How have these things not encountered out-of-service stop lights before? This seems like the kind of thing you test before you let them around people.

Newegg is still a thing, you just need to check the “Sold by Newegg” filter.

The World Wide Web, the Internet is the physical network and servers upon which many software stacks run including the Web.

I thought those were mostly at the state level.

The US is 55+ states and dozens of Indian nations all stuck together under one flag. There isn’t a stereotypical person from the States any more than there is a stereotypical European. Putting aside that ‘American’ covers North, South, and Central America.

They have already done that twice with Windows RT and Windows 10 S/S Mode.

The CD-I was at least like footnoteworthy.

I would rather see another two years before I call this totally an over argument. Most people are keeping phones for a few years now.

They are still around.

We aren’t post pandemic. They just want you to think we are.

I wasn’t saying it wasn’t, I was just disagreeing with the OP. Personally I find it pretty uncomfortable to be in a house I don’t know the layout of.

Yeah… no. It’s so you don’t have to ask me where the bathroom is later.

Modern phones will still ping the Bluetooth low energy networks like Find My for Apple devices even when off or on airplane mode. That’s how things like AirTags work.

AFAIK JPL is part of the University of California, not NASA and I’m pretty sure this isn’t the first round of layoffs at JPL in the last few years.

Edit: It’s Caltech. I misremembered.

Edit 2: People seem to not be understanding what I am saying so I will clarify: JPL - Founded in 1936. NASA - Founded in 1958.

While NASA is the primary sponsor of JPL today its management has always fallen to its original founder, Caltech. Both JPL and Caltech are considered Federal Contractors. The decision to lay people off was made by JPLs management and has nothing to do with the current government shutdown. This is the third round of layoffs at JPL in the last 18 months or so and is largely due to cuts and restructuring to planned missions like the Mars Sample Return.

In the Adam West TV show Gordon just picked up the red phone.

This actually happened to me once when I was a kid playing SimCity (I don’t remember if it was 2000 or 3000); The machine, a new but possessed Windows 98 machine, blue screened and ejected the 52x drive without spinning down the CD. So when the tray came out the disc flew across the room like a Lilliputian UFO.

Okay but the Maxwell House was a hotel…

Im talking about both definitions. As I said to the other person; arriving at a private deal does not set precedent for other private or public deals even if it sets an expectation in the mind of a certain dumbass. It would only be a precedent legal or otherwise if we now are okay with future presidents doing the same thing.

If I give my dog a treat every day at the same time that doesn’t mean somebody else has to give their dog a treat at that time which what you are implying.

Does that make sense now?

Again. If two people make a deal in private it doesn’t set a precedent for another private or public deal. That’s it.
