I did block entire hexbear and specific communities on ml. I just meant subjects in general.

As long as your sick to non political or historical communities, they are tolerable. Any deviation from above and you might as well be on hexbear.

This post is sadder than some of the warnings we get the world is about to end.

This comment will get down voted to absolute zero but: Samsung has amazing hardware and one of the worst software you could possibly put on a mobile device. Probably worst experience I’ve ever had using a mobile device. My experience was with S10.

Google has fantastic software and absolute shit hardware. Terrible battery life. Phone constantly lags and overheats from normal use. Terrible reception and non stop Bluetooth problems. Currently suffering with p7pro.

Oneplus was a fantastic company that created a phone that combined top of the line hardware with decent software at a very reasonable cost. Unfortunately now enshittification took over. Phones are overpriced, support is nonexistent and resale/trade in value is near zero. My experience was with Op8pro. Probably second best phone I’ve ever owned.

Other manufacturers like Sony, Asus, Nothing and Motorola are really a niche market now. They seem happy targeting a very narrow range of market. I’ve tried several phones from each brand, but never kept one longer than a week.

I’m sticking with pixel at the moment because software is so good it’s actually able to make this steaming pile of shit hardware semi functional.

I used to work in the same industry. We transferred several PBs from West US to Australia using Aspera via thick AWS pipes. Awesome software.

I have a split keyboard, but it includes a num pad. To be fair I was mostly kidding. I realize there are as many opinions on the keyboard as there are people. I also write code occasionally for work, but I wouldn’t sacrifice num pad for space.

I understand, but I’d rather lose the space for mouse next to keyboard than the num pad and I don’t even work with spreadsheets.

Haha, I knew I can trigger one of you guys :-)

Jokes aside that’s an awesome keyboard, just not a useful one to 99% of users out there and I can honestly say I’m on the opposite end of customization spectrum. I have 2 aliases in my bashrc, but if I need to switch to a new computer I can be up and running in 15 minutes while the rest of the team needs 2 days. And even though I’ve had the same computer for the last 5 years, I don’t work noticeably slower than anyone with a ton of customization on their pc.

TKL? That’s your own fault for buying a defective keyboard that’s missing a whole section just because of aesthetics.

Take care of your health in general, but take extra special care of your core. Your back will thank you in 20 years.

The only correct answer is num lock. Caps lock is sort of correct, but it’s a stupid key on anything that’s not a typewriter so I usually disable it so the only correct answer is num lock. No exceptions.

You mean num lock, right? Ctrl actually does something.

My phone translates anything on screen in more or less real time. If the post looks interesting I can read it no matter the language.

Maybe dumb question, but how is it even noticeable? I listen to music in the car and in $100 earphones and usually just ask phone’s assistant to play shit based on my mood. I honestly can’t even tell which service it chooses between Amazon Music, Apple Music or Spotify. What’s the difference exactly?

I don’t know where you live, but in hcol areas mechanics won’t even pick up the phone for that much. So you have to get dealer/private seller to agree to take the car to that mechanic for inspection.

In a hot market if the car is priced reasonably there’s 5 other people in line to get it without inspection.

And then even if you can get the car inspected, mechanic offers you no guarantees. What do you think will happen if your engine explodes a week after you buy that car? You think that mechanic will replace it for free because he missed a big issue?

Your suggestion is awesome if you have a mechanic in the family or as a close friend you can trust. Otherwise just money down the drain really.

Small companies often allow devs access to prod DBs. It doesn’t change the fact that it’s a catastrophically stupid decision, but you often can’t do anything about it.

And of course, when they inevitably fuck up the blame will be on the IT team for not implementing necessary restrictions.
