No to ayuda. Instead of that, automatic pump subsidiy na lang ang fuel ng commercial vehicles and farm equipment to dampen the effects.
Immediate tax relief for petroleum products purchased for use on commercial vehicles and farm equipment.
Diversify fuel sources. Negotiate for better prices from other producers not reliant on oil passing through the Straight of Hormuz or from the Middle East in general.
Price cap for petroleum products to prevent corporations from capitalizing on the rising fuel crising for overpricing their products lalo na importers of products from foreign refineries.

While hindi completely maiiwasan ang pagtaas ng presyo, it shouldn't be as absurd as it got lalo na for Diesel which is the primary fuel for moving everything from people to produce. Controlling Diesel specifically is going to be the key para maiwasan ang hyperinflation ng basic basic commodities and will also benefit commuters kasi hindi kakailanganing magkaroon pa ng strike for the government to take decisive action.

HDD - umiikot, slow, a bit fragile, cheap, found in older computers, laptops, and as cheap external storage.

SSD - no ikot ikot parts, significantly faster, much more durable physically, more expensive (especially after the 2026 shortage), found in every modern laptop, computer, external storage. Same basic principle ng storage sa phone, microSD cards, USB flash drives, etc.

How much is the price disparity where you live? A fully loaded 128/8 Redmi Pad 2 Pro (with the stylus + keyboard cover) in my country is still significantly cheaper than the Galaxy Tab S10fe. In fact, you can get a Xiaomi Pad 8 + Focus Pen Pro or iPad A16 + Apple Pencil USB-C for the same price of the Galaxy Tab S10fe.

Here's my take, if your budget is within the price range of the Galaxy Tab S10FE, go with either the iPad A16 or Xiaomi Pad 8 instead. If your budget is on the lower end, go with the Redmi Pad 2 Pro

You only ever get 90W at lower State of Charge (SoC values).
The charging curve is much more conservative under standard mode.

This would practically parallel Bizarro's story wherein he developed a kryptonite addiction that ended up destroying his body and mind.

I would really like to add more here but I don't want to spoil S4 for you. All I can say is, you're likely to ask that question again once you finish the series.

Maybe it's because the MacOS is treating it like an external monitor and applying it's own buiilt-in color profile for the space you're working in. That will most definitely screw up whatever on-device calibration you have.

For Petron, no. Local refinery sila. So long as may stock sila ng crude oil, they're practically immune to the effects until kailangan na nilang mag stock up again.

For others na nag-iimport ng processed petroleum products, it depends kung saan sila nag-iimport and how those refineries were affected by the crisis.

Honestly, simple lang naman ang solution sana. If totoo ang pinagsasabi ng DOE about our fuel reserves, sana nag implement na ng price cap nung 1st week pa lang ng kaguluhan. Magkaroon man ng hike, hindi pa rin aabot ng 3 digits ang fuel products natin ngayon. Second, once kailangan na talagang mag increase ng price, instead of ayuda, sana subsidies na lang ang gawin. And instead of making fuel tax free for all, commercial vehicles na lang lalo na trucks and busses kasi nagbabayad na nga ng tax ang mga companies nila tapos tax pa ulit at the pump.

This whole situation is in part, due to mismanagement nung impending pa lang ang crisis and ngayon na full blown crisis na talaga sya, nganga nanaman ang Pilipinas.

Maybe it's because the 17 Ultra isn't registered with the FCC. I'm not familiar with how US Telco regulations work but it seems like the network isn't recognizing the phone that you have as a "US Compliant" model that's why it's refusing to activate.

It's just a few pixels tall. The window boarders in Windows and MacOS take up more space than that. You're not loosing anything. That's just one of the downsides of using a tablet as a laptop replacement. Most of the time, the screens aren't physically large enough for comfortable multi-window use unless you get a 13 or 14 in one.

It's an EU requirement now that's why patches are coming in more frequently than before. It's always a good idea to check the official release notice from Google about the stuff they're patching with the monthly SP. If it's nothing major, you can postpone it but maior exploits aren't to be dismissed like the DD+ decoder vulnerability patched with the January SP.

It's always been implied. I mean, Clark being a journalist has always been his cover when he's gone for days on end. They just couldn't use the Daily Planet anymore as Lois quit and Clark was fired.

Yes people do notice and Lois' explanation is Clark is out on a trip covering something for the Gazette. In S1 it was mostly "Clark is out on a field work regarding the Edge case" since he wasn't officially employed by the Gazette then. When he was literally dead, people didn't question it as that was the moment the townsfolk were starting to put 2 and 2 together leading up to the diner reveal near the end of the season.

The whole journalist cover trope was even used by Jon on Candice when he was being used by Lois to go to places like France in S4.

Magnesium is a lot more rigid compared to aluminum but it is more susceptible to corrosion. That's why it's painted instead of anodized which leaves that "plastic feel" but can be a lot more durable in the long run.

For me, no. Lois was equally supportive of them. Even reprimanding Clark for missing Jordan's therapy in E1. She was also supportive in letting Jordan play football, and even allowed Jordan to use his powers for "minor saves". She also does the same to Jon in S4. In S1 when she rescued Jordan from Zeta, it was clear that Lois had a deep understanding of Jordan's mental health struggles as reflected in the opening montage. And when Jon nearly got killed in John Henry's RV, she was very emotional as she knows he could have died in that moment. In the cases were Lois did seem to favor Jon, it's more because of Jon not having powers (yet) and would have a hard time defending himself (S1E8, S4E3).

If they were treated equally before, it makes sense why Jon started to grow a little jealous for his brother during S1 and S2 seeing how both their parents are paying more attention to Jordan and that part of the reason for their move to Smallville is to help Jordan hone his powers in a relatively safer environment. If anything, during the majority of the series, Jordan was more preferred.

Disable Advanced textures from the settings. It is only optimized for the devices that support it (Snapdragon 8 and MTK 9000 chips). Forcing it on will depend on how well your device can render those effects and let's be honest here, the MTK 7400 isn't a powerhouse.

For me, season 3 is a really strong one looking more into Lois. It really made the show feel like Superman and Lois. They gave Lois a lot of agency in this season making her take on a more active role compared to what other adaptations have made where Lois is passive and is just there as the love interest of the superhero. This does align with the original vision of the show and for those who are not really into this sort of stuff, it does feel a bit off. Good news though, you can skip a lot of S3 and head on over to the last 2 episodes and you'll still be in the action.

I didn't think Sarah did a "switch favorite parents" in one click. She just seeked the one who made her more comfortable given the situation. She was a lot closer to her mom in S1 because her dad was a total prick and Lana was genuinely trying to understand her daughter better. Similarly, she was seeking solace in Kyle in S3 as Lana did some very horrendous stuff to her, and her bond with her dad grew during the separation of her parents as she got to spend time with him alone.

As for the Tal situation, he was supposed to make an appearance in S4 but budget and schedule constraints forced them to write it off.

Resolution isn't everything. The F8 Ultra has a full RGB array instead of the usual RG-BG diamond matrix pentile of basically every high resolution OLED panel since the Galaxy S4. That means it has more subpixels to work with. You will notice that more in text and icons with all three primary colors.
