According to Which?, Apple has made it difficult for iPhone and iPad users to choose alternative data storage options, effectively pushing them towards iCloud while suppressing competition.

From my perspective you can’t bet both sides and still expect gains on average.

Statistically you can. Firstly, when you invest you can limit how much that could be lost right off the bat by how you invest and via what amount. For example: BUYing $20k in 2 opposing stocks, split 10k each. Max possible loss? All $20k.

Let’s say the Index goes up 10% which suggests on average that $20k is now $22k, or $11k/stock.

In actuality stock A loses 50% but stock B gains 60%. Had you luckily invest solely in the right stock (B) with all 20k you would have made $12k. Badly (stock A)? Lost $10k. By hedging you dilute max potential gains to mitigate catastrophic loses.

Okay, now they’re just taking the piss lol

You wish it only had the same level of approval as under Biden. Don’t worry. Reality will teach some harsh lessons soon.

Better get used to it. It’s nothing but ‘USA Approved’ for the next 4 years.

I wonder if Police nationale reads Lemmy?

I can’t wait to hear your weeping when the Trump backed MIC starts shovelling weapons to Israel, awards Netanyahu with the Medal of Freedom, and vetos any Israeli conviction by the ICC.

When both Gaza and the WB are completely annexed and Trump congratulates Netanyahu for a job well done while violently suppressing any US protests, I’m sure you’ll admit your refusing to vote for Harris was a great idea.

I don’t think you truly appreciate the shit storm that is coming your way. Because of you and your compatriots refusal to vote Dem Trump “will be a dictator on day one”. 13-20 million ‘illegal’ immigrants are promised to be deported. It is now possible anyone protesting, or even daring to speak out on social media (they’ll even look here I’m sure) against Israel’s actions will be included in that number. If I were you I’d get my licks in while I could, but use a VPN while doing it if it isn’t too late already.

It’s looking like the whole of US government is going to be majority Red through and through. That means any bill, including one for the formation of HUAC 2.0 gets rammed through. Oh well, at least you’ll have self-righteousness to console you going through whatever happens after January.

And so it begins. GG 3rd party protest voters. Prepare to witness the consequences of your myopia.

Go back to dealing with spez’ trolls

Laugh and change their rep to hostile

Sunflowers were already Ukraine’s national flower, but they emerged as a symbol of resistance after a widely shared video clip appeared to show a Ukrainian woman berating Russian soldiers, telling them to put sunflower seeds in their pockets so that flowers would grow after they died in battle.

cover them with lime

Or sunflower seeds.

Talk to an attorney.

Depends how much it snows and how cold it gets. Much of this may sound over-cautious if your winters are mild.

• Most cities/towns have by-laws regulating property owners clear and rock-salt their walkways within a set amount of time after snow has ceased falling,

• If you use a shovel, get an ergonomic one. It is very easy to hurt your back clearing snow. No matter how long you wait, the plow always comes AFTER you’ve cleared your driveway,

• If you have kids, get into the routine of checking local news for ‘snow days’, or in other words the schools have announced they are closed due to poor road conditions,

• Keep an eye on your (and I guess your neighbours if you want to be helpful) house’ roof and make sure the snow doesn’t build up too much as this can cause damage/leaks/collapses if it gets too heavy

It biases them towards catering to public demand instead of being a neutral arbiter of justice.

Want to keep your job as judge? Better not be ‘weak on crime’ etc…

Yup. Or in other words “spikes”.

“This represents a 32 percent drop in killings and injuries compared with the first quarter, but an increase of 27 percent compared with the second quarter,”

Okay but why go through the battery interface and not try the old converter cable one? Much easier to splice the cable past the box than try to rig a connection to the underside of the laptop. Would also prevent any ‘no battery’ issues too.

The battery is DC. How do you plan to provide DC to the battery connection from AC outlets without a convertor?
