I had one professor that couldn't comprehend why so few students had bought the book for day 1 of class. He was shocked to learn that other professors would require a book and never actually use it.

Another one actually checked for the book at the beginning of the semester as a graded assignment and proceeded to never mention it again. When a girl asked about it mid-semster, he said it was "supplemental reading" we were supposed to do on our own time. She went off on his ass, reminding him the book cost $300 and all that.

"I win the bet"

An "expert" could be anyone who convinces someone else to pay them. The "expert" is probably the one that ran it through the chatbot.

sigh another alchemy experiment gone wrong.

*consumer ram. Micron wants to sell it all the AI bros not us.

The worst is the heavily compressed photo "scans" of the paper menu.

Nah, RFK Jr goes next to child size casket advertising

Some people have to budget how much gas they can fill at once. Maybe the budget allows for $30 a week, so they stop at $30, or in OP's case something random like $28.73.

Alternatively, if you prepay at the counter, instead of handing them an even $30, you could hand them $29.39

And the fix is a firmware update not a total recall? So its either buggy overcomplicated software or the update tweaked things to reduce the power draw so you got less machine power than what you were advertised.

Which honestly for a washer machine is pretty cool they can fix that sort of issue without the hassle of replacing the big machine, but if only these kinds of major safety issues could be figured out in pre-production.

 

The solution is Settings -> Account preferences -> Show read posts?

Thanks fujiwood@lemmy.world


I've posted a few time, but the post list always remains empty for some reason.

I can see other people posts on their profiles.

 

Basically looking a calandar that stays on the deaktop, and can show events (Otherwise I'd just use a wallpaper). I don't need much interaction with it, if any, essentially just open the actaul calandar program. Sync with iCal is a big plus.

While FOSS is ideal, I'm open to anything free (that can be firewalled or is actually private (unlikely, I know))

I found one that used windows 7 widgets, but it was too small and didn't seem to work right anyways.

Android Tablets (lemmy.world)

Does anyone have good experience with android tablets, and possibly replacing the OS? I see some interesting options from Google, lenovo, one plus, etc... I imagine the pixel one will be the easiest to load a new OS to, but I also wonder about the tablet support of things like lineage or graphine.

The hardware doesn't have to be groundbreaking, just good enough to be my "travel laptop" for movies, comics and general interneting. I don't want a laptop, as I often like to sit in chair/bed to read comics or watch movies and a keyboard would make that awkward.

One of my main concerns is the update support - my iPad has been getting updates since 2017, a lot of the android manufactures are promising a pathetic 3 to 5 years. I don't want to be "software bricked" in 5 years (I.e apps eventually requiring an Android version I cannot update to)
