Get a CO2 sensor, and you will see CO2 levels spike massively in occupied rooms with poor ventilation. Indoor CO2 levels can easily exceed 4x the normal outdoor level. Because of this, and critical thinking, I don’t believe for a second that a global rise in CO2 has any direct effect on our behavior. I could be convinced that increasing time spent indoors (and online) does, though

Typical CO2 concentrations:

• Outdoors (2024): ~430ppm
• Outdoors (2000): ~370ppm
• Indoors (depends on ventilation): 800ppm ~ 2000ppm+

Equating votes for a particular candidate to an incapability of critical thinking is probably where your hypothesis breaks down the most

No, my understanding of this is that Amazon is just a storefront for dealers. Your entire transaction will be with the dealer, because Amazon is not allowed to sell new cars

How much would you prefer they made? Do you think the world would be a better place if they shut down their charity businesses?

Doesn’t seem like they’d offer the ability to scan an existing backup without touching your device, if that were the case

Perhaps you should get to know your friend better, instead of stereotyping him. You can either learn a little about the nuances of a law enforcement career from him, or shun him and put your head back in the sand

This prevents someone from stealing your SIM and using your plan without also having access to your account

Makes no difference to me, since I wasn’t interested in playing it anyway

Remove the SIM card to ensure it doesn’t communicate with a cellular carrier. Then go into the settings for your specific WiFi network, configure IP address manually, and remove the entry for “Router” to prevent it from talking to the Internet

No, it’s on Steam

Sounds like you should buy a different thing. I bought one, though. None of this keyboard stuff matters to me, since I won’t even be using a keyboard with it

I think the special button on the keyboard is a fingerprint/lock button. Not sure if the computer supports powering on by pressing any key like the MacBooks, but it certainly will wake from sleep with any key. I don’t think you’re supposed to fully power it down as part of regular use, so they can get by with a less accessible power button

You can use your own keyboard with it

You jest, but we use Launch Darkly at work, and it’s the shit. Way better than our previous home grown solution. Everyone made the same joke at first, but the value is real

He’s right, though. They’re different characters, and they look different. The curved apostrophe looks much better, especially with larger fonts. I don’t use it in casual typing, but it’s important for official copy on the Web. You can use Option-Shift-] to type it without the alt code on a Mac

Seems like that would foil a plugin, but I think it would effectively kill video scrubbing, or simultaneous streams, depending on how that restriction was implemented. I still don’t see this working well for YouTube

Yep. YouTube must include a manifest with each video to tell the player what time ranges are un-skippable. Baked in ads were doomed from the beginning 🤡

Come on man, you’re breaking the echo chamber. We’re here to shit on Google, not give them more money

I use an Apple TV 4K. For self hosted streaming, I am running Plex on a Raspberry Pi, connected to a Synology NAS, which has my media library

I mean, they’re not the embodiment of Perfection, but they get the job done
