What has changed? On my Google Maps it shows as: Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America).

I'm located south of the equator.

It only shows Gulf of America if you’re in the US. It should, according to this policy, show both no matter where you are.

Well technically it also says that in Japan they only display "Sea of Japan" in the local language (Japanese), so displaying just "Gulf of America" in the local language follows. This blog never expected that the USA would be involved in this kind of dispute.

No because americans actually commonly call it the Gulf of Mexico (despite US government fiat dictating it should be called the Super Intelligent Gulf and anyone against that being double plus ungood), Japanese people don't commonly call it the East Sea. That's the difference.

Google Maps shows Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America) to Canadians - it does properly label Lake Ontario, though. The idiocy isn't limited just to the US.

This isn't the current policy

I'm in Germany, it shows me the real name, and the clownshow name. It does the same for Lake Ontario.

When I VPN to other countries, it does the same.

Not sure where you got your wisdom from.

It would be interesting to know what ThinkPad model it was. The older ones had pretty small trackpads so they were difficult to reach.

On Macbooks the trackpad is so large that you can reach it even from the sides of the laptop and the two finger scrolling actually works without second thought.

I had the Thinkpad T480 with a touchscreen. Thinkpads were really awesome, you could easily fix that thing by buying parts from eBay.

Probably a yoga by the sounds of it

What phone is that? I thought they all had variable refresh rate nowadays.

If you mean LTPO, most in fact don't have it.

It's also extremely short-sighted, a working exploit could be published at any time. The PoC was confirmed by the PHP developers so this is only a question of time.

And what do you do then? Walk around the block? Flip a coin?

But how do they do it technically? Some countries require anti-islanding devices for grid connected solar, these are around $1000. That alone is much more expensive than the $300 plug in panels.

The inverter can sniff the grid power at frequent intervals to determine its voltage and phase.

It outputs at the same phase and frequency as the grid, and with a slightly higher voltage (think of a ball rolling down a slope from a higher voltage to lower voltage).

If the grid is down then it stops the inverter for a minimum safety period (some minutes iirc)

Check the pictures, this doesn't look like a house to me. 2 levels of workshop areas and an office area. Also the swimming pool is in the front yard, thats a weird one.

That could be caused by EU regulation because they have to meet fleet emission standards. Pretty much the only way to get there is to sell some EVs.

You don't need an EV charger. I charge my car from a normal wall socket over night, limited to 12A. That gives me 60 miles of range over night.

> You might want to read Apple human interface guidelines for what those buttons actually do.

Almost every app on MacOS does whatever they want with the minimize and close buttons. They are completely useless to me, you never know what will happen. And this isn't a recent problem, the way multiple windows are treated as one app is just unintuitive.

It's gotten worse over the years. I wish developers did better.

It's largely the same on Linux and Windows as far as I know, or do you mean just as far as the traffic light buttons are concerned?

On Windows its not the same.

- MDI applications, for example old Photoshop and old Excel, can have multiple child windows inside of a single window. If you close the main window with the X button then everything closes.

- If you start multiple instances of an application you'll see multiple instances in the taskbar. On MacOS this is not really the intended way, you are supposed to have multiple windows. Afaik you can only launch multiple instances from the command line.

On Windows there are apps that minimize to tray instead of closing. I'd say that this is a similar problem but its a bit better than Slack on MacOS that just minimizes to Dock when you click the X button.

You can do the same on MacOS?

Are there any MacOS programs that don't allow you to have multiple windows of the app open, thus not giving you the equivalent experience? (cf. Firefox will let me have two browser windows open. I don't need two separate instances for it to act as though it were). I've never had this issue before, but that might just be me.

There are apps like that on MacOS too. I don't think that's really the intended way to do things, and what Slack does sounds even worse than that, but that's a Slack problem, not a MacOS problem.

I don't think that nuclear projects of any size could pass current environmental impact assessments.

Only a severe energy shortage could motivate politicians enough to temporarily skip these, like they did for the LNG terminals. But you can't build a nuclear power plant of any size within a single legislative period so its just not going to happen.
