deleted by creator

Not sure if the UK is similar to where I lived, but they were the worst “cloud” provider I’ve ever used. Want to shut down the instance you had to recreate it with a different OS? Good luck getting it back online as they are out of capacity. Also, if you accidentally deleted one of the default network components it was impossible to recreate it without incurring a cost kind of going against anything you learned about cloud computing and “infrastructure as code”. It was a glorified GUI.

Edit: I’m just glad my current employer does not use anything oracle as their support is also famously bad.

But then Verizon would get some of that money. The pile of shit company that programmed a physical key on your phone next to the scroll wheel to bill you 1.99 a month for the privilege of using 0.00001 MB of data if you accidentally clicked it during the month and it opened their shit “get it now” store. Literally the company that pushed for hostile design back in the 2000s. Fuck them. Fuck Bank of America , Wells Fargo and Comcast. They lost a customer for my entire life due to their shit business practices.

Even if I don’t disagree games on consoles are better optimized, anti-consumer tactics they employ have made sure I will avoid them in the same way I’ve started to avoid Microsoft and Google products. It’s not about console vs PC, it’s about consumer media rights for me.

They fired him after they ran a background check.

Sookeeeeeehh~ 🧛‍♂️

That’s just a train/bus with extra steps and far more risk. Cities with cars as the main mode of transport are still ugly places to live.

Forgot: “Nintendo is suing all of them!”

I someone that has not played halo before I was wondering if the beer belly energy was supposed to be part of the character.

Plus on many occasions they go with the lowest bidder for the sake of appearances. I remember a company I used to work for went with a very unrealistic low bid to get their foot in the door and then get the maintenance contract that came after implementation.

The project went as well as you’d expect with such a low budget. Experienced people left due to long working hours, unrealistic client expectations and no budget for any quality of life improvements available (I was one of them). The company lost the maintenance bid and will likely lose the best people they still have to the new company taking over the contract.

Replacement electric toothbrush heads run on the same scheme as disposable razors with high margins and vendor lock in. I’ve also seen vendors (Phillips) change the design to force you to buy another base station/brush.

Not sure about her record, but the entry on Wikipedia says her mom works/worked at UNAM (one of the most famous Mexican universities). She was hired there and received some awards. Hard to say, but it has the smell of nepotism at the very least.

Her family mostly seems to associate with middle class directors, politicians and faculty. Definitely more privileged than the average Mexican, not much different than a US president. I’m guessing the policies will be what you’d expect with maybe a spin for the plebeians to think she’s on their side (again, much like the US).

In addition to your comment, I would add to include apps that don’t sound “as interesting” or different from your usual picks. Along the way, it helps to be willing to refactor if you see a different way to implement it. This can help turn a routine task into a more interesting challenge.

It sounds like she had a better grasp of the legal system than him in all fairness.

It’s shit for automating things and especially useless outside the Apple ecosystem, but it does offer the option to turn off sharing.

Apple ID -> Find My -> Share My Location

Since it’s closed source it’s possible they still capture the location and I would t trust it, but in practice anyone that you’ve allowed to see your location (for an hour, day, while on-route) gets a “location unknown” on their app of the toggle is off.

Knulli works well.

The version I installed did not have support for the hinge, although I believe newer versions do offer that now.

BT headphones are not supported from what I recall. I have not yet tried external BT controllers or HDMI out.

Best we can do is the game will run on ps5 pro only. Regular ps5 is supported only at 15 fps.

Great points, as someone who is very happy with their current home automation and services, checking in the config files to a git repo was the critical step. Also backup volumes since many containers tend to store state in some binary or internal DB. At the very least try restoring the config to verify you have what’s needed. The containers should start even if they have no media on it.

In terms of tinkering not being fun anymore. That’s okay, sometimes you need a break.

A point that is sometimes not brought up enough in my opinion is to plan for loses. What can you afford to lose if you can’t backup everything (due to price, etc.)? config files and photos or personal data are relatively small (compared to something like a media library) and should be prioritized.

To be fair the description from OP was pretty bad. My mind shifted to cars at first too.

That sounds about right. I’m 30+ and I’ve only ever known BMW and Mercedes as unreliable rich people cars. I’m from a lower income town where most people drive more sensible compact Japanese cars. Also American models, but those were always considered less desirable long term. These days you do see a lot of shitty large pick up trucks from the more “affluent families” sadly.
