What do people think of their hardware in general?

I have some caddies HDD and NVMe. I think their gear is fairly mid. some aspects are quite nice but other aspects is dog water.

Yeah I misunderstood what they said. Thanks for clarifying.

In my country hospitals and the like tend to call with hidden numbers, so it wouldn't work here.

I think this method should be the top answer.

I connect directly to devices without a router most working days for work and this is the method we use because it's simple and effective.

Once in a while I search for communities I might like and subscribe to them. I then only browse my subscribed communities, so I don't have to block communities. I think of it as white listing my Lemmy feed.

Browsing all and then blocking communities I don't like seems like black listing. It seems like it's a lot more work.

I know it's technically correct but it still hurts a little inside to admit it each time.

I know the reason is because giga is an SI prefix but all the way through my education, 1 GB was taught to be 1024 MB, so I always want to use this instead of what is correct.

To be fair, the tech industry has been naughty with things like this. I know of two. I wonder how many others there are?

I believe that:

  • The style of characters a user can choose is called a typeface. I think every piece of software calls it a font. I remember hearing it came from Apple/Steve Jobs.

  • I believe the use of setup is incorrect. Setup is a noun, so it refers to an existing configuration. It tends to be used when running an OS or program for the first time though, which I believe set up is the correct term. Set up is an adjective and refers to the act of creating the configuration.

I've wondered if these were done due to screen space constraints or aesthetics.

I think the only downside to Textra is that it doesn't support RCS - or I don't believe it does. They have a newer app called Chomp SMS that does. I'm still using Textra because the only communication I get on it is from companies.

You're clearly being a troll.

The craft computing guy on YouTube said in a video that he runs at 7-8khw/day at idle. :O

How many times have you been in crash? And if not at all or rarely then why do you believe you'll be in a crash the next time you rent a vehicle?

The way I think about it, if you rent a vehicle frequently or for long enough, you're saving money after about 10-20 days of rentals. The exact number of days depends on the cost of the insurance waiver and excess fee for the rental company you use. So if you use a rental for longer than this number of days, then even if you write off the vehicle and pay the full excess, you will still have more money in your pocket than if you paid the waiver every time.

The key to success is having a keen eye when checking out the car and getting them to put down every mark - even if you have to be a little pushy to get them to do it. Obviously, don't be a wreck less driver. And you should be golden.
