It's not that they are gigantic companies, it's that they are big companies with lots of techies. Other organisations can have them as well.

The BBC (British Broadcasting Company) has it's own TLD for example. their Mastodon account uses it: https://social.bbc/

A good read!

Wikipedia link for the leaky cables, because I thought that was interesting.

2021 - annonced then at least, didn't complete until later I think.

They sell some spare parts, but no longer for my heaset. They even had the parts in stock!

Their consumer business got bought out by a swiss hearing aid company though. Fist thing they did was stop selling spare parts.....

Not getting a penny from me if I can avoid it.

One nearish me closed overnight after the announcement of the higher tax. Just decided it wasn't viable.

Marked as "absolutely fucked" on that map to be fair.

My local is in the "somehow fine" category, but it's tax before the change is way higher than the tax for the one that closed after the change?

Each colour has a scale too, dark green is heavier than light green

Looks like a standard precipitation map to me. Goes purple->red->yellow-->green->blue

Depends on the angle of the flow out of the tap. I switched out a tap with an identical looking replacement, that just had a 20 degree or so andle on the plastic spout bit that made a huge difference.

Doesn't have to be your main copy (those bags are annoying to use). But put a copy in there at least (and keep it up to date with the important ones)

DON'T put the paper in a plastic organiser etc, plastic melts/burns at lower temperature so can ruin them even if the bag would have otherwise been able to protect them.

I think part of the idea is: build it and they will come.... If 10% of users have NPUs, then apps will find 'useful' ways to use them.

Part of it is actually battery life - if you assume that in the life of the laptop it will be doing AI tasks (unlikely currently) an NPU will be wayyyy more efficient than running it on a CPU, or even a GPU.

Mostly though, it's because it's an excuse to charge more for the laptop. If all the high end players add NPUs, then customers have no choice but to shell out more. Most customers won't realise that when they use chat got or copilot one one of these laptops, it's still not running on their device.

If they are serious passwords, look at putting them in a fireproof bag.

Otherwise, what happens if something happens when you are out?

All good until your house burns down/floods or something.

really? able to nest nultiple times etc?

Firefox has tree style tabs add-on. Gamechanger

There are a lot of minor things, that are much faster to print than to get delivered. (If you can find them at a sensible price).

I don't think rice requires water? It just tolerates it fine, so it's useful for pest/weed control?

I'm not sure that's true. How would it get there originally, other than through what you eat?

My understanding is that epic had a project in progress, but it got canned. I wonder if they had to give up the rights, or if they still hold them and Brandon is just not saying?

copy paste I assume

If you are worried about long Vs short sleeves, look at short sleeves with arm warmers as a middle ground.
