The market isn't there since the petticoat 5 covered all bases

Call me a boomer, but I preferred old apps that had a consistent interface instead of all the random wheel inventing.

linkedin is still the defacto way to quickly check if a candidate is being truthful about their employment history.

If they don't list the companies they claim to have worked at or have no connections to them its a red flag.

> There are relatively fine-grained settings of what to get notified about.

Anecdotal, but it seems the mobile app resets those settings every so often so you start to get spammed with crap you don't want to read.

I eventually just blocked the linkedin app from sending any notifications and rely on the emails which I have filters on.

innocent people often ask to have the results sealed.

Hence the word "typically".

I am noticing it in work emails a lot now - poor performers cutting and pasting chatgpt content with no validation.

Now we wait for elon to jump in, call Volvo a pedo, and offer to ship bags of chips in his Tesla semi.

> Why care whether something is AI slop or human slop? It’s not worth reading in either case.

The problem is human slop is typically easy to detect by grammar and other clues.

AI slop is often confidently incorrect.

How wasteful, ed uses just ? for all errors, a 3x saving

Turn off updates, test things first

Qantas had storage bins between the seat and wall due to the wall curve, one of the best features of the upper deck

You forgot f) so lacking in features that it's a productivity roadblock

Likely best to get old 80s style narrow top key caps and high force switches.

Ibm Model m or a keyboard with mx green switches.

> Sixteen- and twenty-four-bit color weren't just widespread by 1998. They were standard.

Maybe in 800x600, but not in higher resolutions.

A lot of PCs still had 1MB video ram cards like the S3 trio - I remember running Xwindows on a s3 card that would change the colour palette for whichever app was active when you ran it in 1024x768.

Whole thing seems like a bunch of whining about things that don't matter and are good ways to reduce cost with minimal impact.

The auto voltage switching - how often are you taking your PC to another country with a different voltage?

The lower quality case finish - how many mac users ever dared open the case?

Having kids is an important tickbox for ladder climbing, senior execs are always talking about their own or asking about peoples children.

And I'm sure they had no idea what was happening and using it as a loophole for cheap labour

True - its a trade off like everything in life - do I want to learn yet another language syntax, or master one like jq.

Personally I feel like mastering jq has more value across a lot more things.

Right, so doable just a bit more effort to do 3 queries to pipes or tmp files

Can just use normal jq select filters unless I'm missing something?

What does this offer over jq which I can also afford?

If he is talking about osf1/tru64 that's the first one heard of it

For a large room where the vent is far away from the sensor I can get behind that.

For a fan forced oven, not so much.

> Setting the thermostat to 80F WILL bring the room to 72F faster than if you set it to 72F on most ovens/AC devices, unless the thermostat is located far away from the device.

What logic is that based on?

Most devices are just bang bang controlled on or off - so setting to 80 or 72 makes no difference.

Some rare invertor devices may use PID to ramp down as they approach the setpoint, but that's not common.

The Casio, it does not have the pussy magnet

> It’s pretty shocking how secure those early systems are

Compared to just a key it was a big step forward.

Insufficient testing

The article seems to under represent how advanced and widespread i-mode cell phones were in Japan - over 60% of the population used it in the early 2000s.

I stayed with friends in Japan in 2001 who noted all their friends used email on their handsets rather than have a PC. They also could watch certain broadcast TV channels on their phone which was popular on the train.

The only people I knew with mobile email in my home country were some execs with blackberries.

Have you ever had to deal with an autistic chicken?

Likely a corporate pc with 20 different security products slowing it down
