I keep seeing people whinge about disks, but I dont see the benefit. Most people dont even have the hardware to read a disk...

How is this any different from downloading a file off the internet? Maybe its fun to juggle a bunch of disks?

Right I should also add I'm mostly talking about PC here.

I think thats a pretty simple answer; when was the last time you interacted with a 4th dimensional object be it representation or not? For the most part I think people base their perception of reality on their experience and so if you have never interacted with something, how could you imagin it?

Reminds me of this youtube video I saw some time ago of someone that posed the question of what would minecraft be like if it was in non-euclidean space. The author said it took some time to get used to it and when they tried to play normal minecraft it gave them motion sickness.

If you have no knowledge of what a car is or its internals are like, could you still imagin what's inside?

A phased array is an antenna composed of multiple smaller antennas within the same plane that can constructively/destructively aim its radio beam within any direction it is facing. I'm no radio engineer but I think it works via an interference pattern being strongest in the direction you want the beam aimed. This is mostly used in radar arrays though I suppose it could work with light too since it is also a wave.

All your base is in no way comparable to skibidi and is simply a parody making fun of how bad Japanese are at English.

Less then 99% means not having a working fridge for 3-12 hours or more in 30c heat so there went all your perishable foods. It means no lights in the house will work. No cooling or heating of any kind. No computers. No phone. None of your other random applicances will work either. None of the stuff you use to navigate a city like street lights will be working. Of course it can be mitigate with a generator or an expensive battery bank with solar panels provided you don't have a large enough load. Of course solar panels only work during the day so if the outage lasted into the night then you better hope to have a large enough bank to power all your essential equipment.

Suffice to say, less then 99% available is pretty terrible. You should come down and talk to a South African.

The reason for building this is likely similar to why those ultra-thin buildings get built in new york. I don't know all the reasons, but there is a lot of one-upmanship with these ultra-ultra rich people that don't know what to do with all their money.

But you don't even need to use a link! You could just convert and send the image as base64 or you could compress and encrypt it with 7z. I am sure there are many other methods. How accessible that would be on a phone though is another story, but I dont think it would be that hard.

Duplicate? This was already posted 12 hours ago, though not the same link.

All the discussion seems to be here:

Wow, I had no idea it was this bad. I am not really suprised the lengths American spying goes though. Glad not to be living in New York.

I wonder how it compares to China and if facial recognition tech is as pervasive in America as it is in China.
