   I will say that there are businesses that has stepped out to fill this void: there are numerable “Internet/manga cafes”, that have private rooms where you have reclining chairs where you can nap; you can just rent a karaoke room for a

   Oh, I mean — that's a thing even in the densest parts of Tokyo, people (and not just tourists!) just have no concept of moving aside to not block the flow, frequently walk like 3/4-abreast and block the entire width of the stairs&

   One thing to add, which is the thing that surprised me: not only the trains stop; _there are no replacement bus services_. Where I'm from, where the rail services when they stop for the night, have _some_ replacement — you might need t

   My experience trying to get home from around 二丁目 says otherwise re/ availability, but I'll admit I might have given up too quickly.

   I think the killer feature for this will be if it's readily available at night, for reasonable prices. I love living here, but the "do we go home or stay out all night?" decision at ~23:30 when out sucks. If I could get acros

   I'm really curious what makes you say feel that way, if you can put it into words? I think his style is quite particular (I think I would compare it to patio11 a little bit?), and I understand it not being everyone's cup of tea; b

   One of us is making their coffee wrong, because my espresso making is definitely more inconvenient than a pour-over.

    I specifically meant the design of the headset. The renders of the Samsung device in the Verge article look _very_ close to Vision Pro, and unlike most of other AR/VR/XR/whateverR headsets on the market. And headsets aren&#x2

    I can't get over how much that Samsung headset is just "sure yeah copy my homework, just change a couple of things" version of Vision Pro.

    They do for larger planes; but commuter jets and most narrow bodies don’t have enough space in the belly for that.

    Are you _physically_ in the EU too? I'm surprised that this worked for you, my main Apple ID is a German one, with active CC/subscriptions/etc; but I am physically in Japan and definitely don't get to play Fortnite on my

    Because booting is relatively CPU-intensive, compared to being at idle. But iPhones do not boot in 7 seconds either — it's closer to 40. At least that's what it took on my 16 Pro Max right now when I tested it.

    My understanding of CarPlay is that it does offload GPS to the car (when available, not all units/manufacturers might support it).

    FWIW, this is on par with reviews for _anything_ in Japan. The fanciest and most recommended ramen shops don't crack 3.9 on local review sites, the mindset is completely different from "oh nothing went wrong, 5 stars I guess!&quot

    You probably want to add a notch or something that makes it impossible to put the "new" carts into the "old" slots; like they did for DS/3DS: http://i.imgur.com/OQLR0xM.jpg

    I do _feel_ european, and I think that's the closest I actually self-identify in some way; but I would also never answer a question like "where are you from?" with "Europe" or something like this? Feels pretentious,

    Yes, they could have just not fired the people and have ridden the AI wave all the same. Do you genuinely believe that the record profits are due to the layoffs, and not just because we just lucked out to enter a new bubble?

    My Levine backlog has grown to the size of multiple novels by now; but I guess I consider Derek's dunking on people in his replies as similar in spirit to Levine's making fun of weird crypto stuff and NFTs? Sure, one is less perso

    Because many of the VPNs have _their_ internal routing using 10.0.0.0/8. If the plane network uses 10.0.0.0/8; and then the VPN you're trying to connect to uses 10.0.0.0/8, stuff breaks.

    Isn't the proposed mechanism the same here? The stigma will/should go away, because more people will keep their earbuds in; because they will use them as hearing aids.

    Passkeys don't need to be hardware bound. The (probably?) most widespread implementation of them (iOS + macOS et. al) isn't; they're synced between devices.
