Hard to believe the video when they use all AI generated clips.

It's also abused by soo many devs, just wanting there app to be seen 24/7 by the users, regardless if there app gains anything from being in the menu bar. That's why many users run out of space. Most people don't look at settings or ways to remove them (if they even give an option), so they quickly fill up the menu bar. Back in the day without a notch, people would have so many that some menu items would disappear too.

The Azure management UI, yes, so slowww. But the services (VMs etc) have been good.

They should've setup an endowment fund, could've been self sustainable by now.

Even the built in venv would've solved most of his issues too. But I agree with him in that Python documentation could be better. Or have a more unified system in place. I feel like every other how to doc I read on setting something Python up uses a different environment containment product.

I find it helps if you paste in the the ffmpeg manual and get the ai to use that as source. Helps it stick to real params.

I wasn't a fan either. But you get used to it.

I don't mind using Apple's native Hypervisor framework, it's better then QEMU (speed/overhead), but Apple has no support to passthrough USB ports. https://github.com/utmapp/UTM/issues/3778

I love how you can scob the timeline and the weather updates as you move it, in real time. It's the biggest thing I don't like about Windy, it's so slow/laggy when changing the timeline. (Maybe it's better if you live in the US, but here in NZ, it's pain)

While maybe not the best work ever done by govt. It's the first thing (as a non-US person) that I've seen that the govt is trying to do something about the unhealthy % population of the US.

Though I wish they'd go after sugar/processed foods/drinks industry. And increase healthy foods in stores. Get rid of white bread etc, put in real whole meal bread (like they have in Germany)

It was a wild day when I realised not everyone changed channels or muted when an ad played on live tv. Can't believe people watch them.

"The only thing that helps against horrible neighbors is moving. If you've never learned that lesson, you've never had horrible neighbors."

Having lived next to a terrible neighbour for over 20 years, I can confirm a horrible neighbour never changes into a considerate one. And often they're the ones that never sell or move (why would they, they're having a great time..). Almost all the neighbours properties around here have been sold a few times, but not him.

Lucky we've been lucky with our other neighbours who are (currently, and most of the owners of the past too) all very nice people.

We'd love to move, but we really like the location, house and garden. That and anything similar is priced out of our range.

We used to think we got really lucky with the price of our place, but maybe no one bought it because they knew the neighbour that lived there.

But yeah, if you can move, move. Don't hang around hoping things will get better, they usually don't.

It makes me a little sad to see a lot of peoples comments here about how they're annoyed by xyz thing someone does that doesn't stop at there fence line or unit. So many are being downvoted.

Yeah, don't try AWS. I tried it once and now I'm stuck with $0 bill emails coming each month that I can't stop.

Corporate probably loaded up the laptop with work monitoring software, and some terrible AV software. Among other bloatware. A PC of your spec should run without noticeable delay, something else is going on there.

Having said that, Windows has made a lot of the basic functionality way to resource heavy.

You can install Asahi Linux on some of the M chips. But you are right, it's not as easy as it used to be.
