half-arsing a product, people are hesitant to try it, due to other killed off products, google kills product. repeat

SkaveRat ,

Like, authenticy is good for good things, but it makes shitty things even shittier.

sounds like he needs that PR department

SkaveRat ,

great. thanks to you, the nonprofit is making a profit now

SkaveRat ,

My mom worked in accounting for the local government. You'd be surprised how many invoices are getting paid without double checking

SkaveRat ,

Sometimes they even destroy existing towns to get the resources

SkaveRat ,

And here I am, wearing those just for fun

SkaveRat ,

he wasn't white, so they didn't assume he was a doctor

SkaveRat ,

"whoops, a bug turned it on for everyone. But it's okay, just manually opt-out again, haha. sorry. our bad"

SkaveRat ,

And, ironically, pixel phones have great replacement part availability. At least so far

Google Pay is officially dead in the US. Just got the email.

We are writing to inform you about changes to your Google Pay experience. As we continue to provide safe and seamless payments to users around the world, we are also simplifying the app experience in the U.S. For years, Google Wallet has been the primary place to securely store payment cards used for tap and pay in stores,...

SkaveRat ,

slowly moving away from them one product at a time

you'd make a great google manager!

SkaveRat ,

Don't worry, the guy who came up with the Idea was fully baked

Spotify is raising the cost of Premium subscriptions, again (www.engadget.com)

Spotify is officially raising its Premium subscription rates in the US come July, following reports of the move in April. The platform is increasing its Individual plan from $11 to $12 monthly and its Duo plan from $15 to $17 monthly — the same jump as last year's $1 and $2 price hikes, respectively. However, its Family plan...

If it's the drop that's the problem: the package will see similar action in traditional parcel transportation

SkaveRat ,

Will the haackers charge a service fee?

SkaveRat ,

I would do it more often, if firefox would fucking finally add it into the browser.

And no, that weird plugin doesn't count. It's buggy as hell

It's literally the only reason I have chrome installed

SkaveRat ,

"why would they call the AI llama? Isn't that an animal?"

SkaveRat ,

they always had a llama as a mascot and as part of their slogan

SkaveRat ,

the weirdest location I ever heard that sound was a random small supermarket that had that sound as the scan-bleep-sound of the register barcode scanner.

Every item that was getting pulled over it, went "uh oh"

SkaveRat ,

yup. it was already quite hard to stay calm during the short time I had to queue

Linus Tech Tips (LTT) release investigation results on former accusations (x.com)

There were a series of accusations about our company last August from a former employee. Immediately following these accusations, LMG hired Roper Greyell - a large Vancouver-based law firm specializing in labor and employment law, to conduct a third-party investigation. Their website describes them as “one of the largest...

SkaveRat ,

The defamation statement was maybe a bit much, but also warranted. People need to know that just throwing accusations out there that are just plainly not true is actually legally problematic.

I also don't get why people feel this is "threatening people who want to speak up in the future".

If your "speaking up" has merit, it's not defarmation. Plain and simple.

Companies make mistakes (and aparently some were made in this case, and dealt with).

But I find it concerning that people also just blindly trust any and all claims that individuals make about these kind of situations. Believe that they are telling the truth, but also verify that this is actually true. The latter part is important. Blind trust is as damaging as not doing anything at all about a proble, There are people out there who get laid off for legitimate reasons, and try to retaliate for that. Even by claiming BS reasons.

SkaveRat ,

fwiw, they changed their process and output amount a lot after that

SkaveRat ,

personally, I think they handled the situation the best way the could.

Gamers Nexus had genuine good criticism, and they took it, took a moment to pause and implemented fixes.

Mistakes happen. And they learned from them

SkaveRat , (edited )

this is for the transition. no point in porting your software if nobody has the hardware. This will get people to get the hardware, as they can just keep using the existing software, and wait until it's properly ported

Edit: you people really think windows is the only software that needs a translation? Do you only ever use your OS on your computer, and not a single software more?

SkaveRat ,

It has all the path data

Source: I just tested it

SkaveRat ,

Sorry, only London available

If you want to experience offline maps, you gotta go to London

SkaveRat ,

If you're willing to pay a bit for convenience, there's put.io

Account also easily shareable between friends. They don't care

SkaveRat ,

As someone outside the us: I wish

Amazon had (maybe still has, no idea) the habit of having some movies and shows only available in your local language

SkaveRat ,

I'll send you a pizza once a year, isn't that gratitude enough? Millenials...

SkaveRat ,

sends the QA department

SkaveRat ,

I wouldn't call it an affront.

More of a proof that a god doesn't exist

SkaveRat ,

Well, that's what you get if you choose to be treated like a child by a company

SkaveRat ,

Cybertruck owners can have a finger guillotine. as a treat

SkaveRat ,

No, it has to be something bigger than the panel gap

SkaveRat ,

Then it will be a frasket

SkaveRat ,

Depends on the local laws. It's not road legal in the EU, for example

SkaveRat ,

Fucks it up

SkaveRat ,

next step: an hour later the tranquilizer sentries activate

SkaveRat ,

I don't have a lot of HA setup.

But I like to be able to control my living room lights from different places in the room (door and couch) as well as having keyboard shortcuts on my laptop for them

SkaveRat ,

I use a combination of Win+L for the main light and Win in combination with some other keys around L, depending on the light.

I use xfce, and in the settings it's possible to define custom shortcuts, where I just use curl to send a request to the HA api.
