They were right, they are an untrustworthy seller.

Reminds me of when all their customer data leaked, and obviously the people who pirated didn’t have that issue.

last two phones I bought were $250 off of aliexpress.

Before that I got used phones from relatives who upgraded, but that was at the time when a newer model was actually a big improvement generation-to-generation. Then everyone started to use their phone until it became completely useless so I had to buy new.

Aliexpress xiaomi/poco phones used to be better value, the next time I buy I phone I’ll probably get a previous generation or 2 flagship from a mainstream company because waterproofing would be nice.

If you’re a convenience store but pallets of Coca Cola, then they kind-of can. They can just blacklist you from buying Coca Cola in the foreign country.

It’s also different because they’re selling you continuous access one month at a time instead of a physical good you drink and they can’t take away from you. I’ve been to places where service costs are lower for locals than for tourists, and this is told to you outright. Stuff like museums, taxis, etc. It’s a similar idea YouTube has.

Prices are also almost never based on cost, they’re based on what people will pay.

I live in Canada, and cars are more expensive here than in the USA. US dealerships near the border refuse to sell new cars to Canadians, even though it’s legal for everyone as long as you make sure to pay duties on the way back. I’m guessing each brand has some rule against it.

Ultimately VPN users aren’t a protected class so it’s legal to discriminate.

Can you not do something with gparted on a live usb? Or are the files that fucked?

Don’t fix what’s not broke.

All the other animals are copying them anyways with carcinisation, meanwhile they already figured it out.

Android games are different because old ones use currently unsupported libraries, and you’re not supposed to run old versions of android. That’s more a problem with how Google thinks android has to work.

PC games and PlayStation store games don’t really make sense to de-list like this because win10 is very backwards-compatible with software, and PS4/PS5 games that are released and work don’t need any upkeep.

The reason this corvid study is different from intuitively knowing that 10-10=no berries is where this 0/empty set is represented on the numberline.

Considering 0 as a number vs the empty set are two different concepts. It’s the difference between having a bank account with $0, vs having no bank account. They don’t close your account when you have $0, so it’s still an amount of money.

Crows considering 0 on the numberline, and differently from the empty set shows they have a more abstract concept of numbers than we thought.

Idk who authored this study, seems like a very specific kind of person who is both into number theory and neural pathways of birds to design.

You can find subtitles online separately, because the subtitles aren’t really cracked down on by copyright enforcement (since it’s only text files that you need to have already found the movie to use).

I like your idea of something like an audio track, but only for dialogue/audio that was changed in the translation. This doesn’t really exist, but it’d be cool if it did, especially for stuff like The Simpsons where jokes change to make more sense to different audiences.

They got rid of pop up headlights but allow this bullshit.

I’d rather get hit by a NA Miata than a modern Ford F150

It’s been long enough that most of the people who wanted an M processor as their next laptop now got one, so I don’t think it’s surprising that sales are down, after the initial blips.

Overall computers are on the down. More people do their computing on tablets or just phones most of the time. In richer countries, windows marketshare is decreasing, and Apple’s is increasing. Not really sure what else apple could do that they actually want to do.

It’d be nice if they had a MacBook SE type thing, but I don’t think they’d do that. Chromebooks captured the education market so it’s probably too late to do anything there. Mac minis are never in a position to break into the business small-PC realm because they aren’t cheap enough. Also it’d be nice if mac minis were cheaper/better-value and more expandable, but people have asked that for years and never got it.

Storage replaceabity is a serious problem for their desktop offerings, but that’s been an issue forever and they don’t care because they sell iCloud, and their monthly services businesses are doing well.

It’s annoying how inconvenient it is to exercise with a phone nowadays. The armbands needed for a phone compared to an old iPod are comically large, and they’re so big they bounce around.

Smart watches aren’t quite what I want, they’re annoying because they’re not quite phones, and you still need a phone hanging around if you’re using Spotify or other apps and control the media using the watch.

An iPhone 4 or even iPhone 5c sized phone would be perfect for me

For everyone else needing to block stuff:

Torrents:

• 1337x for torrents
• YTS for HD movies
• EZTV for shows

Streaming:

• fmovies
• popcornflix
• stremio
• movie.sqeezebox.dev

Weird that it listed crackle, I thought that was owned by Sony and had licensed stuff on it. I remember using it twice on my PSP because that was the only streaming video app for it.

Also weird to list snagfilms which was also licensed stuff

The forest is bad practice with passwords, since you get an email of your password after setting it.

The tree is OP not knowing how to describe why it’s bad and saying the wrong reason why.

This is probably good justice, but idk if it’s going to reduce drunk driving.

It’s crazy to me that in America drunk driving (with no victims) isn’t a felony on its own. In Canada it’s their version of a felony and generally a way bigger deal. In America you seem to only have consequences when someone’s hurt.

Crazy that MADD was able to lobby to get all states to have 21 as the legal drinking age but not able to lobby to make drunk driving a felony because it’s too ingrained into America since people like going to bars but don’t wanna pay for cabs and have no other transit options.

I got back into running lately, hurt my knee and had to take a break, using the very cushioned Hoka Clifton 8.

I think I increased mileage too quickly, but this video makes me think it might be the shoes since before my running hiatus, I used to cover more ground with very flexible Nike Freeruns and was fine although my feet hurt more. Probably only 10k/week back then though.

Right now taking a break because the outside of one of my knees clicks when I bend it.

Any specific vibram model recommendation for sidewalk/hard surfaces?

I have narrow feet at the middle, idk what shoe I’m supposed to buy because anything that’s wide at the toe is usually too wide midfoot and results in feeling like my shoes are going to role around my feet no matter how I tie them.

Also what shoe are you supposed to buy if you’re running on road or sidewalk? Those barefoot shoes are too thin soled IMO, unless you run on dirt paths

I guess my feet aren’t in too bad of shape since I can wiggle my toes sideway and grab stuff with my bigtoe and middle toe

Cathode Ray Dude and Techmoan if you want to see retro tech.

It’s crazy how much artistry went into mechanical engineering of tape decks and stuff like that before circuit boards and components were small enough that everything is uncreative.
