The way are being transported…I wouldn’t get your hopes up for them. :'(

That’s the only reason I can think you’d want a digital license plate, to change it on demand.

Its just e-waste.

“Help! My computer is slow after an update.”

“Try reinstalling window and reformatting you drive”

“Help I can’t find my documents!”

But taxes!!!

Said anyone who doesn’t know that minus $600/month that only covers the basics plus $300? in taxes that covers a lot more is a net savings.

But only for doomsday events. You get a 40 day notice.

Maybe its time to make friends with the doomsday peepers…

That’s sad. Someone asked “what does she like?” and someone responded “TikTok”. At least the other stuff on the box is an actual theme.

No you don’t need a license to be a journalist.

My thought was more about the scale of the project. For a journalists, just fact checking someone online doesn’t make you a journalists. If you went out to fact check something at the source, compiled a bunch of evidence and presented it publicly, then you’d call your self a journalist.

Back to the electrician (ignoring license requirements), swapping out a light switch isn’t much, but if you learned how to rewired a whole house, install panels, ceilings fans, etc - you’d call you self an electrition.

And you’re right, the electrician is kind of a bad comparison.

News isn’t a primary source. In most cases its a secondary source. They ask the primary “what happened” or get a press release from wherever and report on that.

They can be a primary source if they are live on location recording something as it happens. In that case, only the video (or written account) and individuals are primary sources, the second it goes through the studio’s writers it becomes a secondary source.

Journalist is defined as anyone who writes for public news media. If op writes an article an publicly posts it, they are a blogger. If they post it anywhere that can be considered a news site (IMO, if their a own site is a news site, it counts), they are a journalist.

A good journalists is one who takes in many primary sources, maybe fills the gaps with some other secondaries and informs the public with the most informed information they have. Unfortunately corporate news has become an echo chamber of secondary sources with no one independently looking at primary sources. If it ain’t cited don’t trust it.

If the OP of the shower thought, basically fact checks someone else, then they are doing the work of a journalist. However simply doing a bit of work does not earn you the title, just like replacing a light switch at your house does not make you an electrician (even if you do it better then some of the “professionals”)

Free food and coupons. Most of the time there’s a 20% off coupon. The point system actually leads to free sandwiches and stuff.

Love that she has fully embraced 2005 YouTube. Gives us hope for the future.

For me the downside is the precedent it sets. Yes, most of us agree getting rid of TikTok is a good thing, but how long until they start banning other sites “for the children”? How long until they target federated sites they can’t control “for the children”?

To top it off, it doesn’t solve the data harvesting problem their so scared of with TikTok. They only care about that one because the data is going to China. Instagram and others can stay because they are American companies spying on citizens.

More accurate than the average american.

The recent macbooks are heading back in the right direction.

I think a lot of the complants come from wanting a portable computer/setup, and having a hub or a bunch of adapters takes away the portability.

I think the ideal I/O for me would be;

• Power
• 4x USBc (displayport, high speed, etc.)
• 1x USBA (flash drives are still mostly A, and if you have a wireless USB mouse, not needing an adapter or dealing with bluetooth is great)
• 3.5 headphone/mic combo jack
• Ethernet
• HDMI, at least until more monitors have USBC inputs, although having an adapter cable isn’t too bad.

This is where I like framework approach with the customizable IO, but I think they need to shrink the blocks to give 6-8 ports. 4 is simply not enough, with one used up for power.

I’ve never hear of a typing notification…and I gotta say, that sounds absolutely horrible.

Its probably only to get you in the app, maybe you start typing a message to someone else while you wait for the first, and that person start typing a message to someone and the chain eventually gets to the first person distracting them from finishing their message to you creating a terrible cycle of pointless notifications and you still have no idea why you opened the app.

the fanart for 18 is going to be interesting…further investigation will be required.

It would also help to limit how many times you can click the “10 more minutes” button. Sure you can have an extra 10 to finish up whatever you’re watching/playing/etc, but after that you’re done.

Gee what a surprise they don’t want to make them anymore!!! /s
