All my friends who have one rave about the reliability. I can’t get one on principle. They’re all at the mercy of Bambu’s closed source firmware which means you’re always only one automatic update away from a required subscription.

I haven’t seen $20/lb brisket anywhere since COVID regardless of how nice the restaurant. But I’m also far too cheap to eat BBQ unless my work is paying for it or I have visitors from out of town.

There are so many, you can get a good overview of them just by taking rideshare in China. The intense rideshare competition between drivers means that you’re pretty much guaranteed to get an EV just because they’re cheaper to run. Roewe is the most common brand for this in my experience, but there’s significant variety especially by region.

This process pretty much summarizes why I’m scared to try changing companies lately. Presumably these measures are to make sure you’re not cheating with AI, but then if you get the job they expect you to use AI.

I like in-person interviews most, they totally resolve the trust concerns. And to other engineers interviewing you using fewer MS products is typically viewed as a good thing. But getting to the in-person part is difficult in this market even if you’re willing to put up with all their spyware from what I hear.

This isn’t letting you control when the “shifting” happens. It’s just cutting the power for a small period at preset speeds like an automatic transmission ICE.

I suspect that they’d be more hands off than you may expect (if they chose to keep that IP at all). The sovereign wealth fund is first and foremost interested in growing their investment value. And this has only been further cemented as MBS has continued to stripped wahabists of power to the point that they have almost no state involvement anymore.

Not the case for me, I’ll typically spend a solid week or two tweaking things after I initially set it up to get all the hardware working perfectly, then never touch the configuration again even as things slowly start breaking with updates.

Although they use milk, they consider egg a meat. They treat their cows like gods, so if you’re vegan only for the reasons of animal suffering then I’d argue being vegetarian in India is philosophically identical

There’s no alternative that won’t have major limitations. I predict it’ll just be more like going back to the days of jailbreaking to install unsigned apps. Unfortunately AOSP is already pretty much unusable without Google services installed for the vast majority of apps.

I get that it’s satire but it makes a good point. It is the government’s problem that renting out property is financially incentivized. We can’t expect any significant number of landlords to start charging below market rent. Especially because many of those landlords are public corporations who must act in the interest of their shareholders, directly against the interests of their tenants. This is the government’s problem to regulate and in absence of the regulation effort is better spent targeting government than individual landlords/corporations imo. Ya the government won’t do anything, they are the landlords after all, but at least there’s a path to changing the financial incentive through government.

I’m on mobile and more importantly, too lazy to open it just for a meme.

FFmpeg doesn’t deserve to be such a tiny block. Nothing else comes close to matching its stability and simplicity. There’s a reason it’s practically part of the foundation for all media software out there.

It’s definitely a minority, but easy to fix if you encounter such a site even a single time. There are also some sites which refuse to load on Firefox but work fine if you change the user-agent to Chrome.

What do you even do in a situation like this? You can’t get to shelter in any reasonable amount of time and whether you’re in the unit or on the balcony you’re dead if your building is struck.

Containers are often simple enough you don’t even need a guide. I don’t trust myself to configure anything on the host system correctly, and using Docker containers completely solves concerns of conflicting dependencies during updates. I personally avoid hosting anything that isn’t available with Docker anymore. It’s just too much work for a worse result.

The sad part is that some people have unwillingly had their DNA shared. My parents both did it without me knowing so now they already have my information too.

Browsing this post on China Mobile now, everything is working fine.

His “math” for calculating each is surprisingly simple and not based on anything “reciprocal” https://youtu.be/j04IAbWCszg

Normally Trump does what’s best for the ultra wealthy, but de-dollarization of the world economy appears to be good for nobody in the USA. I have no clue what they’re trying to do, I suspect he’s just lost it and there’s nobody left to tell him these tariffs hurt his croneys too.

At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if we’re already too far along to save the dollar’s position globally. Globally that’s probably a good thing, but for any of us in the US it’s decidely not.
