I’ve had YouTube Premium for a couple years now and I’ve never experienced this.

It’s more about the annoyance factor. Before buying or using any of the port modules I’d need to check the reference to see what’s compatible. It’s one more thing to think about and it would make me less likely to use the modules.

It was a moped, the normal street legal kind. They should not have been on the sidewalk at all. The person was definitely in the wrong, but they were still doing it.

The browser chosen on the iPhone is less about the engine (as it will always be WebKit) and more about what it syncs with. If you use Firefox, Edge, Chrome, or whatever on the desktop, using the same on iOS will allow your tabs and bookmarks to sync. I think that’s the main driver of people using other browsers on iOS.

This is good to hear. Last I heard China made him disappear. I assumed he was either dead or wasting away in some reeducation camp.

The idea is that day to day charging is done at home. The charging stations should really only be needed on road trips… hence their locations at hotels. For those without a living situation that allows for home charging, it’s probably best to way until that piece of the puzzle is figured out and more mature.

I have Hush for Safari to take care of the cookie pop-ups.

I’m not sure why you’re going out of your way to take a dig at Apple here, when they have nothing to do with this AI bs taking up valuable UI space. Safari’s UI goes away almost completely, except for a little sliver on bottom of the screen once you scroll.

That port issue seems annoying enough to make me want to go with Intel. I had been watching Framework, but kind of wanted to go AMD, so I held off getting on earlier.

This is super cool. My system takes 13 seconds to boot. No real bottlenecks, just a tiny slow micro PC. It takes longer to launch Firefox than boot.

Did you delete or just deactivate? Also, did you login after doing it by mistake, as they take that as a sign to cancel the request.

I have deleted a Facebook account in the past, and my current account was deactivated about 3 or 4 years ago. I never got a single email like this… but I also proactively disabled all emails when first signing up for the account.

We used to have a lot idle PCs at work back in the day. I brought in a bunch of live CDs with some Linux distro that had a bunch of games on it (Quake, UT I think, and 4 or 5 others). We’d fire them up and have a lan party in the office, fragging each other for hours… all powered by Linux and leaving no trace. It was great.

It could be they brings ads to the home version and a subscription removes them. But I hope not, that sounds awful and very anti-consumer.

Depending on where you end up working, being a Linux admin won’t help much. Not many corporate IT departments support Linux, they’re getting ramped up on Macs now, due to demand…. but hate it. I’ve worked in an enterprise environment for almost 20 years. Pretty much all the Linux admins are using Putty on their standard issue Windows laptop. A couple who are more on the development side have Macs. I’ve saw one guy dual boot about 10 years ago, I’m sure that violated all kinds of policies. One guy has a Linux VM on his Windows machine that he always brags about, but it also doesn’t work with half the stuff he needs for the job.

I know there are some pure Linux shops, and a smaller place might let you pick whatever you want, because they don’t have IT standards and big departments… but mentally prepare for a Windows laptop. There’s WSL on Windows now, but from what I’ve seen with some co-workers, it’s a burden to run. Your mileage may vary.

The Mac seems to be the best way to go in the enterprise, if it’s available and decently supported. It’s Unix, which is nice. But you will run into some issues with different versions of sed, and things like that. I had to install the GNU core-utils on my Mac recently to get something working.

Add a little CSS to the HTML and it doesn’t look ugly anymore, and it will be much more simple and lightweight than any off the shelf thing you’re likely to find.

Keep in mind that Americans hold $1.5 trillion in car debt. Most of those people can’t actually afford the luxury cars they’re driving. They might look rich, but a lot of them are broke.

It’ll be interesting to see how it plays out. They do have some interesting utility. They can be used of power tools directly off the battery. The front trunk can allow for tool storage when the bed is full of whatever. They can be hooked up to your home to provide power during a grid outage. These are all pretty cool, but there will still be a lot of anxiety around running out of power, and the things you mention.

How about something like this?

Yeah, this stuff isn’t really slang though. They’re replacing the slang with ever more technical replacements in an effort to make something non-offensive, when the idea behind the words is inherently offensive. Then shame is used to drive adoption. Slang I get, this other stuff… it’s just annoying.

I don’t see a point of constantly shifting the words. It’s the meaning that matters. I’ve heard people use “mentally challenged” the same way people used idiot and retard. Now if I look up “mentally challenged” it’s directing me to “Intellectual disability”, which still means in the same thing, so it’s only a matter of time before people start using that and the words have to change again. It all seems so pointless. No one likes being called an idiot, but it’s there will always be a word to cover that meaning. We might as well just use the words we had.
