It's the fact that it's in near real time now, older techniques with older hardware would need much longer.

Not really answering the question but I've completely stopped buying anything that requires USB micro B. I can't fucking stand that connector. USB C costs a negligible amount more and I've yet to have a single port or cable fail irreparably after using it for the best part of a decade.

An actual answer to the question? I'm done with Microsoft and Nvidia. I'd love to add Google to the list but I'm still largely entrenched in their ecosystem.

They're not taking enough votes to win a lot of seats but I bet they've taken enough votes to change a few marginal Conservative seats into Labour ones.

I'm right in the Millennial/Gen Z transition, mid 90's. I struggle to associate strongly with either group as I missed most of the important Millennial stuff but I was too early for a lot of zoomer stuff.

I love ligatures but much prefer the ones that preserve the proper width of all the characters for this exact reason

Interesting, my experience was in rural Georgia so could be regional?

I'd put money on it being the US.

I'm from the UK where chip and pin is required and contactless is nearly ubiquitous so when I was in the US recently I was baffled that a lot of places had me signing for things.

You could configure the DNS only on devices that don't have issues with it rather than the network as a whole?

I suspect they might be talking about a DNS based ad blocking solution. Like Pi-Hole or AdGaurd DNS.

They work by blocking DNS requests made by ads so the content can never be accessed. They're theoretically more powerful than browser extensions as they have the opportunity to block ads anywhere.

"shouldn't have to" ≠ "don't want to*

I'm the one that doesn't want to learn anything then you drop an "England" on me? I'm Scottish or does that not matter because is it too much for you to learn that the UK is more than England?

My brain is filled with far too much shite about measurements. I love all of it. I'm a great lover of odd and obscure imperial units. Please don't try to tell me I don't want to know.
