Right, pretty sure people got their accounts shut down for doing this kinda thing in the early days of OpenClaw before it was renamed and when it supported login. I guess you can take your chances but API is probably the only safe way to us

I think this may have been inspired by “Thomas Gon’ Give It To Ya” which came out two years earlier: https://youtu.be/xFSwIw-_-as Pretty sure this one inspired a whole bunch of rap songs mixed with the Thomas theme song. Th

Maybe it is fear mongering, but the points raised are valid issues mainly caused by the American health care system. In Japan where I live, drugs that Americans are used to getting over the counter like Tylenol are prescription and no one t

Spot on, the 10,000 free limit is much more limiting than many people think. I've seen very small businesses of even 3-4 people lose tons of institutional knowledge just because they wouldn't pay for slack. With larger tech groups

Along similar lines some of the best services and products I have experience in Japan have been from organizations and companies that declare themselves as communist. One example, the best child daycare in my Japanese city (in my opinion) w

Indeed, I don't even know any Japanese people that use the kana keys. I don't know the recent data but in 2009 there was a study that found only 12% of Japanese people used kana input. Something that is disappointing about these k

Recently replaced my 2012 MBA battery, the batteries are quite cheap and the replacement is surprisingly quick and easy on this model. About a five minute job, you can buy the battery with the needed tools here: https://www.ifixi

To add to this, the bad software support had very real performance implications as well. I was surprised to see benchmarks where the Pi 3 dominated boards that very clearly beat it on paper

? They do that in my Japanese town of Kumagaya but that is for the kids to go home because it is getting dark. It changes to 4 or 5pm depending on the time of year. Are you sure that music is to remind adults that it is time to go home?

In case this is a serious question and not a joke (unclear which it is) then he may be saying that older movies and shows had these longer intros that seemed normal at the time, but if you watch them again now they seem long and boring now.

To be clear there is only one lens on the rear of this pixel and every other pixel ever made. They have never had a dual-lens rear camera. The Pixel 3 had a front dual-camera but still just a single rear camera.

There is more to it than this, like everything else there is a history of pockets. This article makes a good case for why the "history of pockets isn’t just sexist, it’s political": https://www.vox.com/2016/9&

Yes, they are all written the same. This is not too much of an issue as not only do sites like Amazon ask for the pronunciation of your name, most any important paper form would have it as well. In more informal contexts you would just have

Technically, he probably can install crouton but that isn't such a good idea in a school environment as you need to enable developer mode on the device and you lose some of the security features of Chrome OS.

I think you're talking about the Minila Air, I removed that sugguestion as I noticed that it actually had 6 keys right of space. The keyboard I left has the correct number of keys on each side of the spacebar and arrows are separated:

iMessage is nice but can't communicate fully (more than basic SMS/MMS) with roughly 85% of the active cell phones in the world. iCloud Photos really isn't as good. The AI features, face recognition, free backup is all better

Hmm, 4 keys left of space and 5 to right is a really specific requirement. My Filco TKL JIS(Japanese Layout) has this and I made it fully reprogrammable using the Pegasus Hoof from here: http://bathroomepiphanies.com/control

Agree with you 100%. I think all of Apple's online services are garbage (and I used them since iTools), most of their applications aren't so good either. Thankfully, their OSes get out of the way and are mostly pleasant to use, go

Yes, this is a photography site, what looks nice has a good chance of being more important than what is correct. Also, breaking up a word doesn't make it gibberish, it is a bit less legible surely. We do this all the time though in Eng

Of course I realize that it is the title of the work and I also know that it is standard Japanese (I've lived in Japan for 9 years and currently live there). What I mean by stylistic is that the katakana title only serves as visual flo
