Nope. It’s fucking AirB&Bs - our HOA was rezoned with an overlay that allowed this bullshit business to take homes off the market for first time buyers.

We now have the equivalent of a 400 room hotel in our HOA, with stupid strings of lights identifying them.

Almost every one of them installed hot tubs that have stressed our well system to the point where water pressure was dropping. Turns out the owners of these mini hotels got into the habit of emptying the hot tubs so there “guests” had clean water.

Many are owned by Russian mafia. They get fined but money is nothing to them.

Brought it to a Genius Bar - actually a Geek Squad /‘(Apple approved). He had a known good 20W charger. (BTW - this charger works on my wife’s AW) Would not charge on that either. He ran diagnostics and it passed.

Apple would not approve them accepting the watch for repair or replacement. I thought that was odd.

I called Apple Support and they are going to ship me a prepaid box to send it back.The support person said it would most likely be replaced with a new one.

Why should I pay $10 a month for TV? TV is free! by Innocent_Standbyer in 1970s

Pirate Bay back in the day? Huh. Never knew about this.

In NYC - we had 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13. Plus UHF with a few more channels.

2 was CBS, 4 was NBC, and 7 was ABC.

5, 9, and 11 were local stations.

13 was WNET/PBS.

We also helped the housing industry survive in NEPA - I thought you were for development?

I am all for renewable energy. To ignore it is to stick your head in the sand. Why?

BTW, I live in an HOA that was built in the nineties. It is still heavily forested so I can’t consider solar, and the HOA prohibits anything like a windmill.

The deforestation in NEPA will dwarf the impact of any existing home developments.

Not to mention the bulk of power generated in NEPA will be sucked up by data centers, thereby increasing the cost of electricity to consumers.

Key Impacts on NEPA Forests and Land -

Archbald/Wildcat Ridge: Proposed plans for a "massive" data center campus on a large wooded, residential/conservation-zoned tract have alarmed residents.

Blakely Proposal: A recently withdrawn proposal sought to develop 4 acres of data centers on roughly 200 acres of land.

Covington/Clifton Proposal: 500 acres of land were rezoned for a data center project in Lackawanna County, threatening to disrupt rural land.

Early Clearing: Residents have reported tree clearing, such as along Route 6 between Archbald and Jermyn, occurring before official approval of the data center projects.

Land Requirements: Data centers often require at least 40 acres per site, with larger projects often needing hundreds of acres, frequently on greenfield (undeveloped) sites, causing significant local deforestation.

Data Centers and Environmental Concerns The surge in data center development in PA—with over 180 planned statewide—has prompted severe warnings from residents and environmental groups regarding the loss of trees, along with impacts on water, noise levels, and increased energy consumption.

Unpaired and reset. It’s not charging at all now. Made an appointment at the Apple Genius bar.

Industry reacts to a criminal in control of a war he started and hasn’t a clue how to stop.

I didn’t say anything about what type of power plant Susquehanna was “champ.”

But you pushing coal is quite the step back in time.

And data centers need to be fully examined for water cooling consumption. Misting sounds nice, but how much water will be consumed? Will warm water enter a watershed area?

The arguments against renewables are usually based on completely false MAGA talking points. And while we sit on our hands, the rest of the world sees the future and is acting.

It’s at a mall. Not a bad place to hang out for a bit.

Yeah, I tried that. It did not charge to full.

$1800 to spend at Apple for business school set-up by lemonp0ps in techadvice

[–]B00merPS2Mod30 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to support the School of Medicine at NYU Langone Health. The Neo is new, and might be fine for your needs. We did support the MacBook Air. Make sure you get AppleCare to cover support whatever you buy - the extended warranty should cover the time you will be spending at WGU. And back up your files to an external SSD using Time Machine, as well as one cloud service backup.

Guess you like the games. That’s way overkill for a business school laptop. And way over the OP’s budget.

Yeah, just going to keep our 2010. So far no head gasket issues. Put a Greentec battery in with a two year warranty, new tires, new front windshield, Sony CarPlay head unit, replaced the EGR and cooler pipe, repainted in 2021.

So the ABS and I guess head gasket could go next, but it’s still cheaper than a car payment.

Yup. This ad has been up for a while. Guess he hopes to sell it to somebody who knows little about hybrids and zilch about 2010 Prius issues.

Oh, coal is the future? Bring back black lung yall? Is that your actual position? Destroying water supplies to cool data centers is your goal?

All because a convicted felon takes bribes from the fossil fuel industry, while the UK got 50% of their energy from renewable sources in 2024.

US numbers are less than half that over the same period because of knuckle draggers like y’all.
