His output gleamed well beyond his year of experience.
I call BS on that, unless that is how poor the work standard is at those companies. I’ve been finding more and more colleagues of mine will blindly generate documents with AI and the output is simply terrible. Like even if you use it to generate the information, at least go through and fix all the obvious errors and eliminate the fluff that the models love to add.
51% vote? More like 38-40% vote. That is all a party typically needs to be able to get a majority government.
$60 for phone service is highway robbery. Unless you have specific needs that the big 3’s main brands plans give you, you should be on a discount carrier. For years now you have been able to regularly get a plan in the $28-32 range for 20GB data from Virgin/Fido/Koodo. The only downside has been they were LTE only for a long time, but 5G isn’t really a noticeable upgrade, and it looks like they have all upgraded to 5G for their plans since I last looked.
I’m currently on a plan from Koodo that is only $24/mo for 10GB data which is plenty.
These are the plans that seem to creep up in price over time until you switch providers when another good deal comes up.
3 Months is pretty bad. But I’ve found both Fido and Virgin are terrible for this. Every 6 months or so they sneak in a message about a price increase in your bill and raise your bill by a few dollars.
Its seriously embarrassing how bad our banks are at security. I’ve complained before and got the response “well you are covered if anything happens to your account”, they didn’t seem to understand when my response was “but I don’t want to have to deal with arguing to get my money back”
Stuff like this is exactly what I was worried about.
The other thing that banks so that really annoys me is they say “don’t share your password to anyone” and then only give the option of a 3rd party company that you provide your login to in order to link accounts between banks. What happens if one of those businesses gets hacked? Would they reject claims because you gave them your account details?
No, assuming it isn’t someone that I otherwise have a personal relationship with, they owe me nothing. The significant other is the one that has broken the social contract of the relationship and shoulders the blame.
House of Blanks is great for basic t-shirts. They have some good sales a couple times a year.
Given what you say about Province of Canada that is likely where they get their blanks.
I think that is about right. I was on my Sandy Bridge system for 9 years and upgraded because I saw working from home happening. No reason I won’t be be fine with my AM4 system for that long. Just did my mid cycle GPU upgrade at the start of the year.
I once made a CEO a bit unhappy by describing the stock market as socially acceptable gambling, every day I’m proven more and more right.
In North America and Europe, tap to pay was implemented prior to smartphones that could scan QR codes being ubiquitous. Most of us have had cards that support NFC payments for longer than we have had a phone that can read QR codes so it made sense for phones to pick up the technology that worked with the terminals businesses already had than try to implement a new system.
The QR code thing is primarily a Chinese solution to the payment problem (all other Asian countries I’ve been to have widespread NFC acceptance). Payment cards were never widespread within China the way they are in other places, until AliPay and WeChat Pay became a thing people still primarily used cash for their daily communications. If businesses don’t already have credit card terminals but people have smartphones then the QR code starts to make more sense.
One interesting thing about this is that even before North America was widely using NFC payments, people in Hong Kong were using their Octopus transit cards as contactless payment at all kinds of businesses throughout the city. Yet that technology didn’t seems to make it into Mainland China.
I unfortunately have to use Chrome at work and uBlock origin light seems to work well enough. When I’m at home the pihole does most of the heavy lifting for the adblocking.
The whole TV streaming space is just super depressing. Even though I try to self host as much as I can, nothing I’ve found comes close to the experience of Android TV even with the ads (though you can replace the launcher to fix that problem).
Good point, I missed adding that crucial detail.
Smart Homes arent terrible, but it is easy to end up with a terrible smart home if you don’t take care in designing it.
Consider who is using it. Are they tech saavy enough to use an app? Is every user only within your household? If not, make sure everything can be controlled without an app, smart buttons are a great solution. What automation actually benefits your lifestyle? Keep it simple where possible, start with just lights and maybe some sensors.
I think it is best to have an overall plan to make sure your devices work together, but start small. Choose devices that run on stable platforms and locally. Make sure everything can connect to Home Assistant, even of you don’t plan on using it, having the option may benefit you in the future.
Pretty much, you need to invest in all the pillars to deal with the drug addiction epidemic. Just decriminalizing doesn’t solve the problem for society as a whole, the non-drug using public also needs to see a marked decrease in drug users on the street and reduced crime for a program to be a true success.
I said from say one that this was doomed to fail because they weren’t primarily investing in mental health and addiction treatment that was sorely needed. Of course that is the expensive and hardest part. Decriminalizing drugs is the “quick and easy” part.
The article says that they say it only affected customers that check out as a “guest”. Presumably most customers use an account when making a purchase.
That said I saw the people reporting it initially saying you didn’t even need to submit the form to be affected so I don’t know how they can tell how many customers were affected.
I have a hard time calling this enshittification, it dilutes term if it is just used to mean anything getting worse. Rather it should be used to describe the purposeful corporate destruction of a service’s value to boost profit after attracting users.
Its somewhat homophobic in a “Hurr Durr, you are gay and like to take it up the butt” way. Plus the general stigma around men using sex toys.
My initial thought was that this is an attempt at a prank (not a very good one) between two military members.
Have they successfully innovated anything since the original Facebook? All their successful businesses are acquisitions (e.g. WhatsApp, Instagram, Oculus) and everything they try to create are half hearted copies of something else.
