Agree 100%, Ars Technica syndicates those stories (they do it for Wired and FT stories too), so they paid ProPublica to republish the story and give full credit to them.
Ars also has traditionally operated very independently of Condé Nast, and their authors, editors, and staff are incredibly active and as up front as possible in their comments and forums. Perhaps Conde is doing something shady, but if so I have decent faith that Ars isn’t in on it.
Banks don’t really create it out of thin air. Banks are letting you borrow money they otherwise hold, meaning they can’t lend indefinitely. This is the exact same way say a library works, they can only lend you books they have, and while you are using that book they cannot lend it to others. Paying back the principal on your loan doesn’t make the money disappear, it’s you giving back the amount you borrowed, plus extra to compensate the bank for lending you the money. This all matters a bit more in non-fiat currencies since those are backed by something intrinsically valued (such as gold), but even in fiat currencies banks that lend more money than they have access too are over extended and generally need to borrow themselves from either other institutions or the Fed in the US. This is why the Fed interest rate impacts loan rates.
And macOS, though they are starting work on porting it to Linux, I worry they are going to abandon WebKit for that.
Worth noting here that Orion is made by Kagi, a privacy focused search engine.
We also have an I6, and generally really like it. With how fast it charges at L3 chargers, road trips so far haven’t been much different for us other than where we stop, but we would have taken a 15-20 minute break anyways. We got our last month, so no free NACS adapter for us, but we got a quality one from Canada for about $100. Lastly, don’t discount the V2L features. We used it in a recent 4+ day power outage to keep our chest freezer going overnights and saved likely $1000 in food from going bad. Sure we waited a couple hours to recharge it at one of the only working fast chargers, but we had no power anyways so sitting and waiting in the car or at home made no real difference.
In terms of driving, the I6 drives well. Like all EVs it has instant torque, which I described to my dad as like being in 1st but all the way to 60 with no need to shift. It handles well and is comfortable.
My biggest complaints are the it’s a bit short inside (but I think that of most cars, so maybe it’s me), and the parking sensors are stupid annoying most of the time (way too sensitive, and I can’t find a way to leave them on while turning the audible alerts off but leaving the normal driving alerts on). It really thinks our normal 1-car garage door opening is too tight.
I have this on my list of things to do. I have the romex, just need to grab a couple breakers to add the circuits and do the work. I know it won’t be hard, and will be well worth it, but getting started is hard when it’s out of sight and only annoying when I need them.
Minor thing, but added a piece of OSB to the bottom of the foam lid to our energy box in the attic access (basically a wood tunnel through the insulation that has a 1" piece of polystyrene insulation board on top). It was built with weather stripping to help air seal it, but the hunk of foam isn’t nearly heavy enough to really sit on the stripping. I’ve been meaning to do it for like 6 months and finally cut the scrape of OSB I had, glued it down and added some small handles. Should make it a lot easier to move out of the way, seal better, and be more durable.
I’ll have to do a post with some pictures from a few weeks ago when I installed our EVSE soon.
I’m curious how everyone documents their core/critical configs to allow the non-technical in our homes work with it if needed. For instance if I’m on work travel and the Pi-hole goes down for whatever reason my wife wouldn’t be able to use pretty much anything online. I can remote in and fix it but that could be hours/a day or two later. Same then for the proxmox stack that everything runs on.
Along the same lines, how are folks documenting for EOL? It may not be a happy thought but we are all going to go someday, so what is your plan and how have you ensured loved ones can access/save important data?
In the nicest way possible, you both need to move on past this. This is something like your 10th post about this person on various communities in a week or two, and this person you are talking about has also shown up in your posts and their communities you post to to continue this drama numerous times (and been banned, and evaded those bans). I won’t speak for everyone, but in general this type of drama posting isn’t nearly as well received on Lemmy as it was on Reddit.
I’m sorry you had a bad friendship in high school, truly. I’m sorry you are being bullied for something that you just are. Kids are assholes, especially “popular girls” in high school IMO (I mean there is a reason a very successful movie was made on that entire concept). But if you really want to break free as you state, you’ve got to post about other things and leave this throwaway account behind. Move on, live your life the best you can, and take solace in the fact that if you are as happy as possible as often as possible, that is the best revenge ever for someone that bullied you.
From YouTube and friends that have it I definitely suspected I did in my 20s. It wasn’t until my early/mid 30s though I got evaluated for it due to issues I was starting to have getting things done at work (forgetting things that needed completed, missing details, zoning out on calls more often). I think I masked it well previously because my work was varied and challenging but a new role had me doing more mundane things that required experience and attention to details but weren’t difficult for me or overly stimulating.
I am not, that appears to be @deebster@programming.dev
As has been pointed out though on non-web clients it’s much more disruptive to link to the webpage instead of how the bot works now. I’m not sure what the split is between web and mobile users but I’d hazard a guess there’s appreciably more mobile client users.
I’m also not sure why it would require more loads on web, if you open a post (as you have to do regardless) does it not show the image with text below it anyways?
The bot adds the alt text to the post, so no need to head to the site to see the entire comic.
I tried a few and settled on Arctic on iOS. It’s got a great interface that gets out of your way but is still feature rich including swipe actions on posts and comments and a solid push notification system, and the developer is super responsive to feedback, pushing new TestFlight builds consistently with both features and bug fixes. It’s not perfect (there’s a stubborn bug that jumps posts that pops up on and off throughout builds) but it’s the closest in feel to Apollo for me.
Many sedans in the US are quite a bit larger than their global counterparts. That also assumes that all sedans are somewhat fungible which also isn’t true. It’s common for foreign manufacturers to only introduce longer wheelbase versions of vehicles in the US but offer shorter wheelbases in Europe and Asia, thus includes sedans and coupes, but also minivans and trucks. I’d be somewhat interested in a VW id.Buzz, but aside from software issues they only offer the larger variant in the States which won’t even fit in my garage. Even the somewhat normal sized Ioniq 6 we got is way wider and longer than we’d ideally like, but there are no other options to get something in a saner size on Hyundai/Kias eGMP platform which has tons of benefits (higher voltage packs for faster charging, solid and relatively affordable technology options, and full V2L capabilities).
A big part of it is the lack of sanely sized options, which is driven by a combination of confirmation bias (“the best sellers are all giant SUVs” when the only real options are giant SUVs), low gas prices, and incentives to manufacturers by classifying vehicles as trucks to get around emissions rules. We could undo a lot of it if we taxed and regulated giant SUVs and trucks the same way we do smaller cars, but that hits the profits of big auto and would be politically disadvantageous for anyone to try so they don’t.
Yeah, VMWare is an enterprise platform, so I’d be pretty surprised if they weren’t using it. It’s a grocery store so I can’t imagine they have huge throughput needs in the first place, but even then VNWare networking appliances are super common. We use them where I work to support thousands of users in office environments. As for the Bluetooth, again just guessing but they either don’t support broadcast being turned off, or more likely they MSP/central IT just didn’t disable it because they didn’t care/don’t know how. I think you’re vastly overestimating how much effort went into the network setup for a grocery store.
It’s likely just the network within the store. Meraki (which I’m assuming is what you meant by Merkari, since AFAIK that isn’t a name for any Cisco gear) is more than just DPI, it’s a full SDN platform that Cisco purchased around 10 years ago. It’s pretty common in branch networks like stores or networks maintained by an MSP. Without doing any digging I’d guess the Bluetooth devices are handheld barcode scanners used within the store, or perhaps scales/printers used in various departments.
Sharpening a blade that’s in decent condition on a stone should only take a few minutes. If it’s badly dinged up or needs a new edge entirely it can take a lot longer though. I spend about an hour every couple months to sharpen all of our kitchen knives, it’s 100% worth it.
