I agree. And between these practices, ads everywhere for services such as Apple TV+, Music, iCloud storage, etc and some feeling that software quality is declining and focused on fluff (emojis, etc) I have decided to start looking around fo

In Portugal here. Lost power about 1 hour ago. Reading the news while batteries last.

It would, but it would also decrease the video quality. I'm not opposed to letting my kids watch YouTube, there is a lot of good quality content there, but having some agency in what they pick would be a lot better than the current beh

I never got used to shorts/reels/etc, but it is troubling to see kids addicted to them. I have been thinking that by forcing some pause between videos it would remove some of their addictiveness.

I would love to degrade my YouTube experience and make it slower when switching videos, would make it a lot less addictive specially with shorts.

In the short term yes, but I think other companies/countries would get there eventually. Not that landing rockets is easy, but proving it could be done was the hardest part.

I feel the same. I love space and used to love what SpaceX is doing but Musk made it a lot less appealing. Will still read about it but watching a live stream for hours? Forget about it. I also like EVs and I have been close to getting a Te

That is not what I said but perhaps I should make things clearer. Changing things is an option if all else fails, not change at first sign of distress. We have one life and once it's gone, it's gone, so in my view we should try to

From the outside we can see longe marriages as cute, but that is only that. Better switch partners and seek hapinness than to live in a bad marriage. People change and so should relationships if the people in it don't find them suitabl

People and personal relationships are complex, and completely irrelevant to the topic in discussion.

Same for me. The new model Y is sweet, even keeps the indicator stalk, but I can't buy one and knowingly be supporting Musk. Keeping my diesel for a bit longer and eventually buy an EV from any another brand. EU, Korea, China, plenty o

Still have my LQ 100 in my parents attic, perhaps I could do something like this. Sadly I don't have the paper feeder (I only used A4 paper with it).

Mea culpa, you are right! I forgot about that.

I think this message was sent after the landings happened and after Jupiter's ignition. When they were stranded in Europa it was still an icy moon. For those wondering, this is from 2010, the sequel book/movie to 2001 a Space Odys

Kind of related, the days when I pick weeds from my lawn I’ll see the weeds for hours when I close my eyes or even just flashes with my eyes open. I guess the weed picking activity stresses my pattern recognition and it continues working af

One of my kids was born with a slight hearing loss and I think this is huge. We got from the local health service some basic hearing aids that cost around 1000 euro but we are contemplating buying some high-end Phonak devices that are aroun

not related to HP, but in the same way German officials were found to have corrupted Portuguese politicians over the purchase of 3 submarines, yet the Portuguese police didn't find any wrongdoing. https://corruption-tracker.

In Portugal it is indeed very expensive, but one we have to deal with. There are no free alternatives to some routes. For example, one of the most common route in and out of Portugal (if not the most common), A25/E80, has no free alter

Impressive that all this happened after many uneventful flights of this vehicle. Makes STS-1 even more impressive. Huge respect for John Young and Bob Crippen.

Of course I can. Add cleaning water, check oil levels, replace a light bulb. No much else I can do, but others may, and other won't even do any of this. Point is, this is not a binary choice. Between user and developer there are many p

Isn't it just a name? A user can easily enable the developer tools if needed, same way I'm not a mechanic but can open the hood of my car.

To be fair, Safari has a user-agent switcher built-in. Just enable the developer tools. Not all Apple users are clueless.

Other things may matter more than the diversity of a big city: being close to family or friends, cost of life, less traffic, simpler life. To me, this weighed much more I moved from a big-ish city to a much smaller one. And I can always vis
