Isn't it possible that this is a cash-only business and would've accepted baht in cash? What if the owner was on wechat and that was the only other way to accept payment?

It's not very common but I've been to a few businesses in Toronto where the only form of payment accepted was cash.

I've been looking for something like calino for a while. I know it's vibe coded and likely to be abandoned but it fits the need for something quick and simple for now. I don't know why thunderbird's calendar workflow irks me but it does.

https://consumerrights.wiki/w/Microsoft_Office_2019_and_2021_for_Mac_view-only_conversion_(2026)

The product line is bounded by a hard build cap below the 16.83 threshold, and Microsoft's own support documentation states the issue "cannot be resolved by updating or reinstalling Office 2019 for Mac." Office 2021 for Mac, by contrast, is still receiving updates through its October 13, 2026 retirement date & can reach 16.83 on supported macOS versions. Windows and Android versions of Office are not affected by the certificate expiry.

What is it about macOS that forces this conversion and leaves Windows unaffected?

Yeah, I like Nick but benchmarking isn't his forte. In all the articles and videos I've come across, most distros perform similarly, usually within the margin of error for most games. I can't imagine any set of optimizations that would lead to a performance increase on the level of a gpu upgrade. It doesn't make sense.

Wendell talks about cachy quite a bit, I wish he'd do some testing but I'm sure he's already busy enough.

The only reason I went with that channel as my example was the easy to understand list within the context of the rest of the video. I usually prefer Hendrick's reviews (Hand Grinder Tier List) but it's nice to get multiple opinions.

That's only one opinion but I watched enough reviews to decide on the k6 for my needs. I've been happy with it after years with an oxo grinder. I use an aeropress most days with the occasional french press and moka pot.

I got pretty lucky with an aliexpress cash back promo from rakuten when I bought it. They come around fairly often if you're willing to wait.

TLDW: Slower and less efficient than newer snapdragon elite chips.

 

Small sample set aside, the performance differences here are much bigger than I've seen in previous linux comparisons. Something has to be off right? Curious if anyone is able to reproduce these results.

I've learned to start looking at alternatives as soon as I get a whiff of venture capital near anything I rely on. I hope I'm wrong but this is probably just the start of the downfall of bitwarden.

I'm on vaultwarden for now and keeping an eye on aliasvault and passbolt.

I'm counting down the days until they revoke all existing lifetime passes. With this change and the recent bitwarden price increases, we're definitely in the era of being squeezed for every dime from all sides.

Like many others, I bought the lifetime plex pass when it was relatively cheap but switched to jellyfin for personal use years ago. I keep plex running for family members but that'll stop as soon as the lifetime pass goes away.

 

Original title: Here's why OnePlus bricked your phone when you tried downgrading it

OnePlus statement:

To further strengthen device security, we’ve temporarily paused the ability to downgrade from 16.0.2.50x software builds to older builds. We will be restoring the ability to downgrade software builds in our next routine software update, but in the meantime customers looking to downgrade their build can contact OnePlus after sales channels directly.

Article also speculates about the reason for the temporary measure:

"prevented firmware downgrades due to a vulnerability that could allow a stolen device to be wiped clean and sold as a fully functional phone"

Whatever the reason, I'm glad they reversed course.
