If i were a nuclear engineer, everyone around me wouldn’t hear the end of it

Listen up… cut up your oranges into slices. It’s so much more fun to eat.
Yes, i know they grow pre-sliced. Forget that and give it a go.

Yeah let’s see, if the handle would have to be a different shape, they may need a different cutout for the door, different handle moulds, different mechanical parts, updated electronics… does anyone have a fucking clue how difficult it is to program one of those robotic arms? How expensive new moulds are? Any other potential knock-on effects this may have on the internal design?

People with the mentality of ‘it’s just a small plug at the bottom of the pool, how bad could it possibly be if we removed it’

My friend works with lab grown crystals and there re ones like lutetium aluminium garnet doped with cerium (LuAG:Ce) and similar which look awesome

Metal doesn’t generaly cause issues in the microwave unless there are sharp corners.
The whole inside of the microwave is metal (*you will notice curves and round corners everywhere, as well as surfaces made to specific angles).
It does reflect the waves, however, which can mess with the heating distribution.

Not accidentally holding a strangers hand. This is the worst one by far.

Same boat, Nym’s long term costs seem to scale much better, but I’d be reluctant to leave Mullvad

Something that looks and smells like a microwaved fish. Wouldn’t recommend. Salmon fried crispy is delicious.

Eye strain, screen size, battery life.

You’re absolutely right!

If it were offline machines, then they wouldn’t be on these statistics

Holy crap, just shoot me out a cannon, I’ll get there sooner or die, either is preferable

God I hope we’re in the matrix. I refuse to accept this is the reality now.

Ah yes, I remember my eyes glazing over as things got too complicated to fit through my thick skull

There is nothing in windows that’s a small tweak.
Changing anything has implications to a banking business Joe somewhere, who’s program depends on the original feature working as it does, or one of the 16 layers of code is simply tangled in a way such change would require cascade of rewrites.

I’ve read articles about various developments: working with regex registry*, or just adding a control panel option, and it’s an absolute nightmare.

I’ve had to start calling it AI because most people don’t know what LLMs are, and noone cares to go through the explanation, including myself.
I’m afraid that, as these things go, AI has gained a new meaning by popular use, rather than the original meaning of the acronym.
No point fighting it anymore.

Maybe we just need to adjust and start saying GAI (generative ai). It has a nice ring to it too.

Ireland declared subway breads are actually cakes due to the amount of sugar (some sugar in bread is ‘natural’ though)

It will not hinder it either. People will give up many things before their smartphones.

Work profiles exist for this reason. A completely separate environment that is isolated from the rest of the phone and can be turned on and off on demand.
Some manufacturers, like Samsung, make it difficult to access, but it’s there.

Considering it’s easier than ever to start up something like Shizuku, it could be used to grant f-droid access to install apps bypassing the requirement.
Obviously not a good solution by any means.
