That’d mostly a US thing I believe, ain’t no bank here leaving money on the table just because you paid using a credit card. Still gotta pay it back or pay interest.

Longest it’s taken has been 5 minutes for me. I’d be furious if it took a day, even an hour.
Most cars don’t show that. Here’s the fuel gauge from my backup car since my other car is in the middle of repairs

Not only do you have to know the size of the tank, you also have to account for fuel tank math being different from regular math. The needle isn’t linear. E.g in a lot of cars it doesn’t start dropping until you’re down at least like 5 liters. That’s because people start whining about fuel consumption otherwise (“I just filled up and it’s already dropping”) and similarly the last half or quarter seems to be bigger in some cars. Middle bit is worth the least.
I don’t think I’ve seen a car that actually shows the liters. Maybe once or twice. I’ve owned like 10 or 15 cars and driven many more.
In Estonia two chains make you choose at the pump if you’re paying inside after pumping or on the machine before. One switches over automatically when the shop part closes and doesn’t even let you choose when it’s open. Others are pay-first.
And nobody needs to see you here, they have cctv anyway
What I mean is that majority of the time people here are pro copyright infringement and against copyright laws
Funny seeing people on lemmy suddenly defending copyright now lol

But why does it need updates if it works? Just don’t connect it to the Internet and you can run it until either it dies or you die.

Isn’t that just Rocky configuring the kernel that way? You’re free to compile your own kernel and it’ll still support even old pentiums, just not i486 in new versions

Other AI companies can still buy them, they’re just rare because nobody bought them in the first place. They destroy them because scanning them is faster and in some jurisdictions that absolves you from copyright infringement since the amount of copies doesn’t go up

The URL they posted has the same title as the post here so it’s the source that changed their title after the fact.

There are also flights where this could be used as fully electric right now, or very soon if they increase range a bit. If you fly from Tallinn to anywhere via Finnair, you go through Helsinki, that’s like a 30 minute flight. And the reason you don’t just drive to Helsinki is that you’d have to take the ferry which costs more money, takes over an hour and the Helsinki airport isn’t that close to the port.
Similarly, you can fly from Tallinn to the two bigger islands here in Estonia, very short flights versus like a 3 or 4 hour bus ride involving a ferry. 30 and 40 minute flights with the current 30-40 person planes that company uses.
T is actually short for 1000 KG not 2000 units of British currency.
Yes, carbs are great if you love working on cars. A factory fuel injection system these days (anything newer than the old Jetronic pieces of shit) is pretty much set it and forget it, plus if you do have a bad sensor or something, it’ll usually tell you (by live data reading if not DTC). Way easier to maintain than carburetors.

It’s been Chromium based for ages now. Meaning they’ll likely eventually stop supporting manifest V2 too, unless Google makes it easy for them to keep supporting it.
I like openkuse more. In Estonian, kuse is either imperative form of the verb to pee, or the possessive case of the noun.
Though admittedly I used OpenKuse and it was super reliable for me.
Thing is, giant mansions existed in the 19th century too. They would’ve already been affecting the average home size in the 20th century.
The growth AFAIK is largely driven by the suburban mcmansions, which aren’t necessarily a 1% thing.
Well only central banks can create it out of thin air. Normal banks lend other people’s money (fractional reserve banking)
That would be the difference between a permissioned ledger vs a decentralised cryptocurrency. Pretty hard(not impossible) to turn off someone’s bitcoin, but depending on the design, the state backed crypto might be very easy… Or not.
