Ignoring the fact that Italians eat much smaller portions of pasta on average and usually only as a starter course. Most Italians aren’t eating mountains of spaghetti or gorging all-you-can-eat pasta bowls like in America.
Plus Mac ‘n’ Cheese isn’t anything like an Italian pasta dish.
Because you are not receiving 'a GPS signal'. You are receiving a multitude of GPS and GLONASS signals. From the time stamps and positional information encoded in these signals you then have to calculate your position. All these calculations are time-critical, so I guess they don't combine very well with power saving features.
Why there have beeen tremendous amounts in rendering speeds and all kinds of image processing, but not in the calculation of these GPS coordinates, that is a mystery to me as well.
MTOW is already affecting airlines that squeeze in too many seats. Norwegian had to cancel its summer route to Las Vegas because there were too many days over 104 degrees. Beyond that temperature they cannot get their insanely dense packed planes of the ground.
Right now I could use a better GPU for rendering. Of course the CPUs are maxed out too, but a new GPU would be great and could extend the life of the machine.
The new MacOS will support external GPU cards. Right now only available to developers, but that is bound to change.
ThinkPad professional series users (T and P series) are paying a lot of money for their machines compared to the $300 consumer junk at the low end of the line.
I bought one of those €300 machines for my son. Totally worth it: het dropped it on the floor within a month, and the charging cable bent the chassis. Thing wouldn't close anymore. But after unscrewing a lot of screws, and a small plier job, I managed to get everything working again! Even their consumer junk is built quite well I must say.
Best thing that happened to that machine was a failure of the Windows partition. I had to re-install Windows from scratch on a fresh formatted disk, and that left no trace of the Lenovo bloatware. Machine seems to be running 100% OK (but still as fast as molasses) on the vanilla Windows drivers.
47.9 cents/kWh? That's insane. The newest offshore turbine parks in Europe will deliver for less than 10 cents / kWh. Mind you, that's Eurocents.
Cheapest one will be built for the Danish coast, 400 MW of power, 4.99cents/kWh.
Form over function has always been a danger; and failure to test your output on a reasonable simulation of what people will actually view it on has always been a mistake; but the contrast is particularly glaring when the gulf between the sort of screens that 'content creators' tend to use and the average quality of screens site visitors are using is so enormous. It has always been there; but it has not always been so wide.
It's not the screen quality where the gap is - it is the eye quality. Designers tend to be young, between 20 and 30, and design for their peers. They have no idea that eyesight deteriorates that fast with age, they just can't image.
Add to that the principle that we tend to find things prettier when their outline is less defined (which happens when you reduce the contrast) and you have recipe for disaster. Designer lowers contrast up till the point where he can still read it, but barely. Everyone with worse eyesight, which is everyone 10 or more years older, can't read the text anymore.
So then, your entertainment systems don't do bluetooth, which is another tech that fanboys like to crow about. That's very interesting. Just how OLD are these cars and their entertainment systems anyways?
Seriously, it's not 2003 any more.
I bought my primary set of headphones in 2002 for a considerable price. No chance in hell I'm going to chance it because of an ephemeral phone.
If people want that DRM-free model to succeed, I would recommend buying your games from such non-DRMed outlets, rather than DRMed ones like Steam. I've seen some games release on both GOG and Steam simultaneously, and the Steam version with DRM outsold the GOG version without DRM by 5:1 or more! That is sending the message that people prefer DRM.
If you want companies to release more DRM-free stuff, you need to reward the ones who do, and punish the ones who don't.

Or just sit down and step up again.
We have some interesting court sessions ahead of us. I just hope the newspapers will understand what they are writing about.

I'm certain that if you could get away with it Try-onair would already be doing it.
You are absolutely right. They asked permission to do this five years ago, but were denied. Though I suspect they just threw around the plan for free publicity.

I've got a t-shirtfor you.
Obviously, you are dumb. Caviar is the most desirable substance on Earth, and the best comes from Russia. You don't want to cut it off, do you?
I would say the best is from Iran (if most expensive == best). And he clearly is spoiling that supply route.
Adam Curry is also the ‘podfather’, he's the guy that invented podcasting as we know it. Good to hear he is still around.

obligatory Peter Jackson, skip to the 9:00 mark for the enhancement action.
Screaming through the universe?
In space no one can hear you scream.
Only if both devices are on the same wifi network. I never managed to get airdrop working at the times and places I needed it.

Unless and until the exact criteria are published, this is worthless horseshit.
Horseshit isn't worthless.

Europe in the lead this time.

Did anyone else misread this this way when they first saw the article?
Short answer: No
Long answer: It's only a 2 hour drive.

And slightly off-topic, the same goes for music. If you want ownership, buy ownership and not a subscription. Music sellers Bandcamp posted a nice item on their blog on the music industry's confusion over the difference between streaming and subscription based services. Bandcamp grew 35% last year - DRM-free music ownership is alive and kicking.
Not in the Alps.
Find these fuckers and execute them live on PPV. Maybe that would put a damper on this shit.
I have a musical suggestion for you.
You mean, like leafsnap?
