Just get the electron to ask him next time it goes back in time, duh

Yeah and if it were some mundane claim it would probably get away with it. But its always something outlandish like say being able to perform fully automated blood tests with a single drop of blood.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket again, that's what makes degoogling such a difficult thing. There's several proton services I intentionally avoid and use alternatives for so I don't have to uproot my entire digital life to leave them if they start being shitty. If you go from using all google services to all proton you're setting yourself up to need the same sort of big migration down the road. 15 years ago google was also an awesome company that kept making incredibly useful things for users just because they could and look at them now.

Does that matter prop wise? I'd say I have above average knowledge of star wars lore and I have absolutely no idea how to visually tell the difference between say the old republic era and the most recent trilogy. The only thing I can think of that reliably identifies a time period in star wars in terms of visual design is storm trooper helmets.

Do people think these Star Wars sets just exist already or something?

Yeah i do. After the new movies, several tv shows, and the galaxys edge theme parks they have a decade plus of star wars specific production infrastructure to draw on. They're not starting from scratch on this show.

Neither. I just forget things, like a cool person

Yeah man, that's the point of the article. Its asking the question "should everyone who isnt using them already move to them". Its not saying everyone already does.

They do. Its much more than a built in vpn, they also have specialized, hardened versions of communications apps on them. The weakest link in cybersecurity is usually the end user.

I had to switch back to an x11 session because a lot of stuff is broken in Wayland for me. I was having a lot of flickering in slack and odd mouse issues in games.

A big part of why the tesla plug was chosen as the north american standard plug is the lack of infrastructure upgrades needed. Apparently it uses exactly 1 phase of a commercial electric line so it needs far less infrastructure to add charging if there is commercial electric already. For example they'd be able to install just an outlet on every streetlight.

I have read he takes the training pretty seriously and isn't bad. Not a pro by any measure, but a competent amateur.
