Machines also run slower if you’ve used almost all of your disc space, as OSes does RAM data swaps, for data it can’t/won’t hold in memory. Go down to 10 GB of space and your machine is bloody slow

Caesar was so synonymous with emperor, they had to change the pronunciation of a letter to differentiate Caesar and Kaiser

Half of those are due to cultural differences.

EVs, Americans wants big shiny difficult to build thing. Chinese wants small, simple, effective car.

Hence American EVs started with big stationwagons, while Chinese EVs began with small hatchbacks. Then they built the larger models after, ontop of the knowledge from the smaller builts.

Solar power, American power grids always favoured reliable production output and never had a boner on for renewables due to the peak and no production cycles. And arguably, the reason everyone is talking about renewables again is due to improvement within battery tech, which positions China nicely due to their willingness to exploit rare earth materials

Can’t even pay off the debt of the US, plenty of ways to spend it

Titles ending on engineer is so bloated, basically anything within IT is an engineer. A support level 1 engineer. A software engineer. A Quality Assurance engineer. And the list goes on, historical reason being corporate pay bands being based on titles, hence engineers were offered better pay

Samsung does too, the aim is office workers in European + USA, which gets a new phone sponsored every few years

I can impersonate a pretty good Indian accent, it’s not super culturally accepted to walk around telling people they’ve called Microsoft customer service

Different brands still carry a large difference in smell, the only reason I can’t give a name is because I don’t drink a ton.

I know people able to tell when someone in the room are on their periods, bloodhounds are insanity smellers

Can’t everyone burp on command?

I feel like farting on command is the rare trait

I still believe the American Social democrats fumbled the bag after 2016. Bernie Sanders could have started the American Social Democratic party and they would have won both 2020 and 2024 elections. | I’m not saying Sanders should had run, a younger 40 something non establishment figure would have murdered Biden and Trump.

Social democratic reforms, are widely supported among both voting blocs. It’s lowkey insanity that party doesn’t exist yet.

Maidan was not a coup, it was a popular uprising. It was a mix of all political directions which stood against corruption.

Globally there’s a tendency for alt-right groups to be better organised, often through football ultras. Which is why they tend to get power after q popular uprising, while defaced/leaderless leftist groups tends to be run over in the following power vacuums.

You could definitely argue Jair Bolsonaro got to power due to primarily leftist run protests. You could argue occupy wall street was the prelude for Trump and let’s not get started on the countries follow the Arab Spring. All of these are correlated. All of them sees right wing or authoritarian figures win the immediately following power struggle

Ukraine being run by the alt-right is a meme, Ukraine was being run by alt-right nationalists shortly after the revolution.

Then they lost the second election when Zelenskyj got to power. Zelenskyj speaks Russian (or at least spoke), and your claim is he’s an Ukrainian nationalist? Cmon mate, no ones that stupid.

Zelenskyj was the peace offering, Putin was still full of greed and went forth with the full-scale invasion. Putin however is an imperialistic nationalist wanting all power to belong to him, he’s everything you claim to hate. Yet you’re gobbling his propaganda.

You’re sure it’s not Harry Potter and the Goblet of fire?

I don’t think things will improve until they have got worse still.

Shit won’t improve before people kill oligarchs. We’ve not seen a peasant correction in Europe since the French revolution.

It creates a single point of failure, which is one of the key reasons for why darkweb/tor arrests tends to happen in waves. As the law enforcement agencies, tends to get a treasure trove of data whenever they hit and loot the main server of a marketplace

But how do they access IoT devices without access to the WiFi they’re connected on?

I guess the argument is most IoTs can be accessed through open external IP ports?

Heck an electric scooter could handle 70% of their needs
