No need to pretend Marvel movies stopped being money generators. Newest Deadpool & Wolverine generated worldwide 1.3B USD, ranking it 21st top grossing movie of all time. Domestic 633M USD, China 60M USD. It's 7th highest grossing MCU movie.
It was clearly a joke, I agreed with your comment :)
While it sounds ridiculous, there is a reasoning for this even nowadays:
Any periodic activity with a rate faster than one minute incurs the scrutiny of the Windows performance team, because periodic activity prevents the CPU from entering a low-power state. Updating the seconds in the taskbar clock is not essential to the user interface, unlike telling the user where their typing is going to go, or making sure a video plays smoothly. And the recommendation is that inessential periodic timers have a minimum period of one minute, and they should enable timer coalescing to minimize system wake-ups.
Found 1 test that seems to confirm battery life is slightly worse (2%) with seconds enabled. But this is true only when nothing is going on on screen. If you would actually work on PC, I imagine difference would be practically nonexistent.
All that said, I use seconds on my private and work PC. Was pissed when MS initially removed this as an option.
Some people think there is this magical thing called canon. If something is canon and you heavily dislike it, it messes up your enjoyment for whole franchise and you no longer can enjoy previous entries that you grew up with.
I didn't like it. You want to tell me that my opinion differs from majority and most people like this trash? Preposterous.
They think ads are just the normal price you pay for surfing the web.
Which is great, offsets us who do use adblocks. It would be awful if majority of users would use adblocks.
How the fuck does India screw up more compare to China?
Here is some random analysis if it bothers you that much.
India’s less favorable health profile compared to China is largely attributable to its higher rates of mortality from communicable diseases and maternal and perinatal conditions. Further health gains can be achieved by reducing social inequality, greater investments in human development and health services, and by prevention and control of chronic-disease risks such as hypertension, smoking, obesity, and physical inactivity.
Also, When did I say it was unparalleled?
Reply where I said ″unparalleled″ was against original post and poster′s later comment, no idea how did you conclude I quoted you.
My point was that life expectancy generally increased throughout the world while this post makes it seem Mao′s regime did a one of a kind miracle. Here are 3 countries with even more impressive change.
Soft bricked VS Hard bricked. Agree that it would be nicer to be more precise in headline, but both are technically under Bricked category.
Regarding TOTP tokens, some time ago switched to Aegis app which allows token export in JSON which I store in Dropbox. I believe only thing that I would lose would be last photos that I have not backed up yet. And past Signal conversations which sometimes come useful.
But for regular folks losing access to phone indeed seems like nightmare scenario for 2FA. I think MS Authenticatior backed tokens to your OneDrive if you enabled it in settings. Often these less secure options are good tradeoff for usability.
Practically all my previous phones were either lost or stolen so it will be inevitable some day. Almost lost my current one year ago due to being drunk, luckily got it back.
