Even my super basic washer has a delayed start timer that solves that issue without wifi modules or whatever. Then again insurance doesn't cover a water leak or oven fire if I run stuff when I'm away so I never do that.

Every influencer/whatever should strive to be like Tom, his series is the greatest on youtube of the last decade and I'm sad to see it end.

At the same time I'm looking forward to whatever he may try out and hopefully he'll remain somewhat relevant even though we don't deserve him at all.

Drone strikes are the holy grail of the military-industrial complex. They are cheap to run meaning that the air force doesn't have to give them a huge budget yet consume precision bombs and missiles at a steady rate meaning that the weapon industry get a secure revenue stream. And they can be scaled up almost infinitely since there is no bad news coverage of wounded veterans or crying widows on us television.

If my mom saw that on her phone she would call me and say her phone was exploding. Or go and buy a new phone.

Doing stuff behind the scenes is fine because people are ignorant and easily panic. But it should have been visible in the battery power menu or something.

With the strikes and every production on halt and needing to restart? Maybe early 2025 if we're lucky. Earlier is possible I guess if the parts settle in the not too distant future and CBS put prio on SNW once things resume.

I really don't get China being seen as a communist state. At this point it's a straight up fascist dictatorship.

The other side is that they'll also push back against good stuff for the consumer since everything they do is completely out of self interest.

Or the 100th marvel movie and tv show or some member-berries star wars show.

Check out this list. The imax 70mm ones would be reels like this one.

A surprising number of films are still shot on film and then transfered to a digital intermediate for editing and later distribution. Not only the few film imax ones. I wonder if anyone is still doing their editing on film, I highly doubt it.

Indeed. Ruud has stated he has hundreds of unread notifications that he may never have time to get around to. Tagging him in threads does nothing and you really can't hold his "silence" as proof of anything.

Better of trying to poke one of the other admins.

No they've committed to keeping it. But they have an issue with port availability so they'll probably need to move to a per server allocation eventually. Recently they reduced the allocation per user down to 5 from 20 though just to delay when they run out.
