It's hard to tell.

You install your own windows? Do you really know if the pre-installed windows gets deleted?

You install your own linux? There is still the BIOS that could carry some unwanted "evil" software.

Then there is the possibility of unwanted "evil" hardware or firmware parts inside some of the chips...

Actually, the answer is complicated.

Gravity isn't the only relevant aspect here. Gravity makes that you have to look at the combination of "sun + planet". They behave like 1 body together. But "sun + 10 planets" is like 10 different of these combined bodies: "sun + planet 1", "sun + planet 2", "sun + planet 3"...

Imagine it was different. Imagine a system of several planets rotating around the sun with all their rotational planes at different angles.

This system would be very asymmetric all the time. Now in general when asymmetric bodies rotate, then that motion is not stable. They tend to change their motion, that is, the rotational axis changes until it reaches the maximal inertia moment.

Take a plate or a stick and throw it up high while rotating it at a random angle. Then do it again with a very asymmetric thing. Watch how it's motion changes.

It becomes stable when the inertia moment is maximal.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment_of_inertia

For the system with several planets, the stability of the whole system is maximized when all the rotational planes are the same, because then the inertia moment of the whole system is maximal.

This podcasting bro is NOT chasing revenue (yet).

He wants power.

He wants to collect 11-12 figure sums of venture capital and then built things that let him rule the world.

And afterwards, maybe revenue.

Then you need to read "1984" to the end (the book, not the movie)

If you say that 1+1=2 and they say that 1+1=3, what should be done?

1 should be renamed to 2, obviously.

Someone trying to invoke good old Barbara Streisand?

Opinions, LOL, yes, the sacred thing for all Usamericans.

Here it is a doctor's statement, legally binding.

...and I am sure that these managers are going to have fun with a bombardment of lawsuits soon

At least I can tell you that it does not work in my country, where bosses and authorities cannot decide whether or not you are sick, only doctors can.

Altman downplayed the major shakeup.

"Leadership changes are a natural part of companies

Is he just trying to tell us he is next?

Was haben die denn erwartet?

Na klar haben die das erwartet.

Na klar haben die das trotzdem gemacht.

Na klar haben die jetzt schön die Munition, um auf ihren Mitarbeitern rumzuhacken.

In einem Wald mehrfach gesehen: eine Flasche oder ein Marmeladenglas so auf einen Ast gesteckt. Innendrin sieht man etwas Moos-artiges.

Was bedeutet das? Wozu dient das?

Was hat denn der Grashalm bloß falsch gemacht, dass du so auf ihm herumtrampelst?

Warum leuchtet meine LED-Glühbirne weiter, wenn sie ausgeschaltet ist?

Ich habe nun fast alle Glühbirnen und Energiesparlampen durch LED ersetzt. Gestern habe ich eine 4W Filament-LED frisch vom ALDI reingeschraubt, wo vorher noch eine echte alte 40W Glühbirne war.

Sie geht wunderbar, wenn sie an ist. Aber wenn sie aus ist, leuchtet sie mit gefühlt 1/10 Helligkeit weiter, auch nach Stunden noch.

Die alte Glühbirne hat das nicht gemacht.

Das würde ich gern verstehen. Wie kann das sein?

(Bitte keine Ratschläge wie "Fachmann holen" gähn).

Domains mit Umlauten / Sonderzeichen wurden vor vielen Jahren erfunden, und vermutlich würden sie längst überall funktionieren. Trotzdem sieht man sie nirgends. Wie kommt das?

Die Bank schickt mir heute die neuen Karten. Jetzt ganz ohne "EC" bzw. "maestro". Nur "girocard" ist aufgedruckt.

Ich frage mich, ob man damit weiterhin überall bezahlen kann?

Und: gibt es bei irgendeiner anderen Bank noch weiter das maestro-Verfahren? Oder stirbt es jetzt ganz?

The comment survived all my attempts :-)

Is there something I could have done wrong, or is it simply broken?

Nachdem ich nun zweimal billig gekauft habe und die Dinger immer viel zu bald aufgegeben haben :-(, suche ich nun etwas Solides, was mir hoffentlich länger gute Dienste leisten soll.

Wer hat einen Tip für mich?

Where can I see may saved 'drafts' in the app, and delete obsolete ones?

Sometimes I am able to copy text for quoting, sometimes it does not work.

Using the Android app, latest release.

How are you doing it?

What alternative to 'postman' do you like the most for simply testing a bunch of REST services?

Has anyone else seen this when trying to post a comment?

The sub's language was English, my comment was English, too.

How can I fix it?

I have tried changing the language on my Android, but it did not fix the problem.
