Watched this earlier on the week and made me realize a lot of small and medium imported home automation products we use will become similarly affected. Only the big fish will survive and we might end up with Google and Amazon cloud reliant devices that need to be replaced every few years… but we will generate profits for investors for a while I guess?

Enterprise eh… So the clown car part is accurate!

Can’t do much with a cable if the source (internet or BD) doesn’t have the source material at the adequate quality to support it.

As someone that has bought a graphics card as part of a build in these scenarios:

• after having a first job
• after graduating from college
• about 9 years later as a professional

The first 2 felt like a nice upgrade given my larger budget (200-300 more total for the entire computer). The last one felt like the worst purchase of my life. If gamers nexus is sometimes negative, it is for a good reason, we all feel it.

I have a feeling they also had to buy their own components and have not forgotten that despite nvidia or amd fighting for stats, and streamers always having a top of the line build most gamers don’t (as shown by steam survey results over and over).

We have. Stupidity and malice. Doesn’t help us of course but that’s kind of it.

Worse, they have been taking after the US and only allowing single family homes and car based infrastructure. They also elect idiots like Doug Ford.

Doug: “I feel so safe on this bike in the city of Toronto”. Also Doug: “my commute is extended a few minutes, fuck the people that actually live in the city, I’ll remove the bike lanes with fake data and by riling up other lazy fucks like myself so I can drive my car from the suburbs into the city quicker”

There is a whole channel “not just bikes” about non car based transportation and public spaces that commonly cites Canada as basically US 2.0 (from a guy that used to live in Canada before, and still has family there).

You don’t need it to be on the appliance itself. Hook a power metering smart outlet and you can tell. Or a shake sensor. Or an open door sensor. Combine them all for a reliable effective way to tell if it’s done and the door has been opened, all for a much lower price than what those “smart” appliances charge the premium for. This way you can also choose vendors that work on local wifi/zigbee/z wave and don’t own a paper weight or part functional item the moment the vendor decides to shutdown the servers.

Hard to argue with any of those points. Nice of you to kindly elaborate for people trying to blame the victims of the scheme.

Hostile Poopoo

There are different qualities of stainless steel. Remember kids, it’s stain less not stain never.

I got hit by the updated pictures and product problem you described recently. Used the “buy again” for a silicone set of wipers for my car (those last for years instead of the 2 seasons you get out of the rubber garbage the companies push). Rain x had updated the product to the latter one to make more money with the reviews of the older long lasting one on the inferior product. Had to return and buy from elsewhere. I can’t trust the “order again” functionality and at this point, Amazon and the companies there any longer (since they used the process to mislead customers).

But the cost of constructing parking infrastructure is more directly related to square meters than weight (in HCOL areas especially). Sure more weight means beefier structures and/or pavement are needed, but that tends to average over an area vs a large object requiring a larger investment regardless of whether it’s light or not.

Developer1: @developer2: could you take a look, I know u know stuff about this.

Developer2: can’t reproduce. Might be able to if I get the app logs in trace level, the blood of 3 dragons and a signed autograph of Michael Jordan’s third hello world program.

User1: here are some other unrelated logs at info level only and nothing else.

Git bot: clozed y’all.

Using your voice to send an email, video or audio message. You can still make calls and send text messages.

You could never make calls. I remember trying to find my phone by asking Google to call it and it just saying “calling xyz”. Never rang, not while I was using a Google voice number, not on Google Fi, not on T-Mobile/mint.

Also, didn’t see anything about asking the assistant on the living room something and the device in the bedroom answering and vice-versa. Not sure how something so simple could be messed up. We kind of gave up on using it due to that, it isn’t even good enough to Google a question any longer.

Tom Scott’s video on 1 million dollars vs 1 billion dollars highlights how crazy 1 billion dollars really is for those that need easy to understand comparisons like me.

They released Twitter Bootstrap a while ago for “HTML, CSS, and Javascript for popular user interface components and interactions”, to this day, it is hard going to a website that doesn’t integrate in some way it at least once a day. The source code for lemmy.world’s CSS says it is using Bootstrap for example:
