Failure to collect trash under certain conditions is not a failure of a trash collecting system.

Of course it is. If your phone fails to make calls under certain conditions, that is a failure of the system, and we try to fix it (for example by deploying more antennas, or by fixing software bugs in it).

If workers refuse to pick up trash, we can also fix that (ask Ronald Reagan).

Paying does not guarantee anything. It does not guarantee a more reliable service, it does not guarantee that they will hear you out when they change a feature or the design, ruining it, and it does not guarantee it won't shut down tomorrow. They will refund you, and you will have your money back, but you will have no service, and you will be back in square one.

I may be misremembering but didn't Feedly step up very quickly? Even offering the ability to easily migrate everything over.

Other rss readers were either much different (think cards design, or too much whitespace everywhere, or whatever), or they had premium plans they were telling you about all the time, or they had premium plans and a low limit of rss feeds you could add, or they had no mobile apps, or the mobile apps required premium, or whatever.

Nothing was like google reader: free, information-dense, and reliable. When google reader was killed, rss died for me.

I have a 13900K. The default BIOS settings set a maximum wattage of 4096W (!!!) that makes Prime95 fail. If I change the settings back to 253W, what Intel says is the maximum wattage, Prime95 stops failing.

Still, I don't know if I should RMA. I got the K version because I intended to overclock in the future. And all of this sounds like I won't be able to. I think increasing the voltage a little bit makes the system more stable. I have to play with it. (Really, if someone can say whether I should RMA or not, I would appreciate some input)

Edit: decided to RMA. I have no patience for a CPU that cost me +600€

I have a 13900K and I am affected. Out of the box BIOS settings cause my CPU to fail Prime95, and it's always the same CPU cores failing. Lowering the power limit slightly will make it stable. I intended to better refrigerate the CPU and change the power limit back to the default and if the problems continued I would RMA the CPU, but now I'm not so sure that the BIOS is not pushing it beyond the operating limits.

I searched for "Best Air Purifier for Pets" and I clicked on the first reddit result https://old.reddit.com/r/dyson/comments/1730x73/best_air_pur...

That post is 4 months old but someone posted this just 7 days ago https://old.reddit.com/r/dyson/comments/1730x73/best_air_pur...

Goes to show how little you can trust reddit comments these days, particularly for good google keywords

This is mentioned in TFA:

Somehow the user has been banned from Reddit, but their comment is still at the top of the thread — we wonder how many other comments this user has published across different subreddits.

This occurs when a moderator in the subreddit has manually approved the comment.

Standard Firefox.

I'd image that firefox developers actually use it as their browser too..

The graphic design of Firefox is not made by developers, it's made by designers who don't use Firefox.

This is the same problem that modern Windows has: these systems are designed by 20-something year old designers who wear specs with thick coloured frames and who only use Mac and Safari. They don't give a shit because they don't have to use these systems ever; for them these systems are something they screenshot and put in their portfolios.

No environmental laws or worker protections? Is this based on truth or prejudice?

Subsidies and mandates are good when the EU does them but bad when China does them?

You just have to see how the media says 23andme was "hacked" when actually accounts were compromised using a password spraying attack.

I'm trying the Windows version. What really sticks out is that buttons don't have tooltips. It's impossible to know what they do if you don't click them.

Also in the conversation view you have two buttons "New Chat" and "Add Chat" which do two different things but they both have the same keybind ^T
