Had the same experience and opinion for years, they do fine on Backblaze's drive stats but don't know that I'll ever super trust them just 'cus.

That said, the current home server has a mix of drives from different manufacturers including seagate to hopefully mitigate the chances that more than one fails at a time.

TikTok is shady in how much info it collects and how tailored the feeds it shows people get.

It is not unique about either of those.

Facebook/Google/et. al. being on this coast instead of that coast doesn't mean they shouldn't have exactly the same scrutiny. Literally the only evidence offered that TikTok was in any way special was "we can't tell you but there's classified info that means we should ban it." Which is less than encouraging that the ban is for anything other than because of 'those dang kids' being annoying.

A scope limits your field of view. It makes it easier to hit far away things moving relatively slowly/predictably.

It would be the opposite of helpful against a fast/close small target. There's a reason duck hunters use shotguns.

Was expecting this again. Still relevant.

That would mean ~360 timezones globally. More if you didn't simplify to a single degree.

Coordinating is enough of a pain across timezones without having to worry (much) about minutes.

Thats the one in California, the one in Vegas has drivers and is between the convention center and a hotel.

IIRC their peak capacity estimates do things like assume loading/unloading times for a family of 4 with luggage to be under 30 seconds too.

That can't be true.

Oh yeah the Rock Paper Scissors thing was well over a year ago. Just another leap in the direction of "podcaster" being first on the wiki.

A Radler is a German thing, shandy in English. Basically half lager half lemonade. Fantastic light drink. I've seen them at Total Wine in a few flavors.

Beer cocktails are a thing. Drink what you like.

Prost.

Those Peak Design backpacks are pretty nice.

It's an in-joke.

The comic used to be big in the ~2000s nerd space, mostly by being one of the earlier video game focused webcomics that hit it big. The author had/has a.... polarizing personality and the comic itself went from dick jokes and game references to super serious miscarriage storyline at the drop of a hat.

Que endless satire.

To cover what? DJI isn't paying anything extra.

If they raise the price to $1700, then the tariff would be $1020 to the US government, again by you, and you would pay $2720 total to get your thing, split between DJI and the port authority.

After they put it on the boat DJI doesn't care. They have their $1000. If they feel like it they can add the tariff charge and handle that for you, that's how it usually happens now, but they don't have to. You'll just get a letter from the port authority about the charges needed to release your item.

I mean it's very simple. A tariff is what you pay the government to get stuff released from the port of entry.

You buy a $1000 DJI quadcopter that was manufactured in China, if Trump does his "60% on everything from China" tariff the US government says you have to pay them $600 or it goes back on the boat.

The complicated part of tarrifs is stuff like "are X-men action figures human or non-human toys" because those get different rates. Not what tariffs "are".
