The problem is not that they don't work, it's that they can't ever be touched again because it's impossible for anything to understand the code.

Because they don't need to, not necessarily because they can't.

But it's still an extra overhead that you need to first understand, instead of just writing a JS file with your code and then loading it.

If it's not something super critical in my experience the simpler solution is better for longterm or fool-proof backups. E.g. if I use some special backup software that creates incremental archives or whatever, and then I die... My fam

Same here. I will give them a try after the official OS will no longer receive security updates... But if it causes issues I'll just buy a new phone.

My elderly parents especially have problems with buttons that need 2 steps to press them. E.g. in Whatsapp if the other party wants to start a video call, a small button will pop up that just shakes around and needs to be pulled up. They us

A pirate group that was known for releasing movies in small files, but with a decent quality.

Also it's not even better. I have a netflix and disney+ account, and sometimes still watch their series on pirate streaming sites because it's less of a hassle. E.g. I can't watch HD disney+ in firefox. And netflix sometimes

Yeah either there is a central "source of truth" or all distributed copies have to always be kept in sync somehow. I don't understand all those people that romanticize "distributed" things but then just stop thinkin

How would that even work without merging all the relevant changes at some point? If I want to use some open source software, I don't want to connect to every single forked repository to see if they might have local changes that I could

Literally the placeholder text (the ice-cream shop) doesn't produce any sensible results. Shipped too fast I guess ._.

The knowledge from reading all the docs won't be really "usable" but it gives you a vague, almost subconscious idea of all the things that exist and how they interact with eachother.

It's still a systematic "issue"... If it is virtually impossible to find a great or optimal move (even given enough time) without having to memorize tons of specific situations first that's kinda annoying. It's a s

For the love of God this is an alternative to Google Play Books, not to a desktop software.

That reminds me of that Dropbox discussion, where some guy said it's not worth it because he can easily replace it with some FTP server.

If screws seem seized up make sure that your screwdrivers tips are properly shaped.

by Double_a_92 3y ago
A set of small screwdrivers (at least one 0.8mm and one 1.2mm or so), pointy tweezers and a movement holder should be all you need to try the hobby out. The screwdrivers and tweezers should be of good quality though, at least get the ones t

> These things are designed to be taken apart This is so true. I used to repair phones and other gadgets before starting with watch repair... and I was kinda scared to take apart something filigree like a watch because it surely would ne

Yeah they make it sound like Twitch installed hidden webcams in everyones bedroom or something...

Why would they need a permission to watch something that you are publicly streaming?

I have literally never in my life received or left a voicemail, or even know someone who ever did... and I also wouldn't expect anyone to listen to the one I leave on their phone.

I wonder if school kids could be those missionaries. Especially with the difficult signup, it could create like an "elite" social circle of people that made it... Leading to word-of-mouth advertisement because everyone is helping

The difference is that with your real-life social bubble you try to not embarrass yourself, so you only discuss your more moderate views with them. While on the internet if you support some extremistic view, you can just shout it out withou

We should just say X. Not "X (formerly Twitter), not X-itter, or anything. It's called X, if that name is stupid and unclear that's on them.

In my experience with my elderly parents this absolutely won't work. If anything it's more complex since different things, are now hidden in one magic box. She probably won't understand that e.g. Netflix and Hulu are differen

Is it just me getting older / less smart, or did articles about products really start to sound like a jumbled mess or buzzwords lately? What is "Hardware transport", what is "the ecosystem"? And then there is dozens

I don't understand how that needs a special tax though. Wouldn't the more obvious choice be to just tax all wealth/assets? E.g. where I live it's just assumed that all your assets produce a yield of 4% yearly, and that
