According to the FBI, around 51% of murders in 2021 were solved. So this is just a bit lower than the federal numbers. The number doesn’t shock me, I think solving a murder is very hard and technology can only offer so much more info. Proving murder beyond a doubt is also very difficult, like OJ. We all know he killed his ex wife and her boyfriend, but prosecutors couldn’t prove he did it within the court context. An “unsolved” murder that has a solution.
When you are poor, getting money from the government comes with many rules and restrictions. When you are a poor company, getting money from the government comes with zero rules and restrictions.
Texas got the PR for having funded therapy for their prisoners without actually having to help people. The for-profit prison got to make a ton of extra money for their c suite staff and it’s totally fine because they said so.
The best thing about Windows is that if there is something you want to do, either there is a detailed guide online for the specific issue or someone went a step further and created a simple tool to accomplish that task. Windows is stable/reliable/accessible.
To run Linux it would need to be just as easy to install, be as compatible with games as Windows, and not have to involve deep dives into Linux user forums to accomplish basic stuff.
With the main intention of Linux, outside of just not supporting Apple or Microsoft, is to be able to customize your OS experience. I don’t have time/patience/desire to do that. I want my computer to be there ready to open a game launcher and launch that game without issue. That is true about Windows 99.8% of the time, I have not had that same experience with Linux.
Who represents the “real” conservatives/Republicans? It would seem any state with Republican control is aiming for similar anti-immigration policies. If everyone is doing it, then it becomes the standard. If nobody from the party can speak out against it, it becomes the standard. When the conservative majority Supreme Court instills conservative policy despite public opposition, it becomes the standard.
How would shipping immigrants across state borders unannounced ever be a way to help people? And it has been many buses, are we forgetting the last few years of Florida sending people to progressive states? It might be publicity stunts, but hundreds of people getting shipped around the country based on false information and left sitting out to dry only says “conservatives think immigrants are less than human and can be shipped around like cattle”
There are people that like new things, there are people who prefer older things. I am willing to spend money on a new phone every 2 years because it is my main computing device. I, also, don’t miss a lot of things of older phones. I never used as SD card, I never replaced a battery, and I haven’t used wired headphones in a decade.
I like my iPhone 14, the LiDAR gives me a ton of cool applications, the camera takes the best photos I’ve ever taken before, it will be kept updated for the next 5 years and the always-on screen is very useful for unlock-free info.
If you trade-in a fairly new phone, you can heavily discount a new phone purchase as well. It’s more like leasing a car vs owning a car. Pay for the time you use the phone, return it while it still has value in the 2nd hand market and get a fresh phone.
On the other hand, my brother sticks his phone in his pocket all day and doesn’t look at it at home. He bought an iPhone SE a few years ago and it just works. He would argue buying a new phone is silly as well. But we use our phones very differently and so our purchase habits will be different.
A big reason I use credit cards for payments is the protection I get when things go wrong. Charge up my card and I can dispute, charge up my bank account and I’m out that money until the bank resolves the issue.
This isn’t a scam message. I received the same message a few days ago, different date due to billing cycle differences. This is the same thread that confirms my automatic payment has been received.
Apollo really held on for dear life. Worked until sometime this afternoon.
I tried Reddit on the browser but it just doesn’t work like I want it to on my phone. There are many people who don’t know a different version of Reddit than their terrible app and site. It will continue but not with me.
You can try cleaning around the button. Make sure it isn’t being triggered by some crusty sweat/grime. You could also change the behavior of your laptop, in the windows power settings you can change what that button does or how the laptop reacts when being closed. If both are set to do nothing, you would have to specifically turn off/sleep your computer but wouldn’t get any false sleep.
