I did recently discover you can turn off “Web and App Activity” for your Google account, which seems to disable Google saving most of your data (searches, viewed places, etc), for what that’s worth. It definitely cripples Google maps even more than I think it should, since now I can’t even search for labels I’ve added to Google maps myself.
I’ve been meaning to try Organic Maps as well, but haven’t even gotten around to installing it yet.
The Android TV app isn’t great either. I just cast to the TV from the mobile app, which is still slightly buggy but generally works fine.
I assumed they misunderstood how a 4 1/2 year master’s program works, since the masters part is technically only half a year on paper. But I don’t think that necessarily makes sense in context…
The Adobe photography plan costs me $120 a year, and honestly includes more useful updates than not. Their AI masking upgrades the last couple years are saving me hours to days of editing time per photo session.
$120 a year is worth maybe one hour of my free time. Even just migrating to Darktable would take me weeks or months of dedicated time to migrate my existing catalog.
For a person making $30,000 a year, a $1,000 fine could mean very significant impacts on their daily life.
For a person making $30,000,000 a year, a $1,000,000 fine may mean they can’t afford an extra Ferrari.
For a person “making” $30,000,000,000 a year, a $1,000,000,000 fine may mean they can’t… Buy another island? You still have $29,000,000,000 that you can do who knows what with. This is the entire GDP of some countries. I also don’t know if this one is a realistic example.
Anyway, proportional is nice, but really you need a progressive system to really match the weight of punishments, as far as impacting your daily life or happiness.
Yeah, my infection was 4-5 months after the last booster too, so there’s even a chance I still had a little bit of protection going in. No long term effects thankfully, though exercise was really rough for a month or two afterwards, which really worried me.
The vaccine gave me, at worst, a sore arm for a couple days. The actual infection knocked me completely out for 3 days. I had enough energy to microwave and eat food a couple times a day, and sleep.
6TB SSD, ~90TB HDD (actually ~120, but the rest is parity).
Photo editing storage gets intense when modern cameras are taking lossless RAW images at 20fps. Video editing storage is honestly just insane to begin with.
Games are a few hundred GB on the SSDs
No matter what you drive, it’s still not hard to be better than all the people who stall traffic because they don’t realize they can squeeze through a gap about 4 feet wider than their car so we can actually pre fill the turn lane while the light’s red.
Nor is it hard to actually know to accelerate smoothly through a turn instead of braking through it.
Or to know how to just stay in your clearly marked turn lane during your turn (literally marked through the entire intersection) instead of cutting off the other two turn lanes (this happened to me yesterday).
None of these things are actually much harder to do in a large car than a sports car, just obviously your actual speed and acceleration should change based on your car, tires, and everything else. I use the same principles I use when driving a fun car to help drive safely when it’s a minivan.
Last year a company I wowed at the first interview didn’t follow up. When I asked why, they said that since Facebook was slowing hiring, they were too.
They’re not even related businesses other than both broadly being tech companies.
Already commented on another, but my understanding is that water flossing isn’t as good at removing plaque as actual floss, since it isn’t as directly abrasive. It’s great if you wouldn’t floss normally otherwise, but migrating from flossing regularly to only water flossing regularly is a downgrade in dental hygiene.
I’m pretty sure studies have been done that show it doesn’t have the abrasive power of actual floss, so it’s not as good at removing plaque. Fine at removing solids generally, which helps, but actual floss tends to be better.
I’m very happy with my Garmin Epix (gen 2). It’s got a nice AMOLED screen, which works better for me cause I’m honestly mostly using it indoors, and I don’t really need 50 days battery life or anything like that. 13 days on pretty high settings is plenty for me…
The watch has its own built in GPS antennas, and works fine without a phone during activities, since I saw you should about GPS stuff elsewhere in the comments. I’m pretty sure it needs to sync data to a phone eventually though, for full functionally.
This is probably overkill for you, and you can get one of many much cheaper options from Garmin since all you care about is heart monitoring.
Apple watches are the only ones I know that do the full EKG thing if that’s something you’re interested in, as far as other options. If you already have an iPhone, I’ve only heard good things about the watches too. Pretty sure their adventure watch only really loses to Garmin on battery life.
Ask the experts from help, and learn from them. Don’t ask things you can legitimately learn really easily on your own by just doing a quick read of the code, but the bar for questions to not be stupid is pretty low. In most projects with any complexity, it’s probably overall saving the company money if you ask someone who knows and can save you time, instead of wasting a ton of your time reaching the same conclusion. But next time that problem comes up, you should know how to solve it, so it saves everyone time.
Because I can’t afford 120TB in SSDs…
Y’all left y’uns out of the map
