Some people don't take kindly to being kicked out, even if they're in the wrong, and there's not a lot you can do to stop them from causing hundreds of thousands in damages while you go through the process of evicting them.

They can probably reach the same conclusions about why there might be more installs than downloads by thinking about it for maybe 5 seconds instead of tracking people.

Easiest explanation off the top of my head, without reading the article, would be IT departments including Firefox in their base image they use on all their standard issue computers, resulting in hundreds and possibly thousands of different installs having the same download ID. That alone by itself would cause an absolutely massive discrepancy between download and install numbers. My company includes Firefox in our base image and it's on at least 200,000 different laptops and desktops, with a handful of different download IDs between them depending on when they got issued the computer.

Sponsorblock looks pretty harmless as far as affecting creators getting paid, it doesn't seem to do anything that can't be replicated by hitting your right arrow key a couple times so weird place to draw the line in my opinion. Pretty sure sponsors can't tell if people fast forwarded through the sponsored section.

That's brilliant, my girlfriend and roommates refuse to install the printer driver onto their computers and print things themselves so it's an endless cycle of bugging me to print things. Going to get this going when I get home today.

I think you're being incredibly dismissive and a little condescending for no reason about his concerns, I'm sure they "considered" that while yes there is legal recourse if eBay were to take money out they weren't supposed to, the process isn't a 100% guarantee by any means, and you're still out that money while it's being investigated/resolved. Not everyone is in the privileged position of being able to float a couple thousand dollars while an issue like this is being resolved.

It's an extremely common deficiency that has links to a ton of issues, and it's quite easy to correct, so it's an extremely low hanging fruit in terms of reducing your risk for a ton of things.

Yeah but they're built like that by design to make it easy for post workers to stuff mailboxes, not a quirk of location and ease of importation like the other examples.

Chains like McDonald's almost certainly don't cut their French fries onsite, they'd get them delivered already cut and frozen.

Not to pretend I know anything about you or your partner and y'alls relationship, but her being a non-tinnitus sufferer and not having personally experienced it herself doesn't make her unable to "understand" the issue and accommodate you in the manner of your choosing.

Assuming that you've sat down with her and clearly communicated exactly how you want her to handle situations when your tinnitus makes it hard for you to understand her, if she's still choosing to completely ignore that in favor of shouting and being unreasonable to the point it turns into a fight, that just reflects poorly on her and her willingness to be even minorly sympathetic and accommodating to a loved one's currently incurable medical condition.

Okay but the issue here is SSNs close to one that's already flagged also get flagged apparently. If you know your social is flagged and are giving a fake one why would you make it anything remotely similar to your own already flagged one?

It just doesn't consistently work and I end up with several circles drawn around what I'm trying to erase that I end up having to erase as well. There's apparently some magic angle/distance to hold your fingers apart at and if you deviate even a small amount it doesn't pick it up. Having any part of your other hand/other fingers on the screen as well will cause it to not work either. Someone on the subreddit told me that what has been working for them is to hold their 2 fingers vertical along the left side of the screen and that's been working for me better than what I was doing, but it still often doesn't pick it up. I just today finally got my Lany EMR stylus in and am enjoying the dedicated erase button much more.

You may be looking at reviews for the linux version maybe? The gesture erase has only been on the android version since the latest update and most everyone I've spoken to in the supernote subreddit about it agrees it's not super great at the moment.

Other than that issue I'm a big fan, let me know if you have any other questions, happy to share my experience.

edit - one suggestion, the battery lasts much longer with wifi off, so I would suggest leaving it off and turning it on briefly whenever you want to sync notes, if you even care to do that, and check for updates every once in a while.

Do yourself a favor and order a stylus with a dedicated eraser button while you're waiting, I personally can't stand having to click up top to change to erasing mode and then go back to where I was to erase stuff, and their touch gesture activated erasing is kind of janky and inconsistent. Other than that though I'm pretty satisfied with it.

It's been released for quite awhile, they were just having supply issues so they're backordered a bit. I bought one hand to avoid the wait and love mine fwiw.

They support Dropbox syncing and they're working on Google drive support at the moment.

Charles Stross has a book series about a family of people that can step between different timelines of alternate Earth's that explores this a little.

**SPOILERS** Once the US that's basically our world discovers the existence of "world walkers" when they nuke the Whitehouse, it quickly steps into an authoritarian surveillance hellstate capable of realtime surveiling the population around the country to the point where they can track people entering their timeline because they were on camera exiting a building they were never recorded entering, or were flagged buying a plane/bus ticket from a city they shouldn't have been in according to previous records, or in one case for leaving a coffee shop with a noticeably empty backpack when she'd entered the shop with it completely full, having passed the contents to a world walker she was meeting. That irregularity automatically flagged everyone entering/leaving that building for review in their system and they backtracked all of these people through their paths that day until finding the gap where he'd stepped through to their world. That all happened in a matter of minutes and then quickly homed in on him.

Anyhow,it goes into detail about the lengths they go to to avoid detection by these systems and honestly didn't strike me at as all farfetched. The technology and capacity exists and it's a concentrated effort on part of the government is all it would take to implement it.

Western Governors University sorry

WGU is an online, fully accredited college that does exactly that. You pay for 6 months at a time and can do as many classes as you're able to complete within that time frame.

I just started at the beginning of February and have already knocked out an entire course in the past 10 days, it's honestly the best experience I've ever had with schooling. I like to work at my own pace because my motivation to get things done comes in bits and spurts, so I like to take advance of the upswings of my motivation levels and will manically get as much done as I can it fades and then take a week off to just chill, which did not work very well when I was enrolled at a more traditional university.

I totally agree but the people I'm talking about are not the kind of people that will return the favor, they're just slackers who are looking to do the least amount of work possible and offloading it onto you is just one of many tricks in their toolkit of avoiding doing actual work. People that will return the favor do exist but the amount of coworkers that will do something for me is vastly out-weighed by the aforementioned slackers.

And the same thing about going out of your way to help out end users, it just ends up being expected of you and if the next time you say no they might raise a stink and get you into trouble, either for not following process the first time, or for causing a bad and inconsistent user experience by NOT helping them the second time.

It's easier to just do what's expected of you and nothing more, nothing less.

This is gonna sound cynical but I don't enjoy being "helpful" at work because it often comes back to bite me in the ass.

I work in IT, and if you go the extra mile for a person one time they often expect that to be the norm from that point forward and may even tell other people about it who will then expect it to be the norm for them as well, and it just becomes extra work that's expected of you on top of your normal job duties, and if you complain or try to stop doing it you'll be seen as not a team player or lazy for trying to do less.

Or if you agree to do a favor for a co-worker one time, and then they ask a second and third time, and they start asking more frequently until eventually they're just coming to you every single time and it ends with you basically doing part of their job for them.

As you mentioned it can be helpful to do this because you do get those connections and influences with other people, you just have to decide if it's worth the effort to you personally to be doing what amounts the extra unpaid work to get those connections and influence.

Really? The little xenomorph skittering off after it burst out from the chest literally made me laugh out loud with how silly it looked, it was so incredibly stiff and fake.

Don't know if Apple sells them but they do make third party neck things that slip around the stems and are basically what you're asking for.

So small caveats, I lied a little. This is the first time I've ever really sat down and analyzed my typing. I do use my ring fingers slightly, on my left hand I use my ring finger for "z" "a" and "q" exclusively, and on my right hand I use the ring finger for backspace exclusively. I also only use my left thumb to hit the space bar and use my right index finger for space when my left thumb isn't available, and don't use my right thumb at all.

I managed to hit 93WPM(really 102WPM if you look, it wouldn't continue until I finished the last word which I didn't notice for quite a few seconds lowering the final time) my first try while holding my phone in my mouth which was a little distracting to be honest, and after about 10 minutes of warming up and not holding the phone managed to get it to 132WPM.

First try at 93WPM - https://gfycat.com/groundedpettyeider Had to cut it to 60 seconds to fit into gfycat, so it starts a little into me already typing but gets the idea across

Last try getting to 132WPM - https://i.imgur.com/r2ecd1Z.png

100% touch typing here, no looking.

To be fair /r/antiwork USED to be actually be about not working and discussions on how that might be accomplished(ex UBI or government works programs). But as it got more popular it quickly turned into what it is today, which is mostly fake screenshots of people telling their bosses off.

Yeah, as it got more popular during the pandemic it was quickly co-opted into more of a pro-workers rights subreddit, and nowadays it's mostly people posting clearly fake screenshots of themselves telling their bosses off over text for to farm karma.

Interesting. I've never trained or practiced my typing, but I've always naturally typed using only my thumb, pointer and middle finger, no pinky or ring fingers at all, but still manage to hit 80-100WPM without them on QWERTY. Good instincts I guess.

>videos sent are reduced in quality by a significant degree

What is the purpose of this? It's an issue solely with apple phones, people sending me videos from Android phones come through fine in full quality but anything from an apple device comes in looking like a Minecraft video.

>can't receive replies to specific comments

Apple actually started having their phones start sending texts with the reaction a few years ago, see this from my girlfriend earlier today

Just another anecdote but HN is the actually only place I've seen it mentioned personally

I had the same issue until I got a headrest/noseguard that actually blocked everything off. Before the noseguard didn't fit right and would show a little bit of the floor and I would wanna vomit within 10 minutes, but after everything was fine. This is the one
