I had one do that (well, even higher, 25, 30, 35, Other) for a retailer recently. Like, it took them under 10 seconds to ring me up and they should automatically get 25%? I chose zero.

They did say “creatively”.

It will be a buggy POS at launch, and cheating in the online mode will be rampant, but…

There are so many flaws with your take I don’t even know how to reply.

I will just say that:

1. $3,500 is not a price that only rich people can afford, at least in the US. Many middle class folks can afford it with ease.

2. It isn’t Apple’s fault that YouTube has ads. That is Google’s doing. Apple themselves are privacy focused and I never see targeted ads on any Apple app. The only places I even see ads are in the app store and in the TV app, and the TV ads are limited to promos of upcoming shows or movies.

People are constantly bashing Apple for their premium prices and walled garden while forgetting that nobody is targeting the folks who want a privacy oriented experience without ads blasting everywhere.

I switched to iOS because I got tired of Google watching my every move and I got tired of worrying if every app I download from google’s app store has malware or not.

Is it easy to get a copy of their dataset?

There are hosting providers that offer unmetered bandwidth.

Sure, setup complexity is higher, but it is definitely doable.

I have thought about such a project as I also have access to relatively inexpensive 20gbps fiber, but lack the funding currently to do it.

Maybe one day…

Wayland works with NVIDIA cards though.

Same and when I am hiking I also turn on “Do Not Disturb “ mode. It infuriates my spouse, but oh well. 🤷‍♂️

Get at least 8 hours sleep. Note that this means “sleep” and not “8 hours in bed” so if you read or do other activities in bed, add extra time for that stuff. I usually give extra time for my brain to stop running a mile a minute

Go to bed at the same time every night. Wake up at the same time every morning. Avoid caffeine. Caffeine can cause sleep disruptions you may not notice, even if consumed early in the day.

Get tested for sleep apnea.

this.

Does anyone know if KDE Neon testing is updated with this?

🤣

My guy, I grew up on a chicken farm. This does not scare me.

No we didn’t. I happily left reddit the day Apollo stopped. They also lost my premium subscription.

I also stopped Twitter when musk took over. I use Bluesky or Mastodon and find both platforms to be superior.

Sure, some folks may have, but many of us have not. Does that matter to Reddit? probably not. Do I care? not really.

Modern Reddit is unusable, and old reddit isn’t mobile friendly.

This. Lots of health plans don’t even have copays anymore thanks to COVID.

For me, things were pretty easy/quick to set up, and the benefit? Lower electric bills. More convenience.

They bought a bunch of assets that didn’t work well together, made a poor attempt to make them work together, and released a buggy half-finished game…oh and the hame was completely different from what they said they were working on.

I did like the gameplay loop, however.

From what I have been reading: Evidence suggests Russia was lying. Examinations of the crash site revealed no signs that a large number of people on board like Russia claims.

I am willing to bet it had missiles and the entire story was made up by Russia to:

• Stop Ukraine from shooting down planes
• Make Ukraine look bad.

It is funny to see the calls like this and also the calls for civil war. The number of texans capable of shooting down an F35 with the puny small arms they bought is zero. Shoot, replace F35 with any plane built in the past 50 years.

That is why there will never be a civil war.

Before you start mumbling something about republicans flying F35s, keep in mind you actually have to have an ounce of intelligence to fly one. If they had any intelligence they would not be republican.
