I would much rather pay a higher price and be without all that crap. If vendors would offer that as an option I expect they would be surprised how many people would take it.
They do offer that. Buy a commercial display intended for digital signage in a conference center. They are dumb, and usually have lots of inputs.
I can send you a bag of avocados and a loaf of bread, how's that?
Will they ever ripen? Are they stringy AF? Most of the avos in my local super (in Fort Bragg, CA) are crap. Every so often they have some good ones, but most of those must be going to Whore Foods or something.
So you have a botany degree? I would think the guy that spends all this time in the fucking high CO2 greenhouse might know more than you.
I have a citation. (That's the second one, actually.) That's better than a degree, because plenty of people have degrees and still don't know shit. But also, a botany degree refers to plant biology, we're talking about mammalian biology. At least try to keep up.
Project much? Just because you are a cheater, a thief, or a liar doesn't mean everyone else is a cheater, etc.
Don't be an idiot if you can avoid it. I'm not talking about me. I'm talking about life. Life will find a way, and not in a Jurassic Pork sense. Only robots would be satisfied with such a stupid stalemate.
Mark my words, nukes will be used in war this century if CO2 hits 500+ppm due to environmental damage (aka famine) initiated refugee crises.
I feel like I've still got it over here on Pale Moon. If I back up to a form here on Slashdot, or on those other rare sites that actually use HTML+CSS instead of doing everything with Javascript, whatever I put into the forms is still there...
In Season 1, Episode 23 of Star Trek, the Enterprise visits two worlds that are at continuous war. The war is ran via computers, and people that are victims in a "hit" report to a facility to be terminated.
That's not how it would ever work. One side would eventually cheat, commit the people who didn't suicide to war, and win.
got to be the most profitable company in the world by selling relatively small amounts of product at very high prices
Apple initially made its name by selling fairly large amounts of product at relatively low prices. Then it switched to selling fairly small amounts of product at significantly high prices. It got to be the most profitable company in the world by selling highly-polished products (in the shiny sense) which came with lock-in.
So is everybody going to pay the same amount for the service or is this going to be some scam where first-world countries subsidize third-world...again?
First-world nations steal wealth from third-world nations on the regular. Throwing them back some bread crumbs will hardly break the bank.
In fact, CO2 adjusts itself to counteract the Sun's output, because rock weathering, absorbing CO2 and turning it into carbonate, is accelerated at higher temperatures.
Most of the CO2 removed from the atmosphere goes into the oceans, and then into subaquatic limestone. Only now the ocean is too acidic to take more CO2, and the limestone can't take it fast enough to deacidify the oceans.
"Apple's macOS uses the IOMMU, but even with the hardware defense enabled, the researchers were able to use a fake network card to read data traffic that is meant to be confined to the machine and never leave it,"
Clearly they're either not using the IOMMU very well, their network stack is garbage, or both. So uh... which is it?
No need for 3rd party politicly active payment services.
They're all politically active. All the big payment processors have dropped people for political reasons, mostly for political or religious hate speech. I'm no fan of the groups they've dropped, but I'm no fan of the processors being able to refuse to process payments on ideological grounds either, so as far as I'm concerned there are no winners involved. If it can go one way in a liberal context, it can as easily go the other way in a conservative one.
" I want Apple users to be able to get apps elsewhere." - Well, that's not a "legal right" but in fact, you actually can. They don't have to make that easy for you though:
Their deliberately making it difficult is restraint of trade, and when coupled with their monopoly over non-difficult app stores for the platform it may well be illegal, that is if the government were actually to look into what effects it has on the market.
As someone who has a degree in botany and has worked in greenhouses that were maintained at 1500ppm. You should know that CO2 levels become dangerous at 5000 ppm, not 1200ppm.
Your degree in botany may speak to your ability to determine what effect CO2 has on plants, but it has no bearing on your ability to determine its effects on humans and other mammals.
He's talking about his personal experience being inside greenhouses kept at 1500ppm, not how plants react to it.
He's the one who brought up a botany degree, my point was that it was irrelevant in the context of the conversation. You seem to agree, so it's unclear why you think the above sentence has any bearing on the conversation.
CO2 has negative health repercussions beginning at about 1000 ppm, which vary between individuals.
Your source only suggests that action be taken in a domestic setting at 1000ppm to avoid higher levels, and that it causes slight drowsiness starting around 1000ppm. This hardly constitutes a serious danger to health.
I don't see where I claimed it did. Perhaps you could point that out to me.
That said, a world in which just going outside causes mild sick building syndrome is pretty messed up.
Agreed. And also, a world in which you're expected to work in an environment which causes sick building syndrome is also messed up, but we're somehow meant to take an anecdote about doing so as meaningful. It isn't.
They only allow their devices, and ironically that's how it's NOT a monopoly. Apple's app store is their own, unlike a locked-in browser choice to access the entire "free" internet.
That's the opposite of my point. I don't want access to the app store, I want Apple users to be able to get apps elsewhere.
Apple's iOS and product line is under zero obligation to be open, emulate Android's bullshit no-wall-garden, or support devices they don't want it to. That's not a monopoly or what it means, that's a product line.
Microsoft was found guilty of abusing its monopoly position in the marketplace in spite of not having a literal monopoly. Of course, Ashcroft under Bush decided that they shouldn't be punished. Then Gates put his money into his foundation where it was hard to touch.
Apple does have a monopoly over those devices, which they enforce with anticompetitive restrictions on app stores.
With that said, Alphabet should be broken up. Google search. Google ads. Youtube. Waymo. They should all be genuinely separate, not all under the Alphabet umbrella. Putting them together gives Alphagooglebet too much power and incentive to track people.

Germans aren't exactly known for making garbage systems that don't work,
They let Hitler run the system, and that didn't work out for them — and that's what the Germans are best-known for.

Religious wingnuttery is a way more likely cause.

While I believe that parents should have the right to choose what is right for their children
Like to bring back ancient Greek man-boy love? Or to sell off their daughters at tween ages?
Let us not pretend that parents always have their children's best interests in mind.
Knew an alcoholic that said something similar about drinking.
Politics is what happens when people disagree. Alcohol doesn't leap down your throat.

Time for some tech freedom and funding competition away from politics
You can't get away from politics without being a hermit. You can either make it work for you, or get worked over by it.

(And why "E"? Did you just pull that out of your ass? If so, why not "USB 3 acx" or some similar alphabet soup like the 802.11 people employ?)
Because AT&T. I probably should have said 3.0 to 3.2 E, though. My bad.
Why not just USB 5GBS, USB 10GBS?! Would that be so difficult?!
The obvious answer is to refer to USB 3.1 as USB 3.2 E

Intel comms tech falling into China's hands would set China back five years.
Poor Intel, can't find a trustworthy partner, and also isn't competent to do the work themselves. Get out the plunger, they're heading for the drain.
