At least in America often the top-tier phones will get the best deals. An example is various carriers a few times a year will give you a new iPhone or Galaxy for free or low cost if you trade in an iPhone or Galaxy (often running promos even taking outdated and broken handsets Example Verizon iPhone 15 Pro deal). Very often budget handsets get little to no subsidy and worse trade-in deals. How many people facing the option of trading in a broken phone for a free high end model, or getting enough trade in value to buy a cheaper basic handset, would not choose and iPhone Pro Max.

Most high volume printing (like shipping labels) is done with thermal printers where the heat turns chemicals on the paper black. These chemicals usually can withstand water but not alcohol so spraying with pure alcohol and wiping off usually will blank the paper entirely.

Scaling, MacOS has no actual scaling it will only lower the resolution, and using Retina on anything that isn’t sold in an Apple store (and even then) just simply does not work. It essentially has no HiDPI support past using native resolution with slightly larger text that is not adhered to by most of the operating system itself. I am at a loss at why you think this is well handled, what criteria are you using?

I feel this is one of those few sectors, like wifi compatibility, where Windows completely destroys Linux, MacOS, and BSD. As someone who regularly switches between operating systems on bare metal & 4K, trying to use a HiDPI display on *nix is painful and will only kinda work with caveats after 100 hacks (as seen here), whereas Windows has a zoom slider that just works.

There was/is but its about licensing rather than Raygun’s performance Source

Yeah but the stakes are higher in Jersey you can get fined or even jail for messing up that password.

I will admit crediting a story to Tyler Durden is odd to say the least and a bit off-putting. That aside, this is a story about various watch robberies committed in LA and NYC, some committed by recently arrived migrants, and suggesting that rich people are starting to feel unsafe and as a result becoming anti-migrant.

This was a decent show but the pacing was slow (felt like they spent half the season showing the inside of the box), the ending felt more incel than hopeful, and I am actually kind of surprised this got a second season.

 

Per this source, a 25 mile radius includes 585,000 people. That means (before lawyer fees so imagine half in actuality), Norfolk-Southern wants to give $1,000 per person for permanently poisoning not only their property but their body which is now forever scarred. This was filed for approval by the Plaintiff (people hurt) but as shown in the story and simple math show this can't be appropriate for a company with billions in revenue. Unfortunately this may also (not sure about insurance's involvement) represent a third of their cash on hand 2023 Annual Report pdf page 58/their k48. I personally believe this is unjust and would love to hear other opinions and/or other information such as the index number for this (I have not diligently searched/PACER looked, but usually at least one news sources mentions a caption or docket number).
