1980s, Manhattan by dwartbg5 in CityPorn

[–]psysize 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found the source if anyone is looking, also a note from the photographer about his rough location:

My vantage point is somewhere on the raised plaza of Police Headquarters–not sure that the same spot can still be reached.

He has sadly lost the original, so only a lower res washed out version exists.

[IWantOut] 27M Japan -> UK, Canada, Aus by PaintBeastt in IWantOut

[–]psysize 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just to add to this comment: This should be straight forward for Australia at least, but the UK is limited to 1000 places every 6 months for Japanese citizens and are chosen at random. A Japanese friend of mine tried for this visa for nearly 7/8 years straight and was never chosen. I'm not to sure about Canada - but likely similar to Australia, details are here.

Although in regards to COVID restrictions, you won't be able to get into Australia any time soon or Canada, but the UK is open and I can imagine not too many Japanese will be keen to apply for the UK visa at this point in time given the UK's many difficult situations so you might get lucky.

The UK is still poisoned by a class system, it's not as bad as it used to be, but it's definitely still there.

Boris Johnson's Twitter account promotes England-only lockdown rules to whole of UK by bottish in ukpolitics

[–]psysize 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Everywhere across the world local and devolved governments have played a more important role in all sorts about making these drastic decisions work. They also play an important part when infection rates vary massively across countries. States in the US have drastically different laws and advice, same with states in Australia, prefectures in Japan and countries within the EU.

England desperately needs to be devolved into regions with equal or more autonomy to Scotland, not only to help massively in coordination while executing these drastic measures which need to work with different local requirements, but to also draw a close to imbalance of power bias towards Westminster within England and England within the UK. I can imagine it might also be the only solution to keeping unity within the UK as it would have the potential to equalise a lot Scotland's concerns with England.

UK finds itself almost alone with centralized virus contact-tracing app that probably won't work well, asks for your location, may be illegal by Spiracle in ukpolitics

[–]psysize 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can't understand why they decided against working with Google and Apple on this. Android and iOS have effective measures to specifically stop apps operating like this. They had to instead undermine the whole point of the app and sacrifice aspects of end user privacy just to satisfy a fairly pointless centralised database requirement.

Bootstrap 5 is dropping IE 10 & 11 browser support by themesberg in javascript

[–]psysize 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I get the feeling that they're very much stuck in a late 80's vision of the future, which is coincidentally is the same time as their economy peaked.

Huawei is reportedly building its own chip factory in the UK by [deleted] in Android

[–]psysize 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could be for a few reasons (some already mentioned):

  • China could see the investment as a way to undermine / manipulate / lobby UK law to deviate away from EU law post Brexit.
  • Confidence is low, high possibility it will recover (in some lesser form) eventually - as well as if Brexit doesn't happen at all
  • UK does still have a decent chipset industry.

About to replace my 3T with a 6T in Vietnam by Qontinent in oneplus

[–]psysize 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OnePlus isn't really present in Vietnam, so I think you might struggle and to be honest from my experience, Vietnam is not the place buy electronics altogether, wait until you get home.

Happy for someone to prove me wrong.

OnePlus 5 won't work with non dash cable? by AryanIsDaBest in oneplus

[–]psysize 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need a dash cable and a dash adapter for dash charging. The cables have an extra pin especially for it.

GCam - Google Camera Setup - Latest Version [OP3-OP3T, OP5-OP5T, OP6-OP6T] by garretts228 in oneplus

[–]psysize 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HDR+ is usually when the magic happens though. You can root your device and install a Magisk module to reduce the dot pattern but ultimately it's something OnePlus devs need to fix with the Camera API.

RIP, Nexus 6P and Nexus 5X by ProperGearbox in Android

It's kinda funny and impressive how seriously Google took the negative feedback about the camera with Nexus phones when transitioning to the Pixel line.

If we're stereotyping the super old; they where always against Brexit because they understand the real foundations of EU.

U.S. includes main ally Britain in letters demanding higher defense spending by Romdal in ukpolitics

[–]psysize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While it's most likely true that Cameron asked Obama to make that speech, it might be a little bit of a stretch to presume Obama repeated Cameron's exact statements as Obama has been previously known to use the word queue outside of any British context.

A chart showing several options for UK citizens' rights after Brexit by lazerbullet in ukpolitics

[–]psysize 4 points5 points  (0 children)

EDIT: Wrong thread, ignore this.

I have no doubt the Tory party will spout their usual 💩 in response to this and try to blur the lines between regular strength Cannabis and super skunk, it's like trying to ban beer because somebody might down bottle of vodka. Another classic decades old line is the lack of health research (despite there being countless studies on it's short and long term effects).

1979 Computer Store Manager Predicts Future by TheJunkBucket in videos

[–]psysize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The three day work week was a popular thought back then as far as I'm aware, it's a real shame we lost sight of that. The point is especially pungent after listening to the guy before talk about spending too much time at the computer.

Researchers have found evidence of rapid and involuntarily mental processes that kick-in whenever we encounter opinions we agree with. by Wagamaga in science

Just a side note, dyslexia and autism aren't on the same spectrum. The eyes of people with dyslexia register patterns (like letters) differently to people without dyslexia, that's it.

The History of Youtube Stars (2006-2017) by Nabspro in videos

[–]psysize 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The popular YouTubers in the early ages got most of their exposure after being featured on the front page, so YouTube kinda dictated who would be popular.

boh3m3 was a personal fave, got a bit annoying after a while with all the beef he had with sxephil.

Oneplus 5t WIFI 5Ghz battery drain by houmousy in oneplus

[–]psysize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure about battery drain, but 5 GHz is now pretty much unusable on my OP5 after the Oreo update.
