Processor architecture was always the same for console refreshes into cheaper slim models. It’s the massive slowdown of manufacturing improvements or nodes that is preventing price cuts. Processor architecture only affects new generations of consoles and premium versions like ps5 pro.

Spotify is a poor example since you need to pay royalties to the artists (can’t be free of cost). Operating systems, an office suite, Adobe replacements, game engines, CAD software and more could all in theory be FOSS-first

You have to convert the audio to a bluetooth compatible codec like LDAC instead of just using the audio file which is in a format like mp3 with a higher bitrate. Compressing the signal can make the audio sound worse. (I would say bluetooth makes it sound worse for most situations but by how much is somewhat of an opinion question)

That’s not the only condition for a recession, several indicators are used in determining if there is a recession. This was relevant recently in the US as GDP dropped for 2 consecutive quarters and no recession was declared.

It’s not hyped in the media, probably because it’s Chinese companies doing it, but there have been massive strides towards creating humanoid robotics in the past couple of years. They aren’t nearly to the point of being autonomous but there’s a simple humanoid robot that’s selling for 5900 today.

Maybe first-time home buyer programs? But those are like 3% typically so it wouldn’t get you there and that’s before including closing costs, moving costs, and possible repairs.

The evidence doesn’t match the narrative he constructed in his head, so it’s fake obviously.

Soap was invented a long time ago - 2800 BC and the Romans made quite a bit of it. However it used lye so you wouldn’t want to use it often.

The sanitation of Roman cities should have been pretty good by historical standards. Batthouses were common in the empire and people frequently visited them. Romans also had toilets with running water below them to take the waste away so in that regard they would have done much better than other societies.

The sewer system or lack thereof was the biggest sanitation issue for most historical cities. Back in the day it was difficult to create a sewer system since you need to minimize the slope at which the waste flows or else you have to do too much digging. Until Newton and Leibniz came around in the 1700s we didn’t have calculus so you couldn’t optimize a function mathematically and instead had to experimentally test it out. But, people didn’t test things the way we do today - the scientific method was only formalized relatively recently as well. So this was more difficult to invent that you might think, and the invention has been lost several times over history.

Then once you figure out the minimum angle you have to discover a technique to dig at that angle. The simplest is to take two sticks and insert them into the ground, then tie a string between them that lies right on the ground. Then you can put the sticks this anywhere to see how deep you need to dig.

Since you mentioned 1500-1800, I’ll mention that medieval London did NOT have a sewer system so people dumped their waste in the River Thames. Which is also where they got their drinking water.

According to the article, the over 200 Venezuelans sent to CECOT (252 total prisoners - you can find other articles that state all are Venezuelan) were transferred to Venezuela and some people incarcerated in Venezuela - 10 Americans and an unspecified number of political prisoners - were exchanged.

According to NILC, there were at least 280 people sent from the US to CECOT so not all people have been released.
