It was a good first gen phone, but you definitely did better by waiting for the 920. That think was darn near indestructable.
There’s a common thing known as “judge shopping”. The big wigs and those with enough money can ensure that a trial goes to a court in an area that is likely to be favorable to their interests.
For example, if a company is going to court because of something environmental or anti-worker, they’ll try to get the court session held in a conservative jurisdiction.
I had an old Samsung windows phone, the first gen. I loved that thing. The performance was great and the screen was fairly small, but it was way more usable than other phones despite the lower resolution because it had an OLED display.
Then I eventually got the Lumia 1520 behemoth haha. Then eventually back to one of Sony’s Compact phones, but the performance was terrible. I’m now on more regular sized phones.
The best part about the smaller phones was the much for usable single-handed use. I think that’s the main thing. I also tended to use another device for things like reading or entertainment. But I will say though, that 1520 was pretty great.
How’s the performance of the phone? I had one of the older Z Compacts and while I liked the smaller size, the performance was pretty abysmal. Like, I’m in line and want to get my ticket out ahead of time - still waiting for the phone to catch up by the time I got to my turn.
Maybe Gris might fall into this category? The art is watercolor-like. https://kagi.com/proxy/49096932556_9df94050cd_k.jpg?c=ku7SFIUNyzScXcKVCiVtiLt8qp38RhQL-qpVbdZEzLDJAe5oxkuASH4KBlnRxNVbU0-UjMTnFdPJCpJGzapCh641CjuxRLLgJ1LWV6r1hqs%3D
Something like that, except it’d be DeLarge and it’s in the system with a space and apparently case-insensitive
Edit/Update: It turns out that my last name has a capitol letter in the middle and they put a space in it. Thank god. I can actually vote this year.
Yep, not found
I see these things all over Latin America and stayed at a bunch of places that have them. It can get SUPER hot. The cool thing about them is that the pipes that heat the water are vacuum sealed and don’t heat the water directly. I forget the exact mechanics of it, but it pretty much doesn’t matter what the temperature is. It can take that solar energy and add it to water.
I don’t think you’ll be complaining on any of them. Was having gigabit nice? Of course, but 350 is plenty. Most services won’t even transfer that quickly to you and you can run a lot of video streams on that.
But the main way to tell would be if your router has a traffic meter on it since it has all devices going through it. Otherwise if you’re mainly on PC you can use the task manager to see how much is going on and out
Tl;dr - fediverse probably won’t do too much, and it does have discoverability issues, along with migration issues
Renewable biomass: burning forests before you turn them to coal
It looked like it was a combination with that and the chemical they washed it with. Also, for this particular product, it isn’t healthy to use the sulfur treatment, it seems. The producers said something to the effect of, “we know this will cause problems for people, but the fruit is prettier and we get better prices for them”.
The news company said that they tested them as well and found them to be toxic.
and also in the article
If you asked me to pick a state for that, Oregon would not have been it
While they likely do have the capability of doing that eventually, there are only two places in the world that have the capability of doing the super small nm scale chips: Netherlands and Taiwan. These machines are insanely complicated and precise. I wouldn’t be surprised if China was a decade or more away from doing it themselves. I could be wrong, but this scale of chips is an entirely different monster.
Now, they could be closer, but this particular job isn’t that simple.
I just read the 25 pages and they used a lot of hard data from China’s own databases, though the data is very limited access and particularly opaque even when compared to other regions according to the report, and it looks pretty compelling.
Edit: I’ll add that I’m changing my mind about it. I used to believe it, then I started to distrust it, but now I guess I’m coming back to it. What’s pretty wild is I’ve watched videos of people going to Xinjiang and it looks totally normal. Mosques everywhere, arabic text, people smiling, etc. Then on top of that it’s pretty clear that western capital wants to reduce China’s gains, so of course we’re happy at these reports.
But the quickest way to clear it up would be for China to let the UN come and look and interview people, but they aren’t. I do recognize that UN investigations tend to come with US spies, but I don’t really see what’s over there to hide, anyway.
