- Comment on New Teslas might lose Steam 1 month ago:
Honestly I actually had not thought about people sitting around waiting to charge. In my area there are tons of chargers, grocery store, Costco, the mall, movie theaters. My experience had been that people would charge while doing other things. Thanks for the insight into a good use for it.

Why is a car capable of playing games in the first place. I understand it’s not going to allow people to play while they drive but still. That just seems like an odd/bad idea.

- Comment on Roku has patented a way to show ads over anything you plug into your TV 2 months ago:
True. Good point.
I was thinking more along the lines that most companies won’t license something unless they absolutely have to. I should have said not ALL the other company’s will do it.
- Comment on Roku has patented a way to show ads over anything you plug into your TV 2 months ago:
I am on board for this.
Patent it and no one else can do it.
Then if you do get or have a Roku TV, just don’t add the wifi to your TV. (I know this won’t work for the sticks, but for the cheap TV, just don’t add that to the wifi)
I know that defeats the point of a smart TV but its a lot cheaper than other screens.
- Comment on I hear phrases like "half-past", "quarter til", and "quarter after" way less often since digital clocks have became more commonplace. 3 months ago:
Ahhh!!! That totally makes sense. I took the comment to be about digital clocks specifically vs analog clocks. Not about the type of time keeping. Then the translation analogy totally makes sense and works! Gotta love learning new things from people. Thanks Swedneck!
- Comment on I hear phrases like "half-past", "quarter til", and "quarter after" way less often since digital clocks have became more commonplace. 3 months ago:
What do you mean if your brain works in digital time. This doesn’t translate for me and I grew up with regular clocks and wrist watches. All time is the same. A clock with both hands facing 12 is and always has been twelve o’clock. Clock face or digital clock. They give the same time. Comparing two devices that give the same information in different ways to language is absurd.
Your comparison could work if the subject being discussed was 12 vs 24 hour time keeping. Then there is a translation between the two.

Actually, according to reports it can’t even do that right.
- Comment on Now that it is getting legalized everywhere, Cannabis should fall under the jurisdiction of the ATF rather than the DEA. 5 months ago:
Unfortunately it still falls under schedule 1. Even if states legalize it the federal government still considers it the same danger as heroin.
Don’t get me wrong. It shouldn’t be but until we get a federal law changing that then it’s still going to fall under DEA.

- Comment on Does the rest of the English speaking world generally understand what an American means when they say "soccer", or does it help to clarify by adding "football"? 6 months ago:
I love it!
- Comment on Does the rest of the English speaking world generally understand what an American means when they say "soccer", or does it help to clarify by adding "football"? 6 months ago:
You do realize the word Soccer for the actual game originated in England right?
It just so happened that “Rugby football” got shortened to Rugby and this “Associa toon (Socker) football” got shortened to Football.
Since since an American sport came around the same time called “Football” they kept the name “Soccer” for Association Football.
Just letting you know a little back story.
A small article about it can be found here. britannica.com/…/why-do-some-people-call-football… And there are plenty more info out there about it.
- Comment on Utah Supreme Court says suspects can refuse to hand over phone passwords to the police | Other state Supreme Courts disagree and the case would wind up before the US Supreme Court 6 months ago:
For all those who may be wondering “Hey Siri, who’s phone is this” will lock it as if you had just booted the phone. This then requires the full pass code and not just a face scan or finger scan.
Unfortunately I don’t know the equivalent for Android.

- Comment on A self-contained doctor's office, powered by artificial intelligence, where you — the patient — draw your own blood and take your own vitals. 6 months ago:
And I commented before reading… I still say my concept would be cool but what they offer is a hard freaking pass.
Don’t compare medical concepts to a self driving car that still has huge issues that causes deaths.
Also $100 a month duck off with that bs.
- Comment on A self-contained doctor's office, powered by artificial intelligence, where you — the patient — draw your own blood and take your own vitals. 6 months ago:
I am in absolute agreement with one small caveat.
If I can go some place and have the triple test done for like $5 I am totally in. Flu, strep, and Covid are all tests that a run on me and my kids when any of us don’t feel well. (Me when I am just done and can’t move) my kids when they go to the nurses office and I get called to pick them up due to a fever. If this can potentially replace urgent care and get me a prescription to treat me and my kids for one of the minor issues that are tested positive for I’m totally in on that.
If these tests come back negative then we go to our real doctor and get thing figured out.
I know this may not be its actual use case. However, I can see this as being a potential benefit. This could potentially provide lower cost care for people who otherwise wouldn’t get their kids tested for any of these things and send them right back to school, continuing the sickness to other students.
Anything else you talk to a real person.

- Comment on How is your experience with Fedora as a server? 7 months ago:
Good point. I could totally see a “why would yo use that instead of this…” kind of comments.
Okay so Fedora was one of my first Linux experiences so take what I say with a grain of salt. I really like it and its package manager is nice. A lot of the same features can be found in other distros just using other tools. The way it does web hosting is something I like (or liked) a lot but almost all of that is now down using Docker for me.
The one thing to keep in mind is that the community forums are not as user friendly as Ubuntu. At least this was the case 10 years ago when I was new. There were a lot of “how hard is it to search for httpd in the forums” when the question was similar to “how do i setup web hosting.”
The one thing that is not server specific but I would recommend is that you look into docker and portainer if you have not already. That is how I host almost all of my services now. Using nginx proxy manager (nginxproxymanager.com) as the front end for almost all of has made my life a heck of a lot simpler. Good luck with trying out your new server.
- Comment on How is your experience with Fedora as a server? 7 months ago:
Not trying to be a jerk but if you don’t want any comparisons then how are you going to get any actual feedback other than “it’s good” or “it’s okay/bad.”
Don’t get me wrong I run fedora as my main server and love it. That’s about all I can say since I can’t give you a comparison of what it’s like vs Ubuntu, CentOS, or windows.
Then again most of my main services I run are all docker containers now but that runs about the same on almost all servers.

I doubt it will work outside a specific zone using ip address information. Possible it may work with a VPN.
- Comment on Apple 15 relegated to USB 2.0 unless you buy the Pro 9 months ago:
Ahh. Totally understand that kind of day man. Truly I do and what an ASS for making that kind of comment. That can not be defended in any way. Sorry that kind of crap got dumped on you today.
Yeah the lightning cable only having USB2 speeds sucked since it was never upgraded.
I completely agree with your assessment of the “innovations”. I remember the conference they got ride of the 3.5 mm headphone Jack and they said “the courage” to do something bold. Bwahahaha. It just means everyone needed to buy an adapter for the accessories.
In terms of using the cord I guess I am the minority then. Sorry for assuming the other way around.
- Comment on Apple 15 relegated to USB 2.0 unless you buy the Pro 9 months ago:
Completely agree. No company redesigns all of their products each year. They redesign the top tier and then its shifts downward the next year. GPU, CPU, Motherboard, hell even cars do this. Not all models included Carplay and Android Auto when it launched, just the high end cars did, but now all of them do.
- Comment on Apple 15 relegated to USB 2.0 unless you buy the Pro 9 months ago:
I agree the comparison between the two in terms of use is not correct or fair even. It was more of a comparison of the chips being included on the phone. I clearly did not do a good job explaining that. I assumed most people would have understood that the A17 pro chip is what is the upgrade and is the controller for the USB vs the A16 that is last years model.
In a computer the price may be negligible but in a phone is the entire architecture of the chip so its not negligible. I don’t think they are being assholes as much as not spending shit tons of money to redesign and manufacture new processors for the phone when they have old stock that can be used.
Its a similar model that a lot of companies do, take last years best chip and put it in this years second tier device. I am not saying its great for consumers I am just saying its what is done. Not upgrading a chip is not the same as downgrading it.
- Comment on Apple 15 relegated to USB 2.0 unless you buy the Pro 9 months ago:
No, that’s a fair point. The Ultra Wide Band is not the same in terms of use and known like USB is. My comparison was meant to be of the chips on the phone. People are arguing that apple is “downgrading” to USB 2.0 but in reality they just aren’t upgrading the A16 chip that is the USB controller. This is similar to the Galaxy Note 20 not having the upgraded chip like the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. There may be other comparisons that would be more accurate but I remembered this one specifically when I was looking to upgrade Galaxy.
- Comment on Apple 15 relegated to USB 2.0 unless you buy the Pro 9 months ago:
It seems to be that you are misunderstanding the entire tech concept. There is no “downgrading” the A16 chip from last year’s pro model is the USB controller. They simply aren’t upgrading that chip.
The comparison was not about a cable vs wifi. It was about the chip on the device as that is the crux of the situation.
No need to be rude or insulting with the blood flowing to the brain comment. Again this seems to be fan boy attitude to shit on “the other side” and be insulting to win the argument. I have no stake in this other than pointing out that people are freaking out and getting upset because they didn’t redesign the phone and architecture for $X to increase the speed of something almost no IOS user even uses.
An honest question, do you actually use your cord the transfer data from your phone or tablet? Personally I never use the cord on my Galaxy Tab, It easier to use Wi-Fi and a shared folder on my NAS.
