New Outlook does have ads, and this move replaces Mail with Outlook therefore the default mail client will now have ads because it's Outlook. You can remove them with a 365 subscription. So while the article doesn't mention it, the statement is true.

you can easily tell if anything has changed every time you turn the TV on, plus, I haven't hooked them up to the internet

All smart TVs are dumb if you perform one simple action. When the terms and conditions screen pops up during the TV setup process simply select "No." Congratulations, you have a dumb TV. This is what I do and so far it has worked.

The cause of this could be many things, but one thing is for sure: worrying about it only makes it worse.

My advice would be to visit your doctor, asks for a general round of blood tests to check everything is okay, B12, liver function, cholesterol, kidneys, etc. Do the lot. If they show something isn't normal then you can focus on dealing with it, but just as importantly, if the results don't show anything you can rule out your physical health as the problem and focus on other potential causes.

I'd place a small wager on learning you have a clean bill of health helping you get out of this slump, or could go a long way to getting your mojo back.

Best of luck!

Depending on where you are located in the world, find a local artisan coffee roastery and see if you can talk to the owner. It's the fastest way to gain access to face-to-face deep knowledge of the coffee industry because they typically work directly with the farmers. In the process, you may also find someone who is willing to work with you and buy all the beans you produce in 2026 and beyond.

Because they are under no obligation to continue contributing, and if the organization is serious about the future of the project and spot some talent, they'll want to try and get that person into a more permanent role. The real question is actually the opposite of the one you asked: why wouldn't they want to try and pay you for your work if it's beneficial to the product/company?

Yes, constrained supply means individual customers are going to struggle to find stock.

If I was in that situation I would take the time to plan out in as fine detail as possible a task list for each day for each person. There are several benefits to doing this:

- They know exactly what needs to be done and are expected to do, so even the Maverick is placed on a leash.

- You are probably going to return to a mess anyway, but this way you (and your boss) have the task lists to point to as evidence when reprimanding or even removing people from the team down the line.

- You're covering yourself if the project does get delayed. You did everything you could to help the team while you weren't there.

Your boss may not be technical, but if he has these task lists for each person and you sit down and go through them with him before you leave, he can do daily checks to keep them on track.

Finally, switch off and enjoy your vacation. There is nothing you can do while you are away and probably a lot you will have to do when you return, so throw yourself into the break and enjoy it as much as possible.

I also really like their masked email feature, it's so useful to click and create a throwaway email address to use for different sites and services.

I use both, but also pipe in gmail to ensure I don't miss any emails during what inevitably ends up being a long transition process.

I've been using Fastmail for several months now having migrated away from Gmail. I've found it to be very reliable, extremely fast, and just as importantly-it just does what it says on the tin. No gimmicks, ads, or hassle.

The one problem I've faced is my Fastmail email address ending up in the spam folder of friends and family and having to explain to them how to prevent that. I think that may be a leftover from the days when Fastmail offered free accounts. A bit annoying, but definitely not a deal breaker for me.

For my pixel art book with No Starch, they insisted on Word templates and it worked out well for a couple of reasons. The first being because their editing team was so used to using the template for feedback. It was easier for me to adapt to the publisher than the other way around, and the whole process was smoother and quicker.

The second reason was to do with a change in format as the book was nearing completion. It's aimed at kids (8+) and adults, but we decided having an open and lay flat printed edition made the most sense because it makes following the tutorials easier. This resulted in the layout needing to be tweaked for a couple of hundred pages, which the publisher handled because we used their template system.

So while it may be annoying for a writer to have to change their methods, it can save you a hell of a lot of work because things change unexpectedly (and in my case for the better).

first release was April 12, 1992, but it was a proof of concept[1] and wasn't commercialized until May 1993, so perhaps that's why?

I don't think that fits. Someone following a strict keto or low-carb diet is typically going to have healthier levels of fat in their blood e.g. lower cholesterol. Add to that a greatly reduced risk of diabetes and if these findings prove true it may end up being another reason to adopt such a diet.

My first question was: "Why on earth would anyone target Fastmail?" And to answer my own question, it seems a lot of email providers are in the firing line at the moment - https://therecord.media/ddos-attacks-hit-multiple-email-prov...

On the Samsung TVs I own, when you first set it up there's a yes/no agreement screen and if you choose "no" none of the smart features are accessible and you don't get any phoning home or ads by simply not entering Wi-Fi details. I haven't bought a new TV for a few years, though. So this may be different now, but the best way I found to create a dumb TV experience.

Isn't it maintenance related as linked to in a reply to that tweet? https://www.binance.com/en/support/announcement/27d6afd43209...

It's worth reading the BBC news article techpowerup's coverage is based upon, there's more detail.

"I have no idea whether we would have had a superior site from the UK," he said. "But we now have about 70 proposals for sites across Europe from maybe 10 different countries.

"We're hopeful that we'll get to agreement on a site, as well as support from the EU... before the end of this year."

thank you for the additional information

yes, it should be possible to catch up, although it will happen more slowly depending on how bad the driver shortage has become within the fuel industry.

There's a general shortage of HGV drivers across Europe at the moment. The shortage didn't cause fuel pumps to run dry, though. It was the result of panic caused by the media after they got their hands on a document, with the initial news being that BP had closed 5 petrol stations. It escalated very quickly from there due to relentless media coverage. You could certainly argue the shortage of drivers made it much more difficult to cope with the panic once it was in full flow.

As Brian Madderson, chairman of the Petrol Retailers Association, explained on BBC Breakfast this morning. This happened because a BP document was leaked to the media, which unsurprisingly got them excited about a possible shortage and led to the panic buying. Madderson also said the industry is used to dealing with about 2 million liters of fuel being required a week, but that's with typical weekly fill-ups. He suggested that's effectively doubled now as people fill their tanks to the brim, which you can't keep up with under any circumstances. So there's no shortage in the industry, only a shortage created by consumers changing their behaviour overnight.

This move is to attract AMD customers back to Intel, so while in the short term it could hurt revenue, longer term it may mean increased profits and therefore offer more room to invest. There's also the potential for increased sales at the lower pricing, which will still have a profit attached. So I doubt that overall this will have much impact on investment.

Next week the answer to your question is probably "yes" https://twitter.com/NathanGDQuest/status/1430992735192985605

I was considering Visio until I saw the price, the only alternative I found was MyDraw[1], which looks competent and is much cheaper ($69). I haven't used it yet though. In the past I've relied on Dia[2].

There is a blog post now https://www.scala-lang.org/blog/2021/05/14/scala3-is-here.ht...

quite correct, I was referring to Brandon, not Robin

His first book Elantris is also very good and well worth your time. A good starting point for his work and a self-contained novel (although he had mentioned writing two more Elantris books in the distant future).

I used to subscribe, then the service was acquired and the price doubled so I stopped subscribing and relied on the free tier. With this announcement I think it's time to move on (probably to Bitwarden)
