No idea about which specific type of business it is, but keeping that history long term can have some benefits, especially to outside people. Some government agencies require companies to keep records for a certain number of years. It could also help out in legal investigations many years in the future and show any auditors you keep good records. From a historical perspective, it can be matched to census, birth, and death certificates. A lot of generational history gets lost.
Companies also just hoard data. Never know what will be useful later. shrug
You have to walk... barefoot. My feet are messed up and I have some impressive callouses on the balls of my feet. They are a little better after surgery, but recovery sucked. Ultimately, your feet build up protection. Caking on mud probably helped. Animal skins, rudimentary sandals from various plants, and other natural resources could provide extra protection. Unfortunately, we have built an environment made for shoes and evolution is doing the rest. Walking on pavement is not great without shoes. Especially when it bakes. Walking on soil and grass feels a lot better.
I am really trying to follow this, but I need more coffee I think. I am happy to be educated if it can be explained a little easier or some good reference material.
Well, since you may be forced to use it, here are some utilities to make it better:
Rectangle Pro - 200% necessary. $10. Worth every penny.
Cleanshot X
Homebrew
AltTab
iTerm2
Oh My Zsh
Karabiner Elements may be useful if you need macros/key bindings.
Also, this is cross platform, but giving a shout-out to Obsidian. With a couple plugins, it is a fantastic notes app that is markdown based.
There are plenty of things that are irritating in OSX, but there is a lot I like after using it for a while. Most of the irritations are gone with the above utilities. Unlike Windows, I didn't have to spend a whole bunch of time debloating the OS and advertisements are not shoved in my face. I probably turned it off, but I don't have a damn digital assistant shoved in my face either. Both Linux and OSX (which is Unix) have very clean interfaces. As someone with severe ADHD, an overly distracting UI will stress me out. A lot.
I do have some rather strong feelings about what they are doing with permissions in the Sequoia beta, but I also get what they are trying to achieve. iOS though is torture. I will say that for my iPad that it has improved a lot in 18, but I have 0 desire to ever have an iPhone. iPad is still ultimately hindered by the OS. The iPad Pro has an absurd amount of power, but the restrictions in iPad OS hobble what it is truly capable of.
That sucks. Some locations everything is locked up, other ones are better. I usually stick to the "nice" mall or go to a standalone store instead. Just in case you didn't know, places like Sephora and Ulta allow you to return whatever. If you hate it or it bothers your skin, just return it. They will also give you samples, for some things at least, to take home if you ask. Such as foundation or something. They have these little tiny generic containers they can fill. Target used to be pretty good for skincare, but I haven't been in one for a long time.
If it helps, you can at least use any USBC charger you want now. I love my M1 air, but have some similar ranty feelings about the older models from 10-15 years ago. I hope you at least give it a chance. I don't think I could ever go back to Windows. It is Mac or Linux for me.
Took me a minute to find it, but thanks. However, I still can't seem to change the text size and I feel like it isn't very accessible. I couldn't get the text size buttons to work on the webpage either. At least I could zoom in and scroll everywhere. I am using Vivaldi.
Muting! I have done a few safety light curtains before and it is really cool how they can tell the difference between a human and a pallet/part/etc with just lasers. There are some really complex safety scanners out there, such as the area ones, but it is neat.
The thing that would make this easiest is the direction of travel. If everything goes the same way around the belt, not terribly difficult to detect things going the opposite direction.
Main point is there are a lot of easy ways to prevent stupid, but stupid will still try and circumvent it.
Me too! I have used it for a couple other non-rpi devices in the past as well. It is super simple and works on my Mac. I haven't even looked at other utilities in years.
Holy shit Rockbox was amazing. I might still be subscribed to the mailing list. I used that on a few different MP3 players as a kid. I had no idea. Fuck I am old.
I deny it every single time it asks. I wish it would take the hint and stop asking. I have an iPad and a Pixel and both app stores are complete cancer. I only open Google Play a couple times a year, but I am usually opening the Apple one to force everything to update.
That was the best day ever when it went down a few years ago while I was doing an install of an Amazon site. They have some "test" software that we have to run to validate the system and it was completely down. Still got some things done that day, but it was utterly hilarious to watch all of the Amazon personnel run around in a panic for a few hours. Fucking Prime trucks stuck on the side of the road with no instructions on what to do next. Utterly precious.
I think this view is a little short sighted. I am glad that you don't seem picky about your peripherals, but they are very important to others. As someone with a disability, if my mouse didn't work on Linux, I wouldn't even bother trying. I have spent a lot of money on peripherals and them working in Mac and Windows, but not Linux would be utterly rage inducing. It is irritating enough that I can't adjust the dpi in Linux, but it is at least usable. I am still salty that every single pair of headphones I own use proprietary codecs that are not supported.
I absolutely do not blame anyone for not using Linux if their peripherals do not work. I get that it is the "fault" of proprietary drivers. Unfortunately, some devices are not popular enough or too difficult for someone in the Linux community to want to work on it. I don't blame the community either. However, telling someone they can't use their mouse or keyboard the way it was intended isn't going to convince anyone to use Linux.
My point is, hardware costs money, is a physical device that you touch for hours at a time, and is configured to make your life easier. Tactile and ergonomic comfort is important. Macros, lights, and dpi settings are important to some people. For me, it is just dpi and smooth scrolling. Not everyone is happy with a cheap mouse and keyboard or wants to throw perfectly functional electronics in the bin.
I am terrified to talk to mine about politics. Even though the Suarez's are cool as shit, when it comes to Trump it is like I am talking to a bunch of terrified children.
Hmm. Hard to say. I admit I was bad and didn't read the article until now. He threatened them over the phone, which is a hell of a lot easier than in person. I think the point of the article is to show that someone was actually punished for it and I wouldn't be surprised if it was racial bias that resulted him getting punished over some white nutjob.
How diverse is Indiana? I spent a few months in Fort Wayne and it was very very white. Ohio is a weird one though I have spent a lot of time there too. New York is pretty diverse. I think the other person was right though that the news skews what is reported on.
Sad part is how much PP has had to increase security over the last 10-15 years. No more walking through the front door. They keep the doors locked and have to buzz you in. Wouldn't be surprised if some locations have security guards and more protection for their employees and patients.
Yeah, I have Russia and a few other countries blocked on my network. That is a no-go for me personally.
