As a general rule for AliExpress, if something is priced too low, it’s going to be garbage.

I’ve relied on Reddit thread advice in the past for getting decently reputable Chinese brands, which has worked well when buying various things (cycling gear, kitchen scale, mini-PC).

Anyone know if it fairs better on Android TV these days?

Seems unlikely that they will be successful in shutting it down. If that were the case, they would have been shut down over the books already.

Non-engineering positions

Big tech pays large amounts of money. This is why people choose to work there.

I have figured it out: many of them.

Great! I salute your rigour in the matter. How many of them was it?

And no, Amnesty did not produce a significant amount of primary evidence. You’re just straight up lying now.

There are 430 hits for “Amnesty International interview” as sources.

Who knows, maybe they just interviewed Adrian Zenz for all of those claims. The joke would very much be on me in that case

Feel free to figure that part out. At a cursory glance, a not-insignificant part was information sourced directly by Amnesty.

Is Amnesty International a fundamentalist right wing organization, captured by Adrian Zenz?

They do cite him five times in their report on the subject, but their report does contain a total of 718 sources.

This is not to say that their report should be treated as uncritically correct, but neither should their claims be dismissed outright because of an anticommunist having been a part of doing research on the subject.

To illustrate - Candace Owens, a well known right-wing agitator and all-round piece of shit frequently speaks out against Israel. This does not, very obviously not, make Israel good.

Slay the Spire is excellent on mobile.

This is not what dark pattern means.

Also, I don’t think enabling developer options is required to install arbitrary APKs.

or wondering how you’ll close up a veggie bag.

Get yourself some of these for all of your bag-closing needs: https://www.ikea.com/se/en/p/bevara-sealing-clip-anthracite-dark-yellow-90524179/

Costs just above 1 EUR for a set of 6, so you can probably even afford to get 2 or 3

The primary use-case for LLMs once again appears to be gooning

It’s mostly a skill issue for services that go down when USE-1 has issues in AWS - if you actually know your shit, then you don’t get these kinds of issues.

Case in point: Netflix runs on AWS and experienced no issues during this thing.

And yes, it’s scary that so many high-profile companies are this bad at the thing they spend all day doing

It’s cringe

No need for the likely-qualifier - it definitely won’t make a difference in perceived sound quality.

You basically need expensive gear under the right conditions and training to be able to tell. Modern audio codecs are extremely good - the main thing you will get out of lossless is more storage/data usage

Agreed. If your commits are reasonably structured, rebasing is far more helpful.

Although these days I usually opt for one ball-of-mud commit while developing the code, which is always fairly trivial to rebase - only one commit, can’t have follow-up issues - and then I redo the commit structure from scratch as a part of preparing the code for the benefit of the reviewer.

Use a rebase.
