A lot of us still have old plans with free upgrades. Some great grandfathered T-Mobile and sprint plans out there.

Can even maximize gains by buying a used low end phone for the trade in and sell the old iPhone on eBay.

Damn and here I was trying to think of what counted as 80s talk and that made perfect sense to me.

Report them to the department of labor. They owe you pay and if they did it to you they’re doing it to others too.

Yeah fixing that one problem isn’t an issue. It’s that the fix probably affects some other service. When you’re dealing with a bunch of integrated systems, some of which are over a decade old, bugs aren’t just fixing a few lines of code in your part and calling it good.

I’m sure it can be useful for smaller self contained projects. A lot cheaper and easier to review the AIs changes on those too.

For my projects, finding the cause of a bug is rarely a problem once it’s reported. It’s fixing it in a way that doesn’t negatively impact things upstream or downstream that’s a pain.

How’s AI supposed to help when we’ve got to negotiate with several other stakeholders on what changes we’re going to make?

It already has ads. Those businesses it highlights for no reason at all when you’re scrolling around.

We don’t have IBAN. Worse, we have routing and account numbers that CAN be used for an ACH transfer but many banks are disabling this functionality on personal accounts because people kept falling for scams.

Attractive or actually want to date? I’m guessing porn stars are all around that age, but I have trouble believing the average 40 year old guy wants to date a 20 year old. Or maybe they only quizzed the older guys who like to hang out in bars?

I’m over 40 and imagine even 10 years younger would be hard to deal with.

Epic makes tons of money off licensing Unreal to developers and have since before their store was a thing.

Proton makes direct zero profit, though it does make Steam the best store for anyone on Linux.

The last one is a significant concern. Huge trucks and SUVs are so prevalent and they're so big it seems like the drivers aren't as aware of their surroundings. I'd love to see us move to taxing based on vehicle weight/mileage since it's the true measure of how much wear a vehicle puts on the roads. You want that insane Hummer EV? You're paying 20x what the guy in a Civic is paying.

I don’t even trust Id.me. If the government needs to securely identify someone they should be setting it up themselves instead of us trusting some random company that used to provide coupons to soldiers.

Adding to my list of things to teach them:

Don’t open strange links someone posts as a reply

After how many felony charges were dropped in LA from police falsifying testimony, I'd have to see a full recording of him throwing a rock and hitting the cop to believe they had the right guy and the pictures weren't unrelated.

Speaking for the US, major universities may be there for research, but they are a small portion of the mass of schools across the country.

People have mostly been getting degrees to get a good job since at least shortly after WW2. It’s silly to pretend people are going massively in debt without the expectation of a return on that investment.

Nothing against people learning for the joy of learning, but I absolutely hold schools accountable for not making job prospects clear when most of the students are both young and ignorant of the world.

Did you see another video about this? The one linked only showed the walls and still showed them doing interior framing. Nothing about windows, electrical, plumbing, insulation, etc.

What they showed could speed up construction but there are tons of other steps involved.

I do wonder how sturdy it is since it doesn’t look like rebar or anything else is added.

Because if you don’t want to be at all accurate then don’t pretend it’s historic. Call it fantasy. Easy.

No one calls out game of thrones for being unrealistic - instead we call out dumb writing.

Inigo in Skyrim. Fully voiced follower who is funnier, more interesting and more authentic than any companion I’ve had in the last decade of games.

If you pay for them via Openrouter or something then you’ve got an enormous window to work with. Gets more and more expensive as the history increases though.

Used out of warranty Tesla are cheap for a reason. More expensive insurance and repairs.

Does the man only use curl machines? He clearly does some kind of workouts but the clip make it look like he doesn't know how to hold dumbbells.
