Idk I like outlook. Its more feature rich and reliable than any other client Ive used. Especially since basically every company uses Echange for email.

Edit: I should clarify, I dont like outlook overall. But thats more because email in general sucks. Outlook is the best out of all of the email clients though, especially for power users.

10% of Americans live in towns of under 10000 people.

I wouldn't call that "insignificant" lmao

Yes it's definitely 100% a reasonable choice for people who don't even technically live in cities. Absolutely

The only thing that's been keeping me on OneNote is the handwriting stuff. I keep trying to move to Obsidian cause I like it but I take notes on my iPad constantly. As much or more than on my computer.

And I really like how OneNote will take my chicken scratch and use OCR to turn it into actual text.

I mean there's no sources cause (as far as I can tell) Microsoft isnt planning on nuking their market share.

But with 365, you get the cloud subscription. So that means OneDrive and Office files/emails being accessible in the cloud. Which, to be fair, is largely a really useful thing and besides OneDrive being a piece of shit program I don't hear any complaints about that being available.

Then when you install Windows it grabs a bunch of hardware IDs. This is things like what memory, CPU, graphics, drives, etc that you have installed and creates a "hardware key" that allows you to activate windows. When it does this, it sends that information off to Microsoft. According to Microsoft, it's to stop you from using a license key multiple times. But in my experience it doesn't really matter anymore.

But theoretically (and I really can't stress how far fetched this really is) Microsoft could mark your account as inactive which would cause you to lose access to all of your cloud files, and could theoretically (again, i can't stress how unlikely this is) brick your OS install. Then if you try to reinstall, it would already know your computer and prevent the installer from continuing.

And again, I know I've beaten this horse, but the chances of this happening are so close to zero, they may as well be.

Prusa is based in Prague, and according to some quick googling the average software developer in Prague makes 88k CZK (3800 USD or ~3500 eur), so about 526 CZK/hr (22/hr in both USD and EUR).

Which means they've potentially spent around 76.7 million CZK (~3.3 million USD, ~3 million EUR) into their slicer. Just for salaries.

This. The proprietary 3d printers arent the "enshitification" of 3d printers, they're what's finally going to make them go "mainstream".

Tech people need to remember how deep into these hobbies we really are, especially compared to "normies".

Its like with computers, people go "oh well you can get a better bang for your buck on your memory by not going with apple!". Which sounds great and everything until you remember that people don't know what memory is or what it does, let alone how to buy new memory, or how to disassemble a computer, or where the memory goes, or even why more memory can be good for you.

I compare it to fabric crafts because I don't know shit about them. I know (well, think) fabric is sold in bolts and that's about it. Hell I don't even know how much a bolt is, and we haven't even gotten to the different types of fabrics or ways to utilize them.

The vast majority of people don't want a 3d printer hobby, they just want to 3d print stuff. And the Bambu printers are as close to that as I've seen so far.

Not after it spread to their yard

Honestly this is the most sane take. If the asshole can't work with 2/3 of the team then they need to GTFO. I don't have the time or mental bandwidth to deal with shit like that.

why would they buy a car when they can pay the same price for public transport

They answered that

In some parts of the US not having a car would be a real problem

And truthfully, for a not insignificant part of the country, it won't be. Population densities just wouldn't support it.

I disagree. I think disability access should be one of the most important things considered when designing public spaces.

Its something that I (an American) honestly took for granted until I spent some time in Europe. I'm fortunate to be completely physically and mentally (for this conversation lol) capable, but I have friends who are not. But going around Europe, especially outside of big cities, it was shocking to see how many buildings aren't wheelchair accessible, how roads crossings aren't designed for people with vision impairments, how little braille there was, bathrooms without mobility bars, and countless other little things.

And the argument I heard a lot was either "but they're old buildings" or "it'll cost too much money" and honestly those are some BS answers.

Idk the US does a lot wrong, but the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) really does seem to be the global standard. And it's an incredibly good thing.

Actually he's the right way up in the driver's seat, he just rolled the car again

Graphene doesn't support any of my banking or MFA apps, at least last time I tried it.

Aren't all Xbox games on windows now? Either through steam, the Microsoft store, or gamepass?

a few days after a bomb explodes, most of the radiation would have depleted.

I know this is a settled fact, and supported by the fact that Japan had rebuilt both cities in under 6 years. But I wanted hard facts on this. Which, as it turns out, is really hard to find. I see a lot of reports basically echo what you said but nobody seems to have actually really measured this.

The best sources I found was this document from the which claims that soil radiation fell from 4.31 micro Curries per cm3 in hour 3, to just 0.23 half a day later, and 3.1x10(-5) 45 days later.

This site from the Japanese government claims that 24hrs after detonation the radiation at ground zero was 1/1000th of what it was immediately after.

They also pay off in a lot of ways besides the pure "dollar in/dollar out" kind of way that I think people forget about a lot. Things like soft power, economic growth, and cultural alliance are all incredibly powerful things.

Its a shame the current administration is trying to gut the last 80 years of work the US has put into those things.

I thought this was funny lol

Most car badges aren't actually plated anyways, they could save themselves a whole lot of trouble and just get some chrome spray paint and make it shiny still

Detroit style pizza is legit pizza. Don't be mad we can do your thing better than you haha

Oh yeah my bad, I read "lockdown" and "shutdown" lol
