If this is something you do often, you might consider Firefox with the multi-account containers extension: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/containers

It allows unique/isolated profiles on a per-tab basis.

I’ve found it great for work, for the many things that require me to be logged into both the [email protected] and [email protected] accounts simultanously, to manage MS 365 things. But restricting social media to an isolated profile, multiple Google/Microsoft/whatever accounts, these are all possible.

Make Asbestos Great Again?

Yeah… about that. It would appear the company was founded after the book was published, which makes it so, so much worse.

I clicked on this, and it’s immediately asking for my email. No big surprises there.

This however is the copy:

EXCLUSIVE
Unlock your surprise
Sign up to receive your surprise and start sleeping better today

With the big glowing confirm button labelled “Get my surprise” and the dark pattern barely visible skip link “I don’t want a surprise”.

I was aware of the existence of these things but had never paid them the slightest mind, this is just… ick.

I have a plastic desk toy of this dumpster.

Truly an object worthy to represent these troubled times.

In my extended circle of acquaintences and colleagues I know around eight people with folding phones. I have seen ONE of them ever use it open - even in situations where you’d think it’d be great, like sitting at the tables in the office kitchen at lunchtime browsing, almost never used unfolded.

It seems like it should be a great idea, but for the majority of people the majority of the time, it appears to be an otherwise normal phone that’s just twice as thick as it needed to be. One of the owners of these devices - who had it bought for them rather than choosing it themself - made that exact complaint to me, in fact.

That said, don’t let this put you off. If it’s a thing you think you would like, the technology has definitely progressed to the point where the more glaring issues (of reliability, mostly) have been worked out. But definitely spend some time playing with one in a store before committing if you can.

In the woods, or???

As it’s most often seen on news sites - where scrolling too far gives you another article - a handful of reasons.

One: there are frequently still links (think “about us” / “contact us” kind of pages) in the footer that you might need to access, which you can invariably now never reach, because as soon as they’re in view they’re replaced by more content.

Two: as the parent poster so accurately put it, “fucking with the browser history”. It becomes entirely indeterminate whether the back button now returns to the previous site, or just goes back by one piece of content.

Three: the new content is almost certainly unrelated to the page I started on, and not of any interest to me.

It’s distressing just how freaking similar the sales pitch is too.

What I’m loathed to even call the “real product”: It’s time to stop flushing away valuable data.

The fake one: If I had information that could save your life or the life of your family members, would you flush that?

Just… wow

Nearly 15 years, and still no progress: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsIz8xn3srI

This is a picture from the quake in 2012 that hit southern New Zealand

From seeing images like this, I expected a dust cloud too

OP appears to be in the UK, so potentially (no pun intended) one of 400kV, 275kV, or 132kV.

But you hate degens from up country too, huh?

Yeah.

And where exactly is up-country in space?

Sadly the one harness my boy hasn’t managed (or indeed, even tried) to escape from was from Amazon.

I’ll leave the link anyway, in the hope you can find something similar: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C93LKV5F - sadly it seems to be from one of those fly-by-night brands so I don’t really like your chances.

You definitely want something a bit thicker / padded though, anything that’s just straight straps seems to get wiggled out of. I can see how the dog harness you’ve got (likely designed with a chihuahua in mind, where neck straps have to be avoided) is a bit too much fabric for a cat’s comfort though.

This said, the biggest expression of displeasure I got to the harness was the cats flopping over and pretending their back legs didn’t work.

Once outside mine seems to very much be a “sniffing the flowers” type of cat, just wanders around near the house taking in the new sights and smells, chewing on a bit of grass, etc. Being an indoor cat, even walking on grass seems to be an experience he doesn’t 100% vibe with. At least I’ve not had to retrieve him out of a tree, I guess?

I tried carrying him 20 paces further from the house and he just made his way straight back to safety. Not with the biggest sense of urgency ever seen, but clearly headed back toward the familiar: https://imgur.com/a/PawWQLT

Best of luck in your search.

There’s this range of Philips signage displays in up to 32" (~$1800 USD): https://www.ppds.com/display-solutions/digital-signage/philips-tableaux

They even run Android, so should be able to install the Home Assistant app natively. Being intended as a signage solution, there’s also PoE (although it is 45W 802.3bt class5), and even room for four 18650 batteries.

Notably though, they use the newer E-Ink “Spectra” (16 bit, 65,536 colour) panel which offers its full 2560x1600 resolution in both greyscale and colour, not the “Kaleido” one (12 bit, 4096 colour) of this Boox monitor that only has half of its 3200x1800 resolution in colour (Boox recommend using 1400x1050).

I don’t know which of the two panels offers better refresh rates, however.

I feel like “whatevs” is the default position of the capybara under the vast majority of circumstances, but your point still stands.

Except sometimes it pays off massively.

I had accidentally left the voice on for some reason, back when Google Maps’ navigation was fairly new here in New Zealand. Back then it wasn’t the easiest thing to turn off without pulling over and stabbing a bunch of buttons, so I left it.

Approaching a large intersection, it seemed it was taking the words on the street signs somewhat literally, as it told me

Signs for State Highway one-half

Indeed, the sign did appear to read “SH1/2”.

They’ve missed a couple of times over the years.

From LTO 1 to 9, the capacities (TB) were 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.8, 1.5, 2.5, 6, 12, 18. LTO 6 also rather let the side down there.

Apparently though LTO 10 is going to get things back on track? I’ve seen claims it will achieve 36TB, but I’ll believe it when I see it.

The real problem is the environmental requirements for LTO 9 and newer have become too strict. The longevity is still (supposedly) fine, but the tapes are much more sensitive to temperature and humidity fluctuations when in use.

Brand new tapes have to be brought into the environment where they’ll be written for 36-48 hours to acclimatise before being used, and then have a 60-90 minute “calibration” in the drive before they can be written to.

Honestly, it could put the use of the newer types of tapes entirely out of the reach of many.

I can’t confirm or deny Ireland as the other poster says, but Iceland is a LHD country so the photo would have to be flipped if it was.

The ones in Akureyri are also more much more distinctively hearts, I would have said: https://i.imgur.com/ZHHvb3b.jpeg

The only one I got close on was I never had a chequebook of my own, but did on a couple of occasions use bank cheques for mail-ordered things.

Presuming we’re counting that, big fat goose egg.
