What is a non-mechanical mechanical part?

There are giant swaths of area with no coverage, especially in the mountains of arizona, including the freeways and especially highways. The entire western US can be spotty with signal out in the great wide open. It isn't until the Midwest and more east that one should largely not worry about signal coverage anymore.

The irony seems lost on you. It's like calling up your ex to tell her you're not thinking about her.

Am I the only one around here that just wads up an adequate amount, based on thickness? Even the cheapest of toilet paper is never an issue with this method.

What is why it is not being "downloaded"? It seems you don't actually understand how it works. You realize we are talking on a federated network right now, yeah? You must be trolling.

Point it out and share it with everyone. That's what FOSS is all about. I bet you won't.

Have you at all attempted to look? It's open source.

Buddy, we are talking about planes. But no, that isn't the issue.

Google Maps is always dead on for me. I regularly drive very long distances across the US. The time estimates are within minutes of accurate even when there are sudden or extreme backups like in Los Angeles. There's plenty to criticize Google for, but it isn't Google maps for me.

That domain was registered in 2020.

One of his videos about task manager is one of those YouTube videos that just won't go away from being suggested for me.

I imagine water resistance comes in handy quite often for many people. It has certainly saved me countless times. Not that I need to go swimming or deep sea diving with my phone, but I have dropped phones in water, been stuck in the rain, spilled a glass of water, etc. I ruined many phones before it became common.

I'm not going to entertain your buffoonery.

I've used it for years and somehow had no clue they even had sms support. Doesn't really matter to me because SMS is wildly unreliable for the location I'm at anyway. I'd rather use the actual app if still given the choice. I can understand the move to drop support for it, to be honest.

I can infer what you mean by "particular things", but I've never really heard of that amongst anyone I know. Many people think that of whatsapp, too.

Pretty cool. Nice job (Assuming you are the author) and thanks for sharing

Despite autopilot's flaws, this is already true, if we are speaking statistically.

As a programmer and system admin, I've been using Google since its inception, too. I can't think of an instance that I've failed to find whatever I'm looking for in recent times. People say what you're saying a lot, so I don't doubt you. It just makes me wonder what it is you guys are searching for because I search for some extremely obscure stuff quite often with no issues. This is all to say, I have a fair share of qualms with Google, but the search engine itself isn't one of them.

I hear what you're saying and I'm not trying to promote Whatsapp, but want to note that backups do offer encryption. They did not use to and I believe it is off by default, however.

There's really not much to it. I don't understand why you're so dumbfounded such a thing is possible. People steal or buy up formula. Those who steal it make a profit no matter what price they sell it at. Those who live in an area where it sells out have the ability to mark it up big time. Paying 10 extra bucks is better than driving hours away with the hope they have it in stock there. People will sell it on offerup, craigslist, facebook, etc. Search for "formula" offerup if you're in the US and you'll likely see it. This was especially a problem during Covid and we saw the same scheme extend to many other products. In 2022, there was a massive shortage for the better part of a year. Any that came around got bought up immediately - by some that were lucky enough to get it at the right time and the rest by scalpers. This is not a new thing and I find it surprising that you're so surprised. I often see them locked up and purchase limits at the store because of this.

Maybe it is my ad blocker that is filtering this kind of stuff for me. Or maybe the things I look up most often are specific enough that there isn't much bullshit or clickbaity stuff to show. Sure, I'll see the occasional "Sponsored" link. I think my brain just auto-filters those and I don't even take notice. I really don't intend to sound like a Google fanboy - I'm not. I just don't seem to experience this, but hear people say this a lot. The attached screenshot seems like a typical result for something I'd look up, and it's exactly what I'm looking for. In any case, thanks for your perspective. I'm going to try to be more conscious to see if I'm just fooling myself.

Holy naivete, my sweet summer child. This has nothing to do with conservatives. This is a well-known scheme that is problematic in many areas.

I wouldn’t mind if they moved Signal to use smart contracts for messaging, but call they have to come up with is crypto? Lol.

You do not need crypto to call with it. It is simply a payment mechanism. I don't see anything wrong with it. If anyone is uninterested, they can simply turn it off or not use it. Conversely, burning up fees to interact with smart contracts to message is what seems more silly to me. There'd be no opting out of that.

Agreed. I highly recommend a bidet. Feels so gross without one. But this works in a...... Pinch

Most companies try to gain and retain customers. You're suggesting that at Chipotle, they sat down and decided to actively not help theirs?

If just sharing one window isn't feasible for these reasons, my go-to is to use OBS.

While it is certainly nice to have continued support, I think I'd disagree that forcing companies to maintain software on legacy/outdated hardware is something that should be legislated. I think that would greatly stifle innovation in a lot of cases.
