Woof.

They injected internet ads into search

They did? Like filesystem search? I don’t see that.

I just went full linux on my daily driver about a year ago after running a headless linux media server for a few years.

Can someone explain to me why Ubuntu is so terrible? Is it not difficult enough to use or something?

I worked as a consultant at a product development firm. One of our clients had us making a kitchen appliance that would take a “pod” of some kind (like Keurig).

Their little ad video that they made before involving us had a little CG video showing the pod floating into the receiver and sliding down into the machine.

When we showed them the prototype, the first question we got is if the pod receiver thing was motorized.

Like…no. You push it down. Takes 1 second.

Anyway replacing a phone battery does not need to be automated.

That article covers a pitch deck by an ad agency with absolutely zero detail of how it works.

If this is happening, it should be easy to test.

Do you connect to company WiFi?

You are in the same geolocation as other people and they are searching for the stuff you’re talking about. Try whispering to your phone alone in a closet.

God I thought it was just me.

Is this the guy who just mugs for the camera before showing screenshots of some forum that may actually have your answer?

Rough service bulbs live longer in environments with high amounts of physical stress, temperature variation, and vibration. They don’t live longer in general.

The lifespan of an incandescent is dictated by the evaporation rate of tungsten and directly related to the wattage.

This is largely a myth. Higher wattage bulbs burn out faster, but they also operate more efficiently. Bulbs are fairly cheap, but electricity is expensive.

During ordinary operation, the tungsten of the filament evaporates; hotter, more-efficient filaments evaporate faster.[115] Because of this, the lifetime of a filament lamp is a trade-off between efficiency and longevity.

Not really. Mouthwash as well before bed. Never struggle with odor. And I wear a night guard to boot.

Edit: oh and a tongue scraper helps

I floss and electric toothbrush every night. My dentist routinely complements my hygiene. Every cavity I’ve had filled in the past 8 years started from before I had an e-brush.

At a recent visit after remarking on how little plaque I had, my dentist asked if I brush twice a day. I told him no, only once a day.

He immediately changed his tune and told me that I should brush twice a day for better results.

I think he’s in the pocket of Big Paste.

Well I mean the false ending

Yeah, it is frustrating that the license is tied to the physical disc. Especially when they won’t send you a replacement for a damaged disc.

I personally buy, rip, and keep the physical discs of my collection which is now well over 1,000 titles. It’s a lot of work, and takes up a lot of space, but it’s also a hobby I enjoy. I’d much prefer if I could just buy a license for the film and watch it or store it however I want.

You know, this might actually be a decent application for NFTs.

Eh. A few more steps to rip the content, but not bad really.

Now UHD Blu-ray is a different story. There are a limited number of drives that could do it before their firmware was patched.

That’s why I like to check if someone has already rooted a purpose-built gadget before buying.

My RabbitAI will make a nice little MP3 player when the company folds.

Figured someone would do it better than me. Thanks for the correction
