This sounds like a neat concept.

It’ll probably end up full of spam, bots and marketed b.s after a year, but it’ll be cool at first.

Sure we lost that particular job, but we also gained the job of driving around with a cam car collecting data. Then there’s who ever takes all those pictures and compiles them into street view. Sure its highly automated, but someone had to automate it…

Imgine what the hunters thought when they lost their jobs to farms.

Also rembered what community this was on after I typed all that out…

Neat.

Does android auto work? Last I herd it did not…

Not sure but my city refuses to tear some down old buildings for "historical prosperity. These aren’t even nice buildings, they’re all condemed generic concrete blocks.

Price is probably #1.

Bit of speculation here with no real sources ; There was a boom in late 2022 through 2023 when people could finally reliably get parts again. I’m guessing many who wanted to upgrade already did in the past 2 years. Anyone who got a new computer in 2020 onward should be fine for at least a few more years. I think the average is around 7 years.

The market will probably see a surge between 2027-2030 as people begin replacing their “covid era” computers.The market right now is mainly seeing anyone with a pre-covid computer who bought a nice top of line machine for about 1k. They’re looking at current pricing and choosing to go with today’s mid-low teir, which will outclass their old 201x top of the line computer.

Another factor could be AAA gaming hasn’t exactly been pumping out hit new tiles the last 5 years. People who wanted to play cyberpunk or Eldon ring already upgraded by the time Wukon came out.

With less new games requirng the latest and greatest means the need to upgrade is going drop too.

Again all speculation…

Na, that’s a total valid point. In school you could tell anyone who’s note book was a giant yellow soggy mess was not going to adjust well to adult life.

Must have been made by the same author of the windows file copy dialog.

I’d just play it safe, avoid anything that could remotely be considered “suspicious”.

If you can bring your own media, bring a few offline shows and movies, books or what ever else you like.

Otherwise stick to nonral websites.

Ramsey has some views that don’t align with everyone. The important thing to keep in mind is that America is so diverse, your neighbor could be a different religion and most of us (despite what media will lead you to belive) don’t give a fuck.

If I were to re-work the advice to be less extreme, I’d say don’t put your self in a finacial struggle trying to help your parents.

There’s a lot terrible articles with clickbate titles too. A lot of the articles I’m interested reading are either clickbate/ragebait or way out of context or just completely false.

I’m not aware of major downsides to using a different luncher.

The biggest incovience is initial setup and putting your home screen apps back where they belong.

Spend a few hours to escape to some of google bloat and set your search bar to use Firefox (which has ublock support).

You can change it on other launchers.

Personally I like neolauncher.

https://github.com/NeoApplications/Neo-Launcher The search bar can be set to immediately directly open Firefox search, or you can pick form a list of various engines.

There’s a dozen other launchers to try. Lawnchair is a more popular choice, probably better for someone switching from pixel default. There’s a few very specific features it’s missing for me.

If you search Lemmy for “Nova Launcher” you’ll find some threads listing a dozen alternatives due to nova’s downfall.

Guys this a fake review from the zombies! Never let your gaurd down.

This is an Intresting one. I’m curious what the deal was.

Assuming accuweather is paying Firefox, thats probably a good thing because Firefox definatly needs to diversify its income.

I wonder what exactly AccuWeather gets. Is only for more web traffic (which is significant) or is it something else?

#1) “Hey bestie, I know a guy who will pay us to model for an ad about Canadian Oil.”

#2) “okay…”

#3) “okay, ladies this will be quick, put on these outfits.”

#2) “why do I get the skimpy one, are you sure this isn’t another porno?”

#1) “yes, I’m sure. He said its going on Facebook or something.”

#3) “Okay, now #2 lean over #1, get in real close like your about to kiss her”

#2) “…”

Big LED light outside bathroom

paper sign underneath light “vaping detected”

The amount of over enginnering that went into this is why we can’t have nice things.

You’d expect some sort of privacy in bathrooms

That is the whole point of this mess. The alternative is a person or camera INSIDE the bathroom at all tines. The camera would be so much cheaper to deploy…but privavcy laws, rightfully, say no.

With the sensor all it does is say “smoke/vape detected”, from there an adult can check the hall cam to see who went in or just go right in to catch the kid.

I assume with the monitor, it makes it easy for a teacher sitting outside the bathroom and can see the popup (in some schools they already have them to check passes and listen for screeming)

I will second this, please buy a thermometer or two. I like the ones that tell you the min/max temp its recorded. (Random example, never bought this particular one, check reviews etc.

I looked at multiple sources to double check the correct temperature, many agree that the freezer should be at 0°F (-18°C)). Water freezes (and by extention most everything else) at 32°F (0°C), siginficatly higher than the recommended 0. Here’s the sceinific Wikipedia article about why, TLDR: not every food freezes at 0°C, so set freezer low enough everything will freeze.

I found this article that goes over all kinds of food storage info (fridge and how the produce drawers work, freezer temp, pantry etc.)

https://www.energy.gov/energysaver/refrigerator-freezer-use-and-temperature-tips

While you wait for your thermometer, ensure nothing is blocking the freezer vents (you said you did that) and turn that thing up.

The non-scientific, not recommended check; Your icecream should roughly be something in between a rock and butter. If its a rock, its too cold, and its its butter/soup its too warm.
