We handle a lot of IP so I can't install anything on the PC that isn't pre-approved (like MS Teams). I am able to add certain extensions like Ublock but not others like Keepa (Amazon price tracker).

Unfortunately I'm stuck with Chrome at work so having something like Ublock Lite available is somewhat helpful. I just hope it still blocks youtube ads because they're the worst.

Wouldn't this make your phone reboot all night while you're sleeping?

Are you going to tell him "no?"

The disadvantage seems to be that these transistors can only control very tiny currents. They currently lack enough ass to control much else.

Not familiar with this particular paper but transistors are good at acting as switches for higher powered loads so I wonder if these ultra tiny ones can be used to power on slightly less tiny versions which can handle larger circuits.

You ever feel like everyone in the world is taking crazy pills except for you?

Those numbers can be quite skewed considering their definition of a "farm" is one that generates as little as $1000 in revenue per year, so anyone with a few chickens in their suburban backyard that sells eggs to their coworkers would fall under this definition. They even outline that 80% of these small family farmers have full-time jobs outside of farming. They also claim giant companies are "family owned" simply because a few family members control a majority stake. One could call Walmart or News Corp "family owned businesses" using this same definition and claim Walmart is a tiny portion of the retail space because there are 500k individuals selling keychains on Etsy versus their single company.

Agricultural land isn't cheap either which is why most farms are owned by massive corporations these days. They've bought up most of the good growing land.

It's been the same in Oregon for years. The only reason why this crop was ever expensive and grown primarily indoors is that it was illegal and now with enough distance from illegality and enough competition, the price plummets. Your state may start implementing license and growing restrictions to counteract this as they've done here because the state loves their tax revenue and wouldn't want to jeopardize this cash cow.

They will with batteries since the EU is forcing the issue starting in 2026.

Literally the first line says the Biden Administration is giving them $825 million.

also suffered irreparable manufacturing defects. The new lineup is essentially more of the same.

This chip is manufactured by TSMC, so that'd be on them.
