I remember NiCad batteries still being used in power wheels toys as a kid. For all I know they may still be, but the battery advancements have been particularly amazing.
I used to be a POS tech. It’s such a gross, mismanaged walled garden.
Currently I spend a lot of time advising against pop ups like that :^)
The propaganda works though. People outside of the US struggle to see, and believe that the US has its own damning problems. 2 years ago I got close to a Romanian bartender while traveling. She told me about how she held scorn for her sister, who moved to the US despite having been warned against it.
What happened to her sister is what so many of us are victims of. Debt trapping, stalled wages, poor access to medical care and financial incentive to not seek care. Not to mention the poor quality food that wears you down.
As a result, she has had to send money to both her sister and Mom, and had to cancel several contract terms and vacation seasons off to care for her Mother. Her sister couldn’t help due to being in debt, and at risk of losing her job if she were to travel, regardless of the emergency.
It’s a cruel system that bundles up as an image of living free. The marginally higher standard of living has a lot of cracks, but they’re hard to see until you’re living with them.
Hi, you can believe what you want to believe, but I wish I pursued care when I was younger (began questioning at the onset of puberty) rather than transitioning at 25.
The most commonly used model is puberty blockers with parental consent up until 16 and then HRT only with parental consent at 16.
Forcing a child to undergo a puberty that they do not want, is cruel!
Children do not choose to transition because they think it’s cool to do so. They still get bullied for it. At least set them up to have a more stable adulthood.
They’re pretty few and far between in the Northeast. Not to say they don’t exist, but they’re far from common.
This is a case of tone not coming across text well 😅
I’m agreeing with you
It’s literally slur reclamation. The same way you’ll find the f slur in queer spaces sometimes but not others. Referring to trans people as “transgenders” or even just referring to someone as “a trans” is actively used in an extremely hateful way frequently. If you’re cis, it might be a good idea to just accept that people don’t like to be referred to that way.
Just an idea.
Wait until you learn about this extreme thing called sublimation, it’s going to blow your mind…
Oh it’s not directly one of the three states? Plasma isn’t real? I better learn my basics again.
Trans people have literally been murdered as a direct, traceable result of her “free speech”. Several more people have been victims of harassment campaigns. She has actively engaged in Holocaust denial.
It’s only cryptic because it’s something that requires nuance, and to be addressed on a case by case basis. It’s safe to say that we have crossed the line and then some
If you actually just set it up, this is the perfect time to reset it, and then press shift + F10 then enter “oobe\bypassnro”
It will reboot and you will be able to say that you don’t have access to the Internet and set up a local account. That /might/ remove some bloat as well, without needing to reinstall from a flash drive. Which would require reinstalling drivers also.
Taking medium into account changes everything. A sculpture artist or painter doesn’t have the same interest or concern about AI art yet, and may never. They also tend to not have the same comprehensive view of AI generation as well as training data.
That being said, digital photography doesn’t remotely compare. If I were to set my DSLR up with a lens, set an F stop and shutter speed, the results would be similar to that of a film camera. A sensor takes in light in the same way film does. A 30 second exposure at a 500 ISO will compare to a 30 second camera on a certain film type, which is comparable to ISO settings.
Artificially bumping up light sensitivity on a DSLR degrades image quality. Analog and digital are largely comparable. So how would it apply to photography? It’s not just automatically making a picture, and if it were doing that on auto, it’s still not all that different from a film photo with generic catch all sensors and light metering.
Photography is all about catching the moment, personally I captured night landscapes via manual long exposure on a DSLR, but none of that is automatic.
It’s insane. The documentation is often times half accurate and feels like navigating a minefield of half truths, depreciations and context clues to find the solution to problems.

Only if you have an E5 license! If you have an E3 it’s still compliance and you can trial purview features
I’ll be so honest, the best android emulator is just downloading the Android SDK. You can pull off anyyyyy set up you want.
I love going to Entra (azure), the authentication manager (admin, legacy and Entra), the defender dashboard for DLP, wait no compliance, and then uh, what license do I need for this? It’s a NIGHTMARE navigating their depreciated shit. Absolutely unreal
As a trans woman, the look on someone’s face when I said there were at least 9 variations on the 23rd pair is always priceless. It doesn’t matter if having one of those variations is irrelevant to being trans, it shuts down their sixth grade understanding of biology and sex determination.
Yes I had the discussion with someone who I thought was better than this today.
They vary heavily by region. They’re fine in the northeast floating around $3/gal
Obviously that’s not a product of Biden, it’s from the free market etc etc
I’ll take the bear in case you were wondering too.
Care to explain what an awful choice that is?
