Wow, you totally misunderstood the whole issue?

The point of China subsidizing their industry and their universities isn't so that their people can "buy a new car every year or two" because they're cheap.

It's because that way they progress their technology and manufacturing infrastructure so much that no one else can compete. They chase everyone else out of the market, while their companies pull in massive profits and keep the high paying jobs for their citizens.

Well paid workers can buy their own housing without government assistance, but what happened to all those tax benefits the US gov handed out for EVs? They catapulted Musk's wealth, while the workers are nowhere closer to affording an EV, or a home, or even healthcare.

I don't know if this is a criminal charge, but if it is, then this is the answer right here.

A couple of months behind bars would be a brutal wake up call to billionaires that money can't buy everything.

Of course they'd just double down on buying more politicians and judges.

So let me boil down the list of arguments in your refutation:

  • Assert a belief about wrongness.
  • Assert a belief about lack of knowledge
  • Disregard provided proof contrary to own beliefs
  • Present zero proof supporting own belief
  • Expletive

Masterfully done, you should run for president. Moron.

I always use /all, out of curiosity what's your issue with it? I have nsfw hidden, and have been having a good time.

Im using Firefox because fuck Google's monopoly, but Firefox seems to care little for some stuff I think is critical, namely AV codec support. Lack of out of the box support for HEVC and a few others, which my underlying OS supports perfectly, is a big turn off.

May be time to give Opera a spin

Great, as soon as you have that working we'll just make it useless in Ubuntu and rebundle everything plus their mothers in a snap

I can't follow your reasoning. If companies cannot own houses, how do you propose this shell-ownership would work? Wouldn't the owner just be free to sell the house at any time and pocket the cash for themselves?

As for tax evasion by foreigners that own real estate, I mean how is that even a problem? There's millions of foreigners that do business in the US everyday, plus, these ones have actual immovable assets that can be seized...

Sounds perfect, do it. I wanna see your income statement when you own 20 apartments.

Definitely then the issue lies with click to subscribe, and not with click to cancel.

If the customer is insufficiently informed of any penalties for cancelling, then he shouldn't have been allowed to subscribe in the first place.

You should get a prescription, it will do wonders to your humour.

Yeah I occasionally run into that block that blames GDPR too, and it makes me wonder just what in hell they want to do with user data...

It's not hard to comply with GDPR, unless you're a shady scumbag, in which case, thanks for the warning I guess.

Oh yes it's intended, there's even a setting where you can choose between abbreviations or scientific notation, because everyone knows K, M or B, but ain't nobody gonna remember Ovg for "Octovigintillion" (10^87 apparently), much easier to just keep track of the powers.

It's decent fun for what it is and it's f2p, give a spin if you want - https://idlechampions.com/

 

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to control a "dumb" led light strip segment with an ESP-01S. This is fairly low current, the strip will pull 150mA-200mA max (depends on... artistic? needs).

I have two NPN transistors (2N2222), one to control the 12V supply to the white "channel" and the other the red+blue (don't need the green).

I had to pull-down the gates as I had some flickering, and it works perfectly if I manually connect the GPIOs after the ESP-01S boots.

The ESP will boot if I have the RX pin (GPIO03) pulled down on boot, but not if I pull down any of the others.

I'm not smart enough to come up with a way to have that extra pin I need to be high only during boot, while the gate it's attached to needs to be pulled down...

Any thought, other than getting something with more IO pins?
