I don't get it, what's to appreciate here? They bought a thousand plastic drones from China with a thousand disposable lithium ion batteries that are bad for the environment, and had them shipped over on a cargo megaship that spews smog into the atmosphere. They're utilizing a bunch of things that have fucked the environment to do a little light show to "raise awareness" over a city that is already full of people that don't need to be convinced that climate change is a problem.

One of the perks of being agnostic is that you don't have to tell people you're agnostic. When others ask me about my religion, I just shrug and say I was raised Christian but I'm not really religious anymore. I don't mention that I'm agnostic unless they pry and ask more questions.

I think 50k is definitely on the low end of what you might consider a "city". And you're right, it would depend on density. IMO a city with that population can't really sustain a bus system if it's spread out too much.

Notebookcheck is pretty dry but their reviews are more thorough and technical than most.

To be fair, it's just California trying to save us from the monsters that they created 😂 ...... 😫

I like shitting on Facebook but this is a stupid article.

Meta is literally resorting to giving them away for free: Attendees of this year's developer conference for the global gaming platform Roblox each got a free Meta Quest Pro. While it's unclear how many people attended the event, it's a clear indication that the device isn't exactly flying off the shelves.

So they gave some away at a dev conference. But we don't know how many, and we also don't know if the Roblox conference paid for those devices or if Meta really gave them away for free. Clickbait bullshit.

Not really, you're ideally paying for a server that you have complete control of. The differences are mostly just fundamental limitations.

Example: if you're hosting off site, you will always be connecting remotely, so your access depends on a network connection. If you're hosting at home then your stuff is still accessible when your internet goes down

Fair, I got about halfway through before I got bored.

Oh yeah I wouldn't get cheap brands for clients. But I do buy them for myself (and I make sure they're backed up).

There are exceptions in liberal cities, but data shows that Americans consume a LOT more meat on average than most other countries.
