That’s just called malware

I’m much younger than you think I am

Three or four years at this point, so technically not including some of the ridiculous inflation, but the cost of living in that area has barely increased. Rent is $900 on average there right now, so if you’re pulling in 25 an hour you’re making plenty to live alone relatively comfortably

Yes. When I lived out there I would’ve killed for 25 an hour. I was making 7.50 an hour and with a roommate I lived pretty okay. At 25 I could’ve lived alone and still saved

I was slightly exaggerating sure, but 25 an hour outside of a city is a lot of money.

Define “the US” because 25 an hour is living a life of luxury in much of the US that’s not a major city

Customers get charged for maintenance between the ISP and their house

They really don’t, customers get charged what they need to be charged to support the network, not just the last mile to your house. Companies don’t get internet connectivity for free, either, paying significantly more than consumers at every turn

That’s… why they charge customers fees

I’ve found it great for tracking down specific things in libraries and databases I’m not terribly familiar with when I don’t know the exact term for them

Tests and QA don’t catch everything. From what I can tell this affects a small percent of users, so it’s very likely that it slipped through any testing that was done if that’s the case

Or it was just a bug. You know, the thing that happens literally all the time in every codebase in the world

Not necessarily, but also government spends an inordinate amount of money on extra processes and moves much slower, which could naturally lead to fewer accidents because they’re just doing less, and also the government outsources quite a lot of labor which could include the more accident-prone aspects

These numbers mean nothing without a reference to compare with other similar industries. The article does include a number from other rocket manufacturers(?), though I’d be curious to see how it compares to other private companies, not, like, nasa, haha

They’ll release a second one, but never a third. It’s what they do

My roommate drops his Fold almost daily onto hardwood and tile since he got it a year or two ago. It hasn’t broken once. I’m honestly astonished

I used mine to help put on my license plates in the dark. I get a surprising amount of use out of the ability to fold the screen to point the flashlight wherever

Finally I can buy one

I’ve been holding off on getting a steam deck since I wanted to get their second version rather than being a beta tester for the first

I’m not really certain what value nebula provides other than some creators uploading occasional content exclusively on nebula. Without nebula they’d just… Upload it to YouTube, which is free, so I’m not sure what the difference is

So it’s not Firefox

Oh sure I’m not a huge fan of the GPU shortages, though very few crypto things need them anymore

a solution for a non-existing problem

Depends entirely on where you live and if you trust your government, but yes the USA and most Europen countries are fine in general. I personally just prefer anything that can be decentralized. That’s why I’m on Lemmy, after all, haha
