I’m not hating on km… I’m hating on listing one distance in miles then the next one in km. I don’t care which system they used, I care that the two numbers we are supposed to compare are in different units. :(

I guess it depends on how “standard” is defined. Ie, its pretty standard for shirts to have 2 arm holes, one head/neck hole, and one body hole and therefore they work for the vast majority of users.

Why oh why did you change from miles to km? :(

So are we committing fraud if we turn on Spotify and leave it playing in an empty, sound-proof room??

That contractual agreement has nothing to do with the user or artist, its between advertisers and the platform. That can’t be what they got this guy for.

Same. Parts designed in freecad take me about 10 times longer and have about 1/4 of the “polish” and nice finishing touches compared to the ones I’ve done in fusion.

3d printing and even designing my own basic parts/items. Seems daunting as all hell to get right but honestly it wasn’t that bad to figure out. Fusion360 was a dream to learn. I’ve been trying to make the switch to freecad and struggling though. :(

Well god damn it, you got me. Lol

Here here. And I know some modern word processors already put a slightly larger space after a sentence, but it isn’t two full spaces and that mostly only happens in non-monospace fonts where a space character is barely a gap to start with. Two full spaces after every sentence. Yes even in SMS where there is a character limit. If I can’t fit what I want to say properly then I’m not saying it and these damn kids can rot in their unintelligible run-on looking dribble.

Yes. Unfortunately. “a virus? How did I get that? What’s an anti-virus? You must be wrong, I just do a little bit of web browsing and downloading music.” (this was in the windows xp days that I’m specifically flashing back to)

Most users are fucking idiots and will continue to raw-dog the internet while visiting the most malicious sites possible.

Oh cool. I somehow completely forgot about balloons in general, lol. Thanks for the history!

Wat?

“And then you can start imagining what would happen if companies start abusing this, like Microsoft and/or Apple paying to make sure only their OSes load by default.”

I’m convinced that this is definitely the end goal for Microsoft, especially with the windows 11 TPM requirement. We are in the early stages of their plan to mold the PC ecosystem to be more like mobile. This is the biggest reason I decided to move to Linux - it’s now or never in my opinion.

Today I learned… My mistake. I was basing solely on the experiences I have had playing with the phones of 2 people I know that have them (one is the fold, one is the flip), the screens did not feel like glass screens to me, felt more like some type of plastic touch screens.

They aren’t glass screens.

There are almost always ways to verify the correct owner for something like this… None of which it sounds like Microsoft was willing to do, as they only seemed to care about what the current password is.

You are making an assumption that the person can’t provide any way to identify himself as the owner. The story as written states they didn’t care about anything other than the current password.

I worked with a guy that would tell people that coax needed to be “released to ground” occasionally, by unhooking the cable and putting your thumb over the end. That’s how he made sure people were disconnecting and reconnecting the cable from the back of the box. He also told someone that “data might be trapped in the Ethernet cord” and advised they unplug it from both ends and swing it around their head in a circle to “loosen the stuck bits and clear the line”…

Yea, but even if only 5% of them are livable that’s still enough to cover everyone. I also think it says something that there are that many houses no one is doing anything with while developers are constantly building new homes. (or worse entire neighborhoods of tiny homes…)

Not an expert but I’ve been very happy with my synology wifi router, plenty of range for my house. I’ve had good luck in the past with ubiquiti access points for an application that needs to cover more square footage.

Ah yea it does. Can you repost that, but slower…?
