Maybe I just tried to early, before they mainlined the 42 line. I'm on kinoite not silverblue, which might also be relevant.

Upgrading 41->42 for silverblue requires a branch change. An upgrade won't do it.

Has anybody tried the HA voice hardware. Not sure how it works (does it use a cloud AI?)

Rpm-ostree rebase switches branch, instead of pulling the latest build from the branch.

It's just such an asinine way to go down.

When you've lost the Aussie travelers, you know yer in trouble. Who will keep the ski and surf towns running?

Wo', propa' facked? Yes Tommee, Propa' facked

I blame these f'ing phone keyboards and autocorrect. I can't see what I am touching, I can't feel it, there's no feedback, and I have to look up while I type. Whoever came up with approach deserves... A bad case of indigestion.

Tariffs have doubled the cost of red-lines, as they were sourced in S. E. Asia, processed in a small barely-know penguin island, and packaged in Denmark.

There is also a place to politely challenge others, especially when you see more out on a long (touchy) expressions.

I describing myself there on that limb as well of course. I've found myself well challenged several times on a limb.

For this number, is it related to the Chinese government GDP numbers, or independently measured? My understanding is that the CCP use GDP differently that the West, in that they release numbers which are prescriptive estimates and goals, as opposed to statistical results.

I'm also enjoying participating in forums I would never touch in any other medium. I find the people that I disagree with have much better points, with significantly fewer radicals, idiots or crusaders.

If I was Germany, Poland or Japan, I would probavly let the Amer cans run their bases as their power dwindles, unless there is a domestic threat. It gives you more time to build native defenses, avoids any unnecessary political conflict, and keeps the active threat to enemies.

It's not an at American influence, come on now.

You have The Chinese telling all of their neighbors in the S.C. sea that they own it, trying push the Philippines back, trying to push the Vietnamese back.

Also, the US Navy is no joke, don't play. The Chinese armed forces could likely beat the US Asian fleet, but it would be costly - nowhere nearly "easy". Primarily the Chinese advantage is volume of material and simpler supply lines. The tech is near equal, with the Chinese being on newer airframes, but the Americans having significantly more proven tech and procedures, especially in the Navy. Taking on the Amer cans would not be like using water cannons on the Philippines boats, or hatchets in the Himilayas.

I was wondering about support/repair from Chinese cars, as I started seeing BYD ads around.

I don't see coops working in California, but I would love to be wrong.

The only reason I payfor Netflix is to keep my kid off of YouTube. YT is garbage for kids; dangerous even.

I see the tide as being more about two egos splashing in a pool.

Yes, the US economy is very unstable, but the Chinese and American economies are intertwined and interdependent. The current conflict in a not a zero-sum cads game - both will lose. Trump is a petulant child, but the Chinese are driven by a need to be seen as stronger and smarter (face is very important to Xi.) The Chinese have opportunity to rewire their trade, but it is not something that changes over night. They have a lot of prejudice to get past - and other economies are concerned about the impact of depending on the Chinese.

This is up there with "the Libya model"

I don't know that they want to deny others a right that they want to allow themselves. I think they want to deny others a right that they want to deny everyone, even themselves.
