This looks great!

No judgement felt lol

Someone else called me out on it, too, and I decided to have fun with it instead of fixing it hahahaha if you can’t laugh at yourself…

If she’s well enough to consent to this, have her consent. Then install the cameras in such a way that her privacy is not eroded. For example, camera A only sees the door into the room, camera B only sees the night stand, camera C only sees the wardrobe. That sort of thing. Then instruct her to always keep her valuables in a location where at least one camera can monitor.

Mainly, this is because I was writing official docs, then took a quick Lemmy break, but my brain stayed “official” hahahahaha that’s all. ‘they’ should absolutely be used in this colloquial context.

What someone feels is ethical and what may be legal don’t always match. From a legal point of view in every country I’ve worked at as a contractor, “time laying in bed thinking about problems” isn’t billable time.

As a personal time management solution, I don’t see any issues here. As a billable time report maker, it has the very real potential to get the user into legal turmoil.

Use at your own risk and made damn sure that the laws match your idea of ethical billable hours, is all I’m saying.

Sure, sure. But s/he reading this might appreciate the use of special characters to improve his/her password entropy.

Impressive, I gotta say

Outputting clean reports is one thing, but “normalizing” the time to make it look better, or as though I’m more busy, is something else entirely. I appreciate the effort, but this tool has the very real potential to get a contractor or employee sued for time fraud. I highly recommend against normalization of time data. The contractor either worked a full 30 or s/he didn’t. It’s black and white. Saying s/he worked for 30 when s/he worked for 25 is a lie, and subject to lawsuits and further legal action.

And they haven’t gone overboard with the fantastical world, either. And that’s not an easy feat to achieve!

I’ve never heard of Bee and Puppycat, but it looks super cute!

Unfortunately, no. The last one I’ve used was last year’s Samsung flip. Z Flip 5, I think. I really want to try the Razr 40, though, and the Pixel Fold.

Increasing prices again by 56%, now this. Google is gunning for the most evil corporation award.

But papi Google says it’s for privacy

I glanced at your icon and thought, “ha, looks like firewire400”, then saw your username hahahahaha love it!

I’ve used them. The crease is not unnoticeable. Sure, you may forget it’s there after a while, but it is still there. And that’s not what I was talking about. Specifically, the delamination that tends to occur after extended use. That’s the issue they need to figure out. And to your camera point: my phone has a cutout, and I hate it. It always gets in the way. Yes, I get used to it, but it’s there, and it blocks a small part of the screen.

My point with all of this, is not that these folding phones suck and shouldn’t be made just because it has a crease. I hate the notch. I can’t stand the crease. This doesn’t mean they bother you. My point, however, is that unless this is actually new, it’s not new and is, therefore, irrelevant.

Edit: as an aside, I’ve owned a Xiaomi, and it was the worst phone I have ever used. Actually, it was awesome for about 5 months, then started degrading, then turned itself off randomly after the 6-month time. I had to replace it after 6 months. To give perspective, I keep phones for years. The phone before that Xiaomi lasted 5 years, before it started having battery issues.

If I may venture a guess:

There are four of these chips (1302, 1105, 1507, 1202). Someone, trying to speed-talk, referred to them as the “four thousand-series chips” (instead of the “four, one-thousand-series chips”), and someone misheard or misunderstood that as the “4000-series chips”. After several levels of this telephone game, marketing got involved, and they were just renamed into the 4000 series instead of redoing the marketing documents.

Just a guess.

I have this one, and never got used to it. I should try again.

Reynolm is Microsoft in this instance.

Oh, you are correct. But this doesn’t stop them from attempting to do so at every turn.

Honestly, I thought I was the only one, and I was always fearful of admitting this… I am among family here, it seems.
