- avh02They've done great with those Epstein files. Totally published everything./s
- Been given aid*, they didn't rob your banks.
- On a very small personal/hobby level: backblaze (which i like as a company) lost my business, moved stuff over to a European company. I'm not a multi million dollar business but I've started to do what i can.
Would have loved to visit the US and see all the things it has to offer, but absolutely not planning to in this climate. I think the US is currently at billions lost in just Canadian tourism?
- probably offset by travellers hauling less proprietary cables with them on holidays/business trips/commutes, i now travel with basically one cable to charge almost every device
yes, this is a little tongue in cheek, but i do appreciate the standardization around USB-C
edit: people need to just admit their lives got better with this forced change. (this is not a reply to you, general observation)
- Link warns I'm leaving grapheneos.social and then when you click the redirect tried to download some .bin file, wtf?
- well, your facts are wrong, because there were in fact explosives planted in there [1]

- actually i think those that have the most beef with israel are very much in the region.
- Had the same experience, what scared the crap out of me is that feeling of not even knowing you're out is how some people spend their last moment.
Not just in surgery for example but in extreme other situations (nukes, titan sub, piano to the head, etc)... You're just there then you aren't and you don't even know. Shook me (lightly) for a while
- > How can an independent state "infringe on the laws of other countries"?
you don't live on earth, do you?
- it doesn't matter what it does, why it's there, or how often it's used because: 1) skirts the law, 2) infringes on the laws of other countries, and finally 3) it's just so dodgy you have to be asking yourself wtf is going on.
- Wait till you find out about honda
Edit: for context, look up ASIMO.
- Tesla isn't the north star here
- And then there's all the pretend injuries and exaggerating little scratches for the camera and ref. I don't watch sports but seeing that crappy behavior vs what rugby players go through is embarrassing to the footballers.
I was also surprised to hear the ref's conversation with the players (mic) in a rugby game on TV. Made it so much better to all the miming that goes on in football.
Also don't enjoy the ref slowly trotting across the field dramatically to go look at the video replay... Just get another ref to do it and report back or give the lead ref a damn phone to view it on.
- Oh, wow, didn't know that tech existed, and no display either? Both my suggestions don't work then i guess : -(
- I've been going down this rabbit hole, there are two alternative options if you're looking for a side project, 1 is "ai on the edge" (Google it it's a pretty cool project), which is basically an esp32 + camera that takes a photo of your meter on a regular basis and OCRs the data, option 2 is (and I'll be trying this this week) to get a magnetometer hooked up to an esp32 to read the little magnetic pulses the impeller (in my case) makes (which is how the meter hardware they have reads it anyway), can have calibration difficulties but will be so cheap, there are also existing esphome projects for this.
- Not the parent, but dwindling yubikey support (for gpg key storage) is an issue, had to pull out a legacy version on Android for it to keep working (they changed the underlying crypto library and lost the support there)
No ipad version I've found supports yubikey either
- I'm happy to give them (telekom) money because their service works. Vodafone was constantly inferior in my experiences (dsl vs cable as well as their mobile networks). At least i don't have to call vodafone every month like my neighbors do when the internet is down, worth every penny.
- Companies like VFS are basically what the embassies have outsourced work to
- please take a look at what they charge people who have to go through a whole visa process (for me, it starts at 179 USD to _apply_ (which may be rejected))
excluding all the time i'd have to spend and documents I'd have to collect
- Exactly
