Thanks, yes they did misunderstand. If 57 is the “real” price I’m effectively paying for 1 year of service and getting 2. Also there are no penalties for cancellation after the first year, so if i wanted to go through the trouble of finding another ISP, I could walk away then.
I’d love to see a comeback of vehicles like 1980s Toyota and Mazda pickups. Just a bit taller than sedans, good sized bed. I never understood the popularity of trucks that almost need a mini ladder to get into when they’re being used strictly in an urban or suburban setting.
Honestly, these “promises” never last. I had ATT at $50/mo for home internet service and was promised it would never go up. Last year it went to $60 and this year $65. I just switched to Xfinity. More Mbps than ATT, promotional price of $20/mo for a year, it goes up to 35 for year 2, then after that the promotion is over and it’s $57. After the 3rd year ends it will probably go up, but they’ve basically given me 1 free year of internet.
I’m okay with it too. It adds context. If they referred to her as “she” describing the period she was a married father with kids it could be confusing.
I scanned a ton of my mom’s family photos after she passed, and uploaded them to Google Photos. It’s a bit shocking how good it is at guessing the same person at different ages, even 20+ years’ difference.
Kaiser, which is a major hmo here in California, has been putting solar panel parking shade in their lots. The community college in my town has it too. I can’t think of any downsides to them other than the installation cost. Everyone likes shade from sun and rain, and free electricity.
I bought airtags for my luggage and keys, but they’re registered to my iPad which is not my EDC device and is large. My main device is an Android. If I don’t take the iPad with me, eventually my Android will pop up with an “unknown tracker following you” message. The message iets you ring it to locate it, but nothing else. The annoyingest thing is that i cannot tell the android phone it is mine and known, and please stop pinging me about it.
Heck, they shouldn’t even wait for the drone to show up to do that!
And Wirecutter used to be good but they will occasionally point out how highly rated something is, and cross checking against falespot et al indicates a lot of fake reviews.
Question: if you skipped signing in to Microsoft when you set up Windows, does this f’upgrade still happen?
Google Fi also includes a VPN, I wonder if that’s going as well?
That “other” is the possible Freudian slip.
But she does have somewhat of a point. Though it’s female and tech and medical - a closer comparison - women in tech leadership roles do get more questioned on their competence than do men.
Mine is 9 years old, I’ve bought toner for it once, and it shows no signs of age. It also looks pretty identical to the picture, and with its layer of dust, even a little blurry too.
For whatever reason, it’s intentional (the text says “A blurry photo of a Brother laser printer.”) Maybe just saying any Brother is fine as long as it’s a Brother?
Maybe they should keep hammering Russia until Putin stops blaming Ukraine
Didn’t Musk refuse to enable Starlink in Crimea? I’ll be the first to admit I don’t know how Starlink works, but wouldn’t he have the same level of control over connections from terminals bought/used by Russia?
I think I got my CS degree too early, i.e. before the web was a thing. Basically, things have changed so much from the late 80s to now that everything except the basics are all out of date. I was in the school of Math as opposed to Engineering, so we were coding in Pascal and doing simulations and stuff. I think it would have been better to learn C, though obviously that’s in hindsight. I did take a class in DBMS which served me well some 20 years later when I became a database manager/developer because that language did not change too much. OOP I had to learn from scratch and it was a bit mind blowing.
I’ve been using Android Studio and Visual Studio code and it’s annoying that stuff is constantly getting updated, but also amazing that these IDEs take care of so much of that stuff for you. Even when I started coding Android about 9-10 years ago you had to manually download and install all these stupid packages. Now the IDE just announces it’s doing it and you go get a cup of coffee and wait for it to finish.

Hertz is also selling a lot of its rental Teslas, which is probably cutting into the new car sales.
Fi makes it pretty clear that use outside the US is meant to be temporary (unless you’re on military duty overseas). The person you replied to got a really long run and honestly has no cause for complaint.
