It can clock up to 3.7 GHz and has a decent GPU for an Intel one. All I can say for sure is that it keeps up just fine.

I have an N100 box running as my Plex server. It has no problem transcoding multiple 4k videos at once. This processor is no M2 but it isn’t really a slouch either.

Almost certainly not since the keyboard is $110 add-on. It is not included by default.

Maoism <> Marxism.

So, yes, you are off-topic.

Not an accountant, but maybe they have expense them differently or across a different time frame depending on utilization.

While I completely agree with you, they have better lawyers and deeper pockets, so don’t be surprised if they somehow have it both ways.

Why would those colleges admit them? Any college worth attending already has more than enough qualified applicants.

I finally dropped YoutubeTV for the summer months because we are seldom watching tv over the summer, choosing to spend more time outside. I haven’t missed it at all. They’ll probably get me back next month when college football starts again but I’m leaning pretty hard towards dropping it again after the new year. The price increase, even though it hadn’t kicked in for me at the time was absolutely the catalyst.

I do too and it works great. Unfortunately, I tend to be on my iPad in the evenings or early mornings, so I get stymied.

Some of us old timers remember the bad old days when a CD with two songs you actually liked cost $17.99 (about $35-40 in today’s dollars). As bad as Spotify and others are it sure beats what we had before.

It was definitely available in the US App Store earlier this year because I have it installed on both of my iOS devices. I can’t find any info as to when and why it was removed.

I agree completely with your review of Magic Earth. I will say that I keep some maps on my phone in Organic Maps as well. They are easier for me to follow when hiking on forest trails. When we went trailblazing on snowshoes, it made finding our way back to the main route simple.

Because my hands are filthy. I don’t want to get my phone all sticky/muddy/bloody or anything else you can imagine.

I have lived in one state that had open primaries. A voter still had to choose which primary to vote in that day. Some independent voters will choose to vote in the R primary and some in the D primary but you still have the problem of moderates largely joining the party primary with the most influence in their area.

Not all that relevant. AZ has seen a steady growth in population for decades. Heat deaths are up 2.5x since 2016 (and even more if you look at 2015). The state population hasn’t changed nearly that fast. It’s about doubled since I lived there in the early 2000s. Meanwhile, heat deaths are up about 10x since then.

Mostly, the “laudable goals” language is to shut down the think of the children argument because everyone knows this isn’t really about that.

If they started off denigrating the bill without acknowledging the stated intent, you end up with the nonsense of my favorite radio commercial of the moment. I don’t even remember what it’s for but the following exchange cracks me up.

A: Think of the children.

B: The children aren’t what’s important right now.

A: Fine. Forget the children.

B: No. That’s worse.

You don’t have downvotes? I’m using Wefwef and the downvotes are listed under the three dots to the right of the post.

Is it really though? If I were to go and buy my first ever crypto coin today would you really say the expected value is greater than 0?

I have no doubt those who got in years ago or mine coins using other’s resources have an expected value greater than 0 but that’s not the entire market. I hope.

Worse device depends on the user. In my mid-30s, I loved all the tweaks and options my Android phone gave me. Now, as I push 50, I find I want my phone to just work. iOS does that for me. I have a dozen other devices I can hack around on.

Where’s my Ultra 3?
