That just sounds like a worse station wagon. Which, being the owner of a Subaru Outback station wagon, I can confirm.

You don't sound like a very pleasant person to try and have a constructive conversation with.

Did it in my mid 20s before it was all the rage. Couldn't be happier.

It wasn't Bowser, it was the finance guys that were placed at the head of the company after Satoru Iwata's death.

None of those arguments are very good. Why should they have three sperate cameras? Why should they have a USB-C charging port? Wireless can work as well. Why have a 90Hz display? A 60Hz one would work just as well.

Not only that, there is plenty of space. My BlackBerry Z10 running the BB10 OS (that I could side load Android apps on) had a headphone jack. It was physically smaller, running an SoC built on a much larger manufacturing node with a similar style of swappable battery and enclosure had a headphone jack. I even had to replace it and it cost me less than five dollars at the time.

It costs me less to integrate a headphone jack on a circuit board design than a fingerprint reader.

Also if we are talking about sustainability, Bluetooth earphones have batteries. Most of which can't be replaced. Weird headphones are literally cheaper and can last longer.

Having worked in this industry, I can't see any good reason to leave the jack out.

To give users a choice. It doesn't cost much and it doesn't take up any room. I have a FP5 and have taken it apart. There is plenty of space where one could be integrated.

Random question for everyone from a bit of a noob. When I'm using Powershell (PS) in windows I can start to type the name of a built in command or one I have added to PATH and then press tab to auto complete the command. That part works the same in my Linux terminal.

What I can also do after I have typed that command into PS is start to type a file name that exists in the directory that PS is working in and then press tab to auto complete or cycle through the files that match and it even formats the name of the file correctly (meaning if it has a space in the name it will wrap the name in quotes so that it is understood by the commands they are fed to). This auto completing of file names even works on files that were created after the PS window was opened. This functionality doesn't seem to exist by default in any distro I have used. Is it possible to do this in the Linux terminal?

Although I have done some distro hopping, most of them have ultimately been Ubuntu based. Currently running Kubuntu.

That has been my position all along. I think the best thing long term is if shit gets real bad really quickly. The slower the decent the longer the suffering will be overall, and the less people are likely to notice and remember.

Not from what I have read. They are only a couple of millimeters thick and a single strand can be hard to spot and follow on foot especially when it's hanging off of trees and the like. I doubt you are seeing a tiny strand like that through fpv drone goggles. Could be wrong though.

What I do know is that Ukraine is using them and I'm inclined to believe they wouldn't use something that wasn't worth it for very long.

I still spend more time on Windows than Linux and I find it much easier to do basic trimming, splicing, resizing, cropping, and other very basic edits of video with just the ffmpeg CLI.

Go fuck yourself!

Quit being cunts and maybe people will eventually give us another chance, but I won't blame them if they don't.

Let's fucking go! Keep it up everyone, make people here really see and feel the consequences.

I'm under no illusion that anyone who voted for this will "feel bad" or regret their vote. As we have been seeing the people who voted for this do not regret their decision perse. However, the hate that fuels them will only take them so far. If things get bad enough quick enough they might be able to remember it the next time (if there ever is one). I think the cult following of Trump and their emotional sunk cost fallacy won't let them see that voting for Trump was a bad idea, but there is a small chance they will recognize and reject it in whoever comes next.

I'm under no illusion the above will actually happen, I just think it's the best that can be hoped for.

 

Alternately is there a more specific/better targeted community to ask this question in?

I am wanting to research and explore employment and compensation data for a some job categories in the EU and am wondering if there is an equivalent website or agency to BLS.gov in the United States? Unfortunately I only speak English (if that matters), but I can obviously translate webpages if needed.
