  • Logitech's desire to put AI in my IO devices is exactly why I am moving to a different manufacturer. I want solid hardware, not hardware as a service. HP also is trying this with printers and it's total bullshit.

    If I am paying a monthly fee, I'd better not also have to buy garbage hardware. That better be provided for free and replaced when it inevitably fails.

  • My favorite phrase to use in all foreign countries is "Please forgive me, I am American." It gets a laugh out of almost everyone even when terribly butchered in any language and most people will then attempt English for you.

    Except Parisians, who do not care. I think they would prefer I point and grunt to trying either English or my awful French.

  • https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/expatriate

    "Expatriate" is from the Latin "expatriatus" and meaning to leave the country of one's origins or father specifically. It started in the 18th century as a word for exile, especially self-imposed exile; but now represents all those living in a country other than that of their birth.

  • This is why "they are the biggest" isn't a good reason to pick a vendor. If all these companies had been using different providers or even different OS, it wouldn't have hit so many systems simultaneously. This is a result of too much consolidation at all levels and one issue with the Microsoft OS monopoly.

  • The worst part about this news is knowing the probiotic non-digestable.carbohydrates they used to increase the protective bacteria strains and reduce signs of food addiction are currently sold as cat laxative for $15 a bottle now but they will be $1000 a dose when this is proven effective in humans.

  • The location of the wreck wasn't found until 1985 and it was definitely still a popular disaster story to tell. I remember books about it in my elementary school library in the late 1980s alongside volcanos and dinosaurs.

  • If you soaked your skin then that is just dead skin cells. Pilling happens on dry skin.

    Lotion is composed of a water part that gets absorbed or evaporated and a fat or wax part that only absorbs into the very top layer of dead cells.

  • In skincare discussions what you experienced is called "pilling" and it's the result of putting on a lotion or skin product too soon after another one that was applied too thickly or didn't have time to absorb fully. The balls are dead skin and the dried lotion or sunscreen that has gotten gummy and stuck to itself like eraser bits. Apply your sunscreen a little bit thinner and rub it in well and it shouldn't continue to happen.

  • Literally just pulled my daughter's high tops out of the washer. We unlace them and put them in a zippered laundry bag (cheap at most stores that sell Landry soap, look near the clothespins in the cleaning aisle) with the laced. Wash shoes alone with regular soap and a small amount of oxiclean on gentle with an extra rinse, cool water, smallest load. They finished looking very nice and we usually let shoes dry sitting out in the air on a towel for a day or 2 before wearing.

  • The interview is a vibe check first and foremost. If you vibe with the team we will overlook other things in your application. If you made it to interview, we already think you're good enough so don't stress trying to impress or apologize.

    Managers are mostly people who get tired of watching other people do things badly and decide to try to do better. You don't need a special degree or any magic to be a good manager, you should like people though.

    Everyone is faking it to some degree.
