Can you fix the catbox link?

> It is also possible to perform different computations on each calculator. This function comes in handy when the user wants to compare prices to determine which store product is cheaper by the gram, for example.

This adds another use-case outside of the M functions on a standard calc :)

but what if the _flying spaghetti monster cult_ were disproportionate users of bots for their viewpoints?

That’s effectively what Nick Hanauer has been saying more recently but I believe we are too far gone at this stage.

Is there a resource / someone’s Medium who will break down all of the legit manufacturers? I’m aware of some for RPi like Jeff Geerling has great microSD card reviews

Btw I went with Anker because it had the least reported issues from Amazon (after extensive filtering on my part)

The problem in America was RadioShack (before went out of business) as a brick and mortar store was also rebranding crappy wired products that would go out too.

I find it strange that a braided-cable charger from places like Target will go out before the Apple manufactured one

There are probably a few regional stores like Fry’s that have good electronics though, but their numbers are dwindling

I love how all the highest rated “Amazon’s Choice” items for a USB-C Hub all have Q&A feedback saying the HDMI port doesn’t work, but the reviews saying the same thing get scrubbed

How do we even find reliable dongles/hubs these days

I tentatively agree but feel employers will somehow turn this into hurting both domestic and H1B workers even more.

Ah H1B.

This (bad cache) used to happen with misconfigured shopify sites and had the same impact as described

I assume “felons” matches a dictionary search that “ajandneeksiciajenebdh” does not

I’ve been here for quite a while, and I’ve learned more from this community (which included developers across the planet) than I’ve learned from any other community online.

I’ve known PG’s biases and dogwhistles for a while ("What you can’t say" is a FOGHORN of a dogwhistle), but the political landscape has changed.

When PG is expressing open regret for opening this forum, despite dang doing most of the work, he’s signaling that the discussion of this forum isn’t going in the direction he wants. This has been the most civil forum on the surface web for a long time. And that says a lot.
