They did it because they didn’t want to have to pay for flood insurance. They didn’t give a shit about the kids’ lives and just wanted to save money.

Hopefully Kitten Space Agency ends up being a true spiritual sequel.

To get the temperature probe data on your phone so that you don’t have to repeatedly get up to check it. It’s particularly useful for turkey, where the difference between moist and horribly dry white meat is only 5-10 degrees.

Traeger makes pellet smokers. They have a hopper full of wood pellets and a micro controller that feeds in pellets to maintain a set temperature. You can get ones with a temperature probe to stick in the meat and let you know when it’s done, which is what the Wi-Fi is for.

There’s a legit use case for them because they save a ton of time and effort over smoking the traditional way.

It’s great for smoking though. I’ve done it the old fashioned way of staying up all night to feed wood into the smoker and I’ll gladly take a wifi-enabled pellet smoker with a temperature probe over it.

Yes, but in Texas they only use it for dumb shit like waking up the entire state at 4am to warn them that a cop was shot the previous day in some podunk town 500 miles away.

It prevents rootkit malware that loads before the OS and therefore is very difficult to detect. If enabled, it tells your machine to only load the OS if it’s signed by a trusted key and hasn’t been tampered with.

It’s one of the reasons Tyranny is such a good game. You start out as a bad guy in an evil system. You can try to do good, but you never really succeed because you’re trapped in an evil system.

The devs would probably prefer if their work for several years wasn’t thrown in the trash. It’s the publishers and suits killing games.

Humans essentially do run on fossil fuels. Modern agriculture is very energy intensive.

Just because you have admin rights doesn’t mean the process you’ve invoked does. Unless you specifically elevate it or the process asks to elevate, it’ll run unprivileged.

She apparently had an OF as well, which really draws out the judgmental weirdos.

Also, the robotaxi has been live for all of a day and there’s already footage of it driving on the wrong side of the road: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_s-h0YXtF0c&t=420s

Yes, the one that has only managed to sink or capture 4 ships over their 2 year campaign. Compare that with the Somali pirates that captured 100+ ships during their peak in 2010-2011.

The only possible way they have to close the strait is by mining it. Anything else would be open to air attack and about as effective as the Houthis, which is to say not very.

Nevermind that if they allowed through any shipments, it would defeat the entire purpose of closing the Strait. Oil is fungible and will be resold if a profit can be made, as we’ve already seen with the Russian sanctions.

China gets to not have oil shortages. They’re far more dependent on the middle east for oil. The US has been self sufficient when it comes to oil for almost a decade.

Also they changed the permission model and introduced UAC, but it took developers forever to update and stop constantly writing to sensitive OS locations.

Have you seen what happens when people try to stop agent provocateurs? The police rush in and beat the shit out of them. The entire point of provocateurs is to manufacture an excuse to use violence.

Because people don’t suddenly develop a hivemind when engaging in a protest. You get a large group of people together and the likelihood that at least one of them is a shithead quickly hits 100%. Add in agent provocateurs and you get situations like this.

It’s already happening to me, but it’s over things like privacy, not recording every bit of your life for social media and kids blowing crazy amounts of money on F2P games.
