I usually buy high end devices, that tend to last 4-6 years. I usually choose by camera, battery, and charging speed. I’m currently on a 4 year old Xiaomi that has an great camera, the battery still last over a day, charges 5000 mAh in slightly over an hour. I have never broken a screen or lost a phone in over 30 years. I buy the latest and greatest to make sure my investment lasts.
Hergé, the father of Tintin: “Next to him ( Franquin) I am but a poor illustrator”
Franquin took the comic to art level. The way he was able to draw movement has no equal, for example.
If you want to have your mind blown, read the “Ideés Noires”, an adult oriented strip, black on white, (hence the ñame), created while he was under severe depression. I think Goya would have approved.
Wouldn’t a flatter form factor be better for rear mounting?
I can get an I9 32gb 1Tb mini pc for under 500€. Where is the bargain?
Was it a Satellite Max?
Nowadays when I fly the fiirst criteria when I search for flights I check the airline’s fleet, then price.
Try octopuses. Essentially liquid. Think Odo from Startrek DS9. Watch them go from a beige cucumberish shape to a dark green/brown lump that looks like a jagged rock
I’ve often wondered why e-ink displays are so expensive
What does this all mean to the home gamer?
Oooook……
Plot twist!
This took an interesting turn!
I’m a Rocket Lab fan. Tons of innovation, slower progress due to not having the richest man behind, but on track to launch a reusable medium rocket, FULLY reusable and with a sensible guy at the helm.
God is suing both
The big ass rocket engines in the back fueled by the massive fuel tank may disagree with you
I hate Musk and his personal everything, but Like SpaceX. However, when people gush about reusability, they seem to forget the 135 Space Shuttle missions (2 fatal failures , yes.). All done with 5 vehicles. Yes expensive etc, but truly amazing.
Also, I really don’t find anything SpaceX is doing revolutionary. Impressive? Yes, but it’s essentially incremental engineering, made possible by ginormous funding, including NASA money, and a private company doing things that NASA can-t politically afford.
Imagine NASA crashing 4 Shuttles before getting landing right. There’d be no NASA by now.
Great style! Nowadays it seems that all comics are either stick figure/Marvel/anime style.
I wish current comic illustrators would try to develop a style, and check out comics from non manga/Marvel origins. The Belgian Marcinelle school, or the ligne Claire schools are two great examples.
European comics provide an amazing range of styles, the study of which could be of great value to current illustrators.
The last thing I want while riding, and I-ve been riding over 40 years, is another set of distractions. I don-t want music, I don’t answer phones, etc. The only thing I want is waterproof GPS-maps, which I get by using an old OUKITEL rugged phone tethered to my regular phone in my pocket, on my forearm in a flexible sports case (a mount failed me)
That was a saying in the 80s already, and still relevant today.
Trump’s government efficiency guy in action, folks!
I agree. I-m an accomplished cook, but I enjoy the almost set and forget that my Thermomix affords me. I am tempted to get an instant pot type and with my smart Microwave have a semi robotized kitchen.
Is the new one stainless steel? If so there are very few parts that may fail, valve parts and gasket essentially. Instant pots have a ton of failure points. The modern stovetops are almost buy it for life.
This is dumb. Hand over development to bureaucrats? create a set of guidelines and requirements, and allow distros to be certified, and fund development of distros that are being used.
