Joe Biden wants more people to start living in empty offices
Reply in thread
Agreed. This is a good idea overall, but the implementation smells like a bailout of commercial real estate developers to me.

Bovino claims Border Patrol agents are ‘the victims’ in deadly Minneapolis shooting
Dude isn’t even a political appointee. He’s a regular old career civil servant (GS-15 to be precise) who pretends he’s far more important than he is. He is a walking hatch act violation and I hope he eventually rots in prison and loses his pension.

A Rivian owner was in a fender bender. The repair bill was $42,000
It’s things like this that make me think the big automakers will eventually come out on top in the EV space.
Also, I wonder whether the extreme weight of electric vehicles has been factored into insurance premiums yet. I would think they would cause a lot more damage in collisions due to being so much heavier than other vehicles.

Sadly, both Home Depot and Target have “marketplaced” their online stores as well, so you have to sort through the garbage just like Amazon.

YSK: How to protect yourself against Etsy’s plan to prevent class action lawsuits
Reply in thread
Re: enshittification - I totally agree that they’ve ruined what Etsy was actually good for and now they’re just milking it dry. It’s all generic, mass produced crap now and the search result ads within their site are incredibly obtrusive.

iOS17 - Battery Drain Worse Than Recent Beta
Reply in thread
I’m certainly suspicious of them intentionally not fixing some performance bugs until later to encourage people to upgrade now that the new phones are launching.
The fact that the battery drain has gotten worse with the final iOS 17.0 version is what really made me suspicious and why I wanted to see what others have experienced.
The joke is on them (or, really, me) because I have a 15 pro arriving tomorrow anyways.

Drug-induced liver injuries rise in the U.S. as supplements grow in popularity: What to know
Reply in thread
And how many people are buying no-name Chinese supplement brands on Amazon, too. It blows my mind that people buy stuff they put in their body from those brands. I wonder if people just assume that they’re regulated/inspected like food or real drugs.

Yeti
Reply in thread
Walmart’s brand, Ozark Trail, makes great stainless cups/tumblers and rotomolded coolers, too. But we all know half the appeal of Yeti is the branding flex, so other brands just won’t do for a lot of folks.

How easy is to get a prepaid SIM-card in the US for travel?
Reply in thread
T-Mobile will issue an E-SIM for their prepaid service. I have used it as a secondary network within the past year to supplement the poor Verizon coverage in certain areas. Check their site for details

When you're on the plane and about to descend
After a flight 10 years ago where we had to circle for 30+ mins before landing and I thought I was gonna piss myself, I ALWAYS piss right before descent if a flight is longer than 45 mins or so.

iOS17 - Battery Drain Worse Than Recent Beta
Reply in thread
Genuine question: Would the caching/reindexing have been different between the later beta releases and the final release? Would those incremental beta releases not have triggered the process each time? If not, then this explanation makes sense, though the one thing that doesn’t make sense is that I’m still seeing lower life after a full week.
Regardless, it seems like a nuke and pave is probably in order to see if that corrects the issue.
