Yes, it exists, but how available is it really? If I recall correctly, the injections are also not very pleasant.

"Gilead sells LEN at very high prices (over $28,000 per person per year in the US), severely restricts its supply to certain countries, and refuses to sell it directly to Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières"

But not in the EU, because of the DMA :/

I had exactly the same issue with Anthropic API. It was only $15, but I was so annoyed when they just decided that they'll take my money for free. If it's really the law as some people state, it's a stupid law.

I think my Zalando gift cards expire after 4 years.

As far as I know, the lithography machines are indeed running 24/7 (barring servicing).

They also announced a Linux version in early 2026.

You're probably aware, but they recently added the actual cost of used tokens on the Billing page. This is much better than the token count on its own.

Another trap I see in your list is wasting 3-4 hours for unpaid work:

- 2 hours commute daily? This seems crazy. Never had such a commute and most of my life I could walk or cycle to the university/work, so I gained some free exercise time.

- 1 hour overtime daily? What for?

- Lunch outside of work? (This is where my additional hour came from) Thankfully this never happened to me in my actual career.

Probably Peta => Peter who is one of the main characters in the show.

Just information. I don’t know rare this case is, I use my iPad mostly with magic keyboard which has a touchpad.

Honestly it doesn’t bother me at all because it only applies to UI elements and not the websites link or buttons.

SietrixDev — Thu, 01 May 2025 10:53:42 +0000

For me it's exactly other way around. First window is fast, another file is slow.

I never was a pro at Adobe stuff, but recently I bought Affinity Suite and it seems nice. The only downside for me is lack of Linux support.

I have a different issue. First window of Excel starts fast, but try to open another file and you'd think that I just didn't click on it. 10 second wait times and I'm on a private machine without any corporate bloat.

I don’t think I’m a power user and I’m constantly over 1000 searches / month. Just a few days ago I upgraded my plan to the highest tier to play with the better models and in a few days it’s gonna renew for a year at this tier.

If I’m gonna use the AI assistant with web access I’d assume my searches are gonna go up even more.

This. I didn’t know it was EU only thing, but sometimes you have a map displayed in Google search results and there’s no way to actually go to Google Maps beside clicking “directions” button (and I think even this button isn’t always there).

Just recently I’ve created a bang in Kagi which redirects me to Google Maps roughly around my home with a query that I typed.

If I could assign a bookmark to a container, that would be great.

I don’t like Sidebery and it doesn’t really work for me.

Another thing that annoys me in Firefox is that they recently changed the sidebar. I still use Firefox though.

Rant over.

My iPhone 15 Pro Max, first use on September 2023 is at 98% capacity. Charged mostly on a wireless charger and the charge limit set to 80%.
