This thing is bizarre. It reads and looks like the standard "use trappings of actual science to sell bullshit", except they don't seem to be selling anything? To be "charitable", maybe someone multiplied the solar n

Exactly same issue a few years ago with The Times in the UK, with the ringing and very odd restricted availability hours, except they also said it was “technically impossible” to cancel without charging three more “monthly” charges. I cance

Does anyone know any good guides for being aware of these things, strategies used by scammers, and what to be suspicious of? Something that isn't patronisingly simple, but not aimed at teach expert users either. > “But as it turned

That was 2004, so not a very busy agent... I’m slightly shocked with the phrasing in that post “It is definitely possible that someone could install a virus on your machine by just being in the same server.” That.... seems like a pretty sho

I find a git-gui is useful to visualise complex workflows, merge mistakes that have been pushed to the repository, and relative status of various branches simultaneously. That, and the per-chunk/line staging is very useful to do visual

It doesn't 100% remove the need for a manual clean/vacuum completely, you still have to run over the places it doesn't get - occasionally - and yes obviously it doesn't do raised surfaces, windowsills, stairs or the uppe

Both FF73 and Chrome, on mac, messes up for me. It's most noticeable on Comic-book-guy but many of the later ones are messed up to various degrees, mainly hair/whiskers, sometimes spurious lines/strokes outside the main image

Right, people don’t want to manually patch their speakers, but people probably don’t want to throw them out after a few years either. In any case, presumably in this proposed scenario secondary service industries would pop up to do this for
