@LouisIngenthron Yes it should have been the Legislative branch. I guess that's where some representation is present.

The Nucleo board lives. Had to dig out an old mini-USB cable for it. They haven't updated the design in years. Two USB generations behind!
@thor Wasn't USB supposed to be a standard?

Now that is a complicated question. But usually the main way its accomplished with what we call antitrust laws. When enforced (and the usa has enforced thrm but not as strongly as it should) they effectively make monopolies illegal.
Of course the other key is keeping corruption in check and money out of politics, which isnlikewise a difficult task to do, but critical to a healthy capitalism

@freemo Panasonic Toughpad FZ-X1 has an IP68 rating so you are good for approximately 3 meters.

Deindustrialize they said. We can reboot it when needed they said… they have no idea how industry and logistics work.

Apparently the main lens won't give you 50MP by default. It's 12MP. You have to switch to 50MP mode and lose a lot of functions.
@skyblond Ah yes the modern smartphones and their not exactly true claims.

Hopefully, I'll get more students to tutor about computer science. It feels good to interact with actual humans face-to-face. It also gives me a good reason to take care of myself and stay sober.
@thor I just remember it from the Internet of the past.

@AmpBenzScientist 100%. It's the standard video player on macOS. It's also the built in video and screen capture tool. Windows still has a standard media player, doesn't it? Fun fact: Most web browsers will play H.264 video in a QuickTime .mov container if you rename it to .mp4.

Bow ya figure that makes no sense. Accumulating resources in a vault untouched is the least effecient form, you literally have negative effiency as inflation devalues assets. A person would achieve effiency by investing thrir mo ey wisely and ensuring other people are using those resources to effectively increase the total resources in the market.
You are getting stuck in the fallacy that someone havibg authority (ownership) over those resources means that other people cant use it for their own gains as well which is entierly contrary to the reality. Those resources will be in others hands and used by them in some agreement to use them for mutual gain (investment in others).
