Efficient at generating the most value for shareholders? Probably. Efficient at price/performance of product sold? No.

Ah yes, because capitalism in it's purest form would never have companies form monopolies and lobby governments for favorable legislation.

That's not the message

Every single on of those answers I've seen _says_ they did decode it, but each and every one of them only found the decoy message without even realizing it.

But it does make sense. You probably looked up where you're going before entering the car on your phone. You probably want to hear the same music or podcasts as on you phone. Do you really want the car to have separate internet connection, and login for every app?

Also you need to connect the phone anyway if you want hands free calling.

The point they're making is that it's hard to find purely European alternatives. Part of the problem is that companies don't advertise when they somehow still depend on American infra.

Believe it or not, the eu is not one single entity with one undivided goal. As is perfectly well demonstrated by chatcontrol being proposed by one side and continually struck down by the other.

Wrong. If you just take out the fat you've necessarily got more of everything else per kcal. I didn't say per volume, I said per kcal.

My dumb answer would be that less fat means more sugar per kcal, so less satiety per kcal. No idea if that's correct.

Nuclear is too expensive and takes to long. We can't afford to waste the resources that could go into a fully green grid in a couple of years taking decades building a fraction of that capacity as nuclear.

Many people do, although I too don't get why

240W max is very little when it comes to hearing up water, and most powerbanks don't even do more than 100W output. That's more in the range of those swappable tool batteries.

Charging a 5Ah phone empty to full every day of the year adds up to all of about 7kWh. Nobody cares if you shave off a couple cents per year if the experience is worse.

If you didn't specifically test without it, I'd attribute that to cgnat

if you have that little respect for leadership, why are you working at that company?

What an astoundingly dumb question. Most people work somewhere to get paid, and If you think its unusual to hate the boss, oh boy, do I have news for you!

Several things severely wrong with this example. The employee didn't talk to an outsider, they didn't talk to someone the CEO would be likely to have known personally, and they're so far removed from the CEO nobody thinks they'd know them on a personal level.

You just can't talk about a CEO as if they're a person interacting and hiring people individually because they just don't.

I never said loud. Comfortable podcast listening volume in both cases.

You can turn up your car stereo and mow over pedestrians undisturbed in your two ton death machine yet I'm not allowed to cycle on a bicycle-only path with with a podcast and transparency mode enabled? For my own safety? Safety from car drivers that fell asleep driving with their stereo on?

The "plausible sounding-text generator" generated plausible sounding text. More news at 11

Yeah, that's what LLMs do. Now is it true? Who knows!

My XM4's always do that at the beeps from the cash register, although I always attributed that to their volume rather than frequency. My theory was that they refuse to produce sound loud enough to cancel the beeps for safety reasons.

There is no handshake, all that's needed are two 5.1 kΩ pulldown resistors. By omitting them the manufacturer saved all of about 0.1c and made their device incompatible with compliant usb-c chargers.

The author may feel like this is true, but she probably probably doesn't care for the Kafkaesque nature of the system and doesn't stand to profit from their misery either.

Or don't and adjust it in the sketcher? If you name your constrains you can just reference them directly elsewhere.

I think that's much easier as you don't have to go back and forth with a spreadsheet.

The main problem with PHEV is, that's it's comparably small battery will age very poorly because it will both: a) do more charge/discharge cycles per distance driven, and b) get charged and discharged closer to 0 & 100% making the battery age even faster.

I've had some very bad ram (lots of errors found when tested) and consistently the only thing that actually crashed because of it was Firefox.

That's what named pipes do.

The Galaxy S5 was only 8.1mm including camera bump, removable battery and IP67 rating.

Is it? I can see the broiler glowing, so at least a decent chunk is close to visible light.

I think that's the most, if not only relevant part to base your decision on

There was a story here the other day, bitlocker keys stored in your Microsoft account will be handed over.
