It's interesting, especially for compact or oddly-shaped devices, but I imagine these printed batteries are not great for repairability. The nice thing about cells is that they're pretty standardized- it's simple to identify, order, and install a replacement part from your vendor of choice. With these custom batteries, it might not even be possible to replace depending on how the OEM designs the parts, let alone find an alternative if the OEM doesn't sell replacement parts.
Historically, general encyclopedias were limited by the physical amount of space they took up. Wikipedia is not limited by the page and volume counts of physical media and we shouldn't treat it as such.
While I can agree that domain-specific encyclopedias should continue to limit the scope of their information to relevant topics, I see no reason that Wikipedia should follow suit. Who truly benefits from reducing and editorializing information, especially when the fundamental principle is the free and open flow of knowledge? Wikipedia could certainly benefit from writing on complex topics that is friendlier to the average joe, but that should never come at the expense of restricting the sum total of knowledge stored in its servers.
Right, what trust? The trust they lost by putting dumbass MBAs in charge who don't know shit and chase short term profits over sustaining a healthy community?
If i didn't have to redo all my customizations on a fresh install, I might actually cry tears of joy (i like to try different os and wipe my laptop regularly, so this is a legitimate annoyance for me)
I think you misunderstood what I said, or perhaps I wasn't clear. I'm saying the killswitch should have been in place from day one when they started implementing ai features.
That said, Mozilla seems to fundamentally misunderstand their market. The type of people who use firefox are generally pretty tech-savvy, and care about things like privacy and control over their experience. Rather than hone in on features that their users want, they have hitched their wagon to the ai hype train in an attempt to curry favor with the masses.
They should never have rolled out any of these AI features without this already implemented. I think it really speaks to their priorities that they rolled it out in this order.
Buyers don’t need a pilot’s license to operate the aircraft, though they must complete training and take an FAA knowledge test.
That's absolutely fucking insane. How did the FAA approve this? The only saving grace here is that the $200k price tag means few, if any, will be sold to random idiots who want a flying car.
That makes sense, it would definitely be easier if you didn't have to deal with DRM or launchers (like Steam and Epic, not the game launcher itself) getting in the way.
They say Valve requires users to buy all additional content through Steam if they've bought that game through the platform, effectively "locking in" users to make purchases on its platform.
Is there a platform out there that allows dlc from other sources? It never occurred to me this was even a thing.
