That makes a lot of sense, and I think it’s something that would have helped me during high school.

Perhaps it means that a change to the policy can’t be used to justify actions taken that would have broken a prior version of the policy but which don’t violate the new one. Granted, I don’t have a complete understanding of the legal enforceability of a company’s privacy policy.

I really hope this doesn’t happen. The relative simplicity and reliability of Google docs in my experience has always been one of its major advantages over Microsoft Office, not to mention its near seamless real time collaboration functionality.

Which tailscale plug-in are you using? The official one seems to only support automation and getting some tailnet metrics and does not connect your Home Assistant machine to your tailnet.

Why unfortunate? Also, I love your username. I think many of us could have guessed that you spoke Catalan from that alone ;).

If that were feasible and comparably efficient (which I doubt), then yes, I imagine they ought to!

I suspect they were being sarcastic.

Any kind of stealthiness for one. There are versions of the F-15 which attempt to be more stealthy than the base airframe, but it’s a far cry from being as stealthy as any purpose-built aircraft.

Presumably yes, for both of the same reasons, or at least the first one.

Apparently it’s not even the most realistic it could be! From the footer:

Did Amazon actually drop this? I haven’t used prime in a very long time but this was pretty much the only reason I bothered.

I’d say “el chico” translates more to “the lad”, but perhaps this is a matter of regional dialects.

> Apple's only real mistake was not keeping ESC a fixed hard key.

They’ve added that back for a few years now, but I agree. I used to own one of the 2016 MBPs with a Touch Bar and the lack of a physical escape key drove me insane. Even though I sold that laptop, I had actual while-asleep nightmares about the horrifically bad keyboard for a while too.
