They get to create useful things unlike a lot of white collar jobs

I believe OP means a screenshot including the mouse cursor, but IIRC that is an option in snipping tool while using the countdown timer.

I get this a lot. I use the libredirect browser extension to open reddit pages in libreddit now.

I just turn off JavaScript and then right click works again.

I've had that happen, the logging statements stopped a race condition. After I removed them it came back...

Foosball specifically refers to the tabletop game in America.

to: Dr. Jækel Hydensen and Family would be better in English.

We sometimes send things to "The Hydensen Family" but that does seem to assume that the heads of the family have the same last name.

I can go directly to replies to my comments now!

Or privatize it using a friend's company.

Why do you need to drive to a store that close?

One of the founders of pebble is supposedly making one, the target price is $800 though which is too much for me.

You might need to calibrate the compass in your phone

If only google would stop blocking display out on pixels.

Will there be any battery improvements? My Pixel 6 could use some (I miss the battery life of my 5a, RIP).

I was put on the 24th floor of an office building with a desk facing the window while the company I worked for renovated our 10th floor office. It was really cool, there was a small hawk that liked to hang out on the window ledge and I had a nice view. When the renovation was done I was moved back to a cubicle with only florescence lights.

The grapheneos camera shows you the link when you scan a qr code and then its up to you to decide to go to the site or not. It makes scanning qr codes safer then apps that automatically open scanned links.

Southeast Europe probably had lions at one time (source). I'm not sure what's up with the north though.

I used to think I wasn't a bot but then I failed a bunch of captchas and now I'm not so sure.

I do the basic maintenance stuff myself and then pay a shop to tune up the bike each spring. When you use a bike to commute suddenly $150 a year doesn't seem like much to spend on it. That's less than one month of parking at my last job.

Did they not know that word can generate very convoluted HTML for them?

When I dropped my pixel 5a the screen looked like a TV in a horror film. Were they lying for warranty purposes? Otherwise I can't see a reason not to tell a repair shop what actually happened.

Someone needs to convince US Banks of this

Are there any actual benefits to titanium in a phone?

Calculator: I'm using the one that came with grapheneos, which I think is the AOSP calculator. It meets all of my simple calculator needs

Camera: GrapheneOS camera for qr codes and videos, because the modded gcam app (not FOSS) I use doesn't support either. I like that it shows you the qr link after you scan it instead of instantly opening it. It doesn't connect to WiFi if you scan one though it will show you the name and password.

Calendar: Fossify Calendar. It's a fork of simple calendar. It has my favorite calendar interface and works with Davx5 to sync with CalDAV servers.

I had an Eee PC. It was very slow and the poor resolution of the screen made it hard to use.

Istanbul requires a Turkish phone number or for you to scan your passport at a console.

That's like leaving the key in the door.

My favorite phone ever was the Moto X. The curved leather back was so comfortable. Do moto phones still do the twist gesture to open the camera?

I'm curious what apps require gyroscope access to work

I like the title only because I got a degree in computer engineering and passed the fundamentals of electrical engineering exam. I definitely don't do any engineering but it makes me feel like my degree wasn't a waste.

Edit: also that was an 8 hour test that I really took for no reason.

I would add to this: if there's a food you don't like after trying it, still try it again if you end up somewhere famous for it.

Your government doesn't just hit you with a wrench?

I don't know if it's loyalty but I get all happy when I see a comment or post by someone on my instance on a community outside my instance.

They had one of them in my neighborhood and it only stocked the most popular books (on amazon) which you already get delivered to you in an hour or two. It seemed pretty pointless.

I'm picturing chocolate covered potato chips
