The collective confusion and mental gymnastics to twist it when Republicans heard about the Hunter Biden conviction cost the US billions in lost productivity.

Ah, I always update the driver through the package manager and it never auto-updates.

You don’t need to update NVIDIA drivers every time there’s a release. I don’t even do that on my Windows machine. Most driver updates are just tweaks for the latest game, not bug fixes or performance improvements.

And hell, you’re using Linux. Vim updates more often than the graphics driver, what do you expect?

Been running Wayland for 2 years and only issue I had with it was Synergy not working.

Never had an issue with Nvidia on Linux. Yes, you have to use proprietary drivers, but outside of that I’ve been running Linux with Nvidia cards for 20 years.

Bless your heart

Ok, so you were saying you prefer a privacy focused OS but settle for iOS because it’s simpler. Fair point.

As far as data collection goes, Google isn’t selling it either. Apple and Google are both collecting your data to assign you to certain demographics. They then sell ad space, and the people that purchase those ads can select the demographic they want it to go to. It’s not ideal, but it’s certainly better than them selling your actual personal data to third parties.

Right, because Apple doesn’t collect your data, even though it says they do right in the terms of service you agreed to without reading.

3x as much is “marginally better.” What world do you Apple zealots live in?

Why would you only use a privacy focused ROM and not stock Android, when you use a stock iPhone? Do you think that Apple doesn’t collect just as much data on you as Android does? It’s literally in the Apple terms of service. They’ve just conned you into believing their marketing BS.

The DRM and licensing built into HDMI is a massive con either way. Not to mention DP connectors are far more robust than HDMI - I’ve had quite a few HDMI cables and ports just bend/break with minimal use. Fiddled with just as many DP cables and never had a port or connector get loose or break. I’d probably choose DP even if its standards were lagging behind HDMI’s.

For universities, sure. But not for US public elementary and high schools. They’re just poor.

Likely, but DP is still superior to even the latest HDMI standards, so I’d choose it over HDMI whenever that’s an option.

Or maybe most people that sit in front of a monitor all day are working and can benefit from a sharper image and more real estate. I work in tech and end up needing a lot of windows and terminals on the screen at once - upgrading from 1080p to 1440p was a game changer for productivity.

Most ammunition, especially ammo used at a range, are copper jacketed. There is no exposure to lead when handling most ammo.

The same Stanley and these specific ones recently became insanely trendy.

They’re not cheap if you get them first hand but they’re not insane considering who we’re talking about. Bands like The Eagles, Rolling Stones,etc were commanding $150+ tickets two decades ago. But good luck getting a non-resale ticket, between bots and the companies themselves buying the tickets solely to mark up for resale it’s nearly impossible to get a ticket at face value.

IP67 in reality won’t last 30 minutes submerged in most cases. I’ve had flagship level IP67 devices get damaged by water ingress by being splashed or dunked a couple inches into a pool for less than a second. My Pixel 8 Pro goes into the shower, bath, pool, hot tub, and rain with me and it’s never skipped a beat.

Thanks for the anecdotal evidence, but in general those buds ended up in the trash in months, if not weeks. Out of all the people I know, pretty sure my wife is the only one that likes the wired buds that came with phones, but she went through a pair every few months. She switched to Pixel Buds a while back and only uses the wired ones when she runs, but still has to buy new ones twice a year.
