And neither would Proton…

It’s Baileys - I used to drink it in my coffee in the morning in regular days. There’s almost no alcohol to it.

The problem is that SMS isn’t reliable.

It has no error detection or correction. It’s best-effort. There’s not even validation between handset and tower. The phone encapsulates the message in the frames and sends them, assuming they arrive at the tower.

It’s like shouting into a room and assuming the person got your message.

If connectivity is spotty, then SMS is spotty - and you have no idea if the other person didn’t receive your message.

Interesting, I’ll have to delve into this some more, but being cocoa is the real concern then yea, most “chocolate” (that is treats people buy) is fairly low in cocoa, being milk chocolate.

When it has a lot of cacao, it’ll be right on the label: 40%, 60%, etc.

It’s good general advice, but I’ve seen many dogs eat chocolate and be fine (worked with a vet for a while, and trained dogs). So there’s a lot more at play than just dog+chocolate.

Time to go read about cacao. Thanks!

They do?

Seems an odd take considering the videogame market is so massive.

Wonder who’s buying all those games?

Yep, an engineer in the late 80’s said “hey, look at all this empty space in the management frames”… Frames that are continually sent when there’s a connection, because it’s a frame-based system. The space in the frames just happened to be… 144 characters worth.

Of course today SMS has to be simulated on 5G because it doesn’t work like the CDMA based stuff (just like GSM had to do).

God I hate SMS. It’s old, it’s bad, it’s unreliable (both in practice and technically).

And built into the heaters already.

Clearly people here have never tried to maintain these things - the safety in them today is annoyingly extensive. They fail for the most trivial things (which really is for the best, just a nuisance from a maintenance perspective).

You mean like all of the millions of them in every house, building, business around the world?

If it’s 240, it’s installed. It’ll require a proper 240 circuit for its type, not something the average homeowner can do, so an electrician will be necessary.

Technically, pretty much every heater is “remote” (except portables). Or do you crawl into your attic or crawl space whenever you want to adjust the temp?

Do you turn off your heat when you leave the house? Water heater?

Business have used heat and cooling on timer and remote systems for 75+ years, and here you come fear-mongering some nonsense about “remote heaters”.

Moreover, an electric hearer is about as safe as you can get - nothing being oxidized, the heater element is well shielded, with a compressor type fan pushing air through it.

If the fan stops, the unit stops. If the heater stops, the fan stops, it’s all tied together with controls that have been around since the 50’s (and mostly now electronic). Even controls from back then are crazy robust and simple.

A gas heater won’t even attempt to fire if it doesn’t detective negative pressure in the chamber, which would mean the exhaust blower isn’t running. And we’re not talking gas here, so the controllers even simpler.

While my little truck is a disgusting mess all the time. Shit in the bed, etc.

It’s a truck. It gets the cheap $1 wand wash every 3 months.

I’d you’re in a hurry measuring BP, it’s not going to be a good measure. Just a thought

Technically no, not instant, but very close if you setup a sync job to be more sensitive.

The desktop client (Linux/Windows) has a lot more flexibility with scanning. Not much you can set in the Android client, even with ST-Fork.

For anything I absolutely need to be on my phone, I permit it to sync over cell, like a password DB. Plus that’s tiny. Like any photos I take sync instantly - it’s worth the data cost from a backup perspective. But local backups by Neodroid only sync on WiFi and when charging.

Fortunately ST-Fork lets you set this in the individual folders.

Mouse over for anything needs to die.

This is nothing new.

Work emails need to be short and to the point. I know, it sucks when you have something complex, but people prefer to talk. So email needs to be more of a record of high points of conversation, or a quick verification of something.

If you choose to read literate writing as passive aggressive, well then you can fuck right off.

And that would be my response to anyone behaving this way toward me. It’s wholly a you problem.

Good afternoon.

You first.

YOU made the initial claim about this “new” meaning, onus is therefore on you to substantiate it.

For my defense, I’ll start with Elements of Style, the OECD, and any other English dictionary or grammar book.

Because if you really want to play “who has the best evidence for their case”, you’re gonna lose to several hundred years, and millions billions of written documents.

Nice bigotry, only “minorities” door dash?

The racism is in your head

I used ES File Explorer for 10 years before finally giving up on an old, pre-enshittified version, and switching to Mix.

I don’t love it, but its the best out there today.

Edit: Some of the way it works is really powerful, like the bookmark system, tab management, copy process, etc. I just can’t get it to look the way I want, with slightly larger everything, and higher contrast text/icons (I admit I’m too lazy to make it happen, pretty sure I could just create a skin).
