Is there another option? Or were you asking if it leaks memory?

Maybe you were asking if it implements custom destructors? GC?

Some people are dense... now in three dimensions!

I'd suggest buying the OpenWRT One. I've bought a bunch, and I think it's terrific.

Oh dang, we all know –based on observation of your throughput and availability– that you're AI, you just can't "be nervous".

Jokes aside, thanks for your selection. I had read some, but missed others until your comment.

If it matters, I think there's some people that hasn't decided yet what tribe (pro-AI/anti-AI) they belong to. There's probably dozens of us!

Indeed. Seems that Amazon is doing this more and more. Here in the US, I've just received a used (and damaged) Rode microphone, sold and shipped by Amazon 'as new'. And as you said, I returned it and decided not to order anything valuable from them, ever again.

Still, I wonder if these (arguably illegal) practices are still worth it for merchants and companies, considering that there's no enforcement and the majority of consumers don't drastically change their shopping habits when being abused.

I wonder how they are going to prevent abuse-theft, assuming the products are free or under the market's cost. There will always be someone wiping it all (to sell or whatever), and the vending machines will be always empty. Or, if there's some measure (e.g. limiting supply per person via biometrics), it may turn to be a disincentive for some people that need it.

I'm pretty sure wg0 was being facetious.

I agree. I really hope that they improve it.

Not sure about the SP3, but my SP4 (which, btw, had no problems running Linux) was afflicted by the so called "flickergate", and I didn't manage to replace it. Since then, I sworn off any Microsoft hardware. Their software and OS, I had sworn these off years before, which makes these devices even less appealing...

Interesting. My brother had a very similar experience with an ASUS laptop when doing a RMA several months ago, in Europe. It seems that it's systemic.

My favorites are Debian for servers, Arch for desktops. Debian in desktops didn't really work for me... a rolling release makes more sense.

Pitifully, Porkbun's marketplace depends on Paypal... Otherwise it'd be perfect!

I've always seen Russell Brand -like many street preachers- as something similar to the raw verbal intelligence we see now in LLMs: capable of bringing a stream of words with interesting derivatives, easily interpretable as agreeable and intelligent, and then hallucinating a little. Yet in the depths of those regurgitated concepts that are a mix of things you've already seen, you search for glimmers of any abstract idea that you haven't thought before. Something that tickles your brain. And you find none.

He also has good timing.

Ryan —not Okai— is the one with a legal practice.

Ha! Somewhat unrelated, but that reminded me of a homeless guy in Portland whose intro line was "do you know how you say dragonfly in Spanish?", to which I responded "libélula" (I knew it because Spanish is my mother tongue). Interesting, he seemed kinda pissed off, as I spoiled his soliciting routine. Maybe he's the human version of those sites!
