Ah this makes more sense! I was wondering how OP was using tiktok for a todo list

HDR availability is huge

I didnt care for it at first. It was a long road getting from there to here. It was a long time. But the song's time is finally here. You're not going to hold it down no more. You're not going to hold it down.

mangasee is pretty solid and usually has higher quality than average uploads.

What are you quoting?

It was a very controversial choice at the time too. It's kind of funny how the internet has cooled off on the intro, in some cases even warmed up to it, but back in the day it got such a spicy reception.

I love how theyre so buoyant they kinda wobble around the oceans. So many way more effective and mobile species get unlucky while these little guys just putter around.

Yeah I think people forget that these kinds of complaints and memes arent geared at the nice old lady who rents the unit upstairs and who,along with her husband, in the 60s/70s invested in some cheap real estate to help get them through retirement.

This is more he big boys and girls who have eviction down to a science, who dont repair things on time, who are hard to get a hold of, and who raise rent on the regular because despite their overhead remaining the same "everyone else is doing it so good luck!"

The irony is that a lot of the "pro landlord" development and laws favor the big wealthy LLCs and very rich individuals over the mom and pops supplementing their fixed incomes.

Sometimes an idea can be so dumb, it comes back around again as GENIUS. Congratulations.

All I have to ask is why though? They already have access to skinned aosp and from there can(and do)quite a bit of tweaking on their own. Fireos has been a worse version of android for some time now and Im unsure what the benefit of making their own in house OS would be.

If it's a true GNU/Linux OS with compatibility with linux programs, then that would be kind of neat, and if it's open enough to let advanced users install flatpaks(I suspect it's going to be immutable so at least flatpaks would be nice) then that could be neat. Currently it's very easy to sideload on fireos devices and even install the play store in full so it's possible the end product could be more like the steamdeckOS which is very much a user friendly store front end with a power user true linux experience underneath.

That said, for some reason I suspect that they will be locking things down even more and its going to be one of those many user facing linux devices that's technically linux but very limited. Like a smart fridge interface or something. If this is the case then dropping android support would be a bad move. You lose easy/lazy portability to your store from developers who already have a product to sell and you lose many apps that already exist, and for power users you lose access to the many apps that can easily be side loaded like tachiyomi(though I imagine amazon would rather you buy from them than buy their subsidized $80 tablets to read pirated manga/comics and library books on libby)

But who knows if they actually do an OK job this could lead to a new wave of GNU compatible touch forward apps for the rest of us. Linux has gotten a lot better at touch forward design over the last 4 or 5 years on its own, but its still fairly rough.

In our country we respect halloween. And then steamroll over thanksgiving because theres already christmas stuff up

If you work in something that involves graphic design or imaging absolutely

When compared to other professional level laptops the macbooks do put up a good fight. They have really high quality displays which accounts for some of the cost and of course compared to a commercial grade laptop like a thinkpad the prices get a lot closer(when they arent on sale like thinkpads frequently do).

That said even then the m1 macbook is over a thousand dollars after tax and that gets you just 256GB of storage and 8GB of ram. Theyre annoyingly not as easy to find as intel offerings but you can find modern ryzen laptops that can still give you into the teens of screen on time for less with way more ram and storage space. The m1 is still the better chip in terms of power per watt and battery life overall, but then getting the ram and storage up to spec can make it $700 more than a consumer grade ryzen.

I imagine this is more of a "what do you wish existed here" not a "we should immediately make these instances so that they sit in the dark with 3 subscribers until the site grows more"

Yeah its funny theyre putting it so critically when the questions and system pretty much demand that you lie. In fact some interviewers may argue that the truthfulness of the answer isnt what they want as much as they want an employee's ability to think on the fly and quickly BS their way through.

Which honestly I think is not a great trait to look for in most roles.

But seriously these questions can be frustrating.

"What are your weaknesses"

Well I have allergies , I cant reach really high places, I often have trouble going to bed on time, I dont like waking up early, Im a socially awkward weirdo, I suspect I have adhd. Oh related to the job? Sure let me tell you all the(if any) weaknesses I have pertaining to the job youre screening for.

"Name a time that you failed and how you handled it" is more "tell us a story where something difficult happened at work and how were you able to fix it" but if you want I can use this truthful interview as a free therapy session and unload on you.

I find people who actually study language are more tolerant toward different pronunciations and informal speech and colloquialisms and less likely to be grammar nazis.

A demanding game on a macbook air m2 will still draw close to 30 watts and while that is actually still good for a laptop relative to what the output is, and you can probably do things to improve that by tweaking in game settings, it's still going to suck power out of a 50Whr battery.

Steamdecks also run an efficient ryzen apu that lets them play games for 2-8 hours depending on how things are tweaked. Likewise on my 39Whr ryzen thinkpad(intel got a 59whr battery dont get me started on that nonsense) I can get 8-12 hours depending on usage normal browsing as well.

This isnt to take down the m1 & m2. They are definitively more powerful, theyre definitively more efficient, I'm not disputing that. But the gap isnt as huge as it was when the m1 launched.

Ah yeah bench pressing without a spot is tricky.

Just buy a camera. Searching for consensus on this you'll find people online telling you "well who needs a point and shoot, modern cameras are good enough, the camera you have is better than the good camera you leave at home" and etc, but for under $500 you can get a used or even new decent point and portable digital camera(similar form factor to what everyone had in the early to mid 00s) and it will fit in your pocket, bag, around neck and mop the floor with any cell phone camera when photographing anything you have to zoom in on.

Depending on what you buy you'll of course have more of a learning curve compared to the ai, but it wont have that over sharpened ai enhanced oil painting look that phone cameras give you when you zoom in a little, and yes the results can be much better. You can take snapshots with fast shutter of birds in flight, stop a helicopters blades, capture precipitation, and of course zoom in a little into things that the cell phone camera would poop itself trying to capture.

Plus if you just want to sync data there are already plenty of cloud based and data syncing services that can fulfill that without needing a phone laptop.

That said with USB C based devices in theory you should be able to use use an adapter in order to plug in an hdmi, and mouse and keyboard(or use a bluetuth one)
