My 50" 1080p LCD draws over 200w…

Oh yeah, and the whole cuda framework too? No?

Cool.

What about it is clickbait? That title is really upfront about signal’s encryption being fine.

I mean, it’s obviously the price that pushed Android to where it is today.

The fact is, you can buy some models of Android phones (new) for under $75. This makes smart phones affordable even in developing countries. That fact has sent the number of smart phones in people’s hands through the roof. And honestly, part of what makes them cheap to manufacture is in fact that FLOSS base, allowing any company to develop one.

In my experience, as you increase the quality level of a jpeg, the compression level drops significantly, much more than with some other formats, notably PNG. I’d be curious to see comparisons with png and gif. I wouldn’t be surprised if the new jpeg compresses better at some resolutions, but not all, or with only some kind of images.

To be able to force a surrender, you’re asking this drone to do a whole lot…

It needs to be large enough to carry tank killing munitions, and it needs to be either fast, tough or stealthy enough to survive to make it into close range, then it also needs an antipersonnel weapon to prevent it from simply being shot down once it’s in close range, and finally it needs loud speakers that can be used to actually make surrender orders. (Adding speakers may sound trivial, but it’s an additional system that draws power and adds weight and volume, both of which are at a premium with aircraft of any kind). Oh, it also needs to be able to sustain a very long flight time, because it needs to hover there in place until troops arrive to escort the captured soldiers… (Which could take a while in a warzone)

At this point, you’re talking about a $20 million drone that requires at least two people to operate.

And forget warships, you can’t force a warship to surrender with a drone any more than you can with a missile.

Oh, I like that one! Direct and to the point.

Hey, since when is it bad to want to kill Nazis? Last I heard that was generally encouraged. It’s the whole moral foundation that the first person shooter genre was based on.
