Unfortunately I've heard the list is not well-enforced, so the do-not-call list functions more as a list of confirmed working numbers with humans on the other end. That's why I've never tried using it...
I get probably 5 spam calls a week so if that keeps growing, I might have to give it a try...
Oh my God yes. I used a MacBook for work and it was a two-step nightmare to get it to connect to multiple monitors.
First, I had to plug multiple type-C cables in, one for each monitor, since Mac can't output multiple displays through a dock. And getting it to actually show on all monitors was a finicky process at best.
And then, every time I'd take it off the desk and put it back, all my windows and workspaces would be all jumbled up, on the wrong monitors, etc.
I needed to install Rectangle just so I could have a keyboard shortcut to snap a window back onto the screen, since sometimes they'd be inaccessible off the end of the screen.
Mac support for multiple monitors is not a smooth experience, to say the least.
Just gonna call out that programming isn't the only "real work" in the world.
Yep, it's mostly just about consistency across the dev team. This is coming from someone with multiple Linux machines for personal use and hobby projects:
At my first job, devs all had Macs. There was the occasional guy with Linux but he was always had trouble because all the scripts and dev tools were made for Mac, so he had to constantly be rewriting and modifying them to work on his machine, and wasted time doing so. Nobody used Windows for development since it wasn't Microsoft, lol.
But, when the Apple Silicon Macs started appearing, that's a different story...
As much as I'm rooting for this meme, the spike was very brief and the stock has been falling consistently over the last day 😔
Unfortunately many North Koreans already leave the country to work as slaves for construction companies, factories, etc (including in Europe). Generally they only allow people out who have families back home to be tortured/killed in case they defect.
They will probably get some, but less than you might expect.
Waiting for 9000 X3D. For most people, 7800X3D is more performant than anything 9000 series.
Unfortunately, bodycam videos often contain private info (nudity, PII, graphic scenes, etc), and need to be put through a censor before being made available to the public. So someone like a police chief has the power to cover something up pretty easily. An agency is only as honest as the ones with the power to control which videos make it out to the public.
Nonetheless, I support putting those features on all officers too. Even if it's not perfect, it does improve things, and put a feeling of surveillance on the officers.
They know.
Capacitive touch sensors are WAY cheaper than physical buttons, and aren't nearly as prone to mechanical flaws. Plus they can market them as "newer"!
Car companies only care about your safety as much as it affects their bottom line. It's unfortunately commonplace for there to be known fatal flaws which occur infrequently enough that it's cheaper to just pay out the injured/killed victims than to issue a recall. Driving is inherently dangerous - any car companies that tried to fix everything would go bankrupt, or at least be squeezed out by those that don't.
Now, if only there were a way to build the places we live so that we didn't need to take on the risk of driving so frequently...
Ok hear me out. I've lived in the US and in Europe, and while Celsius makes sense for all sorts of things (cooking, car engines, PC temps...), I think Fahrenheit actually makes a surprising amount of sense for climate, indoor and outdoor.
While Celsius 0-100 is linked to the states of water, Fahrenheit is loosely a 0-100 on "how is this for a human to experience". 0°F is sorta the limit of "dang that's really cold" and 100°F is "dang that's really hot." And that's the whole reason we look at the weather report.
0-100°F also has more individual degrees than -18-38°C, and when a couple degrees can make a big difference for indoor comfort (or the heating bill), I appreciate more granularity.
Hey uhh.... Can I get the collection somewhere
