The advantage of iMessage is SMS fallback when you don’t have internet access.

Old Logitech are great. New Logitech are cheap craps.

While we’re at the matter, could you recommend a small woofer that’s not break the bank but good enough for music (no genre in particular, I listen to all kind of stuff).

I don’t think they really care if it’s not actually illegal.

Or they could sell the data in bulk. And the day I put in my number just happens to be the day they sell their database.

How is it Thatcher’s fault? I’m genuinely curious.

I learned that Hong Kong is under British control because it’s a leasing contract that last 99 years (from 1898 to 1997). So when the time comes it’s nobody’s fault that Hong Kong went back to China. Because China at the time would never extent the contract or even except negotiations.

Banks and hospitals sell your information, too.

When my wife gave birth to our son at the hospital, I have to put down my phone number as part of the check in form. Immediately the next day I got call for “Home care services for new mom and baby”.

Let me introduce you “The Bug Spray Can”. 🤯

Can someone explain why a job application called “resume”, like in Play/Pause/Resume?

How is it relevant?

(I’m learning English as second language).

Edit: So we’re speaking French now? What? Why? You guys butchered so many words already, can you just made up one more?

Ps: Is that also the case with the word “fiancé”? I’ve been wondering where the hell did that “é” came from.

Does it mean “that’s scary”?

In my entire life I’ve spent less than $50 in micro-transactions.

EV are much heavier than petrol cars, maybe the offset weight will help regain some grip? Normal tires wear out so fast on EVs.

They could just raise the prize to $198 and slap another 4GB of RAM on it.

Obviously it’s the landlord who do it for profit. It’s not like the tourist just came to the city and shove the residents out of their own home or something like that.

All this would do is shift the profits to hotel chains. The rent will never go down and the landlord will never sell.

Always choose the alternative FOSS (Free Open-Sauce Shit) option.

Can someone please explain why CRT is 0 blur and 0 latency when it literally draws each pixel one-by-one using the electron ray running across the screen line-by-line?

That’s old power banks from decade ago. Majority if not all reputable powerbank brands now have charge passthrough.

Some will charge your device to full first, then disconnect the device and charge itself second.

Some will slowly charge both the device and the powerbank itself (I emphasize the Slowly part, probably at 5V 0.5A).

For OP, look for something on the packaging that indicates it have the mentioned above function.

HOWEVER! No good powerbanks will work as a UPS. Because they have built-in protection that will disconnect the power when fully charged or turn itself off when the plugged in devices is full.

I said “good powerbanks” because cheap, no-name one doesn’t have those protections and will keep on trickle charging both itself and the devices, which is really bad.

Also, as a rule of thumb, you DO NOT want to plugged in your lithium battery at all times and keep it at 100%. That’s the recipe for disaster waiting to happen.

A cheap or 2nd-hand acid-battery UPS can be bought for as little as $30-$50 on Ebay, even the smallest one will be capable of powering the noise machine for days.

I don’t understand,) what’s wrong with that? It looks tasty AF.
