Micron DDR chips are still being added to many consumer devices. They just would down the side the sold SSDs and similar direct to consumers.

The companies are still focusing on larger customers that are willing to pay more, one has to wonder how they will fare when those businesses aren’t willing to pay as much and the companies they told to take it or leave it have options from China.

Seriously, you can setup VPNs to only allow specific trusted devices. With critical infrastructure it should be a whitelist only security model.

I’d poach them. Salt the water and get it boiling, turn off the heat and put them in the water until they are just no longer translucent, like 3 minutes depending on how big they are.

Pull them out and season them however.

For a soup just add them at the very end similar to the poaching instructions.

Yeah “See into the future”. They’ve done the business analysis and determined the outcomes you gave. Apple has the confidence as a company to hold back even if the market wants them to do something and know they can hold firm through the irrationality of the market and come out the other side.

One has to wonder how companies like Google and Microsoft will fare when the financial engineering blows up in their faces. I’m guessing they think the government will bail them out.

Eby’s being a little bitch in BC about this.

BC has rejected PR three times now, I’ve got zero reason to believe that the electorate would vote yes if they tried a 4th time. Why waste the money? Another province needs to be the guinea pig for this.

Unfortunately, the implementation of PR is full of misinformation, people not understanding why it is better, and pet desires rather than a desire to improve the status quo.

Most people who use AI to write something can’t be bothered to make sure it is correct. It pisses me off at work so bad when someone “writes” a document or does “research” with AI and just copy pastes it into an email without actually reading to see if it makes sense.

I got so pissed of a couple months ago when people were telling me about a “great research document” that someone put together for something we had coming up that we desperately needed information about. As soon as they shared the document to me I realized it was completely AI generated and 1/3 of it didn’t make a lick of sense. I wanted to yell at the person who created it to at least take 10 minutes to delete all of the obviously incorrect crap.

Because too many people gamble (sorry “invest”) based on vibes and memes these days rather than fundamentals of the business and maintaining a properly diversified stock portfolio with a realistic time horizon.

They don’t understand the concept of a pump and dump, and only see the people bragging about their quick wins rather than the majority that lose.

Honestly I would more put it that a lot of people aren’t interested in putting in the work to get the most out of a mirrorless camera. You need to be shooting raw and processing the images. Lots of people who use their phones are great at conceptualizing a photo, they just don’t want to deal with the back end stuff.

I’ve got a similar idea except that it is a rack that sits in a cubby above where I cook. I 3D printed a rack of a bunch of hexagons that the containers slide into and have all the lids labelled. Super nice having them right at hand, typically I just look up from what I’m doing, pick the herb or spice I need and put it right back.

There was always three things that made a standalone camera better than a smartphone camera: larger sensors, better glass, better ergonomics. For most people people those advantages went away once computational photography got good enough and technology improved which allowed for very compact lenses on larger sensors.

I’ve got a different background than most photographers in that I have a lot of experience in testing camera image quality. For me, a full frame mirrorless is still the way I prefer to take photos, as it has noticeably better and more natural looking images due to better hardware. Phone cameras suck in some ways like having realistic depth of field (portrait modes look so bad to me), but they also excel in using image stacking and AI enhancements to alleviate the hardware downsides to the point that I’ll sometimes prefer the phone over the prospect of trying to achieve the same on my full frame.

For me, it is meeting the people on the team where they are to support them. Some people need me to just get out of their way and let them do their job while being there for the occasional time they need some guidance, while others need some more attention because they seek out my guidance more often, or need a bit more steering to ensure they are making the right decisions.

I also try to be clear about my overall expectations. They should never be surprised by my reactions to anything, they know where I tend to be a stickler about doing something a specific way, and they should know where I’m willing to be a bit more relaxed. I show appreciation when someone does well, and provide coaching in private when something doesn’t go well. They know that I accept that mistakes happen, but my expectation is that they learn from it and avoid it happening from then on.

Nah, feeding from a roll is significantly easier than feeding from a stack of sheets. Tons of variables when it comes to the stack while a roll is much more consistent and avoids the issue of reliably pulling a single sheet from a stack which is not a trivial problem.

Microsoft screwed this up when they tried to make onedrive the default and therefore purposely made saving to disk harder.

Now you need to know the F12 shortcut to bring up the expected behaviour breaking decades of muscle memory.

People consistently vote against proportional voting systems it seems. We have had 3 referendums on the topic in my area and it failed each time.

I have a 1st gen framework 13 and the battery is still at 85% health.

Unfortunately Linux (and Windows) power management kinda sucks in comparison to Apple products so the battery life (especially sleep) is pretty bad in comparison.

I really bought one to support the cause of repairable and upgradable hardware even though there is a cost to that.

Unless you know what you look for, choosing the white label products from Amazon can be risky. For someone like me with extensove experience working with China I can usually tell what is crap and what is good enough, but the average person might take postings at face value or choose a category of product that is high risk of causing harm (e.g. I won’t buy any no name plastic or rubber items that come in contact with food)

I think this may be a bad example. Different fruits are not necessarily sold in the same weights. Fresh strawberries are typically sold in heavier containers than a container of raspberries, and have been for a long time. Raspberries are just a more expensive fruit.

I bought a Onyx Boox reader a couple years ago that I’m quite happy with. Its literally an Android tablet with an e-ink screen, so you can download anything on the play store.

My work computer is an i9 with 64GB of RAM and it also runs like shit. It’s really noticeable how bad performance is since I switched to Linux full time on my personal systems and have a frequent comparison point.

Have they successfully innovated anything since the original Facebook? All their successful businesses are acquisitions (e.g. WhatsApp, Instagram, Oculus) and everything they try to create are half hearted copies of something else.
