I also have some more questions, such as: * how do you provide me with health insurance and other governmental benefits? * for the purposes of anything official, am I as an individual technically unemployed? * how do you provide me with ret

Ah, that would make sense. It is indeed a bluetooth connection and it scans for any nearby devices. Thank you for clarifying that, I appreciate it, and I feel a lot better about the app!

My biggest pet peeve is optional runtime permissions that are not optional. I have a CO2 monitor that you read through an android app. It cost like $250. If you don't give it geolocation permission, it just says "this app needs ge

I love mynoise.net! Am a very happy monthly donor. My two main use cases: 1. mixing "white rain" with "88 keys" to focus at work 2. downloaded an hour-long "white rain" to use as background noise for my newborn

I wish the same. In general when I need to call a local business (plumber, electrician, pizza delivery, etc.) the easiest way I know how is to look them up on google maps, then hit "call". It seems... silly... to basically have to

Generally, no. GDPR specifically carves out keeping data for "legitimate business needs" including fraud prevention and so on. Whatever data Ebay (thinks it) has about this person that they are using to enforce the ban would be da

If I had to complain about something, the three things that I wish were different about are: 1. the red background behind the hardware switches on the "disconnected" side of the webcam and microphone (yes, it has a separate hardwa

From my perspective, besides modularity and repairability and all that, Framework succeeded in doing something that no other laptop manufacturer has succeeded at: it has produced a laptop that fails to do anything that I hate. Every other l

That was my biggest potential concern before getting one. Now that I've been using one for a while I can confidently say: I strongly prefer 3:2, and I will never get another laptop with a 16:9 monitor.

On my team, a couple of us started coming in on (most) Wednesdays. Slowly, more and more of us just started coming in on Wednesdays because it was fun to have a day where we would all hang out together / have lunch together / etc.

Would this not necessarily require training it on a large body of real CSAM? Seems like it would be a non-starter.

Timezones are based on who you do business with, and who you primarily need to coordinate with. Timezones aren't inherently anything, they're purely a measure that humans use to make our lives more convenient. If you want to arg

I expect you're right. I think a number of these sections were copied from a similar page on COVID-19, e.g. in the section about preparing early, it refers to the emergency as a pandemic: > Remember that not everyone can afford to r

I think it looks like plagiarism. You can't just write "The following examples are taken from this great [other article]" and then proceed to copy the entire other article, swapping synonyms like you're in 9th grade and

I admire the enthusiasm, but no. This is happening to all universities that used Google to provide email and drive space for students and faculty. For the University of Texas alone, there are approximately 270,000 affected accounts. I perso

Yeah. I guess when you promise a perpetual account to all students for life, that adds up quick. New policy is 5GB for active students faculty and staff, and 1GB for alumni, retirees, and former students. > As of November 2021, UTmail is

Oof. Back a few years ago when I was in grad school (University of Texas) they went all in telling everyone to use Google Drive for everything because we were getting unlimited storage for life. Last week they just sent out an email saying

Indeed, cookies are only a tiny part of it. Add-on isolation, separate bookmarks, separate history / url-bar autocomplete, etc.

If you use multiple profiles (e.g. i have a "personal" and a "work" profile), the experience is pretty bad -- if you close all windows of one profile, it considers itself as "exited" and overwrites the program

Annoyance 3 -- or something very similar -- is going to be the case for any bluetooth headset. There simply isn't enough bandwidth in a bluetooth connection to have a high quality audio stream and a microphone stream going at the same

Wouldn't solve the problem. Basically you need the integrated components to have shorter transition times. These are an inherent property of the component: speeding up the transition time basically means "replace this component wi
