Is the opportunity “once in a lifetime” or can you find alternatives like Europe?
Generally speaking, opportunities are difficult to find and if you let go of one, depending on what kind of opportunity it is, you might get another one in a few years, or decades, or never. Depending on what line of work you’re in, European opportunities aren’t comparable to American ones either. Tech industry in Europe is in a laughable state, for an example.
Who the fuck thought it’d be a good idea to hold the world cup in the US, a country that doesn’t even give a fuck about football?
Everyone who actually owns one says they’re keeping theirs for years and see no need to upgrade, but go on.
You have a valid point if you say this for all smart watches though. None will last half a century like a proper watch.
Cybertruck isn’t allowed in the EU anyway so our regulatory agencies and courts have no power over it. Plus they could just enable it in EU and keep disabled in US if there was a verdict in the EU court system that they have to honor their original terms.
Skype didn’t fumble it, Microsoft just doesn’t know how to strategy. When they bought Skype, they killed MSN and told people to move to Skype, whereas they should’ve integrated the two to make the transition seamless. Then they had both Teams and Skype for Business at the same time by the time COVID happened.
They messed up on every turn.
Honestly I’d just suggest telling your ex-wife that it’s email only from now on.
MacOS has weirdly fast paging and shit, you don’t feel the lack of RAM immediately. But in the long run it’ll kill your (also soldered) SSD so that’s even worse for heavy users.
I think phone apps have more to play with as well nowadays. A Galaxy A55 can have 12 gigs of RAM now. That used to be considered overkill for even flagships, let alone midrange phones, just a few years ago. Plus both operating systems will suspend apps running in the background when needed.
Also the only time I’ve heard “memory is cheap” used IRL was in backend development. Because it’s cheap to scale up memory on your servers, but not cheap to spend a day or 2 hyperoptimizing a solution that’s fast enough. Dev time is expensive.
if you make your payment processing website unusable on 3 year old mid-range Android because adding 10 MB more Javascript increases ✨Development Velocity✨, there’s a special place in hell for you.
Look, I hate bloated websites too (in fact I hate most websites in general, give me a native desktop app that doesn’t use Electron or Webview!), but if a 3 year old midrange Android gives you trouble loading things, maybe blame the manufacturer. I flashed a custom rom on a 2019 Oneplus 7 Pro and it’s super fast now compared to the last version of the official ROM that it got. It’s my secondary device. Primary is an iPhone that’s 2 years old and showing any signs of slowing down.
Wake me up when there’s a system out there where I don’t need money to buy a home or go on vacation somewhere warm when it’s -30 outside. Unfortunately I don’t have a trust fund, so for now it’s work rather than drinking every day and tons of extremely shallow friendships. To be clear, I’m not saying I don’t have friends, I’m just saying I no longer have hundreds of people on Facebook I could just randomly message “what’s up” to without it being considered weird. Now it’s down to maybe 10-20 people who would help me hide a body if I called them at 3 AM.
The one and only good thing about having less friends than in my teens is that I have more time to focus on work, which makes me money (directly proportional to how much I bill my clients). That and being able to move off Facebook because my friends are on Signal and Telegram.
Now, Zuck thinks I want fake AI friends so I could spend hours per day on Messenger again? Hell nah. I’ll go grab a beer in the pub or message one of my remaining real friends. If I dedicate my life to chatbots, I’ll soon have even fewer.
I watched the car headlight one. I’m pretty sure it’s not your fault it took longer than specified. The kit should’ve started with smaller grit numbers. They had you start with 2000, I FINISHED the sanding part with 2000 before the polish when I did my own headlamps on one of my cars. Though I didn’t use a kit, I went to a parts store and just picked out the products I needed.
Also if you do need to do it again and want to get a kit again, some have drill attachments, making your life significantly easier. They’re not expensive either.
Anyway, nice video. Hope you’ll continue to make them, though on PeerTube I don’t imagine you getting rich off it. I think having fun and populating the fediverse with content are good goals all on their own.
Can those be watched somewhere? I love me some repair videos. Cars mostly but other stuff is great too.
What DO you use? There’s literally three usable browsers out there, one mismanages its finances, one is Apple and one is responsible for the entire web browsing experience turning to shit because they run the browser that everyone uses so they can just ignore the W3 specs and other browsers get the blame when they don’t adopt Google’s tracking-riddled APIs.
Are we at the end of the operating system development cycle? A browser is an operating system that abstracts away your operating system, at this point.
Anyway, there’s a lot of ad tech and tracking stuff to be implemented. You’ll love it, Google decided so.
Literally canceled because of that change. Fuck them.
I canceled Super and uninstalled when they started telling me to get Max. My friends canceled and uninstalled today because of this news.
We might be a small minority but I do giggle at the thought that Duolingo is gonna have to build AI customers soon because nobody will want to use it.
Was the N bomb considered a bad thing in Sweden at the time? Here in Estonia it’s the young people of today who see it as a bad thing, people in their 40s and up see it as completely normal because it’s just always been normal to use it. Like the word is in the dictionary and doesn’t have a “vulgar” tag
I’m not American either. It was an extremely hypothetical scenario.
Gates is always whitewashing his own future or past actions when he does something philanthropic tbh
