Most don’t get that many. OP is likely targeted in the systems. My guess is that he votes often in the primaries and has shown interest elsewhere, like by signing up for communications or donating to or volunteering for campaigns.

I just checked my spam and I’ve received four political texts in July.

Call screening is honestly one of the best features to ever come to a phone. I really wish this could be added to every handset.

You might want to re-read the article. That quote was talking about lithium ion batteries.

This scarcity, combined with the surge in demand for the lithium-ion batteries for laptops, phones and EVs, have sent prices skyrocketing, putting the needed batteries further out of reach.

Lithium deposits are also concentrated. The “Lithium Triangle” of Chile, Argentina and Bolivia holds more than 75% of the world’s lithium supply, with other deposits in Australia, North Carolina and Nevada. This benefits some nations over others in the decarbonization needed to fight climate change.

“Global action requires working together to access critically important materials,” Meng said.

Should be every single one that supports IPv6.

It’s usually considered a poor idea to use it also as an AP.

The location usually isn’t great for your WiFi and there are better tools for the job.

OpnSense would be the easiest way if you wanted to go. It’s still not easy, but the articles online should help you out.

First you’d need a machine. I’ve got an m920q I bought off eBay for $135 after shipping.

The computer will likely only have one Ethernet port. And it’s likely the port is Realtek which isn’t supported well.

So, you’ll need to get yourself a NIC (a fancy term for a network card). There are good forum posts and articles online about the best NICs to buy for your needs. Intel is a must. However, you can find many of their NICs online labeled as another brand - usually HP, Lenovo, or Dell. Again, the forum posts will tell you what to look for.

If you bought the same computer I mentioned above, you’ll also need a riser and a bezel. Amazon and eBay will have a good selection.

Now assemble it. Flash the computer with OpnSense. Don’t plug it in as your router yet. Follow along with some basic setup guides online to figure out how you want it configured.

Once you’re happy, plug it in as your router and test that it works. If not, you’ll need to put your old router back in place until you can figure out what you need to change.

The most common one I’ve seen on Google News uses DNS checking, too. If it can’t resolve an ad domain, it assumes you’re using an ad blocker.

A Chinese conglomerate publicly traded on the NYSE who reports in USD and files with the SEC? A Chinese conglomerate with their headquarters in Kentucky whose majority investors are institutional? A Chinese conglomerate with most shares owned by people or companies in America and whose executives are all American?

Yum (KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut) split from Pepsi a couple decades ago back in 1997.

Counter-counterpoint.

The Lions collapse was even more boggling.

CCS to USB-C?

Sounds like someone accidentally used the wrong port a few times.

By that logic, there either never has been a murder in human history or governments cause people to murder.

Anarchy isn’t some deep philosophy, it’s just a lack of any sort of life experience.

Age discrimination only applies if you’re above 40.

At least for Ubuntu, you do need to set the permissions of the AppImage before it’ll launch.

I still haven’t figured out how to make .desktop files work yet.

I get mandatory tips on large parties as long as the policy is made clear before ordering. But like you said, service charges are ridiculous and so are mandatory tips for small groups.

That would be great, but you can buy a $20 burner from a gas station that’s more powerful than those phones.

The regular version uses the Allwinner A64 chip which retailed for $5 when it was released… Back in 2015.

The Pro version uses the RK3399S, which is a custom lower binned version of the RK3399. Neither chip was made available retail, but the SK3399 was released in 2016 and only otherwise used in low-end Chromebooks and SBCs.

$35B sounds more like it’s intended to find a way to make these conversions possible and create a “blueprint” to be used elsewhere.

Real AI hardware designed for tensor math

They exist, they’re just not cheap since they’re meant for enterprise use and should last much longer.

At least for most smart TVs, they’re completely operational if you never connect them to the Internet, though.
