Okay, I get the idea of smart AC for example - be elsewhere, turn it on remotely so that it’s comfortable when you get home. Fine. But a toilet? You are physically present there, you can push a button to flush. Or are you telling me that you’re shitting remotely now too?

Fair point, but good luck convincing them about it.

I’m not saying “don’t make progress”, I’m saying “try to make progress across the board”.

IMO another example of pushing numbers ahead of what’s actually needed, and benefitting manufacturers way more than the end user. Get this for bragging rights? Sure, you do you. Some server/enterprise niche use case? Maybe. But I’m sure that for 90% of people, including even those with a bit more demanding storage requirements, a PCIe 4 NVMe drive is still plenty in terms of throughput. At the same time SSD prices have been hovering around the same point for the past 3-4-5 years, and there hasn’t been significant development in capacity - 8 TB models are still rare and disproportionately expensive, almost exotic. I personally would be much more excited to see a cool, efficient and reasonably priced 8/16 TB PCIe 4 drive than a pointlessly fast 1/2/4 TB PCIe 5.

Assuming you meant GB/s, not TB/s, I think it’s for the sake of convenience when doing comparisons - there are still SATA SSDs around and in terms of sequential reads and writes those top out at what the interface allows, i.e. 500-550 MB/s.

Somewhat agree, but since Scrum is supposed to be bent to the team’s needs, it might differ from team to team, but it’s fine as long as those numbers are consistently used in one team.

If story points are now hours, I hope you’re fine with me putting a 40 on that ticket.

Windows Mail was IMO perfect for simple mail at home. Now they replaced it with Outlook with slightly updated UI but also with ads.

Guess what - I started looking for alternatives. So far Wino Mail seems pretty good - someone else on here recommended it.

I’d argue that deploying from one codebase to 3+ different platforms is new functionality, although not for the end user per se.

I wish though that more of the web apps would come as no batteries included (by default or at least as a selectable option), i.e. use whatever webview is available on the system instead of shipping another one regardless of if you want it or not.

Meep meep!

Well, over time, you accumulate some judgment about things like that. But you have some point too.

For anything that doesn’t seem entirely obvious I try to leave a comment. It could end up being helpful to me some time later, because let’s face it: your code is indistinguishable from someone else’s code 2 weeks after you commit it.

Laugh tracks have a purpose though. I understand they’re not to everyone’s liking - and that’s fine, but they work for some comedy shows - and usually they’re from the live audience that sees things performed in front of them.

As if someone’s telling a joke and saying “This is where you should laugh”

How do the local backups work? I’m interested in defacing my profile, but still want to preserve some things I find useful.

I agree about the “everything in one place”; besides that, in terms of shopping, there’s not much to it. In terms of services there used to be some pretty neat stuff, e.g. unlimited cloud storage for photos (including RAW files) for something like 50 EUR/year, but of course they axed that.

Plenty of alternatives for everything, just maybe a little less convenient.

In terms of media, I don’t stream from paid services; whatever I pay for is either at local shows where I buy CDs from artists directly, or through label stores, or through outlets like Bandcamp (btw it’s Bandcamp Friday right now until the end of the weekend, go support what you like).

Can’t remember the last time I bought something from there to begin with.

I remember that term. It was short-lived.

You have to also consider that when 5" was big, bezels were big too. With today’s thin bezels the same physical size that used to hold 5" could probably hold 5.5".
