Rant: I have all my shitify notifications turned off in the app. But, I still get those obnoxious "concert near you" banner that pushes the display down (changing all the button locations that I have memorized) and doesn't disapeered ubtil you click the tiny x.

It drives me bonkers.

I pay for family and am considering moving everyone to deezer out of spite

Always42··on I don't want to spend my one precious life dealing with Google's AI search
can you explain? From my understanding firefox is owned by mozilla?
Always42··on I don't want to spend my one precious life dealing with Google's AI search
Yes, use firefox or something not chromium based people!

We don't want all the other browsers dying, then google requiring you to use chrome to view youtube, google, gmail, etc.

Always42··on Wendy's Is Introducing Uber-Style 'Surge Pricing'
>if you don't care paying for the premium then it's obviously a privilege for you.

I did not say that. I said I have no problem with dynamic pricing.

plane flights are cheaper at bad times. If everyone wants to eat at noon it potentially induces a big load on Wendys, e.g. more people staffing the counter. If you can financially motivate people to spread the load or rather "flatten the curve" it may increase efficiency.

But, not here for a flame war. For the record, yes I am stable financially, and that probably adds bias to my thoughts.

Always42··on Wendy's Is Introducing Uber-Style 'Surge Pricing'
Personally have no problem with dynamic pricing, its how the rest of the world operates, lol.

But, not a fan of touch screen order kiosks. Not sanitary, and I work on tech all day the last thing I want to do is use a computer at a restaurant. But, im sure there are a bunch of people who hate interacting and probably love it. When I go to mcdonalds, I will wait extra for a person to come up to the register.

Always42··on Plasticity through patterned ultrasound-induced brainwave entrainment in mice
great non-answer :)
Always42··on KiCad 8.0
yes, trying out kicad from altium, this is a welcome change.
Always42··on KiCad 8.0
I use altium professionaly, and kicad for personal projects.

it it more than capable for what I need (think simple 4layer boards) and overall kicad 7 has been a great experience on apple silicon.

I have not attempted high layer count or high speed design (ddr4 ram etc.). so I cannot speak to how it performs here.

but I plan to continue using it for personal projects. if I where to do a startup I would also probably use kicad.

Always42··on First Framework Laptop 16 shipments and a $499 Framework Laptop
this is sad, I have been debating buying a framework simply because I support there mission. But, I type this from a apple MacBook that I haven't charged in ~36hrs
Always42··on Car harm: A global review of automobility's harm to people and the environment
I only read the abstract.

In the spirit of the abstract, "While some people benefit from automobility, nearly everyone—whether or not they drive—is harmed by it." I would say many people have also benefited from cars existing in-directly. As in, all the folks driving to work every day in "rural" America potentially designing live saving devices. (inb4 wfh people rage me, yes, some people do actually need to be in the office)

Always42··on Considerations for a long-running Raspberry Pi
thanks for responding!

I feel like Raspberry pi has one leg up regarding gpio.

I have never tried to do gpio from windows (E.g. belink)

I am sure it is possible with usb adapters, but then you are dealing with changing come ports etc

Always42··on It’s Official, Apple Kills Web Apps in the EU

Always42··on Considerations for a long-running Raspberry Pi
is this for running displays or is this being used for production assembly machines? (eg gpio usage)
Always42··on Renesas Buys Altium
"real PCB" meaning massive boards with ton of layers. Personally I think this is a bad take, as there are many 4-8 layer boards that can be made fine with allium and those pcb's probably feel pretty "real".

Always42··on Things software developers should learn about learning
can you post enough about your local LLM setup for me to google/rep. this?

Always42··on How to turn off Google's "privacy sandbox" ad tracking, and why you should
this.

I went as far as uninstalling chrome ~1 year ago on my daily driver personal desktop.

I use firefox as much as possible at work, but it is "not supported" by our IT department.

Confluence doesn't even work properly with firefox, its insane. Try pasting a photo you copied into your clipboard (by selecting the file) into confluence and it wont work.

Always42··on New study finds electric vehicles are driven less than gas cars
whilst simultaneously hurting those that can't afford a EV.

the point of sale ev credits coming in 2024 would help, but if your in the used market (e.g. low income end) this would suck.
