It’s not even necessarily the ISPs that are doing it. In many cases they don’t like this because their users start getting blocked on websites; it’s bad actors piggy-packing on legitimate users connections without those users’ knowledge.
There are residential IP providers that provide services to scrapers, etc. that involves them having thousands of IPs available from the same IP ranges as real users. They route traffic through these IPs via malware, hacked routers, “free” VPN clients, etc. If you block the IP range for one of these addresses you’ll also block real users.
When I worked for a startup we’d sometimes go out for lunch and everyone would have a drink or two. We also kept beer in the office fridge but that was reserved for more Friday afternoons.
It’s not soaring demand but cratering supply that’s spiking prices. Millions of chickens were culled due to bird flu and so there’s an egg shortage.
I think as a young child I had a banana flavoured oral antibiotic drink drug for an ear infection.
Once his party picks a new leader, yes.
I don’t think it’s void exactly - there’s some stuff around visas that’s still active. But yeah, as far as being a trade agreement it’s pretty worthless.
That article is already outdated - they’re still saying it’s set for tomorrow: https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/north-america-braces-new-trump-tariffs-saturday-deadline-nears-2025-01-31/
Just going to mention that if you’re okay with non-FOSS office software, I really like Softmaker’s suite (their buy-once non-subscription version).
This is what I do. I love it.
That only works if the carbon in the plastic originally came from the atmosphere, but we use oil to make plastics. So increased demand for plastic = increased demand for oil, and that oil was already sequestered to begin with.
Think of it this way - imagine nationally the election is close and how your state distributes EC votes determines the outcome. Let’s further say 70% of your citizens voted for candidate A, but for candidate A to win nationally they need all your EC votes. Given that your state laws should primarily be for the benefit of said state’s citizens, would you really want an outcome that 70% of your state’s voters don’t want? All it would take is one election where this determined the outcome before the voters would make it “winner takes all”.
Many distros (at least Ubuntu) auto-installs security updates, and here a mislabeled “security update” was auto-installed. This is not the fault of the sysadmins.
Looked it up myself - they’re still counting votes but as of now 63.8% of voters supported it.
Article didn’t say - how much did it pass by?
No. They have a trial of 100 one-time searches, but that’s it.
The extended support updates aren’t available to end consumers but is a paid product for enterprises that need more time to update.
That’s hard for me to answer because I’m usually at home plugged in, and I set the max charge in the bios to only 65% so the battery will physically degrade slower (I don’t need the charge). A few hours is really all I can say with any accuracy. Worth noting a few things -
I will say that if long battery life is your #1 concern this may not be the laptop for you.
Ditto. I use unique passwords for services I care about / someone could exfiltrate sensitive data, and a cheap reused password for services I don’t care about and could easily regain access to with a password reset email.
