Outside of war, they were used as lush people transports (watch Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade for an entertaining scene, and the Hindenburg disaster for a not so entertaing real life one.) Probably cargo too, but I've never looked into it.
They were quite useful in wartime, especially at the beginning of the war. They were used for recon and bombing runs. The Zeppelin was a particularly fearsome beast, that had huge psychological effects on the enemy (they could be heard, but not seen, raining death from above). They could fly significantly higher than planes of the time and at the beginning, planes didn't have great guns to shoot them (or anything) down. Even if they were hit, bullets would pass right through, even though they were filled with hydrogen, because there was no spark/flame involved. Anti-aircraft spotters and guns also weren't super effective for Zeps, especially at night.
That all changed with the invention of incendiary and explosive bullets. A single shot could take down a Zep in a great, flaming ball of fire. That, along with improved guns and higher flying aircraft pretty much ended the time of the Zeppelin. I think by 1917, they were all but obsolete for war ops.
3 days. At the end of university I had no money because I stupidly spent it all on booze. I was too proud (and stupid) to ask my parents for anything so it wasn't until I got on the plane to go to my girlfriend's that I got food. An airplane meal never tasted so good!
and pretty much lose their ass with all the cash grabs?
In 2017 Microsoft's gaming division had about 9 billion dollars of revenue.
In the last fiscal year (ended in July) that revenue was 23 billion dollars.Sony: 31 billion dollarsNintendo: 9 billion dollars? (harder to find numbers)
I think they're doing okay. Just because they're not number 1 in consoles doesn't mean they're dead. 30 million units sold of Series X/S isn't exactly losing their ass. And all console fans should cheer for MS to keep going. It's great that Steam Deck and the like are pushing into the market now, but losing Xbox would be terrible. Price, innovation, and quality would suffer if Sony didn't have MS nipping at their heels.
To avoid confusion you could say, "along with", or fully say, "I encrypt with AES-256 as I compress, in one step".
It's not necessarily about what you know, but about what readers will understand. (For example, someone who doesn't know better might read what you wrote and think there is some way to compress using AES-256 and go down a rabbit hole.)
In addition to clogged drains, each day about 154,000 lbs. of used clothing leaves Accra’s main garment market bound for a dump on the banks of the Korle Lagoon.
Plex screensaver isn't far off. Though now you reminded me I have to get myself off Plex. Sigh.
