By that logic, buying a slow phone can also just be undone.

A perfect solution that works 100% is not the goal. Small influences that can help you change behavior can still be beneficial. Maybe they doom scroll 5% less because of this tweak? Still a positive change.

Who would you prefer filling the ranks at a company like Palantir?

1. People who are sympathetic to these concerns, and more likely to change thinking from within or whistleblow if needed.

2. Everyone left over who are pro police state and fascism?

OP’s post would only fill Palantir with the second group. This seems more dangerous than to fill it with a diverse crowd.

That’s literally what this whole article was about. Removing a high correlation performance test, that black candidates didn’t pass as frequently, and replacing it with a very low correlation questionnaire that provided a more diverse applicant pool while weeding out highly qualified individuals.

I got a MK4 at launch and it worked out of the box with no issues, no bugs, and also was my first 3d printer. I found it perfectly easy to operate.

Prusa’s online documentation (and printed docs for that matter) are excellent.

I’m not familiar with Bambu, I’m a Prusa user, but if I had to guess you would always be able to print via microSD. It would be wildly unpopular to disable local printing.

Same. My MBP and M1 Air are amazing machines. But I’m now also excited that any future M chip replacement will be faster and just as nice.

The battery performance is incredible too.

I clicked the link to read this article because last week I received a paper letter from FedEx I initially thought was scammy.

It asked me to pay duty/taxes for my $799 Prusa 3D print order that arrived just last week.

So now I know Troy Hunt also bought a Mk4 assemble-yourself kit from Prusa.

Enjoy, Troy! Mine took 8 hours to build and it works like a charm! Fantastic little machine.

Ive seen a few articles about this topic.

I’m a new homeowner and have been looking forward to getting rooftop solar within the next year (recently swapped to a heat pump instead of gas furnace).

The local (PDX, OR) companies seem a bit sketchy but I do have at least one solid recommendation from a friend.

My mother however wasn’t so lucky and experienced something similar to the article where the salesmen claimed it would all be free and pay for itself but the. She ended up with a $16k loan. When she called to clarify they offered to double the number of panels on the roof and install for free, which she agreed to.

Any one else here with experience getting rooftop solar?

The best reason to close your toilet lid, in my opinion, is you are 99% less likely to ever drop anything into the bowl. I’ve accidentally knocked TP rolls in several times, and the phone once or twice, and probably other stuff. Ever since I started closing the lid habitually I realized I havent dropped anything into the bowl in a long time.

Sorry to hear about this. You probably shouldn’t post anymore about this for legal reasons.

For other readers, I’d be curious the jurisdiction.

The specific app that can turn off iPhones requires the “unleashed” firmware I believe.

Also, regarding legality, if you are DoSing cell phones, you are creating a hazard where users are no longer able to contact emergency services, and this is the most likely avenue of charges, as opposed to FCC fines (if in USA) for using locked spectrums.
