I think they’re trying to make a pun based on how the word “gentile” (which literally means not jewish) sounds very similar to “genital”.

If you are interested in really understanding wifi technology, the difference between the various versions, practical considerations, and cutting through all the marketing hype, I'd highly recommend reading this website.

Good question. This new material is technically a ceramic, not a metal, so I'd be inclined to say no. But we'd need more information on its electrical properties to say for sure.

I think you mean "price", not "prize"

Boy then are you going to hate QUALIFY

For photos, I have been using Immich, and have been very impressed. It has pretty much all the features I want (automatic backup, chronological timeline, mobile/web app, face tagging, semantic search, albums, sharing, etc). It's a server you self-host though, so setting it up might be a pain if you've never done something like that before.

Heh I get it

You have any sources for that? Never heard of this before; sounds interesting.

And a drop in costs too since their system has to support less users.

I agree, the solution is not as simple as optimizing resource allocation. The problem is both social and economic in nature. The owners of production don't just want money, they want power over others.

It's because people's wants have shifted as technology progresses. If everyone was satisfied to live like a medieval peasant and all we needed to produce was clean food/water we probably could have automated most of the agricultural work and done away with the need for the majority of labor.

But people today now want on-demand deliveries, entertainment, healthcare, telecommunications, international travel, etc. and they need to pay for these things somehow, which means work. These shifting desires continuously push the boundaries of what we are capable of producing which ends up redirecting labor rather than eliminating it.

Edit: thanks for the down votes everyone. I'm not saying this is the way it should be or that people should live like peasants, just explaining the basis of consumer/labor theory from economics 101. People typically get more utility out of the things they buy using their wages than they would from not working at all. Right now that's mostly because society would let you starve to death, but even if there was UBI or something like it, there would always be some people who would want to work in order to buy more things for themselves.
