Yeah but there’s clunky in the way where its big but still a single unit as designed and intended, and clunky when its got some extra growth hanging off the back of it like some technological parasite.
Of course, my advice is only that, and you should choose the approach that works best for you. But advice is why you came here right :)
I have a portable monitor that I’m pretty pleased with.
It has a magnetic cover that goes over the screen to keep it safe, and that same cover folds and goes on the back to act as a stand when it’s in use. Power and video are via the same USB-C cable.
Nice and slim and stays in my bag most of the time but when I want a second screen I can whip it out in two secs.
A screen that attaches to the laptop sounds convenient initially, but I feel like in practice it would be a hindrance and make your laptop clunky and bulky.
It’s a “choccy (chocolate) coffee”
This may be a nonsense suggestion but is the game trying to activate the headphone mic?
If so this could be switching it to a different mode and cutting your headset audio quality in half.
EDIT: two other people suggested the same thing at the same time, never mind :)
I also got “Pattern on the beach towel is wavy lines rather than straight lines” but now I’m not certain it isn’t just image compression artifacts.
Slow motion bullet takes about 30 seconds to reach the target during which time we get the inner monologue of every character
“It’s going to miss! But wait, what’s happening? The bullet is bending in midair!!! Look at his incredible pose! Did be put spin on the bullet!? This must be Free To Play Ojiisan’s legendary hidden technique!”
Totally. This would be great.
If you want to watch an amazing show that actually exists, try Ping-pong the Animation. Art style takes a bit of getting used to but it’s just such an engrossing show.
Then I think I was wrong, and you are right.
As someone not from the US I knew of zelle but never used it, and believed it was a direct competitor to Venmo or PayPal.
The reason I thought it was its own thing was because it has its own app, and a catchy silicon-valley-startup type name, and a brand logo, and all of that.
Contrast that to the UK where the ability to send free person-to-person payments has been integrated directly into the banking system for decades, and does not have it’s own brand, or app or anything.
That’s just a different third party, though.
Thanks for the context. Here in the UK I never experienced a website that didn’t take payment via credit card directly as a first option - that’s always been there default, with some sites offering PayPal as a second or third way to pay.
And about punching the numbers manually then well, sometimes a bit of Mechanical Turk works just fine lol! :)
I don’t understand the PayPal one either.
Who is the ‘first party’ in this case? eBay, or like, the banking system as a whole?
If it’s the whole banking system then I’m not sure how that’s solved, because as I understand in the US it’s still not easy to send money to another private individual via the banking system. And there are Venmo and cashapp and such now but they are just other third parties.
Meanwhile in the UK here it has been possible for decades to send money between bank accounts directly, and free. I use PayPal though, because my use case for it isn’t sending money to individuals, it’s being able to buy things online without creating an account and without giving my card details.
Maybe people are thinking in phone terms, and the first party is “Apple” or “Google” and the solution is Apple Pay or Google Wallet?
I heard about the diaper thing, it’s garbage. Definitely illustrates the point though; Amazon don’t care at all because whether they act or don’t makes no difference to their bottom line.
Someone comes to Amazon looking for a reusable diaper, they will search and usually buy whatever is near the top of the first page, because that’s just what people do. Amazon make a sale and are happy, they don’t care who the vendor is.
And oh - Amazon retail has more turnover than AWS but AWS makes more profit.
The number one thing I noticed after installing Linux on my old macbook was that the battery life was immediately halved.
I totally expected that to happen, though, because my previous experience had always been that power management on Linux was kinda terrible.
Time to try this out and see!
“I think the existing, altruistic, free version of Reddit will continue to exist and grow and thrive just the way it has,” Huffman said.
There’s nothing ‘altruistic’ about reddit
Sadly not even new, I’ve noticed it going on for at least the last five years, if not more. Amazon could easily detect and stop this but they don’t because (surprise surprise!) better reviews = more sales, even if it is for the wrong product
It’s such a painful thing, and the scary truth is that it can happen to everyone.
I’m sure we’ve all experienced instances of this, in some smaller and insignificant way.
You take a packed lunch to work. Every day for five years you’ve taken a lunch to work, without fail. Its part of your routine, you don’t even have to think about it. Get your wallet, get your keys, lunch out the fridge and into your bag, out the door.
Then one day you open your bag at lunch-time, and it’s not there. Why isn’t it there, you think? You remember putting it there like always, but then the memories of different days are all the same as each other, and it just blurs into one.
And then you remember. Just as you picked up your wallet and keys, your phone rang. And it’s your Dad, who says he just had someone call to say he needs to transfer money to keep it safe, and you’re telling him no no no Dad it’s just a scam, don’t transfer anything! And you have to go or you’ll miss the bus, and did I get my lunch, yes yes I put it in my bag like always.
But you didn’t put it in your bag. Its still sitting in the fridge at home.
And obviously a lunch is not a baby. But the principle is the same. That scary realisation that your own brain didn’t merely forget, but actually lied to you about what really happened that morning is the same.
And it could have been a baby instead.
Scary.
The findings here seem like a real stretch.
Saying that people can “Accurately” identify names for adults but not children feels tenuous when the correct answer was given basically slightly less than 25% for children and slightly more than 25% for adults, for four answers. That’s barely better than random chance.
If there is a correlation between name and appearance, then as other people have said, this is likely due to factors of age, and popularity of different names at different times. The child group used children only from a narrow range of 9-12 whereas the adult group was broader, so it is would be easier to see the influence of age this in the adult group.
I assumed those conducting the study would be very familiar with that bias and try to eliminate it by only using names that were equally popular at the same time as the person’s actual age for each question, but I couldn’t find that information.
If we assume they DID try to eliminate generational popularity as a factor, there are still more plausible explanations IMO.
For example, different names are going to be popular among different socioeconomic backgrounds - wealth, education, political leaning, geographic location of the parents will all affect name choice!
So if there is any correlation at all, my personal conclusion would not be that the name determines who people grow up to be, but that someone’s physical appearance is influenced by their socioeconomic background, and that name also correlates with that background.
So name is simply a predictor for what background someone grew up with, nothing more!
