Wow, here in Colorado there’s well over 70 that match that description within 30 miles of me and up in the mountains there’s at least a few even in the more remote parts. There are definitely large swaths of Kansas that could use them. I wouldn’t trust a road trip to Dodge City for instance. Hopefully they spread them out in to those empty spots!

Just an FYI, but the PICO 4 is made by ByteDance which is the parent company of TikTok. Facebook is awful but I don’t trust TikTok either.
I use the newer “American Voice 2” for Siri. I don’t use Siri for a ton of things, but I do hear it a lot in the car when navigating with maps or doing other things with CarPlay.
This sounds like the MacRumors buyer's guide. It lists an advisory for whether to buy or not and gives time since product release as well as average time between releases.
Dark mode can be harder on the eyes and/or give headaches to people with astigmatism. It has to do with halation. White text on a black background is blurrier than black text on a white background. There’s a nice accessibility description here. I personally dislike dark mode for that very reason.
Just to add to this, there are also a lot of them that programmable, so as long as they’re pinned out to the correct HDMI standard, you can add arbitrary custom resolutions using something like CRU or an edid writer.
Magician: Apprentice was my first foray into fantasy and the subsequent series made me a huge fan of the whole genre. It’s definitely on my list to reread.
Each instance has a copy. There are a couple of ways to backfill information, but in general any communication that happens gets broadcast out to every instance that’s subscribed. If an instance is offline or otherwise unavailable (like it’s defederated), then that instance will not get that message and will be slightly out of sync. It’s this semi-sync nature that also makes it so that anything posted likely exists somewhere even after you delete because nothing guarantees that every instance will get the delete message.
Yes. Defederating - at least right now - only stops the communication (hangs up the phone). Any existing posts/comments will still be present.
If an instance is defederated with another instance that all content in and out is ignored after the point at which instances defederated. So, in this example, you might see old lemmygrad.ml posts in your lemmy.world instance. If you comment on one of those posts, only other lemmy.world users will see it, meanwhile none of the lemmygrad.ml users will see it. Likewise, none of comments/posts that have happened after the instance defederated will appear on lemmy.world.
It’s akin to having a conference call/speaker phone conversation. Everyone in your room can hear and speak. Likewise everyone in the other room can hear and chat too. When the call drops (defederates), each room can continue having conversations on what they were just talking about but neither room has any clue about the other’s conversations.
This exact combo of genres hit me like a truck within the past two months or so. I used to not care much for Jazz at all and now it’s been nothing but jazz and 80s inspired synth/vapor wave. I think it probably is for similar reasons. Hearing certain combinations of synth or certain jazzy combos really transports me back in time to specific eras of my child and young adulthood.
Just tossing my vote in for Keychron. I’ve poured more money into MechKeys than I care to admit and still use a Keychron q10 Alice daily at work. Being able to program fun/useful key combos and having full support for QMK and VIA is huge for their longevity. You can also branch out with new switches and key caps pretty easily.
