And, as with Fakebook...if "the elderly" (according to the youth, that probably means anyone over 40) start wearing apple watches
constantly, the "youth" will do like they are with Fakebook, and find something else LOL.
Ewwwwww...granny has the same watch I do, yuck! I better find something else. I don't want an "old people's" watch.
Busy bodies want everyone to live, eat, breathe like THEY do, so now they are getting us use to having our heart rate, activity
levels on our phones, watches for "your convenience", then the insurance companies will start using the data, as well as the
government allowing or not allowing health care, once they end up taking over the health care industry in a few years.
They are also getting us use to not paying "in cash" by using our phones, watches, of course, for your convenience.
Once people ditch cash, they can just make it a law that you CANNOT use cash. Once THAT happens everything you
do, everything you buy will be MONITORED. Tie health care into that, and then when you want to order a cheese burger,
your card, tap, implanted under the skin chip will not be allowed, because you were too fat at your last mandated government
checkup. Plus, if the government gets in trouble, like they did in Greece, just take the money from the banks. It's all just
data anyway, no "cash" that you can hide.
DON'T think it can't happen!
The Russians did it the Russians did it.
Just more crap by the socialist liberals that want to take away your rights.
If elections can't be trusted, we'll just "self appoint" ourselves to run the government.
THAT is their ultimate goal. Most democrats & most republicans want it that way.
Our office, 15-20 people midwest, we have the OWNER that carries and probably 4-5 people that carry.
We are all 2nd amendment promoters and believe everyone that is responsible and has the legal right to
carry, should be permitted to do so.
These "gun free" zones are just like dangling a worm on a hook, near a fish.
Don't have to, but, I do 2-3 days a week because IT'S QUIET, no phones, no email, text, NOTHING.
I can do things & check on the stuff I want to research without interruption. One thing I refuse it to
"take it home" with me. My work email is on do not disturb from 5:30pm to 6:30am during the week
and from 5:30pm Friday, to 6:30am Monday. If it is an emergency, flipping call 911.
Once they perfect it, then all these deep state clowns can start their "new world order".
but obviously they will disguise it under the name of "safety & security". Once people
figure it out, it will be too late!
He was on Fakebook! Over 6 MILLION likes!! Wow! That's awesome!
LOL, building his power base, so he won't get messed with in prison LOL.
Then what's he do? He creates ANOTHER fakebook account to share more
pirated movies.
This country could have been pretty much OUT of the coal/gas/oil power plant business decades ago,
if for not that stupid "The China Syndrome" fake movie. Between that movie and the Three mile island
crap a few years before, the uneducated thought having a nuke plant would cause a meltdown or blow up.
With all the safeguards in place, nuclear is VERY clean, compared to coal/oil/gas.
They can tout the so called benefits of wind/solar, but the amount of STORAGE capacity required to store
the harnessed energy. (batteries, capacitors?). What about when those die and need to be replaced?
The problem with wind/solar, is if you have a peak load event (super cold, super hot) you can't "gen up"
solar/wind, like you can a traditional generator power plant. If you have a power generation plant, you can
"kick it into high gear", but if it happens at night, or when the wind isn't blowing, if you don't have the power
stored, you can't produce it quickly.
of business, then once they control it, stop producing them, and it will take a decade or more
for someone else to design and bring one to market, more OIL money;)
Most multifunction copier/printers don't use "lamps" to heat things anymore. They use inductive coils.
One coil is mounted inside the machine. The other, is mounted inside the heat roller. When the two are
brought together, the eddy currents generate heat. 120 volts, 15 or 20 amp, to get the heat roller up to
around 250-400 degrees (F) so it will melt the power toner onto the page, and with the pressure between
it and the silicone rubber roller melt it into the paper fiber.
It generates a LOT of heat, on purpose.
So, I could see where a coil or coils, to charge a phone, watch, ipad or whatever, given a 5-10 amp load
could generate a lot of heat, to the point it would be a safety concern.
I had an update hit my samsung G3 watch in July, that fixed an overheat/not charging issue as the watch
when it would get to around 90% charge, would stop charging due to excess heat. That update fixed that.
Perhaps if Apple dropped the current, increased the charging time, it would lower the heat generated.
But, the "users" probably wouldn't like an increased charge time.
Or, have it "fast" charge if ONE device was detected, and increase the charge time, if more than one device
was detected. That shouldn't be hard to do. Increased impedance load should be able to be detected.
It's a PITA every year. Just set it and forget it!
Old Indian chief once said...only white man think he could cut bottom of blanket, sew onto top
and have longer blanket!
This might sound harsh, but the faster the entire world figures this out, the better.
STOP BREEDING LIKE RABBITS! In the USA, the "welfare" system has created generation after
generation of "welfare humans". People that have NEVER worked, NEVER been educated,
continuing the cycle! They have "baby mama" baby daddy" children who have NO IDEA who their
parent(s) are, grow up to imitative their parents so called lifestyle of drugs, crime, unwed mothers etc.
Before the 64 signing of the welfare system, they WERE progressing into earning their way out of the
stranglehold of the "jim crow" era, but then the government said, don't worry about it, we'll take care of
you (they should have asked the Indians (native americans) what they thought.
Plus, you had a lot of people in the democratic party, like LBJ, saying "we'll have those n****s voting democrat
for 200 years".
Some, are JUST NOW seeing the problem, and are now voting OUT their democratic slave masters, which
is why you see the democrats pushing to make ILLEGAL aliens, voters. They need a NEW block of people,
they can hoodwink!
Political correctness, will be the ultimate downfall of human society.
We'll get to the point where you can't say ANYTHING without offending
someone.
I'm offended, that people get offended!
They didn't "start" OnePlus...Oppo did, and, still makes ALL the OnePlus phones.
As for the user experience, Oppo's oneplus phones are nothing more than beta
test devices for more expensive Oppo phones. They have the users do the testing.
They ARE getting better, but still lack in a good out of the box/new experience. Too
many bugs/patches/updates to get it to work properly.
It started out as a cheaper high quality phone, but the price now is to the point you can
get a better phone for almost the same price.
When we put the indians on "tribal" lands, and said "we'll take care of you", provide them
with housing, food, medial etc...it was a perfect example of government instituted SOCIALISM.
How's that worked out for them?
And people are hell bent on having the entire country embrace communism/socialism?
NO THANK YOU!
The U.S. and: Japan, Sweden, South Korea, most European countries.
The problem is the population of the U.S. is SPREAD OUT over a large
area. For example, Japan, South Korea, Sweden, and probably most of
Europe would fit pretty much inside Texas, maybe encroaching on one of
the neighboring states. It is just not cost effective to run fiber to "John Q. Public"
in the middle of nowhere Kansas, where his nearest neighbor might be 10 miles
away, and the nearest town with a population of over 5,000 could be several
hundred miles away.
I know when I visited Mt. Rushmore in 2006, it was amazing driving I-90 between
Mitchell SD and Rapid City SD. You would go for miles and miles without seeing ANY
houses, then one here and there surrounded by large trees (blocks out the winter wind).
If you've ever heard of Wall SD with the Wall Drug "free ice water", then you'd understand
the problem. So many people live so far from "civilization" it isn't profitable to do broadband,
because they would never make their money back. Wifi would probably be a better option
than fiber. But, wifi obviously creates it's own problems.
crack dealers hook you by coming into a area, low balling the price, running everyone out, then jacking up the price.
Now, these opioid "dealers" get you hooked on their drug, NOW come up with a drug to get you off the drug they hooked
you on in the first place.
Wouldn't surprise me, people will get hooked on the drug, to get you hooked on the drug they wanted you on in the first
place, then will have to get you off the drug, that was suppose to get you off the drug, they hooked you on.
Screw that! It's not a college dorm room. It's a prison!
"Oh, but their rights"...screw that too! Make prisons a place YOU DO NOT want to be,
more like the 60's movie "Cool Hand Luke" and maybe they will think twice about breaking
the law!

Stupid ones, shouldn't be allowed to vote. A SIMPLE constitution test & history test should be required before voting to weed out the STUPID ones.

Maybe I'm missing something, but if one gets hacked?
Think maybe some long lost patent troll came along and wanted to raise a big stink?
I white list a few places (like here) but, everything else gets run though a VPN, uBlock and Adblock pro. WHAT ads?
