  • Amazon won’t release Fire Sticks that support sideloading anymore

    Jump

  • What? Why does the ability to install software as an official feature mean the os/hardware supplier needs to support that install?

    Since when has windows and any PC manufacturer ever done this?

    Is Google responsible for any android app that is installed either through the play store or any other way?

    This idea that allowing us to install what we like increases the burden to the provider is complete rubbish. It's simply to lock them into exactly their infrastructure. So there's no FOSS or any other alternative that doesn't exactly follow their arbitrary rules.

  • I've not had one in years. I'm sure I read or heard something about them shining light through eggs now to see if they're double yolkers and then they separate them.

    Also possible I imagined that.....

  • Is it a langoustine?

    They're actually a small lobster rather than a shrimp. With the claws removed they look like a large shrimp rather than a small lobster.

  • Thanks a lot, AI: Hard drives are already sold out for the entire year, says Western Digital

    Jump

  • I've only got 3 at the mo. Western Digital, Crucial and Nvidia.

    Nvidia is mainly because of their price gouging and general fuck you to gaming.

  • Western Digital just gets added to the list of companies that won't get a penny from me. When they inevitably try and come back begging for sales from the consumer market.

  • Racist billionaire Jim Ratcliffe claims Britain is 'colonised' by migrants - Socialist Worker

    Jump

  • He's a proper wanker who has since "apologised for his choice of words".

    So not what he said or the meaning, just using the wrong words to say it. Standard meaningless apology whilst maintaining the same position.

  • Not gonna lie, I did a double take when driving past this sign

  • Whoop whoop Whitley bay in the house!

    The irony is there's now not really anywhere near there to get in the sea or the old lido. Just a rather meaningless sign on the outside of a park.

  • How privatization works

    Jump

  • Let's say Norway is a petrostate.

    The point is the UK could have done the same with their North Sea oil.

    They didn't. Just pissed the opportunity away letting all the money go into private hands.

  • YSK: Europe Can Wreak HAVOC On America Without Firing a Bullet.

    Jump

  • Ha ok to put mainly rather than maybe. A typo by me.

    Again you did say mainly. Apart from the section where you said it was only Norway and then that no EU governments owned US debt.

    Your post again.

    "Only Norway" which you then clarify isn't EU. Then a whole sentence that clearly says that EU governments don't own any US debt.

    Just can't admit that post was wrong huh.

  • YSK: Europe Can Wreak HAVOC On America Without Firing a Bullet.

    Jump

  • Again your own post. You do put a couple of maybes in there but then say the only exception is Norway and finish with a very unambiguous final sentence that EU governments do not own US government debt.

    It's not me that's trying to save face by bringing a load of maybes into it. You were wrong. EU governments do own US debt.

    Just the last two sentences again since you seem to be a bit thick

  • YSK: Europe Can Wreak HAVOC On America Without Firing a Bullet.

    Jump

  • It's the last line. Where they say it is owned by governments just not European ones. That's just wrong. They do own some of it. How much is up for debate but to say they don't is wrong.

    Also agree they probably won't do anything with it as using it as a lever will also damage global markets, increase the overall cost of debt and impact all the economies involved.

    However the world seems so fucking mental at the moment. So who's to say it won't happen.

    Also I do wonder if China might do it with theirs just because they can, to flex their muscles or as a big fuck you to the US.

  • Here we go your own post where you sat they weren't owned by European governments. Only Norway

  • YSK: Europe Can Wreak HAVOC On America Without Firing a Bullet.

  • Nope your turn to prove that none of this debt is owned by European governments.

    I've provided the most reputable source that says the debt is owned by governments and within their breakdown it says some of those countries are European.

    It doesn't provide a detailed breakdown of private Vs government for these countries but no where does it say that is debt is only privately owned in European nations.

    You need to prove that or stop talking nonsense.

    Although not technically part of the EU anymore the UK government has confirmed a number of times that it owns US debt. Other nations will certainly do this as well.

    Unless you can provide a source that says that no European governments own US debt you're just making things up.

  • YSK: Europe Can Wreak HAVOC On America Without Firing a Bullet.

    Jump

  • The section you've quoted that line from is only talking about privately owned US debt.

    As you can see from the actual beginning of the paragraph rather than picking out the words you like at the end.

    As I've already posted and mentioned right at the start of the pdf

    See where it says 44.2% are held by foreign governments. Governments.

    In the document from Congress.

    About their own national debt ownership breakdown.

    Then when we look at the country breakdown of ownership of this debt later on there are plenty of European nations in there.
