Hmm, I wonder if this is localized to the base and it's close to the temp sensor. The lit portion of the LED bulbs I have are cool or slightly warm, whereas a similar incandescent bulb is hot enough to leave blisters if not careful.
Very often the sticker is used as an excuse. Sorry, but we see you have a known service issue that we normally repair for free, but since it seems you took the device in the past to a repair shop not owned by use, we will refuse to repair it. Too bad you're just one person and signed the arbitration agreement so that you can't sue us.
Why not remove the ads? It's bad publicity for Youtube. And bad publicity is usually bad business. Most sites should take care about the ads they choose, protecting their brand.
Modern autos are vastly better built than the older cars, they have fewer problems overall. I had a 36MPG car that lasted 13 years, and it failed with transmission issues and not from the engine. Before then I had cars that were in the shop all the time.
My parents always had a Dodge or Chrysler when I was growing up, because that's the dealer they went to in town. They were not at all reliable cars and were often being worked on. Sometimes when the warranty wore out they'd get a new car rather than deal with the maintenance headaches. They kept being loyal customers though, and I never really knew why. Later on my mother goes to look at new Chryslers and she just didn't like the look of any of them. A bit of a nudge and she drives a couple towns over and buys an Accord instead. That's been going strong now for over a decade, rarely in the shop, and she loves it. Some of that is due to going to a better auto maker, but a lot is due to newer cars just being better cars.
Teslas are currently luxury automobiles. Anyway, in the last four decades at least, if you wanted to get a good quality efficient and economical car your best bet was with a Japanese brand (even if partially made in US). The US Big Three auto makers just don't do a very good job. They're certainly getting better but it's still catching up.
Ya, I never liked the CFL bulbs. I don't see them much anymore in the stores. The LEDs though last a lot longer than many old incandescent bulbs, especially if you turn them on and off a lot, so you're not throwing them away often.
New LED light bulbs fit into my old fixtures just fine. They're all screw-in. The price has gone way down since the first days of LED bulbs, and they last a lot long than my old incandescent bulbs used to.
It's just politics. They know they will lose since every vote these days is about doing what their party bosses tell them to do, not what they think is best fo the country. They want the vote because then they can point fingers at their opponents in the upcoming elections. I'm all for net neutrality, but it's going to eventually die from extreme swamp exposure.
Too often the "correct" thread is full of incorrect answers. Saying "asked and answered" is being hostile, especially when the question is not exactly the same and is seeking detail or clarification or is questioning the answers. Sometimes it feels like the substitute teacher saying "we already had a vote that two plus two equals five, so stop asking about it!"
Ie, I often see things like "How do I do in C?" and they are pointed forcefully at a C# answer. Or "how can I do without using Boost libraries", only to be given answers about how to use Boost.
Because stack overflow is a social media site where people earn points by answering and can be voted up and down, it's a competition to get in the most answers or comments, right or wrong.
From looking at stack overflow, I can only conclude that they're all novice coders. The quality has declined amazingly since the early days and now it's like "help me do my homework" questions being answered by C students.
Well, sure, if you leave it on all day. I think people on a budget who just don't run out and buy a new replacement aren't leaving the computers on all day. I think my mom has her laptop on maybe 1 hour a day or so.
These discs did not have an operating system on them. They were copies of a restore disc which is freely available online from Microsoft and most major computer vendors. You can get them trivially over the internet, unless of course you have a broken computer. The discs he was selling was for $0.25, which is essentially the cost of the disk itself with no profit.
This is not at all the reason that copyright laws were written. And besides the case was mostly about trademark and not copyright. Yes, he made a mistake, it's worthy of a lawsuit but not jail time.
The problem was with importing the disks. Sure, he did this to save money so that they could be sold for only $0.25. Seems like a good idea at the time. The snag though is if there were trademarks being imported from China then it's a crime (thanks to the vast armies of lobbyists). If he had these disks made in the US then it would have been only a civil matter and not a criminal one.
The courts have a ignorance factor. They are not experts and instead rely upon expert witnesses. The problem here is with them granting extra credibility to the Microsoft witnesses.
The trademarks however are not worth $25 per disk with the trademark. Also trademark violations are a civil offense, they don't result in criminal trial that can lead to jail time but instead are resolved through a normal lawsuit process.
There is a snag if you've got an old computer with a broken OS and no way to connect to the internet. The recovery disk helps with that. Upgrading to Windows 10 is impossible on most of the computers, and even if it weren't you have no OS to download the files to attempt to upgrade. So a recovery disk is the logical and seemingly legal way to do so.
However, Microsoft says these are "lost sales". The only logic where this makes sense is if they consider a user staying with an older product instead of throwing away the computer and getting a new one with a new OS pre-installed. Ie, being able to repair the computer.
Microsoft wants people to upgrade and is desperate enough for this that they're willing to let someone go to jail rather than allow broken computers to be fixed.
We can plant more trees. A natural and easy way to absorb carbon. Only drawback are the pesky humans intent on cutting them all down.
Just sequestering in a rock is sort of an odd choice, it's sort of permanent. With trees, you can use them for something and they're renewable. Even fossil fuels were usable. If we could use the sequestered carbon in the rocks for energy purposes, that would be useful.
There are no standards that say you must have a certain amount of emissions or higher, or that put a cap on MPG. The federal standards say your cars must be at least of a certain emissions quality but does not prohibit them from being even better. If there really were 50 standards then automakers could decide what's the most profitable for them; ignore small states, or have a Texas edition versus California edition, or just make one type that matches all. In reality there are really only two standards, the federal one and the CARB standard followed by 17 states.
Remember, California had fuel and emissions standards before the feds did.

Except for the US, which sets the low bar for other countries to leap over.

Funny jokes are often insightful.

Well, it is hard to find engineers who are halfway decent at writing documentation...

Artificial intelligence is not the same as artificial sentience.
It's called the RIGHTEOUS. act at the moment, and senators are struggling to come up with the exact words that the acronym stands for.

I'd double check the coins to see if they were just silver plated.

No, but they will definitely shrink.
