I'm getting PTSD-inducing flashbacks from the number of dongles and workarounds required to update those 16GB eMMC Windows tablets from a decade ago reading this thread

I'm surprised Mr Connections' video hasn't been brought up yet View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1lZ9n2bxWA

Are they doing fully regional pricing now? Just checked my CR account (that was rolled over from Funimation that was rolled over from AnimeLab) in NZ and prices are still listed as NZ$9.99/$12.49 per month for Fan/Mega Fan (no Ultra option) or NZ$99.99/$124.99 per year. That's only...

Ah hah! It was the Merovingian! Took me all 3.5 pages of comments to recall his name

In an alternate universe, Chiang Kai Shek did not screw over the people of Taiwan at the UN, and both China and Taiwan exist as de jure and de facto sovereign nations, with enough diplomatic clout on Taiwan's side that China never gets to be able to bully other nations into this stupid "is...

You underestimate how much the Taiwanese don't want to be annexed by the CCP. We saw what happened in Hong Kong.

I had an Intel Compute Stick years ago, now I want to see a Mac micro a là Shuffle, a gum stick Mac with an HDMI plug and USB 4 socket Slightly more on topic, I'm going with the iPhone Air being a technology demonstrator and mass production test run for a future folding iPhone which happens to...

Not going to speak for the other Taiwanese, but this one here would rather the current government of 23 million doesn't have to take on the burden of governing another billion more. "One China" (whichever 'China' you recognise) itself is buying into CCP rhetoric, a bit of a false dichotomy; a...

Reminds me of the old iTools/.Mac icon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MobileMe#iTools

A previous place I worked at had the call center staff write down login details to various systems on paper, taped to their monitors, etc. Seemed fine since customers aren't physically allowed there, and like you say, a physical breach would give us way more trouble—until you realise they...

Throw in another stretched-out shutdown of the economy from rampant pandemic(s), he may well make the most positive impact on climate change despite himself this century! Maybe he's another Tom Wheeler? (/s)

I get what you're saying, and yea, Framework would market a motherboard for both the 12" and 13" if it fit both, but you should know that for multiple years now, laptop manufacturers have been making small motherboards along with a basic IO daughterboard, connected with a flex cable, which they...

Eric mentioned in an AMA that international orders would not ship from the US

I'd say calling MAGA "Christians" is like grouping Islamist Extremists with the everyday Muslim, it's a very unfair generalisation borne of ignorance. How many traits in the following list are ticked off by these self-professed "Christians"? "But know this, that in the last days perilous times...

Had two KS Pebbles (original and Time Steel), then bought a 2 off a friend when those two died to broken button switches. The 2 died in a cycling accident, and I've been stuck with another two pretenders in Mobvoi's FSTN/AMOLED lineup. The second Mobvoi's battery now needs daily charging, so a...

So Linus addressed that in more detail this past weekend, the gist of it is, given that only the affiliate-sniping aspect was known about at the time (the part where Honey wasn't actually giving you the best deals wasn't known about), it would not be a good look for him to implore his viewers to...

My applicable government tax department and my bank both send email notifications telling me to log in to their website (no links) to see a new message with no sensitive details in the email, and from the website I can download it as a PDF or print it or whatnot, or just leave it archived solely...

Giving up that claim would likely spark the war, ironically. Even the US discourages Taiwan from formally giving up such claims, threatening to withhold assistance for defense should Taiwan move to formally declare independence.

Taiwan has not formally relinquished that claim because that is an implicit declaration of independence, for which China has threatened to use military force to suppress. The currently-ruling (independence-leaning) DPP party has not insisted on that claim for decades. The majority of the...

LTT spoke on this for about an hour on their WAN Show, and even ran it live a few times (including using it to make sponsor talking points), I'm pretty impressed with the range of things it can do, but this has to be my favourite one: Instructions to remove a peanut butter sandwich stuck in a...
