Yeah that’s fair, but at the same time, nothing has to go upstream as far as I know. As long as they have their own little sandbox to enshittify, I don’t care if I can get Linux support for my windows only programs

Not particularly, but if their big OS was Linux based, people could get their corporate support, and most of the software keeping people locked into windows would theoretically be able to run on any Linux distro. That’s the dream. I want to run solid works on Linux natively

Imagine a world where they discontinue windows and just focus on azure Linux. I’ll keep dreaming

The stereotypical role nowadays is a position where you are given authority over most people (in certain scenarios at least) and that draws in people with a particular psychology.

That honestly looked easy for you! Nice work

I use stepsy for step counting, energize for macros, openscale for measurement taking, and flexify for workouts. I like then well enough. I know wger combines a lot of that, but I didn’t want to move everything over.

As far as devices go, I’d check out gadgetbridge and see what’s supported and go with that. I don’t use a wrist worn device, so I can’t really comment beyond that.

Just like the g* rmans, the d* nish, Ir*sh, *nd the ch *nese. Fuck unnecessary censoring.

Basically big companies keep trying to move towards the consumer not owning anything (phones/tractors etc with proprietary software/hardware) which generates a ton of waste and costs the consumer more. It goes over some things like things certain States are fighting back. Overall would highly recommend the channel in general

And instead buy a normal phone which Google gets all the data from anyway? I’d rather drive the used market for pixels up slightly than have people get any other phone which hands Google money indirectly. I can’t imagine the small bump in prices in the used market even matters to Google in new phone sales

No, not all questions were answered in the post. He asked why secondhand laptops were a bandaid solution, and the post only made the claim that it was a bandaid fix, without explanation. They said that businesses will basically always be buying new fleet laptops, and thus there will basically always be secondhand laptops. Why wouldn’t that work?

Same I guess. I was gifted a butterfly weed specifically to plant, and that was really cool actually. I don’t want cut flowers for the aesthetics lol

Generally speaking, do most men even want flowers? I ask as one that couldn’t care less. A card is fine or some other token of appreciation, but flowers seen pointless to me, so I wonder how alone in that I am.

Lol fuck that

You’re right, it is standard for cars in general, but that’s my point. I can’t say it’s the case for all modern makers, but the one reference I can go off from is polestar and it has all that shit figured out and it’s a new EV company (mostly/kind of at least). I don’t know if its the same for companies like Tesla, Rivian, Lucid, etc. There’s no reason not to change the dash settings when that’s all stored in a computer now unlike back in the day where the head unit and heat controls with separate entities entirely from the seat settings. It just seems like a hold over from how things used to be done.

I know the shit I laid out are all updatable with a software update to add toggles and I’ve heard guesses that that fishtailing is an issue with torque vectoring or something (bad tire choices could be part too, but it drives fine in snow). Its still a problem for a legacy vehicle maker that should have it more figured out than they do right now.

Sure that’s fair, and I can’t even say that’s because they’re a legacy car maker, but my polestar has that shit locked in. I think some of that is because they’re legacy, and some are just stupid decisions or lack of respect for the driver. I just wanted to highlight some things I personally fine “wrong” with Kias in my experience. I won’t get one again

Its personal preference. It make the drive a lot less smooth for me. It always slows down way too early and has me brake for things that I don’t need to brake for. It slammed the brakes for someone in a turn lane and people braking and moving over where I can move over a little and be fine. I don’t passively drive and notice the unnecessary slow downs constantly.

There’s a lot to like, but also a lot of frustrating stuff. We have a EV9 gt line. The paddles to change regen breaking is nice, but it doesn’t save the setting in between sessions for some fucking reason. It also doesn’t seem to save a lot of personal preference to the driver profiles, it saves mirror and seat positions, but not audio or temp/fan settings. The drive settings (snow mode, etc) doesn’t persist for some reason either. It fishtails constantly if its remotely slippery out in the winter. It feels like it’s trying to throw me off the road. And there seemingly no options to use regular cruise control and only has adaptive cruise, which I fucking hate.

I wish it were that easy. I’m probably north of 10x faster designing in Solidworks compared to freecad, ignoring drawings. Obviously that will chance in time and practice, but right now I can’t really do something that people expect to be billed ~50 hours of design and it takes 250, that ends things pretty quickly. There also isn’t a lot of down time on the job to tinker and learn, so that’s done on my free time. And I’m in the position to choose what we use to design, not everyone is.

My, how the turn tables…

Regarding protein, the powders are something that are entirely optional depending on your diet. If you can reach your protein goals (0.7-1 gram protein per pound of ideal body weight, or 1 g per cm in height if you’re overweight) without whey, then you don’t need to supplement. Same thing with protein bars. If you struggle to get enough protein, then it’s really helpful to use.

One side note is that it’s also important to get that protein daily, not just on without days. You build muscle on rest days too. That’s a mistake I made when I was younger, and it make a big difference.
