I can see the 3D, but struggle to put together what they are sometimes because I don’t have colors to put the image together.

Alright, we just need to let them think they’re right and we had it all wrong. ‘Oh! What a brilliant idea—man, I’m so glad you thought of that. It makes so much more sense! Let’s go this route instead, full steam ahead!’

To be fair how colors mix with light vs paints are completely different. With light, maroon is made by combining mostly red with a small amount of blue and reducing brightness—since additive mixing can’t produce true dark tones, it relies on dimming. With paint, maroon is created by mixing red with a bit of blue or black, which absorbs more light, naturally producing the dark, muted red. So in light, maroon is a dim, cool red; in paint, it’s a red with absorbed brightness and added depth.

I work for a company that handles this In a few ways. We set up read replicas to handle large read queries. To offload the reads from the primary server. Data is replicated to the read replicas so reporting can be run from that server. And not add load to the primary server.

The second approach is sharding. Sharding breaks a large table into smaller, more manageable chunks, distributing them across systems. This reduces the burden on any one server, improves performance, and enables scaling out as data or traffic increases.

Navigation with a carpool option to tell the app I want to navigate taking advantage of carpool lanes / exits.

Trump doesn’t have friends; he has lackeys and people who want to gain something by getting in his favor. Others follow and agree with him out of fear of retaliation.

Billionaires have no idea how the majority of us are living. We shouldn’t allow people this disconnected from a normal everyday life to run the country.

If this were true, they would simply be ignored.

You’re thinking of a Rectenna.

Edit: Ignore me, Admiral Patrick beat me to it.

Not federated but you can self host something like this. https://github.com/SillyTavern/SillyTavern

I never use the ports on my laptop. It never bothered me that they removed them all. Granted I know that’s just my use case I can t speak for everyone.

A client of mine pays for an SSL cert he doesn’t even use. I’ve told him before I moved him to Let’s Encrypt because I was able to automate the renew process. He decided he needed to continue paying for the SSL cert. I told him we are not using it, but he doesn’t believe me. So he continues to pay for it.

You can’t come at these people with facts.

Continue what you’re doing on the desktop and set up beeper with only your Facebook account to handle messages from your phone. It’s still not great, but I think it’s the best you’re going to get. You’re really only gaining Facebook, not seeing where you’re connecting from. Also, Beeper is just a pretty front end to a matrix server with a bridge connecting to Facebook Messenger. You could totally run it yourself if you wanted; check out the “self-host” link near the bottom of the page.

I don’t know this for sure, but I feel like this is something you can do with freetube. Regardless, it’s worth looking into.

My partner and I wanted one. We test-drove a Model Y and Model 3. We were fully ready to buy one for our next vehicle. That’s changed. We are looking at other EVs now. I won’t give him my money.

No shit, she handed him his ass on a platter. He won’t do that again.

Some of my best friends are vegan. They gladly come over to my BBQs when I’m grilling a brisket or tri-tip, and I’ll always grill extra veggies for them. They don’t always talk about being vegan and don’t shame me for eating meat. Don’t rush to assume the entire group is bad because you’ve had a few bad experiences with them.

AppleTV client at some point?

Can’t remember the full details of the deal, but I seem to recall a story about how Apple approached Intel to manufacture a low-powered processor for mobile (for the first iPhone). At the time, Intel didn’t see money in mobile processors and passed on the deal. Additionally, for years, Apple asked for more powerful chips for the MacBooks. At the time, the iPads were surpassing MacBooks in speed on some tasks. Finally, Apple decided that since they were already designing their own silicon for iPhones and iPads, they might as well just do the same for the MacBooks as well since Intel couldn’t keep up.

Again, this is largely from memory. I can’t remember the source, so take it with a grain of salt.
