Also it is hilariously difficult to decline a call on Google dialer.

It’s as simple as swiping down on the screen. I agree it’s a little under-sensitive if you try to swipe down from the circle with the icon at the bottom. But you can swipe down from anywhere on the screen and it will decline the call.

“Lockup” is an investment term. When a company has an IPO (Initial Public Offering, which is the day they become publically available for stock trades), the big shareholders and company employees who are invested ahead of the IPO are “locked” from selling their shares for a certain number of days. This isn’t required, but most companies having an IPO end up having a lockup period set as well.

In regards to this headline, it just means that the initial investors and big shareholders are now free to sell their shares, which they are apparently doing in droves!

That’s why American conservative patriots love eagles so much

It goes much deeper than just coffee shops and other public wifi. There are people in oppressive countries that have to use VPNs to get around their country-wide bans of certain sites, such as anything that provides access to information. Reddit used to be a sanction for tons of information sharing. But now, with Reddit going public, they have to appeal to their shareholders, who probably have business or other deals in those oppressive countries. So, even if Reddit is simply trying to force users to be trackable, it still behooves the shareholders to make information and knowledge more difficult to access to certain people.

Nobody said anything about Resolve being bad. The topic of this conversation and community is Open Source, so a closed source suggestion was not relevant.

Yep, advertiser don’t care how they got those clicks. They just want the numbers to go up so they feel like their “investment” is doing something. Tricking people into thinking it’s user content, showing half naked girls for a dumb mobile gambling game, showing fake products… they don’t care. Advertisers only have one thought: “Hurr Durr Numbers Go Brr”

I’m also thinking this is the case, especially since the kid’s hat still has a tag on it. I imagine that would be a gift shop purchase.

… once education is restructured almost entirely.

Not sure how you got “get rid of” from that statement…

In this economy??

Fabricated poverty and homelessness, medical and educational debts, corporate greed and consumerism, accumulating environmental issues that nobody with the ability to make change is willing to pursue, non-stop wars, political turmoil…

I don’t know. I think the dead have it better.

At least they’ll be nice and tight instead of all stretched out. Those grandparents’ bootstraps were never pulled.

We have a Shark robot vacuum, so I called it Sharknado.

Your skin is crawling? That’s not what skin is supposed to do. You should sell it. I know a website that will buy it from you.

Don’t use GoDaddy though. I was searching for a domain on that site and after a few minutes it was taken.

There are reasons to avoid GoDaddy, but what you experienced isn’t really a GoDaddy-specific problem. If a domain gets registered on one provider, it will be unavailable on all providers. Unless you are accusing them of falsely saying they were taken but are available for purchase at a premium. I don’t think I’ve heard of them doing that, but who knows what kind of greedy tactics corporations will try these days.

These little ejector tools are useful for more than just SIM cards. CD/DVD ROM drives have force eject buttons inside tiny little holes that these can reach and push. Many hardware reset buttons are also hidden inside tiny holes.

You could use an unfolded paperclip in a pinch. One of my air purifiers has a reset button inside a hole that is slightly too thin for the paper lips I have on hand. But the SIM ejector tool I keep around fits perfectly.

Some people are so desperate for affirmation that this is entirely feasible.

Nobody needs a smartwatch. The question really is: “Will a smartwatch benefit me?” I can’t speak to everyone’s use case, but for me it’s been really useful for my cycling. I have an LTE smartwatch, so it’s nice that I can leave my phone in the car or at home and still track my cycling (with GPS and heart rate monitoring). Less bulk for me to carry around, and I’m protecting my significantly more expensive phone from potential falls or crashes.

This is great for my regular exercise cycling because I don’t really need my phone camera or anything with me while doing my regular routes. Just the ability to make and receive a call if I need to and track my cycling performance. And since the watch can also pair with my Bluetooth headphones, I can download a couple podcast episodes and keep myself entertained. Again, all without my more expensive, bulkier phone.

Just like any consumer device, not everybody needs it. You find the right devices that make your routines more convenient.

The saying is “vote with your wallet”. It just means that if you are unhappy with what a company is doing, stop buying their products.

That’s very informative! Thank you!

but I personally will not touch a mouse because, frankly, the “useful data per mouse” ratio is way too low for me to justify using mice.

Are there any alternatives you work with, or do you abstain completely from those kinds of experiments?
