I also organised this process at work, and it went rather well, (300ppl 10 year old), but of course no one had health data connected under the company domain, thats a crazy idea and it’s probably good apple enforces that to be deleted / moved / disentangled.

It is also clearly described how to move an account that is used privately to a different domain / mail.

You’re probably right but it’s also true that that is a very (probably unintended) cruel worldview that thought to the end claims all those suffering had it coming, and as such deserves to be called out and those having it should reconsider.

Yes, and a way out of that is open source, where you aren't a customer…

usually a bunch of lights are wired in series, if one burns out all stay dark.

Find and replace the broken one, and all light again!

My Grandpa is a beekeeper, i help him take care of his hives. The honey i get out of that crystallises quickly to a relatively rough texture, and has a deep taste. It is a completely different thing than what you get in the store.

I don’t know if that one is adulterated, or just processed so much that it is all flat and smooth.

Just run your AGI during the day and suspend it at night?

Oh wow, this seems much better than Samsung, they promise 5 years of security updates, but after the first year or so only every six months.

This looks very cool, but no secure boot means i won’t be able to use it at work.

(from the faq:)

> Does iVentoy support secure boot?

> NO. In UEFI mode you must disable secure boot in the BIOS before use iVentoy

If you think about how cruel it is to make illegal the way human culture has worked for millenia, to listen to the storys you hear, retell them, remix them and make them your own in a new context. That is against the law now.

I had the impression it very much depends on the OS, on stock Android it definitely feels broken, with clicking ten times to update an app that just gets stuck, on Lineageos with MicroG and privileged F-Droid extensions its super smooth with autoupdates and everything.

You can just order body parts from Lenovo (true, probably not for t420 anymore) or third party resellers, or just take them from another one.

And there are a lot of Thinkpad service partners stores, mainly for business customers, I bring around 1-3 Thinkpads a month there for repair (we have ours close by).

If you have a Samsung laserprinter with number pad and empty toner / imaging unit try menu # 1904 menu and reset the counter, then happily print thousands of pages more

Yes, they are doing exactly that, having a normal electric train which has batteries under the cars (no extra waggon) for 40-200km of not electrified track. It’s for regional trains though with lower energy needs (and because non electrified long distance tracks really make no sense).

Linking German Wikipedia because it has long history of them and current projects,

nuodag — Sat, 23 Jul 2022 01:37:50 +0000

Berlin also had a trash problem. But it got better when they decided to standardise on a really cheap bright orange trashcan and really flooded the town with those. You see them everywhere in the city, and especially in inner city you might see 15, so whatever you have in your hand the easiest is to just step to the bright orange thing and throw it inside.

Before usually they had also metal ones that needed construction to mount in the ground, those current ones the trash workers can just metal ziptie to lampposts and if one breaks they have a new one in their car.

Not in this market. We're usually buying thinkads in bunches of 20 every few months, and are struggling to get any (decent ones), never mind 50% off.
