How do you get k9 to synchronize mail in the background? It seems to be broken and there were no working solution everywhere I looked. I have to go into the app and manually trigger inboxes to refresh. Even with background sync enabled.

Most enterprise ThinkPads (X, P, T, W) and their HP counterparts (elite book IIRC) are solidly built and very much user serviceable. Do your research or course but those are solid contenders and easy to find as enterprise customers are leas

The Borg/Attic/HN discounted price is a quarter of the regular price IIRC. Well worth it IMHO. They're reliable, answer emails very fast, and are happy to provide technical help should you need it to configure your system.

Maybe, that would make sense. In any case, I quit playing the amazon lottery altogether personally.

My understanding is that this water needs to be produced, that is taken from a source, processed, cleaned, pumped into pipes, etc. It means that you eventually have to divert and dry up rivers, lakes, or underground reserves to produce the

Chances are that if your employer demands you give up your rest time to satisfy some business need they have, they don't care about your well-being at all; and showing them this article won't change their mind. You'd be bette

You would be well advised to never ever get anything you depend on from Amazon, especially not things to protect lives or ensure safety. Amazon has an incredible problem with counterfeits, but also with quality control: they often will sell

To some extent, ambulance is usually not covered by the oui plan (but an order of magnitude cheaper than in the US), prescription medicines aren't 100% (but also much much cheaper than in the US anyway), neither is dental or vision. Bu

It does matter. It sends a message, and it frees your mind to use a cliché. If you don't have a Facebook account anymore, it's easier to get over the dopamine addiction because you can't log into an account that you don'

Not necessarily, some items have only one listing for all sellers and you click the buy button that has the prime logo. Who are you buying from in this case as far as Amazon is concerned for their inventory accounting?

Maybe, but how biased is the population? People in the army do a lot more physical exercise than most, people in jail have a different way of living than the rest of the population because of their circumstances.

So then how do they decide which of the comingled sellers got the sale? Round Robin? Random?

I remember reading that it's because they're impossible to do: the only option would be to lock people up in a room and only feed them exactly the same food on a schedule for months.

Because most people can't understand research or how it's done, so there is not enough pressure to change anything. I found the books by Ben Goldacre to be enlightening. He has a ted talk as well I believe.

This is the reason why I quit buying anything from Amazon anymore if I can help it. They're not interested in fixing it. What I can't understand is this: even if they comingle, they must know which seller owns which item. If they
