If everyone decides to do the same activity we die, that's not a really good argument.

I have a woodworking project on hold because I can't decide how to do the joins.

Me too. But I always have the screen on the lowest brightness possible and use ublock. I mostly read text based pages.

That's a lot, I usually use old phones from family members, most of them have 4 years of use by the time I get them and I get a whole day of usage from the battery.

Something similar happened to me, a few months after refusing the "offer" that same site had an article mentioning our product but it was all fabricated negative stuff.

Does anyone had a good experience with foldable phones? The only people I know that bought one had them broken near the 2 year mark.

My phone from 2018 it's still working perfectly.

It's a shame because from the experience of people around me their appliances are some of the best, I mean for washing machines, fridges, etc.

Is this just delayed trash? At some point someone will throw it out.

It would be great to be able to create "art" and add something that degrades it.

Besides the context, ask it to specify how it knows a given tech is being used.

I just realized this whole thread is an ad. haha. GFY

Just give the page to chatgpt and ask what they use. Give them as much info as you can.

Haha. I run a service that compiles IP addresses used by proxy services and a few months ago my own IP got there.

Turned out to be a friend that installed an app to watch soccer matches for free and in return he became a node of one of those services.

Nice. I had a file with code samples (old code I wrote), including formatting and I asked to use it as a reference.

Will try your approach to distill the code to bullet points.

If you have the resources to clone other "apps" instead of working on your own, either you have too many free resources or your "app" is too simple and someone will copy it using fable, allegory, apologue, parable, or the the next LLM that ships in the next few days.

Hello Joe.

How does the USD1 minimum works? Say I have setup a pull zone and i don't use it for over a month, I get charged anyway?

Thanks.

does it makes sense to compare the two given that waymos are driven in a limited set of circumstances and most of the times below speeds that could kill you on a crash?

A friend works in construction and they have details of how much materials each part of a construction needs. Most of it comes directly from the (not sure the name) SW they use to calculate the structure/ draw the plans.

just thinking, I've talked with a mechanic but he told me that now when they connect the car to a computer they almost always find anything wrong with a car, that and the experience they have they almost always know what's wrong.

I think sound + location could be really interesting, because you can filter parts of the car that could be making noises that are similar knowing where the mic is.
