I think there's a difference between cancelled (or renamed in the case of Google Home and Nexus) product lines and something no longer working. Most of that list falls into the former, but otherwise probably work fine.
This Googlebook will probably be a lot like the Pixelbook. Probably cancelled after 1 generation, but still usable for 5-10 years as you'd expect from a laptop.
No they won't. Oracle already has many teams that report to a people manager in India/Mexico/etc. and then dotted line report to another manager in the USA who actually calls the shots.
I've been using Rectangle (https://rectangleapp.com/) for years now. IMO the shortcuts actually make it a massive improvement over Windows.
How do you bird-proof them?
This specific paper is pretty different to the kind of photo/video generation that has been hyped up in recent years. In this case, I think this might be what they're using for the iOS spatial wallpaper feature, which is arguably useless but is definitely an aesthetic differentiator to Android devices. So, it's indirectly making money.
Yes, this is something concrete that I can agree on. But how would you prove that given that we don't have access to that data?
Without that data you can't really draw any conclusion can you? For all we know companies are hiring a higher percentage of American workers now. All we know from the data shown is that companies are hiring some new H1-B holders and retaining a lot of existing H1-B holders.
Interesting to see this is so variable.
I got a Steam Deck OLED a few months ago. I haven't changed the standby behaviour at all. I can get a bit less than a week of standby + a few hours of gaming out of the box. Currently, my deck is on 52% charge after last charging it 4 days ago and playing ~3 hours of Silksong across those days.
I believe they mean it lasts 14+ hours in sleep.
I get where you're coming from, but I think you need to understand that the vast majority of people (conservatively maybe >95%) are perfectly fine with using Amazon. If you just start metaphorically punching all of them you won't convince them of anything. I don't think you can really make something socially poisonous that way without a significant group of people, in socially powerful positions, already agreeing with you.
I think you're overestimating how many people think like you on both of these topics (iOS/Android and Amazon).
I love Dear Hank and John, but IMO it's nothing like 99PI.
AFAIK the average emissions are based on cars that were actually sold. So yeah, it's weighted for popularity in a way.
Apart from IBM Power/AIX systems, SPARC/Solaris is another one. I wouldn't say either of these are used a lot, but there's a reasonable amount of legacy systems out there that are still being supported by IBM and Oracle.
The expectation is that anyone looking at Pimoroni products will probably just 3D-print (or produce in some other way) a case. They're not trying to sell this as a finished product.
That's the point though? They're trying to show off the functionality of the display/board to interest you in using it for a side project (might not even be a calendar).
Pimoroni's entire target market is hobbyists, educators and people who want to do bespoke things with electronics. They're not interested in buying finished products because they either enjoy working on projects or it would be too limiting for their needs or both.
If you just want a finished product buy one of the other countless e-ink calendar displays that exist.
I don't think the SL7 is a like-for-like comparison even if it seems like it on paper. The SL7 is great if you want/need to run Windows - I convinced my sister to get one and she loves the battery life and low heat (less fain noise) compared to her previous devices.
If you want a nix experience, Linux support is still a WIP and progress is quite slow because of a lack of help from Snapdragon and OEMs. I expect that it might take a generation or two to get it to the point where it was with the x86 SLs.
However, at this stage, I'm tired of the quirks of Windows so the lack of nix support pushed me to get the Macbook Air for myself.
Very interesting read as an Australian. Helped me with understanding why US politics feels so different to Australia despite the cultural similarities.
ML is still a thing. I believe that most AI research is still non-LLM ML-related - things like CNN+Computer Vision, RL, etc. In my opinion, the hype around LLMs has a lot to do with its accessibility to the general public compared to existing ML techniques which are highly specialised.
Definitely most Australian cities. In Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne or Perth you'd be waking up in the middle of nowhere in most cases.
I don't understand the issue with cast iron pots after reading that either.
My understanding is that to get iron overload, your body would need to absorb excess iron and store it. This happens with haemochromatosis over a long time (30+ years), but it can also happen if you consume way too much iron by, for example, taking too many iron supplements when you don't need them. In normal circumstances and with a standard diet, the body will regulate it's iron intake so that too much doesn't get stored and so there's no iron oberload.
Maybe I'm missing something here, but this leaves me a little confused about what the commenter meant. If you have a normal diet and don't have haemochromatosis or some other confounding factor, I don't see how enough iron could be leached from a cast iron pot to cause iron overload.
I'm from Brisbane and it seems like a lot of new build free-standing houses don't have awnings around here. I think most still have pretty deep eaves, which do an ok job.
However, based on what I can see from my train window right now, it looks like most new apartments/townhouses and even office buildings have some sort of awning or window covering.
Oh that's what that is. I saw this on YouTube in Firefox the other day and thought YouTube was just A/B testing a quirky new way to display view counts.
I'm unsure about Indonesia, but domestic customers in that region would be pretty limited. The closest major power users would be in Queensland (>1000km) away.
I'm pretty sure G.Fast was never actually deployed for NBN FTTC. It was planned/announced in 2021-2022, but eventually NBN came about their senses and decided to do FTTC -> FTTP upgrades like they're doing for FTTN.
I think Spotify's podcast UI is so awkward and terrible it has held back their growth.
I started listening to podcasts 3 years ago because how easy Spotify had suddenly made getting into them. But, over those 3 years I've gotten so fed-up with Spotify's issues (which they refuse to fix) that I've recently moved to Pocket Casts (it took so long because of their walled-garden).
I think the main differentiator for Spotify - making podcasts easy to start listening to with a music-and-podcast-app-in-one - is in fact its largest problem. The UI feels like it was designed for music with podcasts clunkily added as an afterthought. When you add the fact that Spotify's UI is already bloated, even for music, it basically becomes unusable. And then the features are different between web/desktop and mobile - there's literally no way to get a list of new episodes on desktop.
Not just Sydney, but all across Australia.
FWIW, history teaching seems to have moved away from just looking at dates - at least where I am.
I graduated high school <10 years ago and most of our history classes (including WW1 and 2) were spent on what, why and how. A significant amount of time was spent looking at the leadup and aftermath of both WW1 and WW2 as well as the ideas of the time. We pretty much didn't look at troop movements, generals, battles, etc. apart from mentioning the really significant ones. Same goes for pretty much every other unit of history (mediaeval Europe, colonialism in Asia and Africa, etc.).
Maybe this is a reflection of differences in teaching styles in different parts of the world?
