My dad needed a CT scan this evening and the local ER's system for reading the images was down. So they sent him via ambulance to a different hospital 40 miles away. Now I'm reading tonight that CrowdStrike may be to blame.
It doesn't need to be opened with any specific app. Android lets you set default apps for different file types (this is determined by the ending file name characters after the "."). Since you're on GrapheneOS, you're probably privacy-conscience and would be wise to stick with the app included with the OS. This behavior contrasts a user who heads to the Play Store and goes with any PDF reader willy-nilly.
GrapheneOS actually has a built in PDF reader. Open the "Apps" app if it isn't installed. Look for "PDF Reader" and make sure its installed.
About $300. Lately I have purchased a lightly used Pixel off eBay (when the new generation drops) and have had great success.
You're damn right they are worth billions. They synergized cognitive computing via blockchain with AI through sentiment analysis and deep learning. Just wait until they add a touch of intelligent automation, machine learning, predictive analytics, and natural language processing. Chefs kiss this unicorn is gonna be worth trillions.
The inflation rate has just about always been positive (besides a few rare years in the 1920s and 1930s). Holding dollars has always lost you buying power. Its just that in recent years, the rate of inflation has been enough for more people to notice.
I prefer the TI-83 version from early 2000s. https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/ss/243/24338.gif
People are people and borders are arbitrary.
RIP Kabosu <3
Shibes of Fediverse,
With great sorrow, I must notify you of our Queen's demise. Kabosu lived to 12 years old and has ascended beyond her mortal form.
Such wow much condolences 🌹
Energy prices have mostly increased because the supply of dollars was diluted about 40% since 2020. Central banks silently rob the populace. Bitcoin was ironically created as hedge against money printing.
At least get a cleaning for a few hundred bucks, opt for x-rays, then discuss what your options are for restorative work. Finding abscesses and getting screened for oral cancer is important to your overall health.
The batteries are about half the cost of making an EV. A $30k car literally has $15k+ worth of batteries inside. The Chinese are prepared to produce batteries today. China will not be able to arbitrarily limit global supply in the future. Global lithium supply is not analogous to oil prices and OPEC.
Lithium ion batteries are not produced by 1 entity and the tech has been around a few decades. People are absolutely innovating better, more sustainable, and less toxic battery chemistry. Lithium is just the best option we have now.
The US government can and should be directly financing mining and making lithium batteries. There's enough lithium and cobalt scattered around the world to not give China full control over the price. The perfect is the enemy of the good. Until a more energy-dense battery chemistry goes mainstream: lithium is our only option to stop burning (some) oil. Batteries needs to be fully embraced regardless of who's currently setup to profit. China just thought ahead and the US wants to throw a tantrum.
Do Win 10 LTSC users still get shoveled this shit? I'm asking for a friend.
I don't know about the BYD, but the Tesla Y has a 5 star rating from ANCAP, Euro NCAP, and the NHTSA. I'm far from a Tesla fanboy. I'm just genuinely curious why you think either is unsafe.
Syncthing accomplishes both local and Internet transfers and doesn't need a third party server (if you're not doing NAT traversal). I don't think you can send individual files through it's interface. But you can share a directory and any files you add (or edit) will sync via P2P to other devices.
The cloud is just someone else's computer. If we could normalize people holding their own data, that would be fantastic. I get that your grandma has a hard time backing up to multiple locations (and testing her backups). Convenient? Definitely. I just don't think your average person understands the ramifications of trusting these for-profit monopolies with complete control of their data. It seems like a magical refuge to far too many.
Its not even a free market. Check the protectionism keeping Chinese EVs out of the US. Its more like the land of corporate profits.
