Twelve. Those bastards at the Apple Store broke my mini when I brought it in for a battery replacement. RIP mini

I hired a tax professional once. I also did my own taxes because I wanted to validate the first time experience and found many major things wrong.

Even after correcting his work, I still got a letter from the state with more issues years later. Never again.

Sometimes when the snow builds up, the safest driving is to be in the “lane” made by heavy travel that blows the snow to the sides. Staying in the real lane would make for hard and likely dangerous driving.

No argument or anything here, just saying what I think is an interesting nuance as someone who has spent a lot of life driving in snowy places.

I’m in Denver now and it’ll be really interesting to see how these things handle the effects of a real storm. If I had to make a guess it would be that they’ll all just stop driving for a day or two.

For what it's worth, I live in the USA and back in 2020 I had to stand in line to obtain toilet paper. Every system has its pros and cons.

No doubt you're right, Capitalism has been winning for a long time, but the world is constantly changing, and right now it looks like we're gradually making the planet uninhabitable. I personally wouldn't count it a win if the entire game gets destroyed in the process.

The functionality comes from a port of PCSX2, a PlayStation 2 emulator for PC.

That’s definitely not always the case. My CPA made a mistake on my state taxes and they explicitly told me I was liable because it was my tax filing. I suppose they could have been lying to me but I doubt it.

I currently drive a mid 2000s Ford truck, which runs great and meets my needs, but lately I got interested in minivans/people carriers. I pretty quickly realized that newer vehicles seem to not just record, but export a lot of driving data.

The minivan market is small. There are really only 4-5 available and every single one sends telemetry data from the car and makes it hard/impossible to opt out of selling your data. Additionally, without pretty extensive work there is no means of physically disabling the telemetry, which forces you to trust they'll honor your opt out request (vs re-enabling it with some update).

I'm clearly in the vast minority on this, but it's so frustrating that there are no options beyond buying and installing a third-party bypass to disable this type of tracking. Worse, I'm aware that the absence of data is data itself. Is my insurance going raise my rates because my vehicle won't provide telemetry for them to buy?

If you find a solution to this, please come back and post.

Yes, I could have been more precise. It has a poor dark mode implementation that doesn’t allow per-page toggling (unless I’m missing something). A lot of the things I mentioned are half baked. In my opinion, properly building those features should be higher priority than the bi-annual theme update.

I wish Firefox would stop rolling out redesigns, color themes, and other visual tweaks every couple years and instead focus on features and bugs.

Improve Adblock capabilities, better tab and session management, improve sync, improve site css and js management, built in dark-mode.

Hell, just look at the list of most used extensions, it’s a great place to start understanding what users want.

There are definitely some cool features missing, but I'd take KDE over any other window manager without a second thought if it were possible.

Obviously it’s impossible to know unless you’re sitting in on union discussions, but there is a perverse incentive at play. If one fears automation taking their job, I could see resistance to allowing any automation “foot in the door” so to speak.
