I didn't know that wasn't originally possible. I don't use Bluetooth with it at all though. My headset and the controller I was using both has dongles, and now I use the Steam controller with it, so no change.
The mouse and keyboard are just regular corded ones as well.
Neither did I, but lately it's been docked since I bent a CPU pin on my regular PC and have yet to unbend it, so it's been a temporary replacement. OLED wouldn't have made a difference in most of its use time in my case.
Exactly. My point is to move to a single universal standard that is used by literally everything so this never happens. Just cut off everything that can't be updated, and it can just sink or swim based on how well it can parse the new table.
Fuck all that ancient non-updateable shit. There's no good reason that old table still exists, much less be possible to use this side of 2000.
Obviously this has legacy problems, but fuck those systems, everyone gotta get new shit now, tough shit. The old table should be cause for new shit to fail compiling in the first place. Shouldn't be possible to use it.
Let's just make forward progress, and lose the chains.
I still see this in various text that's meant to be readable.
Usually ampersands are the biggest culprit, but is it just a really sacred data type that can't be upgraded to include punctuation, but can include the foreign looking wingdings that try to stand in for it?
I'm just confused on why those characters have multi character reference names that aren't part of the regular alphabet or punctuation set either, but those still show up instead of having room to just remove the erroneous reference with the actual character.
It's 2026, just dig out this fossil and fix it already.
Obviously everyone will suddenly magically drive 100 miles a year if it's self reported.
And even reporting the difference each year is a problem. Not so much with digital data, but with the government.
Your car is already selling all the other information already if it's less than 10 or so years old (disclaimer- I don't know the specific number, but that's gotta be close).
I'm in the south, so almost all my personal experience is with the stereotypical Baptist type, and my comment was colored with that understanding. I realize there are more types of Christians, but I'm surrounded by the very stereotypical type. So I was referring to them for the most part.
And by "blindly", I mean they're assuming that the virtue of voting R is somehow mystically better than voting for someone who will actually not destroy millions of lives. The type I'm familiar with only knows Fox and just assumes anybody that even has to think about who to vote for is probably a Satanist, even though they don't actually even have a clue what that actually is. They're "blind" insofar as they can't see sexual results, they just know they get a god-shaped boner when they vote R.
I only broke out of growing up in it 10 years ago almost exactly (don't have a date, but it was someone this month). I knew he had made whispers of running a while back, but even though all I only knew him from at the time was that he was on home alone 2 and the apprentice and was some rich guy. I didn't watch the apprentice, so I didn't know much about it, but I just knew from tidbits that he was a clown.
I knew as soon as he made a peep I knew that he would be a horrible choice, while still working out how I felt about politics from the ground up.
I remember thinking that the "grab em" conversation leak was actually an instant kill to his entire campaign at the time. I still think it should have been, but I severely underestimated how stupid conservatives are.
I was still coming out of a fog of religion at the time. The world was still opening to me.
I don't know the correct answer to this exactly, but given that I've only driven my car (hybrid) about 4k miles total over the last 2 years since I got it (April '24), and paid less (but not $0) in gas tax, but still got hit with the full $130 extra fee is absolutely infuriating. I hadn't even owned it a full year yet but still had to pay a non pro-rated amount (my previous car was a regular gas car).
I'm basically paying almost 6x the rate per mile since I drive so little. I'm the one stuck paying extra because I can't afford to drive enough to justify the full amount, and subsidizing some high mileage driver out there.
I realize tracking mileage has privacy implications, so I don't know a perfect solution, but it fucking SUCKS to get ripped off this hard. While being on disability due to injury and other surgeries, too. I mean I'm still building strength and endurance back to be capable of working again, preferably this year, but I'm the meantime, taxes are fucking killing me.
At least with an EV I would have 0 in gas taxes instead of paying the "not paying gas tax" fee on top of the gas tax- while gas is almost $5 a gallon.
So much bullshit.
Edit- I just noticed that my state does offer a mileage based option, but you have to plug a doodad plugged in the ol Ob2 port or whatever it's called. And then use an app to upload your mileage information, which I believe happens more than once a year, which is weird and more privacy breaking, given that registration is only assessed once a year (or less, if you pay 2 or 3 years ahead). That gives them not only your total mileage for the year, but which month you got those miles in.
I assume per month, but I don't actually know. I assume it's once per year, because they added that in addition to using that device and the app, that you have to annually send a photo of your odometer to what they actually called "true up" your info.
If they're relying on that photo to be the most reliable part, then that should be the only part needed. It's basically screaming in our face that the device and app is definitely just for "spying purposes that we actually make money on".
Personally I don't want to even give them the photo, especially since it's about a $150 fee a year. So given that I drive less than a quarter of whatever is normal now (I've heard "normal" is 10-15k miles per year, but I've only heard it from my parents, so I don't actually know- and again I've gotten about 5k over 2 years), I see this as being assessed it to be a little under $40 for the actual fee, and a little over $100 for the "keep your nose out of my business" fee.
Using LLMs for any creative effort at all (other than mocking the results, no other exception) should just chop your fingers off in a signature pattern so everyone can mock you for the rest of your life.
