I would love to teach kids. I take any opportunity I can to mentor people at work, but in a school setting would be super cool. The pay cut relative to what I make now just isn’t worth it. Maybe in another decade when we have enough set aside…
PRC
How on Earth do you have a mix of Communism and Capitalism
Arguably, the PRC is juggling both. I don’t claim to be an expert, but there are certain capitalist undercurrents going on in the private sector along with some level of CCP tension.
Jerboa user checking in. My biggest gripes with it are:
Everything else is pretty solid though. The only nice to have feature would be saving draft replies locally automatically. Reddit is fun did that and spoiled me. Nothing is worse than starting a long reply, life getting in the way, coming back to Lemmy, and being greeted b my refreshed feed.
Your other post on this same topic, with a cross post to this one, renders this way when I clicked the cross post link:
That was absolutely the case until very recently. Qualcomm bought Nuvia, a start-up that was stacked with former Apple engineers, a few years ago. These processors are just now coming to market. Laptops with these processors are benchmarking around MacBook levels (slightly behind single core, slightly ahead in multi core).
It’s very hard to argue against Apple hardware and battery life. Maybe with windows moving slowly toward ARM they’ll catch up some. It’s going to be very tough though - Apple has full control over their hardware, which meat they can optimize their OS for it.
I really hope the snapdragon x laptops gain some traction. I recently went laptop shopping and what I wanted (good to great display, stays cold, good battery life) line up really well with a MacBook/MB air. I just couldn’t stomach the stupid mark-ups for memory and storage. I wound up with a Lenovo 7x slim. Upgrading to 32 GB memory and 1 TB storage was around $115. The non-emulated performance on windows is solid. Emulated is generally ok for my usage. I’m probably going to try Linux on it when I have a light week, but I’m somewhat wary of the impact that will have on battery life.
My electric chainsaws and weed whacker always start. Eventually our lawn tractor will kick the bucket and I’ll either convert it to electric or buy one.
Depending where you live, it can be really hard to find ethonal free gas. As an added bonus, carburators hate having ethonal sit in them. They’ll develop a varnish. Carbs also don’t like sitting partially dry and getting all the fuel out of them is a massive pain. Yay lawn equipment.
Both. Ethonal is still corrosive and the majority of fuel systems these days are compatible with E15. That said, check your owners manual.
Thanks for the follow up!
Red dead redemption 2 didn’t stop at being pretty. If it did I don’t think we would all talk about it so fondly. Totally agree that it’s a great looking game though.
Thanks for following up! I played the OG halflife when it came out, so I will be sure to check this out.
Let us know what you think of it! It certainly looks like it could be entertaining.
That’s disappointing. We’ve had our MF229dw since 2016 and it’s pulled zero schannigans.
Canon black and white laser. Our original toner lasted for years and years, well above it’s rated number of pages. Not that we print a ton, but it was still impressive. The driver is a little flakey at times, but overall it’s been a reliable wifi printer.
A lot of these system apps, while updated via the play store, won’t show up if you search the play store for them. They also won’t have reviews. An easy example, on my phone at least, is something called “Android System Intelligence”.
It’s probably significantly more than 10-25 million a year in additional wages given the quality of employees, but it’s still likely pocket change next to things like the marketing budget. I work in a more capital intensive industry (tooling, hard parts, etc), but we still spend a few billion on engineering. Know what else we spend a few billion on? Marketing, amoung many other things. Job cuts always make me chuckle because they’re a, “we’re doing something” but we spend orders of magnitude more on material, facilities, etc.
We have a similar vintage 55" Toshiba TV. It would be nice to upgrade, but it’s hard to argue with something that’s worked so reliably. It’s also nice to have a decidedly dumb TV…
Different people can have different cycle lengths, durations, and intensity/pain/flow during ones period.
All those things can also vary for the same person month to month and it can get even more variable as you move between life events (having kids, getting older).
Turning leftovers into fried rice generally results in one of my favorite foods. That’s not to say I don’t like more upscale options too, but man.
