Plus, you can set the speed to 1.5x and catch up to live, if you want.
I guess with all things, depends on the financial position of the customer.
If you're stretching yourself to get any phone, then yeah, diminishing returns for forking out $800+ for a flagship.
That being said I've owned multiple phones in each price category, and can say that the best phones are unfortunately among the most expensive.
Two things:
- see if your power provider offers an "equal pay" plan, where your payments are normalized over 12 months. This provides consistency.
- Budget Budget Budget! Keep track of your monthly income and expenses, and plug this equal pay into it.
Often times your power company will let you do equal pay before having 12 months of usage history.
The one thing is that if you use more than you're paying for, you have to pay the overage at the end of the 12-month cycle, AND your payments increase. So, don't get used to leaving all the lights on!
On the flip side, if you use less, you'll either get a refund or accumulate credits which will lower your next year's payments.
Actually, in 2022 there were 94m barrels produced globally per day. So this is 2%. Statistically, not insignificant. Hopefully it'll continue to grow rapidly.
This might be this earliest IASIP intro gag I've ever seen.
It's the an extension for Google Passwords? It's my password manager for all my devices.
I would love to switch to Firefox, but I don't want to open chrome every time I need a to retrieve/save a password.
My dad had the T-Mobile G1; if I recall, first ever commercial available Android phone!
That was handed down to me after a couple years. It has as much chill factor as it did nerd factor. People laughed and were amazed at the same time. I loved it, lol
I might be mistaken then, but doesn't part of Net Neutrality mean that telecommunication companies can't throttle unlimited plans?
I used the phone app and started a chat. Here's what I asked, and their response:
I just replied this to another commenter, but that's a bad faith argument. The ToS also says to not engage in illegal activity. The admonishment of Nazi's and Racists is an admonishment of illegal evil.
That's a bad faith argument. The ToS also says to not engage in illegal activity. The admonishment of Nazi's and Pedophiles is an admonishment of illegal evil.
Your inclusion of Republicans is a bit of an extreme juxtaposition. Feel free to admonish the individual evil views of Republicans, but to discriminate against Republicans purely for their association is rightly against ToS.
T-Mobile users; be aware that T-Mobile has prepared for this and are trying to automatically transition grandfathered accounts with unlimited everything into their new plans.
I'm not 100% sure if the coverage of the new plans are technically worse, but they're definitely more expensive. And I wouldn't be surprised if the new plans had contact language to do a rug pull in the future.
You need to opt out of the transition.
In my opinion this is actually better than the CoC. The only thing "missing" is the definition of which qualities you shouldn't discriminate against. But that's now generalized into "groups of people".
I still can't discriminate against people based on any qualification. Hell, I technically can't discriminate against "pineapple on pizza eaters".
Is community browsing different than community searching? Because Jerboa has Searching.
I'm still rocking Jerboa on Android. It has been totally inoffensive, and I'll probably just stick with it until it offends me somehow.
As far as I understand;
A user is specific to one instance. In order to interact with the fediverse on that specific account, they need to log into that instance. If they're banned from that instance, they cannot log in and interact with the rest of the fediverse.
There's nothing stopping them from logging into an alt, whether on that same instance or on another instance.
My Pixel 7a nearly has this. The "Power" button by default does:
- Short Press: Sleep/Wake
- Long Press: Assistant
In order to actually get the power menu to pop up, you hold the power button + volume up. You can switch the behavior so that a long press can either be the assistant or the power menu, but otherwise not fully configurable. Feels like that would be an easy win to let us do whatever we want with it.
The word "radiation" has unfortunately been commandeered by idiots to mean "TOXIC MAGIC AIR". Lightbulbs radiate (produce light).
In this case they're 100% just reducing the gain on the phone's signal strength. No harm prevented. Purely regulatory.
Not just straight espresso shots. I drink Lattes and Breves. Typically larges, and truly strong (like 4 shots).
Prices have gone up even, but what I just described costs $8.65 at my local Starbucks. But even the cheaper local shops would charge me like $6 nowadays.
Form me personally, I'd have to say my automated espresso machine. For context; I was buying 1-2 coffees from a shop per day (let's say 10/week on average).
Cost me $700 on a sale. Grinds & presses the beans by itself, then pushes boiling water through to give me espresso shots. It paid for itself in 6 months of ownership by weening me off the local shops, and it's lasted for over 6 years so far.
Instead of ~$4.50 per coffee, it's like $24 for a bulk bag of beans at Costco that lasts me 3 weeks, and a carton of half-and-half that lasts me like a month. That's like $180/mo → $35/mo

My take on a lane balancer, and a 2-belt overflow balancer. These could probably be optimized, but they have proven useful (although a bit unconventional)
So first off, here's my lane balancer. As far as I know this allows 100% throughput (just a bit big).

And here's what I'm calling a 2-Belt Overflow Balancer. It will keep the inputs on their output belt (top stays on top, bottom stays on bottom), and will only actually balance between the two if either are backed up.

And lastly, here's two lane balancers, followed by the overflow balancer:

My (newish) 30-min dial timer for my bathroom lights keeps sticking. I've been told that some silicone based lubricant should be safe to spray into the mechanism. Am I going to burn down my house?
To clarify; I have not yet sprayed anything into the dial mechanism.
This used to be a light switch, but my son kept leaving it on. So I swapped it out for one of these dials about 2 years ago. Now it seems to be getting stuck around the 10-min mark and being left on all day.
I'd prefer not to replace this dial again; the house is old and the wiring in that receptacle was already pretty hard to work with. But I mean I'm not going to burn my house down in an effort to save myself 10 minutes and $10.
Is it safe to use a silicone based spray on it?



Mod Response & Survey Meta Discussion (Mod Approved)
I couldn't figure out how to message the mods (or even individual users) on my app. A space to discuss the survey and your post would be nice.
Edit: Got mod approval to keep this up

Is there anything funky going on with comment replies?
There's a specific comment I'm trying to reply to in the lemmy.world/c/games community, agreeing with how much I love a game they mentioned. But after drafting the message, on mobile it just acts like I haven't pressed the button. On desktop, there's and endless loading circle.
I tried posting the comment before bed, and again this morning, same issue.
I was able to make a top-level comment in another post.
I did post something controversial so maybe they blocked me (although it doesn't look like they commented on my controversial post). But I don't even know if that limits replies.
The only other thing I can think of is they're a kbin.social user.
Does any of this explain why I can't reply? If they did block me, would I expect to see some sort of error message? Or should I expect the endless loading circle?

Some good-faith questions of some seemingly apparent benefits of a potential Corporate Fediverse, and the detriments of defederating from a Corporate Fediverse. Could I get some answers?
Hey guys. I admittedly am mostly a layman to the Fediverse as a concept. So I am coming into this post with the knowledge that I don't understand the technical intricacies of it.
I fully expect that Meta will act in as bad of faith as possible, that is something that I think we all agree on. But from what I understand about the Fediverse, I'm just having a hard time understanding how we would not be shooting ourselves in the foot unless we at least try to federate with Threads.
I am aware of Embrace, Extend and Extinguish.
Here are my understandings of the goals as a non-corporate fediverse:
- We love decentralization
- We love privacy
- We love self-reliance
- We would love to see the non-corporate federation grow
With those understandings, here are my questions:
Doesn't the fediverse have an inherent protection and/or immunity from corporate take-over?
As I mention above, I am aw

Is there a website or app that lets you search for foods (produce or processed), and filter/sort by macros? Eg. "high protein/carbs, low fat"

YSK: Feel like you only see the same 2-day old content? At least on lemmy.world, you can change your homepage's default sorting type & scope to "Hot" and "All"
Sorting Type
On lemmy.world at the very least, posts are sorted by default to "Active". Active will decay posts based on the popularity of its most recent comments. This keeps the most discussed topic on the front of the page, and they'll stay there until people stop talking about it. This also makes it possible that a "dead" thread can get revived if enough people newly discover it & comment on it. This is a very valuable feature, but for us content junkies it may not be your desired default.
Switching to "Hot" will decay posts based only on their age & popularity (not their comment's age & popularity). When filtered to "Hot", you will see a lot newer, less-popular (but more current) content. The decay doesn't seem to be tuned to how a lot of us may be used to - it's more of a "Rising" than our typical "Hot" - but nevertheless it at least gives a constant stream of semi-popular new content.
Sorting Scope
On lemmy.world at the very least, posts are filtered by defau

In Bedrock (PC), is there a way to view mobs through walls with cheats, commands, or mods?
I cannot for the life of me find some mobs that are making sounds around my base. I've stripped mined for like 30 minutes, and I'm over it 😅
I then spent another 15 minutes trying to figure out why the /effect ... glowing
command wasn't working, only to realize that Bedrock doesn't have glowing...
What're my options at this point?

Feature Request: Add a second NSFW Blur toggle, to unblur NSFW posts while browsing a NSFW community

Feature Request; make most background elements in Dark Mode true black. All of my phone's pixels are on even for a black background. Save that battery!

lemmy.world doesn't seem to have many established NSFW communities; they appear to be in separate instances. Is there any benefit to this or anything stopping lemmy.world from having NSFW communities?
This may be more of an "out of the loop" thing, but I'm new to this site and I'm noticing that lemmy.world seems surprisingly bereft of any substantial NSFW content. I'm surprised! Isn't the adage that porn motivates technological progress?
What's even more surprising is that the NSFW instance seems brand spanking new.
Is there some code-of-conduct thing which has prevented NSFW community growth? Or is it just a demographic thing where there wasn't much/any demand until the Reddit exodus?

Lemmy reminds me of WoW realms
Lemmy Instances = Realms
"All" is just one giant cross-realm platform. Just like I'd see [player-realm]
, I see [community@instance]
This platform felt so foreign, but now it has really clicked.
Just a small observation.
