The middle finger itself is protected speech. It does not create immunity for disruptive conduct at a public meeting, and omitting the conduct immediately before the arrest is misleading.

She got what she deserved. You can criticize. You cannot disrupt a public meeting and abuse people from the floor.

Apple promotes other Apple products in Apple products. End of the world. This yellow press is annoying. "Journalism". All this outrage to fullfill daily quota of text output.

And clickbaity title to go with it. As if there are temu ads on the lock screen.

Each user gets dedicated VM. They got contents of their own sandbox. Big deal. The level of excitement here is wildly disproportionate

I agree. Microcenter seems to sell a lot of flashy shiny garbage and not enough or at all of what matters — like cables or adapters.

It’s more a best buy than fry’s electronics.

We had a recently opened one here in the Bay Area — I went there once, having heard good things. Never again. It’s a bullshit emporium.

Bank of America provides 5.25% percent cash back on each category. Get one for every category. Done. (You need to enroll to preferred rewards for that). 3% is not worth to be bothered about, nor should anyone support robinhood in the first place.

You either play that game or subside others who do, regardless of of whether you like it or not — you are still participating. Prices are already higher for everyone.

iCloud’s HideMyEmail service generates @icloud.com addresses. Very easy, single click.

Nevertheless, I still use my personal name at lastname dot com for everything for decades and amount of spam is quite tolerable. Rarely it leaks into inbox. It’s even published on my personal web site in plain text.

Well, there is now some truth to it. For example, low quality HDMI cable will may be only good enough for low bandwidth, that would limit refresh rate, and/or color fidelity (e.g. chroma subsampling) and/or resolution.

So yea, “digital” cables are not immune to signal integrity issues, and better cables do perform better.

I understand that monster takes this to the next level of bullshit — but in principle, yes, more expensive cable cable can yield better quality. Or should I say — crappy cable can result in quality degradation

I completely agree. Only write if you have something to say. World does not need more pointless drivel, like the linked post.

Eh, ads can be blocked. 5% cash back on travel alone on the other hand makes it continue to be a no-brainer. (And Whole Foods if you shop there).

Everyone understands that you still pay for free shipping. That’s not the point though. If you have prime your stuff ships first. If you don’t — you pay for shipping and/or have to wait longer. Sometimes on purpose, sometimes not.

And then there is a massive list of other affiliate services prime members can use - each one another reason to use prime, if you happen to use those services.

I’m actually surprised how cheap prime is considering its value.

I have switched to using xargs to parallelize things: it has a benefit of being part of posix, and is not annoying about citations like parallel.
