Toshiba exec claims hard drives are 7X cheaper than SSDs and will continually evolve for large datacenters

Hamr drives and for data center use. Consumer ssds are made very poorly and even premium drives like a Samsung pro won't hold up in a data center environment. Hard drives on the other hand are basically only data center versions now.

When the fuck did a mobile hotspot become something you have to pay extra for?
When net neutrality was the law you could do that and the phone company couldn't charge you. The company branded phone could just not support it. Before that it was ridiculously expensive, and now it depends on the company. Most post paid plans take it out of your fast data with no extra fee.

A 7,000-Pound Car Smashed Through a Guardrail. That’s Bad News for All of Us.

Trucks are commercial vehicles. People driving commercial vehicles should be professionals and we should have required a commercial class c license for all light duty pickup trucks or SUVs. Anything that gets an emissions credit so they can have lower MPG for being a commercial vehicle should also be classed as a commercial vehicle for licensing purposes.

How the heck did we get here? Most best selling "cars" are now superzied pickups and SUVs.

Your rav four either serves the purpose of a small SUV or minivan depending on the year. The current one is an MPV based on a small van so it's literally a minivan from Japan with regular doors. It does not have the cargo space of a wagon and it definitely doesn't have the performance or handling of a sport wagon. The closest thing Toyota had in the US would be the really old Camry V6 or the matrix XRS. Maybe a Prius v if it could have had the Prius all-wheel drive prime power train.

Nintendo online is even more shitty than the others. We still have zero games with dedicated servers splatoon smash none of them have dedicated servers which is the whole point in why they needed to charge a fee. You might like having the old games on the emulator for the monthly fee and that would be fine but there's no reason to charge for matchmaking. Matchmaking and leaderboard should be free it might cost like 5 to 10 cents per year per user and they make way more than that with the 30 to 50% licensing fee for each game. To make the Nintendo one even worse third parties still have to pay for online services even though Nintendo also charges the customer. So if you buy a game that wants to use matchmaking or leaderboards they have to pay Nintendo additional fees for you to use them even though the customer you're all so paying the fee for the same service

But how will people know what size the pp is?

Not including the wheel well the Isuzu should be about 47 in. The F-150 is about 42. Including the wheel well it's like 50 on the Isuzu and 52 on the F-150. The Isuzu will have more usable bed space and the wheel wells don't go up very far so they're pretty usable going like 2 inches up.

I can't recall seeing any legal head or tail lights that have flickering issues. We will hopefully see this issue less and less as people are no longer allowed to buy the illegal retrofit kits from places that sell headlights. We've seen a lot less people running the Sylvania super bright off-road lights now that you're not allowed to buy them from the headlight section of an auto parts store and online stores are not allowed to sell them without off-road use popup warnings.
I really wish that instead of useless trash like drunk driver checkpoints midweek we would start seeing headlight inspection points or other vehicle inspection points to check for safety issues like these; if we're going to keep having these checkpoints for no reason.

They are popular since they cost less than non internet version. This is them removing the internet/subscription version that they were tricking people with.

T-Mobile's New AI "Profiling" Privacy Toggle Is On By Default

They do but not this T-Mobile. It's in violation of California's privacy rules to be opted in by default for something like this.

Everything scales with you, and there are limited ways to get items/account rewards without finishing the story 1st. I like to do everything as I get it, but that put me way behind in gear.

Edge-Lit, Thin LCD TVs Are Having Early Heat Death Issues
Reply in thread
Then ruins oleds too. Oled need giant heat sinks to work properly, but they've been being very thin and having plastic bags so they can look sleek. It's especially obnoxious because full array LCDs and uniform thickness OLED are much thinner than the protruding bulge that comes out on most super thin TVs.

I'm in California and it was on by default. To comply with California rolls anyone in the US who resides in California can be covered even though it's not their billing address. So enabling anything like that by default or not prompting to have permission for cookies or selling data is in violation for anyone who does business in California. The gdpr rules also apply to anyone who's in EU citizen or resident even if they're outside of the EU so since T-Mobile does business in both they need to comply.

They did this with 1.6 and the source Mac update previously. They've just completely changed the game and the feature set before it's nothing new. This time they just change the name of the game with it, instead of claiming a balance patch.

iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro rumored to feature big boost in battery sizes
Reply in thread
The 67 was measured with no accessories or load. It would be about 350 bhp today. It also had ledded fuel that would be like running on only e85 and with no cat today. If you had that the Z06 would be well over 1000 hp with the old rating.

I wish sites would stop using nm. The new chip should should be on tsmc 3n, that is a 5nm process. The old one was on 5n and that is a high density 6-7nm process

Google no longer allows for a separate pro version. Sync was grandfathered in before. I also don't like the IAP way of doing since the ads come back when google has issues or you shut down your device, but there won't be a good way around it.
