Combined with the high risk of being a high target honeypot I'd be worried of that Chinese MITM.

Almost a 1000$ extra to get a decent CPU? Unless I'm missing something a 1.02 GHz i3 seems underpowered for a 2000$ plus machine.

Looks like that broke it.

There is a market for ordering drone footage from random plebs arround the world.

Given the drones range is 7km radius and images can be so perfectly stitched.

I don't see that much appeal to small area via satelite.

Surprised nobody brought up an alternative to set this up yourself.

I guess it may not exist or it's called managed hosting and the feature set and complexity is too overwhelming?

The answer to your question is simply Halvings, every four year the quantity of energy used halves in bitcoin terms but the infrastructure remain and can be repurposed to more profitable uses.

I'd expect every new laptop to have at least one Usb-c on both sides by now.

It'd be great if they could make an extension with more than one port on it, they're wide enough for more.

What is so wrong about the pixel 4a?

Nobody's going to pimp up CPU and Camera specs every year on a phone people claim is to just take calls and leave in their pocket.

What kind of visual components are visually different between 60 and 120hz?

I do dev and browsing work at 30hz and the only thing I notice is the little gaps when moving the mouse fast.

Interesting how so many of their benchmarks are based on the number of 8k stream they can playback or edit at once but OSX doesn't support outputting to 8K resolution. Most likely crippled until Apple come up with their own 8K monitors.

How do you expect to choose which account to get in if there isn't a list to choose from?

Currently in Lastpass If you have one account it's auto filled making it a single click.

At least 3 times in the last week I've noticed that trying to search for information that is not the government narrative about covid vaccine leads to the crappiest piece of garbage having an attempt at discrediting whatever I'm searching on.

Google / YouTube suggestion engine is now evil and corrupt to the bone.

I tend to forget the 4-5 subscriptions I pay for, and where is which content, so I use streamio most of the time.

The problem is that none of the major OS seems to allow for multiple factor authentication.

The bitcoin mining equipment have no other purpose than mining bitcoin so eventually once the block subsidy halves these miners will be sitting idle until someone need to process a contentious transaction (paying high network fee).

Didn't read the rest, btw forks of a chain like bcash doesn't have much to do with immutability.
