Benefits of smoking cigarettes?
Reply in thread
As a half a pack a day smoker for most of my life, this is what all addicts say.
You're just in denial.
If you can quit whenever you want then why is this worth the fight to you? Because you're addicted.
They help you get through the day because not having them is a stressor. Because you're addicted.
I haven't had a cigarette in like 2 years and they still sound good sometimes. Because I'm addicted.

I just saw where Guy Ritchie exclusively used air soft guns on The Covenant because it was right after this.

Top 20 CEO pay in the S&P 500 is disgusting

Why should the shareholders interest even be prioritized. What about customers? Or employees? Or the business itself?
This priority on short term profits for stock price is toxic to functional capitalism.

Apple forced to ditch iPhone lightning charger
Reply in thread
Are you sure it's firmware or software limited?
I assumed they just kept the lightning controller, which as you said had USB 2.0 speeds, and then hardwired a USB-C adapter into the phone/circuit board. So it's a hardware limit.

How quickly will a lemmy instance eat up storage?
Reply in thread
It won't scale linearly. A lot of those users will be subscribed to subs the instance is already replicating. It would only be new subs that would add to the growth.

What's going on with Stack Overflow's traffic?
Reply in thread
It doesn't just whine that someone's already answered the question. Oh it has been asked? Then link to the fucking answer!
My biggest pet peeve is when the first Google result for stack overflow is someone bitching at the asker to Google the question.

And then offered to pay for the BOM of the device acting as though that completely makes up for the mistake, ignoring the potential harm to Billets intellectual property.
Then their apology is all butt hurt that they THOUGHT they'd offered to pay for it, but only sent the email internally, not realizing their mistake until called out again. Then whining that no one is giving them the benefit of the doubt when they've demonstrated lack of judgement throughout the whole ordeal.

A lot of us use jackett or prowlarr already for radarr/sonarr integration. I use it occasionally to search multiple sites at once and avoid using public torrent sites' front ends.

My job incorrectly thinks I'm Native American, should I tell them?

I think it's probably more likely HR purposely 'fat fingered' it to pad their minority stats for equal opportunity employment. Maybe I'm just cynical.

Oh, it hurts reddit in the sense people looking for help will stop thinking of Reddit as the place to find it.

how does my "neighbor" hear my private telephone conversations.

Not an iPhone user, but I'd assume there's a way to view Bluetooth connections. In Android you just long press the Bluetooth icon in the system shade (where you set airplane mode and toggle WiFi etc.)

How Can I Make this Legless Bed Rise 2-inches?

I don't think it's the height of the table, it's that it needs to roll under the bed.

Let me just call some other hospitals, surgeons, and anesthesiologists to price shop when my kid needs surgery.
Nevermind the fact you're further limited by the network decided by the insurance provider you don't get to choose...

Sonarr/Radarr, is this still a thing?
Very much so. I just switched to prowlarr from jacket to handle searches. I use pirate bay for all media 1337x, and eztv for television and find most everything that's not obscure. Have it all behind a VPN though obviously.

Should I putchase a 4-year-old nVidia TV Pro, another technology, or wait for next Gen?
Reply in thread
The only reason I think they might soon if at all is because the Nintendo Switch and the shield have similar SoCs. Tegra X1 with a Maxwell GPU. Well Switch 2 is close enough to release that people are seeing it and the SoC is showing up in benchmarks. Another ARM chip, but with an Ampere GPU this time.
So if NVidia is already building the SoC for Nintendo, it may be reasonably easy to make an upgrade to the Shield.
