I noticed that when I was there. I was pleasantly surprised to see as many BYD as I did.

That infact made me consider BYD even more seriously. Being able to see the car in person is far more impressive the a YouTube video.

These are impossible to search for.

Do you have a link for unixbeard?

Me too!! It's a huge pet peeve. And it's so hard to get people to see how it's linguistically AND mathematically WRONG.

Blog is getting too much spam, so they are restricting posts/comments from Gmail.com addresses.

That's ok, I understand the desire. I also recognize that it's a lazy "fix". I have my own domain and prefer that so I can track compromised sites.

In quasi-related conversation though, in the last year I have encountered 2 "necessary" websites (insurance, and medical form) that would only accept: Gmail, yahoo, outlook, etc addresses!

It's frustrating.

And most importantly they teach their offspring about the dangers!

No it is not a mistake. It is not fashionable in digital media thanks I believe to twitters character limits.

Look at any printed media from the last 100 years. Printing presses, books, magazines, newspaper.

A double space offers a visual clue where a 'mental breath' takes place.

Given the context, your domain name is 'chefs kiss', perfect.

I am completely curious what your legal defense would be though.

"Come do things with AI that are probably illegal!"

What?! We had no idea people would do things that are illegal!

Quality of code output has dropped dramatically since 4.5 IIHO. Time to complete has gotten worse too.

Man, besides being slow; I really miss those days.

I could say I was "into computers" and it meant something. Eternal September ruined it.

Dell chargers only work (reliably, and at capacity) with Dell devices. Also Dell devices will (sometimes) refuse to work with 3rd party chargers.

Get a charger that displays the voltage & current being output on a port and you will quickly see what devices adhere to standards.

The USC-C port doesn't guarantee compatibility. Manufacturers are being evil and pushing proprietary protocols over open standards.

Lol, that's what I thought this was about too.

Why don't these people/companies think about how hard it will be to search for their $thing !?

It shows paintings based on your location and the 'time of day', or something.

From the `About`:

>Plein Air — A painting for right now, wherever you are

>Plein air — French for in the open air — was the discipline of painting outdoors, in front of the weather, the way Constable studied clouds in Suffolk meadows and Monet painted the same haystacks at every hour of every season. The painters took the canvas outside because the light couldn't be remembered later, only stood inside as you painted.

>Plein Air stands you next to one of those paintings. The sky over your head and the sky in the painting share the same kind of hour — the same long afternoon, the same threatening storm, the same fog clinging to the river. One painting, chosen for right now. Tap the title to see why it was picked.

Do you know what the maximum SD card size that it'll support? I'm especially interested if a 1TB card will work.

Here's an easy script to scan for compromised packages:

Not my script. It's easy to read/parse. Never pipe a script directly to bash.
