You don’t even need a thought experiment. The hard data is there. Police in my are, for example, cut enforcement by more than 60% back during the pandemic. Crime and civil violations shot through the roof to the point of chaos. I don’t remember the exact number, but it got bad, ignore the fact we already have some of the highest gun crimes in the country… They finally stepped up enforcement a bit the middle of last year and crime dropped measurably, but it is still higher than 2017-2018.

I am sure this has been a familiar thing across many cities.

(OP implied it was for some reason)

Wired isn’t a shopping site?

this.

This doesn’t seem like a dickheaded move to me. First, it was a C&D letter, which has no legal status, and second, the stalker thing is a legitimate concern, especially since the MAGA camp is all riled up about her.

I keep patties/fries in the freezer and have an easily accessible grill and air fryer for when that urge hits. The only thing I need to get is the buns.

We rarely eat at McDonald’s these days. The prices pushed us out along with the poor quality food.

Is it easy to get a copy of their dataset?

Nah, the deck will pop up the portal automatically in most cases.

I have never had an issue with alternate wifi networks, traveling or not.

Wayland works with NVIDIA cards though.

If I had to watch ads, I would not use youtube. Period.

I saw a popup once, refreshed and it was gone. 🤣

This could be another indicator that we are going into recession. I did not read the article (because who does that? 🤣) but when you look at rising credit card debt combined with the mass layoffs, it usually means folks are on their last legs, financially speaking.

That is assuming there actually is a problem with higher credit card debt and the topic is ‘t being sensationalized, of course.

Another indicator to watch out for is falling revenue in earnings reports. Falling revenue, particularly in retail and consumer goods spaces means recession is inbound.

I firmly believe that, absent some additional support, we will enter a recession within 2 years.

Note: I don’t claim to be an economist, but I am old and I have lived through a few of these downturns.

Incorrect. The tech sector had had a record number of layoffs (https://layoffs.fyi/) and hasn’t had any time to recover. In addition, a US law, section 174, took effect this year and changes taxes for software engineers and certain other tech workers.

I personally have never had issues finding work, but I have been unemployed for over 6 months. This is despite the fact I have been in the industry for over 2 decades, despite having tons of qualifications and even former employers recommending me.

This. Lots of health plans don’t even have copays anymore thanks to COVID.

They bought a bunch of assets that didn’t work well together, made a poor attempt to make them work together, and released a buggy half-finished game…oh and the hame was completely different from what they said they were working on.

I did like the gameplay loop, however.

No, it is completely misleading because:

1. this change will not impact a single developer outside the EU.

2. Any developer not using a third party app store will also not be affected.

3. You can still build free apps and literally nothing changes assuming you use Apple’s app store.

Like I said, it is a shit policy, but for nearly all developers nothing changes.

The video’s thumbnail said Apple is killing free apps. That is a complete lie. There is not an ounce of truth to it.

Nobody said this is a great policy. I was just pointing out the garbage level reporting of it by folks like the author.

In other words, if they actually didn’t care they would not have bothered to make a statement at all.

Keep in mind that Apple is a **competitor ** to netflix.

Such a clickbait-y headline I am not going to watch it.

Free apps aren’t changing in anyway.

The tl;dr is that for developers using the app store, nothing changes. Developers wishing to not use the app store have to agree to a new fee structure.

Apple, as expected, intends to make up for lost profits by charging more money.

If you are outside the EU none of this matters to you.

Note that I am not disagreeing with the sentiment , but rather I am disagreeing with the clickbait headline.

In the case of LPDDR5, we don’t have removable memory due to tight signaling requirements and the fact that the DIMM slots themselves take up too much space when populated.

LPCAMM2 solves this, so I hope it is widely adopted going forward because LPDDRR5 offers a huge upgrade over previous gen.
