks that do reverse charging now. The Rivian R2 supports it, the R1 was supposed to as well but I’m not sure if that OTA update went out yet. So does the new Silverado EV (which is soooo much cooler than the Cybertruck IMO). There’s probably more, but those are the two off the top of my head.
It was something I was also interested in until I realized I really don’t want a truck.
Check out some of his novellas like The Langoliers, If It Bleeds, Elevation, etc. They are shorter reads (for King at least, usually only a couple hundred pages) and generally get straight to the point (instead of spending a chapter describing a scene).
That and his short stories are some of his best work. It might make you want to jump into some of his more iconic stuff or allow you to realize you don’t love his writing style and save you a couple thousand pages.
The Boogeyman is my favorite short story from him. Jerusalem’s Lot is also the short story that Salem’s Lot comes from. Another great read.
The gunslinger is definitely a hard one to get going (but it does get going) because he was super young when he wrote it (I think he was like 19 or something like that) but overall the Dark Tower series is one of the best pieces of fiction I’ve ever read. Especially if you’re familiar with his world building (lots of books live within the Dark Tower universe like The Stand, Salem’s Lot, even The Shining to an extent). It also has one of the most memorable open lines of any book series “The man in black fled across the desert, and the gun slinger followed”.
It was more than just the phone books. Back before smart phones, if you needed to look up a phone number you’d call information (411) and they’d look it up for you. For instance, if you were stuck on the side of the road and needed a tow truck.
Information would be able to look up businesses close to where you were using the NPA/NXX of the phone number you were calling from (the first six digits of the number including the area code) and then give you a couple options in alphabetical order.
I had a client who had a phone number in every exchange in NYC and had a name like “AAA Towing” so no matter where in NYC you called information for a tow truck from, they’d usually be the first option given to you.
We do the same, but opposite. We have a minivan and a smaller EV. The minivan is technically hers and the EV is mine, but it’s really more what it’s used for. If one of us is taking the kids somewhere (school, birthday parties, fun) we take the van. If we’re running to the store, normal errands or just taking a single kid we’ll use the EV.
It doesn’t make sense for her to take the minivan to run to the store to pick up something small and it doesn’t make sense for me to take the smaller car to bring the kids somewhere.
These aren’t regular people, these are navy soldiers on a high tech warship, I have to imagine their IT would know how to find rogue wifi APs.
You could easily scan for hidden SSIDs. It might not show up in your phone’s wifi list, but that’s by design. The traffic is still there and discoverable. Even with an app like WiFiman (made by Ubiquiti).
There are two main reasons why those numbers are skewed and incorrect.
Bedrock players are Mojang/Microsoft’s target demo. They spend more money (with both realms and the marketplace) and purchase more merchandise.
Just like in this case, it isn’t straight forward. She wasn’t simply “letting her friends use it”, she was selling use of the trick.
Google has been doing it with YouTube for as long as there has been a paid version of it. If you’re a premium subscriber, the creators you watch get a portion of your subscription based on how much you watch them. It’s why premium subscriber views are worth more than free views.
That’s why IMO YouTube premium is worth it. My subscription supports the creators I watch and I get no ads.
Let’s be real, no matter how you’re watching YouTube, if you’re accessing the video directly and not cached through a third party server, Google is still tracking you.
Yea, that’s more or less the same cost a fully loaded i5 would be in the US. Works out to be about 15k more than the normal 5 series, more or less.
Currently only Ford and Rivian can use Tesla chargers in the US. BMW, Mercedes and a bunch of others have announced partnerships with Tesla late 2023 / early 2024 but they haven’t released the adapters or technically allowed to use it just yet.
I’m absolutely in love with the i7 (the 7 series in general), but the i5 is the closest I’ll get and even then it’s really hard to justify since I really don’t drive a whole lot.
It’s something I’ve been considering getting but the one thing that really gets me about it is it’s essentially an ICE car with its engine swapped out for a battery and electric motor. It’s so big and heavy.
I haven’t gotten to test drive one yet, so maybe it doesn’t feel as bad when driving. I know not really the same class (though surprisingly close in cost) but I’ve been leaning towards the mach e GT (one thing Tesla got right is their supercharger network and Ford can take advantage of that).
I’m also half hoping they come out with a sedan built from the ground up as an EV. I considered the i4, but at that price there’s a lot of great cars that would probably be better.
Did your company buy them or lease? I don’t think I can bring myself to actually buy an EV. I’m still not sure how the battery will be in 10+ years.
iTunes is one of those services that offer DRM free music.
Usage rights for iTunes Store purchases All songs offered by the iTunes Store come without Digital Rights Management (DRM) protection.
I’m definitely not an apple fanboy (I’m an android user) but Apple switched to DRM free a while ago.
He was relevant there for a hot minute when he spoke out against Trump, but now he’s doing whatever he can to get back in MAGA’s good graces.
That’s not how it would work for us. We’d receive a report from the MPAA/RIAA that showed the torrent they were downloading, the IP address involved, if they were seeding or leeching and an affidavit saying that all the information was correct to the best of their knowledge.
The letter we sent basically was a notification that we received that letter (with a copy) and that if we received two more for the same IP (three in total) we would have to release their information to the reporting body and that they could be open to legal action. It also included some information on how to secure their network and check for viruses in case that was the cause.
In my 15 years working there, we never once released information about a client. Because this was business accounts, most clients had multiple IPs (at least a /29) and would cycle what IPs they showed up as on the public Internet to keep them from getting multiple notices on the same IP. The music venue I mentioned had an entire /24.
