No, but investors tend to treat companies as either growing or dying. If you have a boring and reliable product you’re going to saturate the market at some point, which means that revenue will fall. Arguably there’s still a lot of value in sticking around selling replacements as people break things, but this is nowhere near as lucrative as the growth phase.

Same, but I do have some level of worry regarding portability. My solution isn’t local or self hosted, as I was looking for easy and works across Linux/Windows/Mac/Android/iOS. I do not look forward to needing to change to a new password manager in the future, but given the way everything seems to be going it seems likely that I’ll have to at some point.

Spot on answer.

While I totally agree with you, it really does seem like we’re moving back towards the era of centralized committing, at least for mainstream computing. More and more “desktop” applications are really electron apps with a good chunk of the compute happening server side. That’s before you start to consider the many browser based word processing products, etc.

It depends who you’re trying to protect. Joe consumer doesn’t know what OpenWRT is.

“His” DLC for borderlands 3 was one of the high points of that game. I’m currently replaying 1 and while it’s fun 2 is just so much more engaging with Jack.

Assembly is relatively straightforward, but sourcing all the components locally is likely getting harder and harder. Granted, for DoD contract reasons there’s likely a cottage industry that relies on government rules to keep things onshore. That’s part of the reason why we still have some made in the USA clothing.

This is worth a listen or a watch if you’re interested.

Not sure how up to date this is, but synthetic fibers are the #1 source of micro plastics, followed by car tires and city dust. Car tires are absolutely a contributor and we should cut our reliance on personal transportation for more reasons than just micro plastics. In addition, we need to move away from polyester, nylon and a slew of other materials.

Most household furnishings used to be made of natural fibers. These days carpets, couch covers and filling, curtains, clothing, etc are often derived from a petrochemical. I suspect oil companies will continue to pivot into these areas to continue as we very slowly ween ourselves of gasoline.

I still have a sweet spot for canned corn, especially creamed, as well as canned green beans.

Agree with the addition of a low and high setting. I don’t care what the target cabin temp is, if I just got into my car after braving some crazy wind chill I want to be air fried for a bit.

Used parts! Junkyards, eBay, whatever. Odds are you’ll be able to find a replacement unless the factory knob was super fragile or your vehicle is exceedingly rare.

If your vehicle is vaguely popular it’ll probably have a stl (think exported 3D shape) available. In that case I’ll print/mail you one assuming you’re in the US. If you’re not in the US hop over to [email protected] and I’m sure someone will help you out.

Speaking and talking are colloquially used to describe people communicating in sign language. “I speak ASL”, “I talk ASL”, etc.

Definitions of the words speak and talk cover non-verbal communication.

Speak: to express feelings by other than verbal means

Talk: to express or exchange ideas by means of spoken words or sign language

That said, I agree that OP was likely asking about spoken word.

Maintaining a changelog for very large app development organizations is also a pretty damn hard task, trying to coordinate whatever all teams are releasing in a particular build.

I feel this in my bones. Our biggest device contains hundreds of apps and firmware. We generally update the apps and firmware together. It’s nearly impossible to summarize the changes in a meaningful way. What issues were fixed? Likely a few hundred. What new features were added or improved? Another big list. Management thought AI would magically solve this problem, but it turns out that it has no idea which things are worth mentioning vs which should be glossed over.

It sucks both internally and externally.

This is the deepest I’ve ever seen Jerboa render comments.

Amusingly, your link does one of the few things that bother me about Jerboa: open in my default browser instead of the app.

I was able to find a post of this image daring back to 2023.

Doesn’t mean it’s not AI, just means it’s a lot less likely.

OnePlus still offers this one on some of their phones.
