Those little things, xeyes, xload, xclock, xbiff, I discovered them in 1990 in HP-UX and mwm, but we needed to edit some config file to remove the top banner, border, etc, it was fun
oh I did,, it was a banner maybe 100 pixels height. I had a small app to make window transparent by clicking on them, so I started the bar, started the app, click the bar, it dissapeared but still registered viewing. I got maybe 25$ after a couple of months
You can replace Vancouver for Montreal and you'd have the same thing.
In Montreal we laughed for years at the 1M$ shack or mansions in Vancouver, but now in Montreal an average house is also 1M, it was like 500k 5 years ago. There is something like 3000 empties condos too in Montreal, maybe 10000-12000 airbnb too, and 25-34yo people especially those with spouse/children are leaving Montreal en masse.
It is completely fucked up right now. Rent also doubled. People on minimum wage are making ~2k$/month, an average rent is 2k$/month.
Let's not talk about an average new car at 65k$ and an average used car at 36k$
Not sure someone knows for the moment, but for sure the US part will have all its data in US data center and all. App can be the same binaries I guess, like Netflix for instance, that use IP/geo location to show you different stuff.
There will be a US tiktok algorithm (full of racist white supremacist fascist stuff), and a RestOfTheWorld algorithm (with doorables labubu and other nonsense)
Younger for sure, watching horror movies on a CRT from VHS, when you are pre-teen or something, is scary! Now I am completely desensitized from them, they do nothing for me, and I don't watch them anymore, I prefer to watch something else.
oh god same, I bought maybe 500 items in aliexpress in the last 10 years, a lot of stuff less than $5, Arduino compatible, electronic components, plugs/sockets/connectors of about any type, cables, LEDs, LCD screen (char and for phone/tablet), sensors, relays, name it and countless house items, even my PoCo phone!!!
Only stuff I do not buy on AE are things plugging on AC outlet, because they are not UL whatever tested. But everything low voltage like 5V/12V stuff, good for it.
I have a Mediatek MT7921K, it's using the mt7921e driver, 3 years ago the chip was new I think and not well supported in linux (problem with init/sleep/resume) but a lot of people fixed it, and mediatek released new firmware, and the driver is rock solid for about 3 years now, I'm using it on my daily driver working PC 8h/day, 0 problem, and use a BLE keyboard and trackball too.
