It’s ok. Google banned the terms “first class” and “second class”. Problem solved.

I got linked this list from a googler who was tired of wasting brain cycles on working out how to word comments in allowed ways.

Looks like dang censored this post. Was number one for a minute.

Maybe but this is rarely the option we pick in the world. Thousands of children could be saved yearly by lowering the speed limits on roads but we don’t do it. Thousands of non functional products can ruin the company while this event could

They don’t really get to complain that the machine didn’t stop when they fell if they didn’t wear the clip specifically made to stop that event. You can’t sue the bike company because you didn’t wear your helmet.

I think the question of “should the design have prevented this?” Would factor in. If someone doesn’t clip the safety cord to themselves and then trips and the machine keeps running and injures them, the only possible way to stop this kind o

A treadmill is a dangerous piece of equipment. Almost all of them have ways a child could seriously hurt themselves on while it’s running. Parents should be expected to keep their kids out of the room while it’s in use.

Acknowledging the problem means a very very costly recall when it’s easier and not entirely unrealistic to just instruct the customers to keep their kids away from the product while it’s in use.

If the user slips up they will pull the safety cutoff which is attached to their clothing which stops the treadmill.

These all introduce failure points for the product. Bit of dust floats under the treadmill and now it’s not working and you have an angry customer.

I don’t get why people get so up in arms over splitting out parts from products. Would they rather the price be bumped $49 and the charger come included and people who already have one buy a pointless charger? If you don’t have one then you

I’m pretty sure it’s all set up perfect. Almost all of my emails go through fine but every now and then google will spam one in the middle of a conversation with someone despite it containing no links or anything spam like.

How do I request google stop marking 1 in 30 of my emails as spam?

What does native control mean anyway? Isn’t GTK basically _the_ native controls of Linux?

It would be pretty easy to argue that the AP is practicing racism as well here. The article is pretty absurd as well. Their argument is they are not capitalising the word white because white people have not faced discrimination and it would

I understand the desire to offer a child friendly device but it’s pretty insane how they go even further and prevent adults from viewing this content. But I don’t believe discord has done the best they can here. Telegram has a similar restr

So the options are pick a phone loaded with spyware or pick a phone that doesn’t let you look at adult content. Not a very comforting choice.

Telegram has it that you have to log in to the web one and switch a toggle which will unblock content on the iOS app. Everyone just assumes iOS the app doesn’t allow it so the setting is spread via word of mouth. It’s honestly insane.

Usually these companies offer two plans, a monthly and a yearly deal. The yearly deal is cheaper because in the long run they profit more. When you cancel early you essentially pay all of the discount you got per month back.

Large software projects are almost as complex as cities and yet we have almost no one working on them. 4 developers can be enough to build a product used by millions. That’s kind of incredible IMO. 4 builders/architects/engineers

16gb is the standard high end spec, 32gb is the extreme edition which usually costs a fortune and is impossible to convince your company to buy, especially if multiple people need them. On 16GB I was constantly running out of memory at work

Comparing Bluetooth file share to airdrop might sound right on paper but the real world experience is very different. BT file share never worked consistently, was super slow, requires pairing the 2 devices together and a whole bunch of othe

I have to say that the dongles situation for iPads is so much better on USB c. The apple adapters cost a fortune compared to the USB c versions. I was blown away when I plugged a full laptop USB C hub in to my iPad Air 4 and was able to use

Tiles main business model is selling the hardware. They can sell an apple compatible version which will work incredibly and light years ahead of their current product, and then keep selling the base version for android users.

I imagine a lot of this stuff is only a risk in certain quantities or forms which you rarely encounter. I find it funny how many basic things we use in food have somewhat high scores on that hazard diamond.

The counter argument to this is that there are so many health conditions that are getting increasingly bad which we have no explanation for since so many things changed at the same time.

My mum was the same, including with plastic food containers. Turns out those are really bad as well. It’s also amazing how we continue to use products knowing they are toxic.

This is of course true but at some point you have to pick your battles. There is no FOSS product which does this and there probably never will be. And it’s not in Apple’s business model to try to collect this data.
