Borderlands 1 & 2, too.
Internet connected devices are a mistake. Not only is there non-existent security updates for the device, it means there is a timer on the life of the functions of the device. If a device cannot function offline, you will have a gimped (or completely dead) product soon.
functions like scheduling a charge will no longer work
Case and point. Why did the device ever need the internet to run a clock? It didn't, but because it was 'smart', now it can't operate a basic time function.
I wonder why
The US isn't in a war with hundreds of thousands of casualties, the entire economy re-geared to produce wartime materials, huge needs to on-shore production as foreign partners cut ties, oil and ammo depots exploding all over the country cutting the two major sources of export revenue, central bank interest rates at 19% putting even the safest of loans at credit-card levels of interest, demographic decline that makes Europe's problems look downright peachy, and persistent double-digit inflation wiping out the real value of everyone's savings and making it even harder to afford imports.
In short, the US has a healthy economy and Russia has a wartime economy that is doing it's best to win the war before an economic collapse.
Russia faces a shortage of engineers, turners, and CNC machine operators. The Russian job portal Avito in September received 2,000 resumes for turners, in comparison to 60,000 position openings. For CNC operators, there were only 600 resumes for 18,600 vacancies, despite the alluring salaries.
Those are some awful numbers. You know a large percentage of those few resumes are going to be junk applicants. But with those huge disparity rates, they are probably going to get hired anyway and the businesses are just going to attempt to do their best to get the junk applicants to be somewhat useful.
On further thought the glow could be from reentry and not from burning rocket motors. So, no I'm not sure.
Currently waiting to see the level of damage and more detailed reports.
From watching the videos, it looks like a ton of low-level missile intercepts. The rocket motors are still active, which isn't what you see for ballistic missiles in their terminal phase.
Probably will be lots of damage due to debris though.
Yeah, missile intercepts always look cool. Though, it is unfortunate that it's due to what is assuredly an escalation. Israel took the first Iranian missile salvo two months ago without direct retaliation; I don't see that happening again here.
Iran has launched a large number of ballistic missiles at Israeli targets with significant numbers of projectiles seen careening into the ground in Israel.

Yeah, I have zero desire to give them money. Luckily, there are solid options that aren't them, notably the steam deck for portable gaming and pc/xbox/ps5 for home gaming.
The PLCAA offers basic protections against nuisance lawsuits. Much like one shouldn't sue Makita for a crazy murdering someone with a sawzall, one shouldn't sue S&W for a crazy murdering someone with a gun.
I would like to start with the chain of command that insisted a battleship turret be installed on the flight deck.
It's the tip of a shaped charge warhead, though that particular one does look awfully like a barrel.
What you’re missing is the understanding that this will keep getting worse, till we are all dead
Apparently the climate scientists are missing that understanding too, as I have yet to see any of them claim such.
Yeah, I think someone in Saudi Arabia looked at the expenses for The Line‡, and then put out a number that sounds nice and would help with that massive outflow; but like you said, didn't trifle with a more realistic target. Meanwhile, Russia is pumping with whatever hasn't been hit by a drone yet, as they can use every ruble they can get; depressing the price.
‡I still can't get over how, instead of building up an industry in Saudi Arabia to vary the economy, instead they went for a vanity mega-project to ... attract tourists?
when we’re all dead from climate change
Would you mind sharing an article from a climate scientist that claims all humans will die? What I have seen is that life will get harder, certain crops will not grow in certain areas anymore, resource-related wars will increase, and weather events will get stronger and more numerous. What I have not seen is that these things result in the extinction of humans. Which is a vastly different statement.
Yeah, I still don't want my computer screen recording everything I do. Nor do I want the computer of everyone I give my personal details to (think DMV, ISPs, utility companies, etc) to also screen record all the information I give them. This is a massive security nightmare.
Brave Browser + AdGuard is also good at blocking youtube ads.
Everyone dying from climate change is not what climate scientists are predicting. Lying about reality will not help the cause.
I'm confused who this is for. Even many who agree with them don't appreciate vandalism of art and art galleries.
Ah, that is a nice upgrade. Having half the chip with less cache was kinda....weird. Really made the single CCD chips (the 6 and 8 core variants) the best option, as one didn't have to think about what cores were fast and which ones weren't.

Ein Brief aus Deutschland schlägt hohe Wellen. Schweizer Unternehmen seien ausgeschlossen, sich für eine Beschaffung der Bundeswehr zu bewerben, heisst es.
Title (auto translated):
Germany no longer wants armament from Switzerland
A letter from Germany makes a big wave. Swiss companies are excluded from applying for procurement by the Bundeswehr.
-----
Article Contents (auto translated)
A Swiss company wants to participate in a large German tender of 100,000 stationary multispectral camouflage equipment for the Bundeswehr. The catch: The company's production facility must be on the EU territory, it means the tender.
The company thinks a mistake. The European free trade association Efta with Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Iceland and Norway was probably forgotten. It is addressed to the Federal Office of Equipment, Information Technology and Use of the Bundeswehr.
This is followed by the disillusionment: the Efta states had not been forgotten. They were deliberately decided in favour of a production facility in the EU. One will not deviate from that.
Letter explains German "Lex Switzerland"
A short time later, a letter from Germany to the Federal Armaments Armour Armour Armament Armours found, which "Le Temps" reported on. The Federal Office, which is under the responsibility of the Federal Ministry of Defence, wanted to avoid an effect as in the case of ammunition for the cheetah air failure, which is under the responsibility of the Federal Ministry of Defence. A production facility in the Efta states has been deliberately excluded. The multispectral camouflage equipment was one of the central technologies for the Bundeswehr. In addition, they would have to be able to pass on to a partner country in the event of war.
With the letter to the hickhack between Germany and Switzerland, the German Federal Office referred to around 12,000 shots for the cheetah flight anti-aircraft armor. Germany wanted to pass it on to Ukraine. It had bought it in Switzerland, it needed the country's blessing because of a non-re-re-export statement. For reasons of neutrality, she said no.
The letter is proof that there is a "Lex Switzerland" in Germany: the country no longer buys arms products from Switzerland. Arms head Urs Loher formulated it drastically at "Le Temps": "Switzerland is no longer trustworthy for Germany. In the German parliament, for example, "Swiss Free" is apparently used in the same breath as "China Free."
Parliament has already decided in the Netherlands not to buy any more arms from Switzerland. Similar considerations are also available in Denmark and Spain. It is not yet clear in the VBS whether the German letter is a shot in front of the bow or just the beginning. Civil derivable blame
In the case of the bourgeois parties, the situation ensures mutual recriminations. "We are definitely destroying the Swiss arms industry," says FDP President Thierry Burkart. The left had been working on it for decades with the tightening of the War Material Act. "The SVP is now their enforcer, because with the misinterpretation of our neutrality, it prevents the transfer of defence equipment from European states to Ukraine."
Burkart had submitted a motion in 2022, in which he called for a non-re-export declaration to be completely waived if the delivery to states which were committed to our values. "It has nothing to do with neutrality if other countries want to support each other with weapons that they bought in Switzerland years ago."
The SVP passes the hot potato to the middle. "The damage caused the defects to the war material law," says President Marcel Dettling. "The middle thing about it is due to it with its hat and hott: it intensified the law with the left, but wanted to return after the war has become." Without tightening, the export competence would have remained with the Federal Council. "This policy lacks longevity."
The People's Party had been opposed to an increase in the law, but then had no exception to Ukraine, because it was not prepared to deliver in war zones. "Now we are offering a hand that countries that have purchased armaments in Switzerland may be able to export them again after a period of five years."
The center takes the government to its duty. "The Federal Council may authorise the export of weapons purchased from Switzerland to other countries, based on Art. 184 and Art. 185 of the Federal Constitution," says President Gerhard Pfister. "The general increase in the arms export law still allows this. But the SVP FDP Federal Council does not want to do that." And Parliament has not yet succeeded in finding a solution that was capable of majority.
Pfister counters the SVP accusation with a counter-question: "Why is it now fighting against the deliveries of protective vests for reasons of neutrality, but wants to allow the re-export of weapons?"
