I grew up Mormon.

I think the point was living by his teachings and remembering his sacrifice, but without glorifying or worshiping the object of his torture and death.

I have NO clue what the legal ramifications are here. If it’s not, that would seem like a next step.

You would be correct. My church growing up did NOT use crosses, instead remembering his life and not his death. That always made more sense to me.

Yeah - I was pretty sure that was the case, but didn’t want to speak out of turn. So the data is entering the house on copper regardless.

And your pc is connected by fiber directly to the modem? It sounds like not, which was the point of of the parent comment. But you can’t tell me that you think this is a normal and typical use case, to install PCI-E fiber optic network card.

I think they’re making a bit of a joke here. It’s just progress.

I don’t think “most” have fiber to the home, first of all. Cable companies in the US do multigig speeds via fiber to a relay and coax cable to the home. Fiber is great when it’s underground or in a data center and safe, but it is delicate and easy to break the cables so not a great home solution. Fiber terminations are difficult and more expensive. The power efficiency payoff on a 1m cable from your router to your pc is probably going to be measured decades, more if you factor in the higher cost of the cable.

Update: the nagging is incessant with auto update disabled. But if I click download, it fails, and doesn’t bother for 24 hours. My solution still going strong. 😂👍

It actually wasn’t a joke. I went from SGN20U back to a Pixel for a few years, before getting my current Fold6. My prior experience with Samsung was that you could not disable updates and you couldn’t even delay updates because it’ll only let you snooze it for a day or two before it forces the update down your throat no matter what. Had it happen once while I was driving in unfamiliar territory and lost navigation for 15 minutes. Had it happen overnight once and my alarm didn’t go off in the morning. Infuriating.

I did go ahead and turn off auto download just now - if it actually works without constant nagging, I’ll be thrilled. Cheers.

I filled up my storage and now I just get download failed notifications every morning. Happy accident, but now I won’t ever empty my storage again.

Wow this really got me. Top tier shit post my dude.

Already Arkansas has been denied FEMA funds for tornadoes a few weeks back. The south doesn’t have a chance. Florida about to become uninhabitable.

Oh definitely not - he has been attacking the Clean Air act.

Model 3 was my next car for years. Now it’s the Ioniq 6. I’m just so grateful that we are only now able to plan a car purchase this year, and not in the last 2 or 3 years where we would now be stuck in a Tesla.

Yeah, precisely. That’s what this would be, built into your headphone case. You never have one without the other.

I mean, this wouldn’t be all that stupid imo. Add some Apple watch functionality like fitness detection and easy syncing between phone and iPod Nano Buds, this would be a solid addition to a runner’s arsenal leaving no need to carry your $1000 phone on a run. Suppose you could use your watch for that and leave the case at home though. But more options aren’t a bad thing, not everyone has or wants a watch.

There’s also the claim that it was sent too early, so regardless of what the error was, these were going to be the demands all along. They were just moving much slower in the discussion prior to the letter being sent. A wise attempt to boil the frog, and then somebody moved the pot over a rocket engine.

It looks stupid on the surface, but I’m concerned it’ll be used as a fake justification to drop nukes on China.
