Is there an OLED tv on the market now that doesn’t just exist to sell ads?

How do you propose they parent other people’s kids?

But if you make another hole upstream, how do you allow that to heal? It’d be extra holes all the way down up.

Nothing I have done in my career has given me even close to the benefit I got from learning Haskell. I don’t get to use it professionally, but the patterns I learned to recognize in Haskell are everywhere.

maybe this is because I’ve never played a Zelda game

Definitely not it. BotW is a great game, but it’s not a Zelda game. That’s my beef with it and TotK.

This is a really interesting train of thought!

I don’t mean to belittle the actual, real questions here, but I can’t shake the hilarious image of 2 dudes sitting around in a basement, stoned out of their minds getting “deep.”

Bro! What if consciousness isn’t real, and we’re just faking it

Well the VLC one was free, and I’m guessing theirs won’t be.

Other folks in this thread are speculating that they want to put their own video player in the store.

I get asked to prove I’m making a legit login attempt all the time because it’s from a new IP address. 23andMe could have implemented something similar, and given the sensitive nature of the data they host and given how we all know that people can’t be trusted to have good password hygiene, I think they should have been required to do so.

IMO this whole thing is just more proof that we need better regulation around how companies treat users’ private information.

Sorry for ranting towards you, and for any I’ll feelings I bestowed upon you.

Not at all! I’ve enjoyed the conversation!

I couldn’t find anywhere within an hour’s commute of me that sold what I needed at reasonable prices.

Aka good news for almost everyone.

Home Depot prices were 5x the online retailers for the cat6 cabling. (Not an exaggeration. They wanted over $100 for 250ft vs the ~$35 I paid online.)

Also, fuck Bernie Marcus, trumpist shithead. He doesn’t need my money.

This is also a fair point, but it only takes a handful of one-day deliveries to “cover” the cost of prime with what most places are charging for fast shipping. And then that’s not including the many products I’ve never found a decent alternative seller for.

I mean fine; you’re right. I could have sat on my thumbs for 5 days with no WiFi in my living room while I waited for someone else to send what I needed, but why should I have to? Is it completely impossible for a company to provide that convenience without also being a bag of dicks? (Or is that what you meant by regulation?)

For me it’s the fast shipping I can’t live without.

I recently moved into a new apartment and needed to run a network cord from our router to the other side of the apartment to put an access point so we’d have good WiFi coverage. I went online to several other retailers for the few things I needed (cat6, crimp tool, and a few other things), but all of them wanted me to pay ~$25 or more for their slowest shipping option of 5-7 business days.

Meanwhile, Amazon had everything at my door the next day with free shipping. I tried to avoid Bezos, but I couldn’t. :(

Oh I see. Thanks!

How are people feeling about The Mouse having his paws on the show?

It’s been a while since I followed Dr. Who news so I’m pro out of the loop. Why is this labeled “season 1?” Is this not just another regeneration? Is it a reboot or something?

Yep exactly this is what I was thinking the whole time. If you don’t set up activation lock, you’re taking a huge risk. I do agree that maybe they should be more insistent that you set it up (especially since it’s less obvious why you need to with a Mac vs an iPhone).
