Man it’s been a long few days, glad they finally have a fix for it

I think it relies on the server backend, which they’re closing down, to do pretty much anything including TTS

I think all the big stadiums actually used for these big matches are privately built and owned?

Show me one that takes down a DC-link land power cable and I’ll accept that I was wrong.

Technically that would be a boat and not a ship

I doubt any land power lines will be damaged by ships anytime soon…

They’re not buying the product, they’re buying the IP. the article literally says that HP doesn’t give a fuck about the product/HW

users will lose access to essentially all of their device’s features, including but not limited to calling, messaging, AI queries and cloud access. The FAQ does note that you’ll still be able to check on your battery life, though.

OK that is just fucking hilarious…People will literally be stuck with a battery monitor which only purpose is to monitor it’s own battery.

I can get 10gbit from my ISP, it’s just not worth the extra cost compared to my 1gbit which is perfectly fine.

I know, right!?

AFAIK only on a fairly small amount of animals and with limited accuracy/consistency

I got one a few years ago (Europe), but you just throw them out, they’re meaningless threats without action behind and to my knowledge no one has been convicted based on one ever in my country. But if you torrent copyrighted material without a VPN here, you’ll definitely be getting them.

Similarly, look at how many of your clothes are incredibly delicate according to the tag

Not sure what clothes you’re wearing/buying, but every single piece I own says it will do fine with 40°C and tumble drying, except for my suits (I have two, not a closet full), which is not exactly delicate handling.

The french haven’t put anyone in guillotines for more than 200 years (not counting prison death sentences), accrediting this behaviour to the current French population is quite the stretch.

Of course some are able to, but in my work (automation and manufacturing) I apparently don’t meet them. I’ve not met a single French person that didn’t have a crazy thick accent (and definitely not used to get laid when talking to me, during work), and many that didn’t speak any English at all though this was mostly unskilled manufacturing employees.

A few months ago, unless the have higher education levels (university), they have the thickest accents (like bond-villain bad) and somewhat limited vocabulary. At least from my experience over the past 10 years or so that is.

France along with especially Germany and Italy are stuck in the past clinging to this dubbing-tradition, and it’s giving them a disadvantage. The negative impact of this can easily be seen still on the young(er) generations (<30yo), they have a poor English speaking level compared to many other European countries.

Aah, I didn’t know, but I also didn’t say it was open source… it’s store and format agnostic, which Kobo definitely is not.

Check out boox for a properly open(-ish) platform, it’s android based.

For some it works, for me it doesn’t and graphene is detected as an unsupported OS.
