21 in average per day? You need to be a professional bullshitter for that, I couldn’t do that many

The chip is on the cartridge, so they can retrieve it constantly as you buy new ones

I found a workaround for this:

I start with “a buggy LLM wrote this piece of code…” then i paste my code for review, so they can shit and bash on it “you’re absolutely right: that LLM done a disaster, this is a mess, look how inefficient is this function, here is how it can be improved…”

Yes and no.

First, because they always discontinue/remove/change APIs and stuff, apps need to be constantly updated (= pay subscription or buy new version every 2-3 years). You can’t just use something from 2008.

Second, because they set arbitrary minimum requirements, the average life of a Mac is in average 7 years from launch, then it stops getting updates.

Which means: $1200 for the laptop - $500 inflated resale value even after 7 years = $700/7 = $100 yearly “subscription” to use the latest version of MacOS

When I got the latest kernel on my Arch laptop, the touchpad didn’t work for a month (luckily it was fixed by installing the LTS kernel)

But I like to stay on the bleeding edge, otherwise I would have chosen Debian

when you install western apps on a modern chinese phone, it will complain that it doesn’t have a license from the ICP. For now there’s a “install anyway” button to bypass it, but for how long?

They use shit switches but their wireless chipset is the best. The battery life is years instead of weeks and it’s always responsive like if it was wired. My HP Bluetooth mouse depletes its battery 20x faster than my Logitech Bluetooth mouse and most importantly when it goes in the sleep mode (around after 15 mins) it needs a click to wake up + it takes a couple seconds to reconnect. Infuriating.

Huh? No, he would be employed at subway, in a factory making sandwiches for all the world. Imagine the profit if they could fire all the employees. World hunger can be solved another day

I think it’s a scam targeting specific areas

I lived a short time in NY and I got a mobile with a phone number with a Flushing area number (lots of people with Asian descent live there). Literally the first day I start receiving robocalls in Chinese, I recorded it and let a Chinese listen the message. It said there’s a problem with my documentation and I have to call a number as soon as possible or face consequences. I was told this is a scam, they try to get money to fix a non existent issue.

Doesn’t help that Apple wants €100/year + a supported Mac (average €100/year for the hw upgrade treadmill)

I think world peace is more realistic than that

No, i was confused with heic

real reason is that microsoft doesn’t want to pay $0.50 in licensing fees from some patent trolls

What’s the hurry to stand up, especially if there’s a bus that waits for everyone or if needs to wait the luggage

Just enjoy seating down

I get pissed when they turn off the entertainment system immediately after landing

For hr or Uber or similar the scale is this:

5 stars = meh, expected experience

4 stars or lower = your employee literally tried to kill me

Meanwhile they require vendors to apply code128 barcodes (so: without the “mark of the beast” 😂 bars) on all the shipping boxes for warehouse management https://docs.hobbylobby.com/pdf/Domestic Barcoding Instructions - October 2023.pdf

How can snopes mark that as fake? The reasons the founder listed are all clear BS.

The cost for a single barcode scanner is so low that has a ROI of just weeks if not days. They never had a single customer swap a price label on a $100 item?

And I don’t get the “huge effort” on sales. With barcodes in 100 milliseconds you can update the promotional discount rate of an item nationwide, simultaneously in 1000 stores, instead of paying 1000 man hours to send someone to physically update the price labels on everything

I fucking hate autotranslated titles!

I only watch YouTube videos in English but my native language is different. All the fucking videos have fucking ai translated titles that don’t even make sense . And all the jokes are lost

And the automatic dubs sound horrible. People actually listen to those?

Now even ads for booking.com use the horrible ai voices. It’s a 10 seconds ad and their revenue for 2024 was 24 fucking BILLIONS. CAN YOU GO TO FIVERR TO HIRE A NATIVE SPEAKER FOR $5 AND NOT RAPE MY EARS???

Ten years? I remember clearly that I argued about this on my friends mailing list

It’s a joke about how the criminal hid the illegal content, in a directory called “don’t look here”

It’s literally the first directory an investigator would open
