Flying international from Australia I really miss headphone ports. The USB port is needed to keep the phone charged, since even the biggest batteries only give you about 4 hours of YouTube. My Bluetooth headphones last about 16hrs, so that’s almost enough. I usually carry alternative Bluetooth earbuds that last several hours to cover such gaps
Australia has a rule that phones have to have a warranty for at least as long as the contract period. So most of ours are paid off in 2 years, and that’s when the carriers start advertising at you heavily
There’s already a glut of tech workers. The IT job market already sucks
I don’t imagine AI is going to make it much worse
I wonder if the numbers would be higher if there wasn’t so much crossover between Linux users and unwillingness to pay for stuff that can be gotten for free
It was probably sports that made VHS the winner. Porn was on both technologies (and available at local video rental places in Australia at least).
VHS could handle a full gridiron game (but not a cricket match) but Betamax couldn’t.
You can get a good approximation, multiply the pie graph percentages by a plausible population of PornHub users, get plausible numbers for each group, use those numbers to work out plausible numbers for the second graph
Why do you use Lemmy, given the politics of its own source creator? Bit hypocritical.
So you won’t buy the most user maintainable and repairable laptop, that also comes with Linux and probably worth open source firmware in the not too distant future because you don’t like the politics of the owner of an open source project the company supports?
That really feels like cutting off your nose to spite your face
BODMAS or BOMDAS in Australia since we call ordinals ordinals
Brackets have pretty much always been needed to disambiguate precedence between addition and subtraction (which is really all addition) and between multiplication and division
Are you talking about the one that detected the malware in openSSH?
I think it’s Russian uninsured ships “accidentally” dragging anchors across major fibre optic links rather than sharks chewing them
Last time I asked one to write a heliostat driving program I had to tell it how to find the angle to point the mirror, which was better than the previous one which I also had to ask it to use real libraries to get the sun’s altitude and azimuth
I discovered that removing Cortana also removed typing as far as windows is concerned. I could type in anything but OS controls.
I needed to reinstall “basic typing” to work again (their advice is “delete your language pack, then reinstall it, after reinstalling Cortana”)
Does it solve the problems or do you tell it how to?
I think you need to mention that the bottom guy also gets whacked by the rake after rail sliding it and landing on it; landing on a rake doesn’t imply being brained by it
Of course there are also harmless and edible creatures that have bright colours in order to look poisonous or venomous
I mean the word’s common meaning. I understand the physics use of the word is not the same as the common word, that’s my point. The use of the word has caused enormous confusion with even some physicists claiming that human observers matter (presumably to reinforce religious beliefs)
A Linux phone won’t help with the problem side loading stopping problem.
Last time I used side loading was on a driving trip in Italy, I wanted the ZTA app so I could see where I wasn’t able to drive and plan routes that avoided ZTAs. A Linux phone wouldn’t have helped as no one would publish such an app for Linux unless the user population was in the tens of percentage
ZTAs are the no cars allowed areas, usually the middle of towns
