Haha, nicely done. I had to work harder and harder to read it.

So pooping improves your memory? 😁

Check out the apps Hermit and Native Alpha. They make web pages run like an app. I’ve only run into a couple sites where they don’t work right.

I vaguely recall a recent-ish article that an average web page is 30mb. That’s right, thirty megabytes.

It’s amazing how much faster web browsing becomes when I run PiHole and block most of it.

Suddenly the TV is pretty snappy, and all browsers feel so much smoother.

Well, virtualizatiin systems tend to run at root level, since they need to emulate things like processors (yea, that’s not the only way, but business-class virtualizatiin is done at the OS level).

I just say “post grezz sequel”. Sorry if it pisses people off, but it’s a stupid name, so I’m gonna say it the way I want.

I look forward to the day when all these lame-ass, insider naming conventions are looked down upon as the stupid things they are.

Wtf does “en jinx” or “engine X” have to do with it’s functionality?

I hate looking for an app on my phone that does a particular thing but hell if I can recall what the idiot developed called it.

Rules of English, the closest I’d come is n-jinx. You don’t pronounce letters individually, unless reciting the alphabet or something.

Unless you pronounce the letter “B” the same way you say it, like the bug that makes honey.

We don’t say “beenefits” or “bee eee an eee eef eye tee ess”

Wtf?

It’s Jason. If they wanted it pronounced that way, they should’ve spelled it differently…

Like GIF

Sorry, no, at least one could argue GIF. JSON is a single freakin’ vowel short of a common male name.

Morons.

Hahahahaha, thanks for the chuckle, that’s perfect!

If it’s in Forbes, it makes me wonder what new agenda is being pushed and by who.

“Ignorant” is a more generous term. They clearly haven’t had a even a basic earth sciences or physics class.

Skydivers are only falling for about 5 minutes so the rotation underneath them is negligible.

Plus, like planes, they’re flying - so aiming for a target (while their lift is far less than aircraft, they do have some, and can orient and direct themselves).

They’re also in the atmosphere, which is rotating with the earth (part of why there are winds).

Comes from being a compromise “standard”. The name says it all, being named after a king that brought multiple tribes together.

I had an “unlimited” plan with a cell company - I took them at their word and downloaded gobs of stuff. Got shut down in a week.

How is being a heatpump (a reversible air conditioner) automatically more efficient?

If you have 2 units using identical design, but only add a reversing valve, I don’t see how the heat pump version would be any more efficient at cooling.

Why not?

Where I live it would be trivially easy.

Watch an Amazon driver pull into a development/complex, watch where he leaves packages and who doesn’t come to the door immediately, then wait till he drives away and go collect.

To tack on to this, with an example that is easier to grasp - I have my own cloud, comprised of machines at my house, my friends, and family.

Those machines provide backup storage for each other, over the internet (using an encrypted connection).

If I were to charge people for storage, I’d be little different than any other cloud storage provider (at the most basic level).

Your second point is why paying for such services makes a real difference.

Companies like storj.io, backblaze, or any other cloud storage/backup provider provide a service for a fee with (not really) clear usage rules. If you’re encrypting your stuff before it goes to the cloud, you’re pretty safe from scanning, and if you have a contract for a given space and bandwidth, the worst you’ll probably run into is overage fees.

The negativity is about like saying I should not exist.

It’s your choice to see it that way.
