I use an M3 Macbook Pro at work. At home I have an Ubuntu desktop machine and a Lenovo Win11 laptop. I use the Windows machine once a year, to run Turbo Tax, though I boot it up occasionally to keep it updated.

A drone capable of carrying either of those payloads for 200 miles and returning to base would be at least as large as a small general aviation aircraft. Then there's the fact that an being able to change out an oil pump would be completely impossible for probably over 90% of the population. Better just to call for a tow truck and settle down to wait for half the day.

Anyone know how Walmart gets around the FAA requirement for visual line of sight operation for drone flights?

The stated range for drone delivery is "up to six miles from the store". So this isn't happening in the middle of nowhere.

Anything that reminds me of Vista is pretty much the opposite of delightful. Offensive and repulsive would be more apt.

If you like that, you'll love this.

you appear to be "just saying" that you believe the OP was referring to an actual, electrified edible fruit. You're welcome to your opinion, but I'm not buying it.

No, you don't understand. Karoline Leavitt announced in a press conference that the errors in the report were caused by "formatting errors". That will undoubtedly sound reasonably to the people who routinely swallow the crap she's always spewing.

I really wonder who still needs disposable cameras in a physical shop.

It's very common to find a pile of disposable cameras at any wedding. Guests use them and leave them for the happy couple to develop.

Actually, Koday makes a fairly wide range of digital cameras, including one (PIXPRO Astro Zoom AZ901-BK) with a 20 mp sensor and a 22mm - 1980mm (35mm full frame equivalent) zoom range. I was surprised to find this - apparently they do a crappy job of marketing.

It's also an attack on every working stiff with a 401k or IRA account. So when you say "F your stock portfolio" you're also saying "F you for planning for your retirement."

I've found that people who call you a sheep for accepting the thousands of years of scientific inquiry behind a particular subject (e.g. the shape of the planet we live on) do indeed perform their own research. The problem is twofold: (1) a general denial of and disbelief in valid authoritative information, which they label "indoctrination"; and (2) the source of their research material, which is generally other idiots posting on YouTube and TikTok. And for lots of them, you can throw in a generous dose of wacky Christian fundamentalist beliefs.

You think an iPhone has a lot of screws? Try removing the main board from a late-model Macbook Pro.

It turns out that ITAR regulations do indeed consider theft and export to a foreign entity of controlled material, an export license violation. However, the EXPORTER is the entity guilty of the violation. I suppose you could make a case for the recipient of the illegal export being guilty of an export violation if transfer the material to someone else, but at that point the guilty party isn't under US jurisdiction, so the likelihood of enforcement seems rather low. If that transfer is to an entity in the US, the recipient is not in violation unless they transfer the material to another foreign entity. If it's transferred domestically, it's not an export.

The Administration's position on this is baffling.
