That would be sooo good

I wouldn't be so stoked about it. Retail chains use alp kinds of dirty tactics to get products cheaper, this is probably one of them.

Can't say I didn't expect it since Max can get away with anything, but still facepalm. I'm guessing Alpha Tauri had to lobby that the impeding wasn't anything serious anyway.

Check out Like Stories of Old and Joseph Anderson, although the latter haven't posted anything in a long time...

I like both the piped bot and the tldr bot for the same reason: I don't need to visit a horribly bloated, ads and scripts ridden web site, which most news sites are. So I take the bot as a really good service. Also consider that without it I'd say most will just read the title and may make conclusions based on that. I'd say that's a bigger advantage than the downsides you mention.

(Yes I use adblocks and stuff. Most news sites are still a drag to visit and difficult to read.)

The energy wouldn't be lost, most of it would be used to heat the inside of the oven itself; and the air inside it, some of which can escape I guess, but that won't make much difference whether there's a pan or not.

However the pan itself needs to be heated up as well - or maybe not "needs to", but will regardless, and that's energy that will go into the pan instead of the rest of the oven.

So if anything, the whole thing will heat up slower because there's more cold metal. It will also cool down slower after the heat is turned off, because there's more hot metal.

If you're not sure, take the question to an extreme: an empty oven vs. one with a huge 100kg block of metal inside it. Which one will heat up faster?

Carlos ftw. But I anticipate either latte boy or crashappy Sharl may wipe him out on start tomorrow

AliExpress is completely fine, nothing sketchy about it in principle. You can find trash on it since it's a very open marketplace, making it the same as Amazon or eBay.

Except that unlike Amazon, AX doesn't copy their sellers' products just to sell them under their own brand and kick the sellers out, nor does it sign monopolistic pacts with Apple. Workers treatment is about the same I guess... So correction, less sketchy than Amazon or eBay.

Wish specialises in dogshit and review manipulation though. Not good for anything more than a phone case, and I'd rather buy those on AX anyway.

I think the bot is fine in principle. The YouTube web site is fucking terrible and it's nice to introduce people who don't use automatic redirects or 3rd party clients to an alternative.

My problem is that it would offer only piped.video links. We don't know how long the piped.video instance will work, but well that's the case for any instance. Ideally a bot would provide at least two links - piped and invidious, and maybe cycle or randomly choose instances. Perhaps under a spoiler tag.

Of course it's up to community mods to choose, but I think bots like this or the tldr bot provide value even if they can cause that "Reddit moment".

Yea but I guess that's something the lw/bridge admins would have to set up with the bot makers, wouldn't they

I didn't even know you can partition a card like that... But when I had a card with some problems and was trying different things to recover it, I learned Android refuses to mount a card as internal storage if it was messed with in any way, such as trying to clone the card onto another (unless they're 100% identical I guess) or doing any sort of partitioning. It will just refuse to mount or even acknowledge it.

And since it's not mounted, it won't show up in any way, including through adb. The only thing available in the phone is to reformat it. Maybe with root you could do more, idk.

Maybe you can revert the partitioning with a separate SD card reader in your computer.

Ed: Btw another thing is that SD cards in general aren't meant to be partitioned in the first place, since they don't have their own controller or driver or whatever it is that can receive and interpret such commands. So if you partition an SD card, most OSs will recognise only one partition. Why even is there an adb command to partition, I don't know, but it's hardly good for anything practical imo.

Ah okay

Isn't feddit.nl defederated?

Eh I just want a bot that will notify me of new posts and reports on Matrix

There are a lot of phones that have some of the features - Sony has punchless displays, some cheap phones have headphone jacks, all the Motorolas have two SIMs, some phones have SD cards in shared slots, Pixels and some others have unlockable bootloaders, it's just basically impossible to get one with all of this...

I'd just want to be passively notified, not looking to control the bot

Could the bridge be used by bots that work with Discord but not with Matrix? 🤔Bc there's quite a few of those, and me as a Matrix user can't have anything

My bad here, I didn't mean AAC, but ALAC (lossless) and other Apple's own mp4 variants. Indeed not sure how's the support in core Android, although I'd guess ALAC should be since it's part of mp4 specification.

I haven't goofed around with it in a while, but some ~10 years ago when I was doing tech reviews I was looking into ALAC quite a bit and was surprised how nice it is, and apparently easy enough to implement that even lots of hardware devices supported it without even advertising it. Also 3rd party audiobook players can often deal with Apple's audiobook DRM.

Basically, Apple did surprisingly well with audio formats while also supporting some open formats (at least in hardware), so maybe that's also a reason why I'm not so adamant about formats being 100% free from the start, as long as they get the codec ball rolling.

But again it's been 10 years since I was looking into this closely so I'm very fuzzy on the details.
