Even without machine translation, stuff like that has been the bane of translating software for ages as they are almost always done with absolutely zero context whatsoever, just a list of words and strings.
~44% of women voted for Trump. Around 55% of men. So women hate themselves almost as much apparently.
For the consumer, obviously.
Patents exist to protect the profit of the inventor, specifically because once you have spent the RnD money to make something, someone else can take your finished idea and create your thing without having to cover those costs. Their entire point is to make sure stuff stays more expensive and exclusive for longer.
But the issue isn't that patents or even software patents exist as a thing, they are important to protect against copying, it's that seemingly almost anything no matter how simple, vague or universal it is can apply and get patented, and whoever owns those patents then doesn't have to use or license them, instead they just sit on them waiting to strike with a lawsuit.
Like one of the Nintendo ones which is the genius and detailed idea of "you can capture objects and ride them in a virtual world using the controller input in a vidya gaym!" - a concept entire unique and one that hasn't been ever used before in a game, now prohibited to be done by anyone else until 2041.
Ah, now when South Korea attacks the peaceful North, they can rest easy as the military might of Russia, the world's strongest and most advanced military, swiftly rushes to the aid of the poor and ill-equipped North with countless troops, modern weapons, equipment and endless supply of ammo, and saves the day!
...what do you mean Russia is currently using North Korean equipment and troops as reinforcements after running low of their own...?
PLA is considered non-toxic by itself already.
And while the biodegradability/compostability is indeed rather circumstantial, the much more important part is that it's a renewable, plant based plastic. Currently the most useful way to get rid of it is to incinerate it for energy, which ends up being rather carbon neutral as it just releases the carbon the plant material used for growing itself.
Exactly. You'd need 28.9km/s of Delta V to get something from the earth to the sun, because your starting velocity is the 107000km/h of the earth and you have to slow down that much.
Instead it takes only 2.9km/s to send Musk to mars and make him fullfil his promise of humans on mars by 2024 (well, he won't arrive this year as the trip takes 8 months, but we could forgive him that)
You are correct in the proper extension support part. Until recently FF Android only supported a handful of selected addons made specifically for it.
uBlock Origin however has been one of those for almost a decade now.
I'm sorry you have been suffering ads all this time.
Because .io is the top level country code domain for the British Indian Ocean Territory, and once a country ceases to exist, the top level domain is supposed to be phased out according to the IANA rules and eventually discontinued by the ICANN.
There are no .yu, .dd, .cs, or .tp domains left. The only exception I know is .su (soviet union).
1.8 billion is around 2% of their last year's net income. At least it's a bit better than the insignificant wristslaps companies tend to get.
It's an Apple device, what did you expect?
The thing even has an external battery pack, and instead of using USB-C so you could use any power bank you already own, they designed a completely new proprietary connector. In 2024.
Who the fuck does that anymore, except Apple?
I completely understand why Valve decided that the touchpad haptics were good enough, the deck is heavy as it is already. I'd still love to have the option of adding some proper rumble on the deck for the games that deserve it.
In 2023, there were over 1000 different recalls in the US which affected 34 million vehicles (bottom of the page). But just like there are around 170 000 cars that catch on fire in the US per year, which is 465 per day, they just don't make the news because nobody cares if it's not a new and sCaRy electric car - even though they catch fire almost a hundred times less often. Though hybrids are twice as likely than gas cars - mixing gas and batteries doesn't seem to be a good idea.
If you want to know what cars do have recalls though, Car and Driver has collected the most relevant ones. For example, how Dodge has to recall 34000 of the 2025 RAM trucks because they have a faulty ESC.
Other picks:
Most of these you never even know about even if you own that car, because they are "soft" recalls - they get automatically fixed the next time you bring your car to service. But if you don't own one of them, then there is almost no way you will ever hear about them. Unless it's about a Tesla.
