Is hurting competitors not the same as hurting consumers?

Awh, I was really hoping this was going to be a bird watching website lol
Re:Free IRS-run tax filing pilot to be available in 13 states on Tuesday October 17, 2023 @04:15PM (#37920931)
This whole thing reads like insanity to me lol, I live & work as a contractor in the UK and I'm taxed directly through PAYE on earnings. Beyond that I just file my tax return through the Gov website.

The majority of people don't just want for cheaper goods, it's a necessity.

You should check out what Lenovo is doing currently; I just picked up a X1 Carbon 6th gen for £340 and loaded Ubuntu on it. The machine runs incredibly well, the trackpad is fantastic and it's a very quiet machine. Literally blew me away with the value for money, coming from my experience with Dell / Huawei laptops they're great.
Probably the same as any unicorn, hit their IPO and make a lot of money for the initial investors. You don't need to aim for long-term growth, just make money for whomever provided your seed funding and they'll happily invest in your next ~ useful ~ product too, repeat ad nauseam.
Re:200-year old heat pump technology is back on Sunday February 19, 2023 @03:27AM (#34855631)
That sounds about right if you've got the thermostat at 20 degrees constantly; I live in a 700~ sq ft apartment and consume around 300kwh/pm; 10% of that is an inefficient NAS I built from old parts and I hardly use the heaters because god almighty are electric heaters inefficient.
Re:Deere to Allow Farmers to Repair Their Own Equipment on Monday January 09, 2023 @02:29AM (#34307766)
What even are the alternatives for farmers, particularly in the US where I presume Deere reigns supreme. Kubota, Kverneland? Or is it effectively a racket where every agricultural equipment manufacturer behaves the same.

I'm confused about Radarr / Sonarr, is that what's directly sourcing the torrents you're downloading or are they being sourced from separate tracker(s)?

Interesting read, I was in Skjåk this August and the entire landscape is covered in pine. My mother in law who's 65 tells me how none of the trees existed around Grotli and the Skjåk region when she was younger, incredible to see how much the landscape has changed in a single lifetime.

I'm with Vodafone too but I didn't need a line rental, I wonder if they've changed their policy as I only got mine a couple years ago.
Isn't it spelled "embedded" not "embeded" in the sub-title? Or is this an American spelling I'm unaware of.
