Wouldn't that be more of an inside job?

For fun and profit

Then scaring it out

The nightcap is cheap and low effort. All you really need are two pieces of scrap fabric to sew together. A knit beanie has to be, well, knit. Now we have machine/robotic knitting, but hand knitting consumes a huge amount of time and energy. The nightcap clearly came about at a time when clothing was straight up made in the home, often from scrounged fabric. Nowadays the higher quality beanie is the obvious choice. It's snug to your head, can be purchased at many different price points, is manufactured using cheap outsourced labor halfway around the world and can be at your door step 12 hours after a mouse click. I don't think I've ever seen someone unironically wear one of those floppy night caps in my life unless it was part of a cheap children's novelty pajama set or costume.

Deep cut

I'd puff a few hits of the oil vape out on the porch and stick a fat prilla of swedish snus under my lip. By my side a cup of herbal chai tea or seltzer, maybe a nice beer or just still water. Throw on a record - I've got The Beatles, Bowie, Jimi Hendrix, pink Floyd, Radiohead, spoon, dr dog, the shins and a lot more!

OR turn on my ham radio for some scan and chill on the uhf/vhf repeaters where the other weirdos of my flavor chat about nerd stuff and life, trade gossip and just generally hang out at night.

There's a reason pixels are preferred, it's not some kind of malicious conspiracy. The most common sense reason being that there's a lot of overlap and cross-pollination of devs in the android world. between Google and graphene os in particular.

Pixels are also targeted because it's a mass-produced flagship with decent specs that is the closest thing to being already rooted off the shelf. It's the path of least resistance. Plus the used market is robust. A used carrier unlocked pixel 1 or 2 models behind the latest one can be obtained for several hundred dollars cheaper than it originally retailed for.

It takes effort to support additional brands/models.

Most brands lock their bootloaders and make "owning" the device difficult.

I wonder if AI applications other than just "be a generalist chat bot" would run into the same thing. I'm thinking about pharma, weather prediction, etc. They would still have to "understand" their english-language prompts, but the LLMs can do that just fine today, and could feed systems designed to iteratively solve for problems in those areas. A model feeding into itself or other models doesn't have to be a bad thing.

Fair enough. But when the real stuff is $15 for a sliver that lasts the afternoon... we take what we can get I suppose

Have you tried sartori or belgioioso Parmesan? They aren't parmegiano Reggianio, but they definitely scratch a similar itch. If you're talking about "American cheese" itself then, yeah, you either know that that's not cheese or are living in ignorant bliss not knowing what cheese actually is

Perhaps someone with multiple instances of curiosity?

The store can configure them to have higher tolerances. One store near me turned the scale off entirely. They have way more throughput on the machines, and don't need as many human cashiers now. The scales didn't enough theft in the first place.

Lucky for them they can just sit back and watch for now. Can't burn as many fossil fuels if you kneecap your own economy. They get to poach some of the sacked experts, too.

China liked your post

Don't know, the weekly reporting system reports stopped coming months ago. I thought it was just me switching to New Outlook but I guess it's everyone?

It's gonna be the year of the Linux phone, I can feel it!
