My wife has her own account, and our accounts are bound to our controllers. When you press the xbox button you are immediately signed into your profile, and it's instant. When she launches a game with her controller, she sees her saves and vice versa for me. With Baldur's Gate 3 it even keeps all her mods separate from my mod-free setup.
Some game publishers (activision, ubisoft et al) require their own accounts, and that's usually also taken care of automatically. The xbox goes and sets up a profile on that publisher's system on first game launch.
Ryanair's whole shtick is "we'll treat you like cattle in a truck, and you'll be grateful you only paid €20 for the experience". I feel that anyone who is outraged by their nickel-and-diming doesn't really understand what Ryanair is about.
If I paid €200 for a flight from Dublin to Amsterdam, and they forced me to watch ads on the seatback screen and charged me to use the loo, then I'll be rightfully upset. But €50 for Ryanair? Where do I sign up for the €20 standing-only tickets?
What's your experience?
I don't think there is a fix, it's more a case of if your T480 still works, get a newer firmware installed asap.
Connecting your tv to the internet is quite frankly insane.
At some point their web client felt like it was abandoned, because they kept on releasing apps for a bunch of niche devices and for VR. I was unsure if my subscription was going to make my experience any better.
Eventually I discovered Emby, trialled it for a couple of months alongside Plex (same XBMC core, so the same library naming convention and folder structure). After that I decided to get the subscription for Emby. Their server is solid, the web client is solid, and their android clients are solid. Happy camper since then!
Emby just works, it's players are great, and issues actually get fixed. I know it's a closed source fork of XBMC, I know that's controversial, but the product itself is just so good.
2. A very quick google search got me this¹. More than half the balance bikes on there have brakes. I've seen similar on other bike websites. I agree it's irresponsible to not have brakes, especially for the bigger kid models.
I have a 7 month old now. I want to get her on a balance bike before the end of the year, or maybe start with a trike. Exclusively indoors, or under very strict supervision from me if we are anywhere outside. As soon as she's big enough, she'll get the smallest "big" bike where I have removed the pedals, but we have the front and back brakes present. Then she'll continue balance-biking on there till she's ready for the pedals.
No responsible parent will allow a child on a balance bike (or one with training wheels) in any scenario where they'll 'endanger' anything.
Balance bikes teach you to ride a bike (maintain balance while steering). Training wheels teach you to pedal a bike.
Learning balancing and steering first, and then learning to actually cycle the pedals is the right order of events I think.
Yet, the DCs here on earth have other problems such as high energy consumption needing on-prem gas turbines and requiring large quantities of water for cooling requirements.
I'm looking forward to a terrestrial DC that solves all these issues: it's completely self contained and self sustaining requiring very little maintenance, no external power and self contained waterless cooling. Once we have that then we can ask how we can package up this building and put it in the sea. And then when we've had enough of that, we can put them in space.
I honestly believe the problem is inseparable from the social network itself. Either you have a space where people can connect and find jobs and nothing more, and you'll have zero engagement and no way to really fund the platform. Or you allow actual social networking (i.e. public posts) and then open yourself up for lots of engagement, and all the associated cancer that comes with that.
Am I missing something?
The same tesla tha cancelled the model 2, and subsequently they don't have anything to offer the affordable-urban-transporter market? The same tesla that's going all in on robotics and AI and somewhat forgetting about their car maker heritage?
You comment is very American centric. Kia and Hyundai is fucking smashing it in Europe at the moment, and the likes of Renault is coming out with seriously good and seriously competitive offers.
Wasn't there some mild scandal a decade or so ago where wealthy white American families would adopt kids from Africa or Mexico, only to force them to do housework the whole time?
Many worker relations ombuds around the world has procedures for exactly this scenario.
Hell, I reckon the majority of 'illegal' firings does not result in rehiring the injured party.
