China has a significant investment in solar and wind power - is that just to convince us it's a good idea to buy it?

I had an identical experience: in my area all of the comments were disparaging ethnic groups and having lived here my entire life the specific groups targeted were not even accurate.

To me it feels like a place to vent about an "other" you suspect may or may not be there.

Thanks - I actually used cactus and llama years ago when I got interested in playing diablo 2 again and it was really cool to try out the older versions of the game and to play around with the larger stash.

Curious - I remember thinking about this a few times after using it - I don't see the binaries in git anymore, was this done for performance reasons or did Blizzard reach out?

I would love to read about this :)

I agree that clicking on what appears to be a placeholder but instead acts as a label should at the very least focus the input box so you're prompted to type in it. However the UI overall is pretty simple and clean.

> Also a good reminder that it's a very good idea to have the screen lock after a set time — even if it's long.

It's wild to me especially with how important the device itself and email the device has access to can be that someone in 2024 did not have a screen lock enabled.

Yeah if you give it the dimensions of a standard gaylord (48x40) it tries to stack the boxes in a really strange way with smaller boxes occupying the space below larger boxes and causing some boxes to float. I wonder if additional metadata is needed such as (1) box weight (2) resistance to being crushed and (3) priority (not sure if this is relevant when shipping but it will decide which boxes don't "fit" on its own).

> and have basic telephone connectivity issues

This turned me off to Pixel phones indefinitely. I got the Pixel 6 Pro and it could not figure out what it should be connected to: WiFi, 5G, or 4G and of course rather than just choosing one it decided to not have any connection whatsoever unless I moved a few hundred feet to a different location or rebooted the phone. There was lots of discussion around this and youtubers even covered it but rather than fix the issue Google focused on releasing the next phone.

Good to hear. I was in the ER in March 2020 initially because I thought I was having a heart attack but ultimately with what I assume was COVID. It's been a journey but I am doing much better now too. For about 2 years I had bad palpitations too but they've mostly gone away and the fatigue is beginning to subside.

One thing I noticed which might have been completely anecdotal but I felt like my first vaccine jumpstarted my recovery. If you don't mind me asking: if you got the vaccine did you notice the same?

Good point, I am not sure they can compete with the smaller arm development boards in that regard!

I agree with you about dev boards but I think their post was focused on things like used NUCs or other small x86 machines that are only marginally larger than a Pi in an enclosure and include literally everything you'd want (enclosure, pwa fan, SATA SSD, NVMe, wifi, etc.) and the software support is there (linux / windows).

fwiw revving the engine while stationary wouldn't really put much (if any) load on the engine

You'de be really surprised how irrelevant a major and degree can be - for example I used to work with an engineer who carries a highly technical PhD and required extensive assistance with even the simplest tasks (often hour+ just to understand the ask and then more time on engineering a solution) - and I also had an art major intern who really just wanted to be a dropshipper who devoured any work I gave them and delivered amazing stuff.
