   I found a flip phone in the fry’s parking lot, my dad turned it in to security, who accepted it with a smirk. I had gone through it and wrote down the phone number belonging to the phone. We called the number a week later and the guy said n

   There’s a chance this catches on with some folks with blacklisted IMEI’s due to a quirk on AT&T MVNOs where service works for a few days before getting halted per IMSI.

   For everyone? I mean it doesn’t seem to apply to Apple, need it apply to Google or Samsung?

   They don’t give the customer access to it, for probably an obvious reason.

   “Code interpreter” is a product feature the customer can use that isn’t being discussed. They can obviously support it internally, and the feature exists for ChatGPT, but they’re choosing not to expose that combo in the API yet because of p

   Yeah, that is the axis. And turns out I didn’t just stumble upon an unconsidered edge case because I got accepted into a drug trial and activated my galaxy brain: Allan Norwich, The Clinical Trial Research Participant As An Inside Trader

   Thanks, it was kind of frustrating especially as my first contact with a blog.

   You can choose on the share sheet, right? I’m referring to this: - select something in Photos, then Share. - tap “Options” under “1 photo selected” top of sheet. The first choice there is: Format: [√] Automatic [] Current [] Most Compatible

    I buy gift cards often - if I know I’m going to spend money on Uber, why not give myself 25% off $100 before even any actual promotions are applied?

    I wouldn’t kneecap a OS project I wish to be adopted by licensing it GPL. Look at glibc which basically can’t practically support static linking. You make any of your OS standard libraries GPL and they need to suck to use and can’t statical

    I stand corrected. I didn’t realize you could be a MIMBY for cell towers and also not currently have service . Any organized resistance I’ve witnessed myself in the US has been something like an HOA saying no not tucked right here where ou

    Not literally no signal/service, right? More likely “I have a few bars but data doesn’t seem to work… calls often won’t initiate unless 911?” thing you get when there’s too many devices connecting to an overburdened tower, in a network

    How did you save me a click? Those bits were in this article. The guy that located the original report saved me some time. You could only save somebody time if they skipped the content and started doing comments on HN anyhow, but that’s not

    Are you me? I always go back and get it on a next try, and maybe also like tried to bail when I saw it was the wrong card after double side buttoning, which maybe means I need to reset the state of the payment screen, but then need to wait,

    Oh, TIL. I guess in this case it couldn’t have been since you can’t submit if too long but I was unaware.

    HN doesn’t do it but it does have a character limit: go to the submission form and paste the original title (“Did Lead Limit Brain and Language Development in Neanderthals and Other Extinct Hominids?”) and you’ll see too long . People lazi

    I was surprised it didn’t have a good 1:1 for certain units. Like a meter, is really easily imagined as the height of a doorknob on a door.
