Don’t all modern browsers allow you to disable auto-playing of video, even per-site if desired?

Like I get it, they don’t want someone torrenting 100tb of data in a day. That bogs things down.

No, that isn’t accurate and isn’t getting it.

All the data caps today are for total cumulative quantity per billing cycle. That is not a reliable method for controlling what actually bogs things down, which is the bandwidth used at any moment (speed).

Limiting bandwidth is also done by most ISPs today, but that’s not what this is asking to change. The data caps are exclusively a way to charge more.

Filming / photography in public is a First Amendment protected activity.

Shouldn’t the pipeline have failed unless the functional tests passed?

Generalizations that are oversimplified to the point of lacking all nuance are probably untrue because there are bound to be exceptions. Instead, try including ‘many’, ‘most’, or such as an easy remedy.

Specifically, landlords can create value when they handle property management and maintenance (and the related costs) efficiently. It is wrong that greed has made that so rare.

Tell me you’ve never compiled software from open source without saying you’ve never compiled software from open source.

The only differences between open source and freeware are pedantic, right guys?

Or if the fuses apply to too broad of a system, the wireless modem should be able to be disconnected.

Manufacturers like to implement this capability using modules which can be used across their lines of vehicles. Here’s an example for a 2017 Silverado, but you’d want to research service manuals / diagrams for the vehicle you’re considering buying: https://www.silveradosierra.com/threads/2017-silverado-removed-lte-modem.660593/

But what about all the real valuable assets these companies would have these days? Like the multitude of 5 year old PCs, 1990s era Hermann-Miller office furniture, the buildings and land they lease… /s

Because it’s tldr: did the article say why muskrat would be subject to brazilian laws?

Didn’t forget, that just isn’t relevant to the assertion that “plastic can’t be recycled”. The second use of the plastic doesn’t have to be a form which requires the exact same properties as the initial use. The remains of a bottle don’t have to be remade into another bottle. There are still nearly infinite possible uses for the plastic.

hardly any plastic is actually recyclable

Almost every thermoplastic is recyclable easily, though not necessarily profitably (because the new materials are so cheap).

Recycling that PET bottle into a different usable object would involve cleaning it, cutting it into a shape appropriate for your chosen remanufacturing process (filament or flakes), heating it to melted but not too hot, then forming (fdm, molding, etc.).

My guess would be that getting a durable graphic printed on PET is more difficult since we don’t see that, and adhesive or wrapped labels are almost certainly more expensive than printing would be if it were easy.

Edit to add: I agree that more responsibility needs to be on the manufacturer, but don’t buy into the misinformation that plastic can’t be recycled. Make it more expensive to use new plastic than recycled material.

I’m not sure, but your comment seems to imply an assumption that the foam was designed to be external to the air path and is getting unintentionally sucked in? That’s not the case, the foam is literally only inside an “air chamber” that the air directly travels through.

I could send you a Cease and Decist notice on my finest letterhead insisting that you stop being a stupid overreaching authoritarian. That doesn’t mean a court would uphold it. C&D isn’t proof of anything.

You can sanitize at boiling, and far below that too. For actual sterilization, you’d need to be above boiling using something like an autoclave or pressure cooker.

Some dishwashers do get hot enough, having options specifically for sanitizing during a cycle. It’s essentially Pasteurization which factors in not just temperature, but also time. While flash Pasteurization requires high temperature, longer times at lower temperatures can effectively kill harmful microorganisms.

Defederation means they consume all of the data from ActivityPub, you consume none of theirs.

It’s not that simple.

Their instance will be sent the data only if the post originates on an instance/community that is still federated with their instance. If a new post or comment is made in a community who’s instance isn’t federated with their instance, it will not be sent via ActivityPub. A more detailed explanation of how that works is in this post.

Yeah, that dude’s take reads just like climate science denial and flat earth conspiracies.
