It can’t match proper headphones. But I listen to podcasts and books, so the audio quality is not that important.

I switched to wireless during the covid pandemic. Otherwise it was really painful to put on and off the mask each time I entered public transport. And I agree, it’s super convenient in many other situations as well.

I’ve heard that drugs, including alcohol, trigger the chemicals in our brains that make us feel “happy”. After the effects wear off, our natural “happiness” level is even lower than it was before. This is why we feel the need to use the drug again, and over time, we also have to take more of it to feel the same level of “happiness”.

One of my favorite examples is when a company from India (I think?) trained their model to regulate subway gates. The system was supposed to analyze footage and open more gates when there were more people, and vice versa. It worked well until one holiday when there were no people, but all gates were open. They eventually discovered that the system was looking at the clock visible on the video, rather than the number of people.

8GB is definitely not enough for coding, gaming, or most creative work but it’s fine for basic office/school work or entertainment.

The thing is, basic office/school/work tasks can be done on any laptop that costs twice less than an 8GB MacBook.

Even gingers use Linux.

From my understanding my phone should be unlockable, but I have no expertise when it comes to custom Android builds. Like, how do I know they are safe and don’t come with some malware?

I married Java Design Patterns and we are happy, okay? Meet our kids Singleton and Observer.

Yeah. I don’t mind that this is a paid feature, but installing the bridge on every device is cumbersome.

Mate, did you really wake up this beautiful Sunday thinking it’s worth dying on this hill?

If only there was what to install. It’s crazy that I have to essentially throw away a perfectly capable device because the manufacturer doesn’t provide updates anymore. That if I want security updates.

People gatekeeping what it means to be a 90s kid wasn’t on my bingo card for today lol.

That is not a good excuse for a company that makes money thanks to Java.

You know this book is not real because Arch Linux has no failures 😎

Eventually somebody will rent it, and the monthly price will be higher to recoup the tax.

Cars are not animals, they don’t have subtle body movements that you could read. If you can see what the car is doing, it is already too late. The idea of turn signals is that you let other drivers know in advance. Even if they are “stupid” and can’t “read” your car. Even if you are stupid and you are doing something really stupid, signals give people around you time to notice you and avoid you. We drive to get from point A to point B, and different rules and mechanisms are there to make the whole process safer. Go feel superiority somewhere else.

I don’t see this working. Not only the property owners would transfer this cost to your monthly payments, the government would need an enormous bureaucracy to actually control and enforce this law. I don’t believe this is technically possible to achieve.

These are two separate issues. I can easily imagine that this is a bug, and one with no impact whatsoever, so I can see why it hasn’t been addressed with an urgent hotfix. There is no business value in offering an already paying user to upgrade.
