Nah, more of a challenge. California normally leads the way with things that are good. Competition towards good things is good.

The S22 US version used snapdragon 8 gen 1 (in the US) and the chip was prone to performance issues. It worked, but it was rough, ran hot, and ate power for lunch. I’m not sure if that was a year that the international variants had an Exynos, but their performance is generally worse.
So seeing a simpler phone with basic android seem to do fine versus a flagship with super bloated Android on a first gen apps processor makes a lot of sense, really.
Up to $210 if uninsured.
Nice to see California catching up to Colorado.
I’m not pro-China, but will probably sound that way here. We are all nation-states composed of arbitrary rules. We all think we are the best. We all think the others are less. We all do shitty things to our people. We also need each other to survive. It’s a clusterfuck that needs a fix. Xenophobia is never the answer.
One cannot really use a universal fact shared between the two nations as a plot point.
Oh, yeah, the US Federal Government would neeevvverrr put backdoors into things. Not ever. Not BlackBerry, or iPhone, or messaging apps, or anything…
…oh, wait.
You think Thunderbird is insulated? Their latest big drunk UI lift seems to have somehow made it even less intuitive.
You have a preferred mobile app to access the service you’d recommend?
Recently tried MS Office apps for the first time in 8 or so years. Somehow they made them less intuitive than even ribbon days. They use a dark pattern save dialog that makes it easy to accidentally save to OneDrive, and if you have OneDrive disabled or uninstalled, there’s an always present icon in the title bar of the main edit window that says “autosave off” even though autosave is on.
Went right back to LibreOffice after one document and one spreadsheet.
Duh, it’s so simple. The lab released infected animals to the wet market. All bases covered.
I’ll take my research grant now.
(This is all said non-serious to be clear.)
Is that the latest bear name Russia is using? They’re not very clever in their naming of their shit orgs and furry obsessed with bears.
I asked ChatGPT if it knew of that, and even with it’s heavy microsoft influence it was confused.
Have you met Google?
Those are both mental health issues, as well as the latter being failure of the medical system to limit access. (As well as the unrelated easy access to firearms issue.)
Mental healthcare in the US is terrible by itself, and is under the healthcare umbrella.
…you know what they say about guys with big lift…
Funny thing is, the people I know with large vehicles around here always bemoan how difficult it is to park, yet don’t want to solve the obvious problem because twice a year they want to haul a fridge to the dump or pick up something from the home improvement store rather than have it delivered or rent a truck for an hour.
…and the text messages, and the canvassers, and the snail mails, and the billboards (if you live where they are allowed), and and and.
Wish it would all just go away, I’ll vote how I want despite all the waste of media.
Politicians should get some sanctioned debates and interviews on CSPAN and that’s it.
I have a set of uBlock Origin filters I turn on in the “my filters” tab when this garbage gets too exhausting.

Replace with your Lemmy instance domain and keywords of your choice!
Surveillance images released by police showed one suspect dressed fully in pink - including a shower cap.
Funny that BBC describes the images but doesn’t bother putting them in the article. Did they receive this news via paper telegram, dictated but not read?
“We don’t use coal, we just burn waste rather than turning the wood scrap into something useful.” Greenwashing at its finest. I suppose the angle is it’s “almost” recycling carbon rather than releasing old buried carbon into the atmosphere?
What an odd guilt-laden non-article. It’s non-trivial to install underground piping systems in neighborhoods, they then also need a source/sink of heat to power the mechanism, not every neighborhood would have that, not all topographies would support that. Cities already have centralized heating systems that have been around for decades in some building groupings.
Seems it’d make more sense to just install a house-grade heat pump on each home the next time the AC needs to be replaced and some grid-scale solar and/or wind and/or hydro and Bob’s your uncle. Toss in some base-load nuclear for good measure. Build out the energy infra enough that resistance or baseboard resistance electric heat can be used for when it’s too cold to use a heat pump in the meantime, and then sunset gas furnaces the next time those need to be replaced.
This avoids polluting with big diggers tearing up streets, moving dirt around, possibly destroying gas (causing methane leaks), water, power, Internet infra, and laying new asphalt. No carbon creation by building the piping systems/energy plant and avoids trucking those parts around.
