Im not totally sure either. I think the message is that a lot of countries / groups wanted something to be done about Iran but while they were discussing it Trump just pulled a leroy jenkins on that shit and now they’re mad about it.

Well I’m gonna be that guy… It’s overdue.

Also sometimes I eat cereal after dinner and tell myself its better than grabbing sugary stuff for dessert.

I lucked out and my banking app is fine too. Weirdly its the wifi garage door opener which came with my house that refuses to work. I took it offline and am back to a remote now. I may replace it someday when I finally get home assistant going.

I am not an expert.

Many many apps rely on google play services to function, basically for most of the data fetching, push notifications, authentications, etc. Disabling it will break those apps as a result. Since your data is fed through those services you cannot maintain privacy from google without doing so.

So yes, you should disable google play for privacy, but you will need to find replacement apps in many cases.

Graphene does a thing where it “sandboxes” google play services, preventing it from grabbing unnecessary data like your real time location telemetry. I think this lets you use those apps that need it, but they will still get some of your data where thats being used. Banking apps are notorious for needing it for authentication, but you can easily use a different map app like magic earth to avoid google services for other needs.

I’m still exploring this and learning so those are just examples I know of. Not sure how much else this will break if you aren’t using graphene to manage it.

I am wary of ever recommending to completely block or avoid updates. Generally this means opening yourself up to security concerns.

Dude what shitty weed are you smoking that you gotta cut it? With nip?! And lavender?!?! Fuckin break out the potpourri next we just gonna smoke whatever lights on fire holy shit

No, but they are a popular mainstream company for those who are less tech savvy. The more of these large companies that do this the more linux gamong will grow, developers will see a need to pay attention to making games work natively on linux. You can hate HP and still see this as a good thing.

Great idea. I will never buy from amazon so filtering that out automatically would be fantastic when looking for products

Somehow this is less surprising than him being married in the first place.

Zuck is married?!

Absolutely. Always be open to changing jobs if you need to, and always keep that option as a back up plan even if things are going well. Know that if you find a new job it may fix some things while introducing new problems, there is always some risk to doing so. If you aren’t in a rush to get out try to line something up that makes the change worthwhile - get a promotion out of it, or at least some pay raise or other benefit. Often times annual raises suck enough that many people need to get a new job to find a decent pay bump anyway, so it’s good to be looking for that. If you haven’t interviewed in awhile line a few up as practice too, so when you find something you’re more serious about it will go smoothly.

So my general understanding is that you can use a magnet to create an electrical current. Its like it pushes the electrons, like a paddle pushing water. So they coil a bunch of wire around a magnet and rotate the magnet, which moves the electrons in the wire and that gets you electrical power. But you need something to push that magnet around, so you attach that to a big ass fan and use steam to push the fan. That’s your turbine. Nuclear power is just using a hot rock to make the steam. Hydroelectric power uses a river to push the turbine. Wind power is doing the same thing, just uhhh, with wind.

To shreds you say?

I bought a plasma in 2009 that would show static if I turned it to cable channels without cable plugged in. Plasmas were susceptible to burn in and since I would game a lot I could see health bars etc start to burn in after a while. Whenever that would happen I would turn it to the static screen - making each pixel flip from one end of the spectrum to the other rapidly like that would actually help remove the burn in.

I always thought youse guys was a new york city thing.

You can get headaches, anxiety, and a variety of other undesirable effects. Some of us would also lose our jobs if we consumed this so whoever did this is a dickwad.

Control also did a fantastic job. At some point the reflections on the glass are almost too good. There is a puzzle where you need to look through some windows to solve it. I couldn’t see what the hell was going on because of the reflections and had to turn RTX off. It was otherwise great and I think the difference is dramatic.
