Just use Sublime Merge, it's probably the best GUI for Git there is.

I expect a more likely outcome will be that all systems move to an offline-dumb model by default because it will be cheaper and more reliable to pay a contractor that comes in occasionally to flip some dials than it is to deal with contractors that are constantly losing an ever-present arms-race.

There are businesses that specifically don't allow credit cards and only allow Debit and Cash to reduce these fees already and they are still in business. WinCo Foods is the biggest example I know of, so insinuating that it's impossible to operate if you exclude payment method types/cards isn't really true.

AI slop article about using AI to write tests in a format that's worse than Cucumber...

Why would I bother to read the slop you couldn't even be bothered to write?

I'm pretty sure this is a re-launch of the lite tier they already had in lower income countries at a higher price, instead of making a tier for people that don't like ads and also don't use Youtube as their primary music platform.

The physical-sim tray is present for all markets outside of the US on all iPhones.

You aren't kidding. The price for a lot of their storage options looks to be 2-4x what you can find in a grocer in the US. Even a Costco set of Snapware glass is significantly cheaper than Tupperware.

Many of my close friends and myself that have used Android phones have sworn off the Pixel brand.

Personally I had issues with GPS and the speaker on my Gen 1 pixel.

We all seem to run into hardware faults right around the end of the warranty period and their value seems to drop like a rock on the second-hand market months after launch.

Just my anecdotes.

The problem is most of the boards from partners are specialized with different hardware add-ons and have a significant markup at about 10 USD a board, which makes it harder to justify buying a handful of boards to tinker with. It's quite unfortunate.

Why oh why is still using Micro USB?!

I was hoping that the next iteration would start using USB-C even if it costed a bit more per-board.

I think I'm growing tired of reading articles and books that disguise opinions as "Best Practice." I find most of these types of articles and guides lacking in substance.

All of them seem to use blanket statements that lack any evidence as to why the claim being made is true. We are just expected to trust the author, when the author isn't even an expert in the topic they are discussing.

Good on them. They are using the same tactics ISP's have used to screw the general public but instead they are at least providing the services they promise.

It's frustrating to see a post like this just blaming Google for their issues, when perhaps their reporting/reviews might be at fault? Many people who look up reviews for products reviewed by Retro Dodo often criticize the reviews for lacking substance or getting very basic facts wrong.

I know that I added them to my personal filter list when I found them providing mis-info or just click-farming off of unannounced products.

Payday loan companies like Klarna should probably apply AI to avoid granting loans to people who obviously can't pay them back...

Oh, wait, that would probably be be 90% of the people that use these loan providers to buy something. They should probably be regulated out of existence instead.

Tesla still seems to be over-valued. I don't see why they would be worth 10x other car manufacturers, especially ones that have quality manufacturing already down.
