One of my first Game Boy (Color?) games was a sub combat game. I think it was the first thing I ever ordered off amazon.

I travel in Japan a lot and quite frankly Booking/Agoda have been comparable in most cases and extremely accessible for making reservations and even communicating with hotel staff. I used to use sites like Expedia for flights but latel

At my first job almost 10 years ago we had the concept of "X-in-a-box" using Vagrant + VMs and I miss that pattern so much ever since (multiple job skips later). None of my jobs since have had any semblance of a better way to set

As someone who’s spent their entire life in california near these types of fires and someone who recently visited the Hiroshima memorial museum, this take is pretty disingenuous.

perhaps it goes without saying but they don’t only employ front line store staff.

oh i’m not saying i’d use valet mode for literal valets.. but even when the car is at a shop for work.

Something similar happened to me. i wanted to learn guitar, so my sister’s friend lent me his fairly cheap Stratocaster IIRC, and after some months we were going to move pretty far away. we tried contacting the friend to give him back the g

heh I have the same car. was thinking of doing the same.. but like mentioned earlier I want that valet setting feature and stuff. tough choice.

yeah, you can. but I work from home and don't drive every day. sometimes I want to make sure I don't have a slow leak or something.

I believe my new car has a fuse you can pull to disable the remote telemetry. However, it disables some useful features, like being able to set valet mode from the Toyota app (useful because some dealer service departments will take cars jo

A few years back I left one of the FAANG companies after the first two covid years and had no job lined up for about 9 months. I spent the first 3-4 months learning swift, iOS development, and hacking on an app project. It was probably some

My dog has a Fi GPS/cellular collar. You could just get that and leave it on at night and it would show you where your dog wanders around.

They've been around quite a while now and have always seemed to have sturdy looking designs.

That's an interesting experience. I also had him as a professor a while back and he was awful. He was always looking at his phone or computer especially during project presentations and completely ignoring what anyone said. He also did

I had to disable it on my 16 Pro the other day. My phone was freezing or rebooting at least once per day and on a whim I disabled Intelligence. Since then I've had zero problems. I wasn't even using it much. So whatever it does in

You can but I think people like the human element that "someone" has put this whole thing together. At my events for that club, I don't lead anything at the event. I basically make sure people aren't causing any trouble

>But, at the end of the day, someone has to find a place and pick a date and let people know. You don't even have to go crazy with any of those, you could pick a coffee shop or restaurant, unless you get real popular. This is exactl

The community leaders in this scenario aren't leading the meeting. I guess it depends on the format of said meeting. In my case, they really just set the location and time, in addition to making sure nobody is causing trouble, litterin

I'd consider the demographics of people who regularly visit HN. Not to put a slight on anyone but I think a good chunk of people on here probably don't enjoy in-person meetups. Again, IME it's not the size of the meetup but t

I run a club for a certain car. The thing is, people generally don't want to be responsible for organizing meetups. Many will happily attend but not host. My guess is you need to find community leaders who can handle and own the respon

Everybody has different learning styles and it's almost condescending to say "well, this method that works well for you is a fallacy, try my method".

Sometimes it's for a sound system or some other wired feature someone installs from aftermarket stuff. When they sell the car, it's easier to remove the added system and leave the switch.

A lot of used cars have something like this. I'm honestly more surprised OP apparently bought the car either sight unseen or without questioning this before signing any paperwork.

Something to consider, adobe Lightroom has a feature coupled with adobe portfolio (iirc that's the name of the product) where if you use Lightroom you can turn albums into sites. Similar idea on paper. May be useful to compare how thei

Non-issue. There are thousands of GR Corollas and GR Yaris on the road now, the Yaris being released back in 2020 or so. Of the two that burned down both had questionable histories. One had been in an accident of some sort and not all detai

A friend of mine in Japan recently needed a lawyer to quit their job. Very unusual to me, being an American.

Except in this case it's clearly affecting at minimum the rest of OP's team. At that point it's not one person being obnoxious and never approving their team members diffs and more of a team effort to do so. But at minimum if
