Thanks!

I can probably look this up but how does size effect the result in these things?

It was one post on Reddit. It had a ton of comments but it isn’t a huge number of players mad about it. It was in a piracy sub and still most of the comments were along the lines of “Why didn’t you migrate your account during the 3ish years they were emailing people who hadn’t done it?” And the rest were either “DRM bad” or “Just pirate it, it’s not hard.”

Not really a news worthy thing. People had more than enough time and warning to move their account and the people who didn’t have nothing to stand on other than misplaced anger. I’m not a fan of Microsoft but they really did handle the migration well and gave people way more time and notice than they needed to.

Similar situation. Arduino made microcontrollers accessible to the masses like raspberry made low cost computing accessible.

No, we just kinda stumbled into each other in social situations and went from there.

You can’t use them as a phone though. And dumb phones that do somehow support tethering don’t do so at modern speeds.

I want a dumb phone that acts as a hotspot for my tablet and other devices.

You can also estimate the size of the vehicle. based on how fast it it going and the time between front and back wheel you could calculate the distance between the wheels.

with two strips you can get a lot more data than if you just have one. count, direction, speed, size, and times the road is active. I dont know if they active measure all that but its possible.

Yeah, people are just going to keep using it, they just won’t get updates. That means they will be vulnerable to any exploits that come along afterward but most people don’t care. M$ shot everyone in the foot when they decided to limit windows 11 compatibility.

When windows 7 came out I knew people who stuck with windows xp until they bought a new computer with 10 or 11 on it. The market will get a slight bump from EoL but it isn’t going to force everyone with windows 10 to run out and buy a new computer immediately.

Profits now are all that matter. The future is a problem for after dividends and bonuses get paid out.

Money

I mean, it’s a pretty good excuse. The sites job is to inform people and they do a shit job of it. I’m literally checking lemmy on my phone while taking a break so when some link leads to a site that’s damn near unreadable I’m not spending my entire break futzing with settings to make it readable. Like I said, I’ll do better next time.

The site is serious crap on mobile. Between all the poppins and the ads reloading to make it jump around as you read. It’s damn hard to read a full article on a lot of these news sites.

Yeah, sorry I missed that single sentence in the article that is so plastered with ads that my phone has trouble displaying the page. I’ll be sure to do better next time.

Im a fan of gravity based energy storage. Excess energy is used to raise a weight up a slope and it can be reclaimed when the weight is released.

This is only a problem because of money. Maybe California should install some power storage centers in order to hold the excess for later.

I don’t even play it and it upsets me. Online service models are a huge reason I don’t buy a lot of games. I hate the idea that major features of a game will be removed when it is no longer profitable.

I want to be able to go back to games after a long time to relive the experience. If there are someone else’s servers involved then I won’t be able to do that.

sorry :( its harder for her to live with it than for me to deal with it.

Give it to my ADHD wife and tell her its important. it will never be seen again.

That is a niche. its a large niche, but its still a niche.
