When I'm done with a lawn mower, I turn it off, put it away. When I'm done with my car, I turn it off and put it in the garage.
So many apps claim they are "frozen/sleeping" but when you run another app, they show they are still doing something
because they are eating up CPU cycles, battery, send/receive data.
When I'm done with an app, I force close it if I'm not going to use it again for a while, or, at the end of the day.
Replace it with a fair/flat tax and watch most of that money, come back to the USA, where it
can be put to work. I don't understand why, "the poor" don't understand why they oppose it
since they will see the biggest benefit.
It also takes the power of government (congress, senate) to tax out of their hands.
Let me explain how these things work, and what MAY of happened.
The car dash cam comes on when you flip on the lights/siren. It's automatic.
It can be turned on manually, but typically it isn't needed unless you instigate a traffic
stop. The body cams, are activated when you get out of the car. It's like a habit, you
don't even know you turned them on, it's an automatic thing.
Now, from what I've been able to read, the two officers involved, rolled up on this report
of an assault, NON CODE. They had just arrived, and this lady comes up to the vehicle
in her PJ's. For whatever reason, she either made some movement, maybe a loud voice,
perhaps someone discharged fireworks...right now, WHO knows. But, something caused
the officer in the passenger side to draw and fire his weapon, ACROSS HIS PARTNER and
it struck the woman. The officer in question I believe, had only been on the job a couple years,
but has already racked up several complaints, or which I do not know of the severity. But,
something spooked him into discharging his weapon from the passenger side, in front of his
partner, to strike the woman.
I'd wait for the investigation, before I pass judgement, but, it sure looks to me, that man won't
be an officer any longer.
Came from sunspot 2665, which is just about to move out of the earth facing part of the sun.
Fired off a small M class flare Thursday? Hit Sunday. The 10 meter ham band was hoping pretty
good Sunday.
The push to use plastic, tap to pay etc...it NOT for the convenience, but, because once you eliminate
CASH, you remove your freedom to an extent. Yeah, they can lock up your account and you can't get
to your money, but, you could, keep cash around your house if you are so inclined.
But, if the government "outlaws" the use of cash (India banned certain denominations), and don't think this
CAN'T happen, the government can control what you do. Try to purchase a "big mac"...sorry sir...your last
medical checkup says your BMI is too high, we'll approve a salad instead.
Try to buy an SUV, sorry sir, the SUV doesn't get good gas mileage, how about a hybrid, or better yet, move
closer to where you work and take a bus or ride a bicycle.
DON'T think it can't happen. Hell, we already GIVE UP our privacy every time we use a smartphone, computer
or pretty much anything else. We put up with the TSA strip searching people in the name of "security".
Sad, but the government state, is in a period of a soft tyranny. Eventually, it will become a hard tyranny, or
the "one world order" BS.
If it is caused by man, then explain why BEFORE man, many species have come and gone.
And even if man were NOT here, many species will go.
More crap to stir up the government educated lDIOTS that can't think for themselves, but
continue to spout 30 second sound bites...because that is all they know.
Love it. I HATE driving somewhere to get something that I don't "have to have" right now. Prime, it's here in a couple
days. Plus, I think I've watched about every documentary on WW2, WW1, Civil war, etc on Prime video they have this
past winter, or when the weather is bad.
The "Algores" of the world will be telling us that we are doomed, sea levels will rise, people will die
dogs & cats will be living together in sin! We're doomed!
Big whoop! So an iceberg the size of delaware broke off. About the only impact it will have is all the
nut job photo hunters wanting to go take a photo of it, screwing up the sea lanes when it reaches a
more moderate temperature zone, and, getting to close to it as chunks the size of buildings fall off
and smack their boats.
Stuff like this has been going on since the ice age, it's just that "humans" are here to witness it.
You want "progressive" garbage? YOU GET IT.
What the city council doesn't realize, is a lot of these that can, will move OUTSIDE of
Seattle to escape the tax. You'll have more traffic, as people want to travel from OUTSIDE
of Seattle to work INSIDE of Seattle. You tax base will go DOWN, not up.
Just look at the people that work IN New York City, but refuse to live in NYC because the
taxes. Or, a LOT of major "urban" liberal run cities...like Chicago.
Sorry, you "man made" global warming morons are still trying to get water out of a dry hole.
Yeah, 50 years worth of data, "might" show an increase in so called climate change, but,
when you look at the history of the world, when man's been around, it's been warmer, and colder.
You really want to know what changes the weather patterns & temperature on this planet?
Look up in the sky during the day, but DON'T look directly at it...you could damage your eyes.
It's called THE SUN.
The BIGGEST problem with having "broadband for everyone" is how spread out America is.
ALL of Europe, including England, would fit inside the land area of the USA, with room to spare.
It's why it cracks me up, when I see misleading statements about how poor the USA is, in broadband
speed. Heck, you can take a ferry from England, to Holland, rent a car, and drive across Europe in about
a day. If two cars leave the Texas/Oklahoma border at the same time, one traveling north, the other south,
the one traveling north will enter Canada, before the one traveling south hits Mexico. And that is just ONE
state. I drove from the southwest part of Missouri, near the Missouri/Oklahoma/Kansas border, to Detroit
Michigan, and it took TWO days, and I don't drive the speed limit, and, all of my trip was on interstate highways
with 70mph speed limits.
Thanks to political correctness, you can't even comment about someone "looking nice" anymore without
being written up. Women, those wanting to climb the corporate ladder at any cost, will do ANYTHING to
get themselves "noticed", going so far as to make allegations against a coworker.
The problem with sexual harassment is that unless you have proof, it's a he said she said issue.
But, with the Gloria Allreds of the world waiting for a chance to pounce on a microphone & camera, and,
the media looking for another "juicy" story to help cover the 24/7 news cycle, it turns into a political circus.
Make prison/jail cells faraday cages. No electronic signal gets in, none gets out.
Oh! But they won't be able to watch TV or listen to the radio. SO WHAT! It's not a bed & breakfast!
IT'S A PRISON!
Who didn't see THAT coming!
Windows will eventually become a subscription based OS. MS had to see how Adobe is doing with
their cloud based setup, and probably figured it would be easier. Just think from a business standpoint.
Instead of getting an influx of cash every couple years when a new version comes out, you get a lower,
but sustained model, which makes it easier to plan for this or that, if you know the capital you have on hand.
Hey, I held off on photoshop cloud but switched about 6 months ago. I've had 2-3 major updates, and that means
I didn't have to "buy" a new version. 10 bucks a month, for a "normal" retail package of photoshop, selling for
anywhere from 500-1000 dollars, I'd have to use it a long time to make up that, at 10 bucks a month, plus I get
to run it on TWO computers (home/laptop), so it's kind of 5 dollars a month per computer (and yes it's legal, before
I made the switch, I sent them an email to inquire about it).
Here! We'll "let" you live in housing we create! You can live here, work here!
Oh, by the way, we'll CHARGE you 2-3 times normal, so basically you'll be a slave!
Congrats!
In my neck of the woods. The last ice age, pretty much stopped in our neck of the woods. You should see
the problem with building anything around here. Drill a few feet down and you hit nothing but rock. About
the only black dirt you have around here is near rivers. Otherwise, it's mostly red dirt/rock.

See ya...
What does this have to do about technology?
When I'm done with a lawn mower, I turn it off, put it away. When I'm done with my car, I turn it off and put it in the garage.

Just like the dead tree media companies. Old, outdated, replaced.

Google, Amazon, anyone....meta data is the new "gold" for them to sell.

Same here. Once Amazon came along, unless I can't find it on Amazon, I rarely go to ebay anymore.
Phone, computer, iPad etc? Granted...their system integration actually WORKS, but still...
Make prison/jail cells faraday cages. No electronic signal gets in, none gets out. Oh! But they won't be able to watch TV or listen to the radio. SO WHAT! It's not a bed & breakfast! IT'S A PRISON!

Never learn from history. Part of San Fran, wrecked in the Earthquake of 1906, was built on an old landfill. How did that work out for ya?
