To qualify for some benefits you can’t have any assets. The state forces you to sell your assets and pay for care before they will chip in.

If we disallowed margin loans from brokerage accounts then the uber wealthy would be forced to pay more taxes. We can easily avoid impacting the middle class with marginal tax brackets.

I’m using a pixel 8 with graphene. If I try to use that gesture while browsing lemmy with the Sync app, for example, it just scrolls the feed back towards the top.

I only explain bc I’m hoping I’m using it incorrectly.

I use that but it only works from the home screen. If I use the gesture from an app it just interact with the app.

Ohhh I just assumed it was what my pixel 8 was using.

Seriously. I’m tired of blinding myself at night when trying to sleepily check my phone. The sensor on the back of my old pixel could also be used to pull down the notification shade which I can’t easily reach with one hand, now, since the screen is so large.

I needed a simple script to combine jpegs into a pdf. I tried to make a python script but it’s been years since I’ve programmed anything and I was intermediate at best. My script was riddled with errors and would not run. I asked chatgpt to write me the script and the second or third attempt worked great. The first two only failed because my prompts were bad, I had never used chatgpt before.

No it was the opposite. Information laid out in his dossier continues to prove true over time as more details are released to the public. Not sure that anything has been shown to be false.

Most criticism you find is heavy on colorful language like “'fake news” and “common sense” but lacks any disproving evidence.

Nvidia Shield

I’m getting full speed (currently 290mbps on verizon 5g).

Thanks for the reminder to switch to merlin firmware.

Why can’t we blame Microsoft?

Yea what are even the implications of being individually “sanctioned”? They can’t travel to Canada now??

I wear a hoodie most of the time. I don’t mind if you feel suspicious of me; one reason I have a hood up is because I don’t want to engage with random people. Sounds like you would go out of your way to avoid me so mission accomplished.

Correct, it only works when certain conditions are met.

Drivers can activate Mercedes’s technology, called Drive Pilot, when certain conditions are met, including in heavy traffic jams, during the daytime, on spec ific California and Nevada freeways, and when the car is traveling less than 40 mph. Drivers can focus on other activities until the vehicle alerts them to resume control. The technology does not work on roads that haven’t been pre-approved by Mercedes, including on freeways in other states.

Those failure rates are nonsense based on theoretical limits. In practice: a few weeks ago I resilvered a 4 disk z1 array with 8tb disks at 85% capacity in less than 24 hours. I scrub the pool every month and it didn’t seem any more taxing than a scrub.
