  • Can confirm (via a insignifigant sample size anecdote)

    We recently visited Canada, and not a populated part of it. Two lane highways to get everywhere. I think every single person with a Canadian license plate pulled over to let us pass at their earliest convenience when we came up behind them. No long line of cars. They pulled over just to let us pass. It was mind blowing, so fucking pleasant.

    The sample size might be insignifigant, but I think I could count on one hand the amount of times that's happened while driving on two lane highways in America, something I've been doing for years. Everyone thinks they're driving the correct speed and you can fuck off if you think differently.

  • Yeah that's a very editorialized version and I hate that it's the top comment.

    Obviously the coffee isn't going to be 100x better or more unique than a normal espresso. The point of the video was not to "discover" this, and if that's all you got out of it, you missed the point.

  • Are they actually that bad still? My OnePlus Watch 2 lasts multiple days on a charge, and I keep it topped off just by charging while I shower every 1-3 days. I don't even worry about it on my frequent two night camping trips. I kinda assumed Apple was in the same realm by now.

  • Battery life, sure, but functionality, nah. Apple is all about appearances, and a black/white screen running at 1fps isn't a good appearance.

    Honestly even I wouldn't want an e-ink watch when there are other watches out there that get good battery life and have so much more functionality. My OnePlus Watch 2 gets me a few days. I only charge it when I shower and basically never have to worry about battery even on my frequent weekend camping trips.

  • I'm very confused about your setup tbh. Can you get a data plan that doesn't come with a phone number for your phone? Is that what's going on?

    I do believe I've heard that Google messages (and therefor RCS) doesn't support dual Sim, which is absolutely bullshit. It's currently the same as a closed standard with empty promises for being open.

  • Yeah. I used Textra for years, and was confused why it was taking so long to get RCS. Finally decided to look it up and learning that it wasn't an open protocol yet. It's frustrating.

    I have switched to Google messages, and it's been nice to text people who don't know enough about messaging to use a different app. It's only nice because Google's Messaging app is so commonly the default though.

    It needs to be open and available in all apps that support SMS.

  • I'm a 20-30 something (26) and, generally, I think it's younger people who are starting to struggle with this (<21 maybe?). All of my classmates seemed to be OK at handling files. From what I saw in highschool and college it was more to do with computer hygiene than incapability.

  • I understand how it works, but that's irrelevant if it does work as a tool in my toolkit. I'm also not relying on the LLM, I'm taking it with a massive grain of salt. It usually gets most of the way there, and I have to fix issues or have it revise the code. For simple stuff that'd be busy work for me, it does pretty well.

    It would be my fuck up if it fucks up, and I don't catch it. I'm not putting code it writes directly into production, I'm not stupid.
