so what? Regular users (whatever they are) don't know or care that a mac is unix under there somewhere. At moments like these i feel the loss of the nokia N900 that was glibc, gtk+ linux all the way down and up. Best phone I ever owned

what are they getting for the poor visibility tradeoff compensated by electronics? I have no idea. If it's safety, then yes, that would be progress.

The other Psmith books are a growing up progression to that one. Psmith was his adopted daughter's fav so he stopped while young and beautiful like she did. Mike and Psmith is a proper YA school story which was where Wodehouse started.

There's a metric ship-ton of research papers produced every year. Set your prior on which ones you read. This research paper /could/ be high quality, but given the sheer amount of incredible BS that has been published using v

Yup the only option they have is to treat customers like dung and aren't they committed to it? It's impressive. No other possible legal choice. That's a new one you're not a customer because middleman so can be no issue

I think your prior about the probability "dell messing up" needs some adjusting based on experience there. If Amazon are crapping on dell's brand that is 100% Dell's problem to solve. As soon as they see the receipt they

I strongly doubt the warranty period expired from first sale. I strongly doubt there was a previous sale. More likely Dell screwed up their warranty database. But sure, Amazon suck very hard. Dell are at least as bad. Who do you talk to &#x

by harry8 3y ago
"expired" meaning Dell arbitrarily decided that they didn't want to honor their warranty because of course they didn't. Bought as new but so what? Resale doesn't magically make their products any more or less crap.

by harry8 3y ago
What nonsense is this? The monitor is within the warranty period and failed. Dell didn't deal with their warranty issue in an honest and direct way. They suck. No other details matter. The end.

Dell pushed a bios update that silently turned my expensive laptop into a machine that could not be used as a laptop because when I did, ie, closed the lid without shutting it down and put it in my bag it fried the mobo and subsequently wou

I've loathed Elon since the Thai cave fiasco but I think this is entirely fair.

Yup and when I wrote that I was only thinking of the asymmetric payoff and had forgotten how much stolen money he donated to the powerful who don't want to give it back. Now that /should/ be totally irrelevant but will it be?

Disagree. Amoral trader, who always acted like an amoral trader, continues to act like an amoral trader. He's always been calculating and clever. You did see this, right? https://unusualwhales.com/politics/article&

He's going to jail for many years, this is really unlikely to increase that duration to parole or change the facility to supermax but is a long shot, hail mary at reducing things or even getting off. Why not? Classic asymmetric payoff.

No way. Playing by the book it's an easy, open and shut case that he loses very badly badly. No other conceivable outcome that way. His only option is to throw the book out and create as much chaos as possible so prosecutors are faced

You have to want it to succeed and do some work to make it function the way you want. It does work if you care to put some time into it when you're /learning/ how it all works. I did, works great for me but isn't my nirv
