True, but AP newswire internal or social media can probably deliver something. It's just annoyingly common that they don't use larger images in a lot of news. Colorado Sun is a good example of getting with the times.

I can’t imagine having to move state to keep my job

It used to be more common with some of the automaker jobs. Had friends who's families moved all over the US to follow their work periodically.

The big thing more, was that sorting all the recycling is currently the big problem, and it's a perfect use for trainable tech. Regardless if it ends up being able to be recycled. Better sorting means less loads of recycling being diverted to landfills from giving up on sorting.

As for plastic, I'd like to say more often the opportunities that do exist are more frequently reuse/reprocessing into other things.

Without band 71 (used for both LTE and 5G depending on parts of the country) you'll likely see more no service scenarios while rural, but if you're primarily metro, those will be exceedingly rare.

I'm sure there'll be:

  • a lawsuit
  • local news coverage
  • a statement from some high up congressperson
  • a statement from the president "come on!"
  • a lengthy and expensive congressional investigation with the heads of the big three food stores where they'll ask them if they know how facebook works
  • a convoluted bill passed that is based on the rolling average price creep over x consecutive hours that's so confusing everyone just gives up and pays the surge price or starves as America tries as hard as possible to third-world our ass until Putin's Russia (or North Korea or whatever) looks like the Promised Land by comparison (Reverse Babylon AD?)

Ouch, no band 71 at all. That'll hurt T-Mobile extended range and indoors as it is their largest low frequency band. The EU version at least supports one T-Mobile 5G band, and their largest at that (41).

Band 12 and 13 will help low band scenarios with AT&T and Verizon respectively. No band 14 means no AT&T service in rural areas like (my always go to example) western Nebraska where it is AT&T's only low band frequency.

Definitely not the worst band support, but not great either.

Too bad the US is such a toxic environment for cool phones with all the carrier-induced "certification" they put in the way to prevent low-volume and niche manufacturers from bothering.

The whole sorting problem is a real-world case where AI and computer vision could be used right now. Teach the machine to tell the items apart using multiple wavelengths of light. Humans would still be needed for the more complicated sorting, but items could be pre-sorted before getting to the humans.

Immediate loss of all Federal funding. Welfare states like Louisiana will feel the pinch quickly.

Web sites like that are so annoying, they couldn't even be bothered to find an image or video of LineageOS running on a Switch?

"My new email address is persen@icloud.com"

Done.

No explanation necessary. Just give people the new address.

(Just used icloud as a bad joke there.)

If the orange man wins, America is over and none of your concerns will matter as we slip into a fascist dystopia. That is an existential threat we have to deal with right now, and it can actually be prevented.

Tetraethyl lead will do that to brain cells.
