I use a voyage as well. Wish it had USB-C, because that's the only device I use regularly that still has micro USB.

Apart from that it's great, books won't get any better with an upgraded ereader.

So, like Lineage. I still rock my CyanogenMod

LineageOS is more distinctive

As a daily-driver?

> The EU mandates the 2FA method shows information about the purchase you're authenticating (timestamp, amount and cc used in my case), making unconnected dongles impossible to use.

There are unconnected photoTAN devices that support this. They have a camera that reads a QR code. Some European banks use this. E.g. Vasco digipass 770

Why are plasma displays being used? I would expect they would burn in rapidly.

Now I'm really curious if they're actually plasma.

Many of the stations were built long after LCDs became the norm (the first parts of the Thomson-East Coast Line [1] only opened in 2021), so it's likely mislabelling on the website's part.

it also could be one of those things where in this specific context or dialect of English, plasma was generalized away from the term strictly being a technology to a generic term for that general shape and form factor.

after all none of us have used floppies to save for over a decade or two at this point.

Yes, they were, back then. Back in the day when the North-South and East-West line were built (mid 80s) Conrac (today DATA MODUL) was really big in manufacturing plasma screens for airports, etc. in Germany. Pretty sure they are replaced with LCD today though.

Besides that, all those plasma screens running for >18 hours a day will be using a lot of energy, and generating a lot of heat that puts more demand on the air conditioning!

Replacing them with more modern screens would save a lot of power and money.

(I know a guy who still uses a ~20 year old plasma TV. It still looks great but it doubles as a heater in the winter time!)

I think Qdenga was approved in India very recently.

Isn't this a matter of regulation? I'm not sure about US, but in EU you have old houses/buildings that are protected. Sure, you can buy them, but you can't modify or destroy them (being cultural heritage).

Most old books aren't worth protecting, and the publishing industry destroys oodles of them as waste that no one wants.

There is a threshold how bad it can be. With airbnb they happen to exceed that threshold.

Their website is so bloated that I cannot use it on Firefox mobile. It simply did not load within 60 seconds.

Sorry, don't blame me for spending my money somewhere else.

Other sites are blocking VPN's as well. It's a contineous hassle of turning VPN on and off.

It feels like you are a third class citizen.

Thank you, from Vietnam.
