i hate it.

Lol, what? More so than a firearm, that app is a tool. Scanners can be used to increase vigilance and engagement in a community, and to keep citizens informed about possibly very high stakes goings-on. In most places in the US, at least, it is your right to monitor any cleartext comms as long as you are not a convicted felon.

I’d say it’s pretty damn difficult for both. The VFD speed is dependent on the gradient, just like the duty cycle of a conventional AC is.

Conventional ACs don’t “operate at 100% all the time” either. The compressor is cycled by the thermostat. You cannot calculate consumption of either without knowing the temperature gradient between the conditioned and outside space.

I can’t stand the proselytizing powered by privilege on so many planes. Whether it’s cost, availability, or time, people have many reasons for being mUrDeReRs. Nobody likes being condescended over things that are barely in their control as it is.

Don’t you have anything better to do than be a tryhard online? You don’t sound as clever as you think you do, bud.

Free speech is merely an ill-defined right to speak without consequence from the government, not the right to a podium wherever you choose.

Actually, I have pirated on FreeBSD, for many years. I run all of those OSes in different roles at home every day. What are you trying to accuse me of? Not knowing what I am talking about? You’re the indignant chode who is asking for help in this forum. I have never done that. I know how to use google and answer my own questions.

Triggered indeed, mister indignant wall of text. I use a Mac too. And Linux, FreeBSD, Android, and even Windows. But using an iOS device to pirate is like using a wrench as a hammer. Maybe you can do it, but it’s not ideal.

Anyway, if you don’t like it here, there’s the door. Deuces.

Waah, the answer isn’t the one I wanted. Boo hoo hoo. I’m sure you’ve been pirating on iOS for 30 years and must know better.

Ever hear of Windows NT? Legacy DOS code was relegated to userspace long ago. And NT was designed by Dave Cutler, the guy who designed VMS and RSX-11. Most certainly not “shit piled on top of shit.” Unix could have learned a thing or two from Dave but by then it was too late; the plane had very much taken off.
