Are they going to be paying for extended support? My job is still on windows 10 (after they tried to upgrade to 11 and ended up having business applications not work as they should), but they are paying for extended support.
Nope. This was a rumor and the article title is misleading. Valve blocked NSFW updates of games that were originally labeled as SFW and then the dev tried to update with NSFW game elements.
I don't work in a programming field but this explains a lot about why I went through and redesigned the intake forms at my old job to be mostly check boxes, and why I hate the way accessory instructions are laid out. If it has no words but just pictures? No thanks. If it has all words and no pictures? No thanks. If it doesn't lay out the installation in a way that makes step by step sense from start to finish? No thanks. Double back to this step or that step? Nah. I'm good.
Can I just say that I am delighted both by the content of this post and by the fact that it is the most "mildly interesting" post I've ever seen posted?
There's an image of a guy with a cutaway into his brain and his brain is just a ball of different highways with cars zooming along at all different speeds in all different directions. I can't find this image right now but that's it. That's my ADHD brain. And there's music playing.
It was problematic for me because my baby tooth could move. So it was putting stress on the teeth on either side and that was causing me other dental issues.
The orthodontic surgeon who diagnosed and did my dental work did mention that baby teeth often don't have a strong root and so they can become problematic in a adult mouth, but if I'm honest my dental health at the time wasn't great (I had a cavity where a wisdom tooth grew in and put tension on a rear molar and eventually that molar cracked and it turned out that with my wisdom teeth grown in I had a lot of crowding which eventually led to me having all four molars and four wisdom teeth removed.
I also used to suck my thumb as a kid so some of my problems with the baby tooth may have resulted from that pressure as well. My recollection of all my dental work isn't the greatest so I may have missed some of what the dentist said.
TLDR: If you think your kids don't need to see a dentist for a whole decade, you're wrong.
When you look at how the stock market works and who invests in it, yes it is too big to fail. We have moved away from companies providing pensions to retirees.
What we moved to us stuff like IRAs and 401K's. Occasionally you'll see an SEP. But what you have to understand about that is a lot of the general public's retirement savings are accruing value by being invested in the stock market.
I know that a lot of media portrays this as a thing that makes it seem pretty farfetched but the stock market and most of the commodities traded there are too big to fail because their profitability and stock price is what the US retirement system (if you can call it that) is based on.
Even social security is invested in the stock market. A lot of people don't think they're investing anything in the stock market and therefore crashes, dips, and even the bankruptcy of publicly traded companies doesn't effect them. They're not usually right about that.
Nah. They literally billed the tablets to have features/functionality that didn't work or wasn't implemented not just at launch but a full year after the fact. I love tablets. Had both versions of the nexus 7.
But they keep trying to make tablets be other things instead of just making a tablet that's useful for tablet things.
I loved reading on my nexus 7. The pixel tablet is a bit big for that. I like using it to watch movies or even just videos. Its pretty okay for that.
But all the effort went into smart features that would have been useful if they worked. But they didn't work and google doesn't seem to have even made strides to make them work. Finger print reader? Only useable with the primary account holder (so if you share this tablet the person or people you share it with can't use the finger print reader to unlock their profile). Smart home features that were half broken because it doesn't know whether it wants to use Gemini or google assistant. Smart home hub features that their own smart home hub from a previous generation far outpaces.
Google can't just make a tablet and let it be a tablet and they aren't trying to make a tablet that has feature parity with what IOS provides. I have never personally owned an iOS device but the ones I have used have apps that aren't just scaled up phone apps.
I owned (sold it back to bestbuy) the pixel tablet. It didn't do half the stuff it was supposed to be able to do (mostly to do with smart home integration, and multi user integration), and I got tired of trying to make it work for my family so I sold it back to bestbuy for store credit.
I read an article the other day about the woman who wrote that tell all book about Meta. Supposedly (according to the article) she faces a $50K fine every time she breaks the contract she agreed to when departing the company by defaming them. But she has not ever been charged that fine. But she is facing bankruptcy.
That's an article that's so poorly written that it literally doesn't seem to have warranted any comment except mine which says literally "I do not understand the facts presented in this article and how they correlate". Last I checked there were no other comments.
Oh I'm aware of the history of how we got here. I'm pointing out that it should not be the expectation just because America has footed the bill. Other countries shouldn't have let this happen in the first place. And what I mean by that is, it's as much their fault for standing down militaries and reducing military spending and allowing the US to become such a large contributor to NATO as it is America's fault for being a military industrial complex nightmare of a country.
To change the status quo and make things less uneven we probably shouldn't be advocating for America to continue their BS.
If it was, people would have left Lemmy and made their way to piefed or similar. As it stands they either don't know he made statements at all (I didn't know), or they don't care.
Not that I disagree with the sentiment but it raises some questions about why the USA is so much more powerful than the other members of NATO. Because honestly the US shouldn't be a law unto themselves or the muscle behind an alliance like NATO and that's like half the problem.
