Amazon video seems to do that. Sometimes I will search something on Amazon and it will pop up asking if I have HBO credentials or whatever.

That doesn’t sound a lot different than “hiding” the cash. If she is working, the husband knows she is getting money.

I do not think the loss of privacy is worth the convenience when talking about replacing cash in a society.

This is kind of messed up as it makes global warming cheap to avoid the felt effects
Between this and CNC it is amazing how highly technical and how high the education requirements can be for “blue collar” work
Are the “heavy” ice engines heavier than the li-ion battery packs for electrics?
The statistics show that most people can’t handle a motor vehicle safely.
Then why don’t you tell us about them bother instead of sounding like a shill?

I think the question is why does it take longer to paint it than it took to build it?

Efficacy is not a column on that chart

Land of the free! Amiright?
And if we are going to have a free market, then mooning the longer trip and getting off at your layover must be allowed
Luckily this is open source software. Be the change you want to see in the world!
Re:How Will ATSC 3.0 Transform TV Advertising? on Wednesday July 12, 2023 @04:58PM (#36701588)
The tech to do this may be here, but the customers are not. Ad free streaming early adopters where techies. Those people are going to willingly eat this shit sandwich and evangelize it to others.
Because everyone loves buying at car dealerships?
Reverse osmosis wastes so much water though
Re:Keep Linux Open and Free–We Can’t Afford Not To on Tuesday July 11, 2023 @11:10AM (#36682114)
Linux is the kernel. Let’s not ignore Mr. Stallman’s contributions to open source software.

I don’t understand why other instances wouldn’t cache the older content and periodically look for updates

Unix was built on that philosophy
How does this help a radiologist? They would be taking pictures of the recovery either way no?

A whole lot easier to take mechanics to court to standardize working hours than to try to take a bunch of lawyers to court
Re:I booted Linux 292,612 times on Friday June 23, 2023 @11:08PM (#36455092)
Patching the kernel requires rebooting in Linux. Kernel and many other things require rebooting on Windows.
The code outside the critical path is easier and quicker
And then after all that you discovered Java?
Re:What Reddit Got Wrong on Wednesday June 14, 2023 @03:51PM (#36331605)
It's really good for home type technical questions too. Like a stack overflow for plex or handyman type things for people who want to scan text and not watch a half hour youtube.

What are you using instead of google search?
