There was some article about this a while ago. For Netflix in the US now there is an $8.50 difference in the ad tier and the standard ad free tiers prices. For an example let’s say once a user hits the 50th percentile or higher of hours watched in the ad-free standard tier they would have earned 8.50-??? in revenue from ads if on the ad tier. So half of their ad-free users are losing them profit in this example. It’s that unrestricted top end that is so appealing to them. The more you consume the more ads they show and the more money they make. So this will never stop.
Edit…clarify something
During the two-week crackdown, officials arrested 81 people, impounded 273 scooters and issued 161 notices or tickets.
I’d like clarity as well. They impounded 273 vehicles. They arrested, warned, and ticketed 242 people. So what 31 people they were like you’ve got a license, insurance, and a helmet…have a nice day! Are the percentages really that bad for legal drivers versus illegal or are 31 people lucky to get the cop that was tired of writing official warnings?
Also what separated a warning versus a ticket or even more extreme, being arrested? Were they arrested related to the moped or did they have other things on their record…it’s just very vague.
Buddy works in a data center. Ram upgrades on a few racks of servers took him weeks…
Mind you this was with zero downtime. So spin up a server, move the traffic, shut down/swap ram, boot up server, swap traffic back, repeat until you want to cry.
It's worth noting that Kioxia itself didn't state this figure, it's a reasoned estimation by PC Watch ($250 to $350) but it's not entirely plucked from thin air. There are still some important ifs, though.
Following that time table if we see 20TB for under a grand I’ll be shocked. Corporate greed is just too high. I can’t see them just chopping the price per TB that much that quickly.
If you wait for the next best/cheaper thing with computers you’re never going to stop waiting. Just get what you need when you need it and move on.
Buddy works in a data center. He spent a few weeks doing ram swaps. Process is something along these lines: bring a server on a cart, boot it up, divert traffic from server in rack, shut down racked server, swap ram, boot up server, divert traffic back repeat for all the other servers in the rack.
This would drastically reduce the time required.
It keeps going on the other side of the desk…
That’s a horribly deceiving title. They just stayed remote and made themselves ineligible for promotion.
Business Insider claims it has seen internal Dell tracking data that reveals nearly 50 percent of the workforce opted to accept the consequences of staying remote, undermining Dell's plan to restore its in-office culture.
You can hit the power button 5 times to accomplish the same thing as well.
In all honesty…my parents. I play family tech support and it’s just easier with Apple. There aren’t a million different variants of hardware and manufacturer tweaks to the OS. If I also have an iPhone I can keep up with all the changes and help troubleshoot any issues (I live ~2000 miles away). If they have any immediate concerns they can visit an Apple Store and a ‘Genius’ can also walk them through whatever. They also have classes.
I keep my phones for 3 years and pass it on to one of my retired parents who keep it for another 3. Then it stops receiving the latest updates as its fallen out of support with Apple. They still work just fine but not receiving the latest major OS releases. My last phone swap lead to my parents passing their old phone on to my brother who couldn’t care less that it’s out of support and just wants a working device.
So those ~$1000 phones are getting some mileage…
It's unlikely to be picked up by the Democrat-controlled Senate because of numerous amendments regarding abortion, diversity efforts, and transgender medical treatments.
That seems about right. Tired of bills having all this non related crap shoved into them.
Automatic registration would replace the coming-of-age tradition that all 18-year-old male U.S. citizens experience when they get a card in the mail from Uncle Sam informing them that they're required under threat of criminal penalties to register for the Selective Service.
This ~2 decades ago for me but I have no recollection of this ever happening.
The title of the article I linked and its subtext is
“The 2023 Toyota Prius Prime Could Take 3 Weeks to Recharge—Without Plugging In
Or, put another way, you can get more than 1,000 miles of free range in a year.”
It most definitely charges the battery.
I remember looking at the Prius and it had a solar roof option. I remember reading a MotorTrend article about it. They had to make a lot of assumptions like 12 hours of sun everyday no exceptions and just to break even from the cost of the roof option it would take 5+ years. So not really worth it. You’d be better off just paying for the electricity or putting solar on your house and charging with that.
Edit…words missing
Bill Oswald, whose family owns eight apartments around Long Beach, said a corporate landlord recently contacted him about buying properties in the area. He said both his brothers urged him to sell, because of rising costs.
The large corps will buy everything. With this 3-5% rule (certain circumstances, in article) you can guarantee that is what they’ll raise it EVERY SINGLE YEAR moving forward. They’ll point at this committee saying “they set the rules, we just abide by them”.
If it’s anything like some of the other features they’ve crammed in they will ask that question over and over and over and over again until you choose the answer they want.
Optical illusion or not, you shouldn’t be driving over the yellow hashes. Stop trying to cut the corner and you’d never be close enough to the pole to hit it.
Are you sure it wasn’t Pizza Hut? That was the international cut(outside the US). Never heard about a cut using KFC.
I see the franchise wars are starting a bit earlier than planned.
I’m desperately waiting for fiber. Still expect it to be 6-12 months out but they’re actively building it. I live ~20 miles from a state capital. Fiber is still very rare even in suburbs of major cities the US.
If I had to guess with what’s visible here…an atlas stone. A heavy ball you pick up and put on a raised platform.
That would be a whole pig. I’d imagine it’s for a BBQ but I could be wrong…
