I see. I was referring to the main protagonist, not the whole cast. But still I didn't know about the whole study, thank you.
I say we quote straight from Associated Press and the likes. Skip the blogspam.
You forgot the best part.
Eh?
It's like the movie industry, ethnic minorities mean less revenue. At least the black people in the US are getting some spotlight that isn't the stereotypical ethnic/fetish treatment after a long time of struggle.
I could be far more tolerant of this if they had at least a FAQ section somewhere. Most times they don't even pin the important or repeated messages.
Us the 90s kids grew up with the idea of 'internet as a library', which means websites are treated as books or magazines inside the shelves, that serve as repositories. We still have to read, but we were also used to it.
Perhaps it's a generational shift, but nowadays 'internet as an assistant' approach is gaining over, which means the search bar (whichever it happens to be from) is treated as a search engine, and user directly inputs a semantic question expecting it to be answered. Users don't expect to read, and aren't expected to. Advertisement space is far more important.
When you think of that way, the idea of having a chatroom instead of proper support forum start making sense, even if I dread this idea and prefer proper text.
Being too confident or lazy gets them caught. Good for us.
I was exactly going to mention that. Most compatible devices on the list are either out of stock or too expensive from my location. Now, the list also mentions a chinese brand/manufacturer(?) called 'XWatch' that looks interesting, but the name's too generic to get anything specific in aliexpress.
Yes, I tried max intensity keeping it inside my pants. It was still too weak. What I'm doing now is to put my phone on desk next to the keyboard so I can awkwardly pickup the phone whenever it moves. Haven't tried the vibration patterns though. I should do that tomorrow.
Here's the thing, I want to be able to know whenever my phone has an incoming call. I work in a small office with coworkers on constant meeting, so that means no loud phone alarms. I tried vibration mode, but it's almost imperceptible inside my pockets that I have missed many important calls. I can excuse myself once I know there is a call incoming.
I don't want smartwatches (they require a specific app from a specific developer to sync) as I don't require all the functions or bother charging yet another device. Same goes for bluetooth headsets or earbuds - don't want to wear them all day just for a call that comes once in a while.
What I ideally want is a low power device that syncs with the phone, and vibrates to let me know whenever there is an incoming call (or any event I think it is important). Nothing else. No fancy touchscreen or nada. If it's a dumb device like the old nokias or casio watches, even better.
Is there a name for this? Am I overthinking this instead of just buying a cheapo smartband from aliexpress?
PS: Sorry if it's inappropriate, couldn't find a gadget related community to post that wasn't company-specific.
I've seen mastodon instances sharing a common blocklist of bad behaving instances. Is this list exclusive to beehaw only, or part of a similar process?
At this point is a conversation partner that's available 24/7.
Also a potential for spam, unfortunately. Some of the newer TLDs are blocked by a lot of sysadmins due to spam and fraud.
I used to browse reddit through alternate frontends on desktop and 3rd party apps on mobile precisely because of that. I never liked the new flashy design.
Interesting, will definitely check out. Is fitness tracking done independently of smartphone apps?
I am using a fork of automatic1111 that works on windows. Tested using an RX 6600 for reference.
Soon SD will run on smartphones just like a live camera filter would.
The analogy is just an attempt at explaining, no need to argue about them. The main point is about giving preference to the original copy, not the lossy and inefficient copy. No matter how image to text conversion tools get better there always be a gap.
