Man, I rode my bike everywhere as a kid. I could get through 5-6 elementary schools. I could get to the rich kids neighborhood and the ghetto. I could get to 2 different movie theaters. I could get to 6 different great record shops.
My HOA is… fine. It’s like $25 a month, and it includes trash/recycling and common area maintenance. I’ve gotten a few warnings about leaving my trash cans out too long, or some other small violations, and I’ve cursed them for that because I’m obstinate and ornery… but I take care of it, and I don’t actually get a fine.
I miss mixed CDs. You meet someone, you understand their music tastes, and you make them a mix of stuff that you think they’d like, but from your favorite known artists. I made plenty, and ones I received got me into some awesome bands.
I burned CDs just titled “Pink Floyd”, “Beatles” or “Radiohead” with their entire discography of mp3s on it. I really got deep into a lot of bands back then.
I remember downloading the big stuff at work, because they had a T1, and network security wasn’t really a thing yet.
Have you tried explosive diarrhea? You will.
Unless I did a really poor job researching it, you cannot change your default SMS/MMS application on an iPhone.
You can use other messaging apps like Signal, Whatsapp, Telegram, or AIM. But if you want to use SMS, you have to use iMessage.
Maybe this is US-specific though. Europe often forces Apple to do things they don’t do here.
The real reason: Apple intentionally doesn’t support the open protocols that send pics and videos to non-Apple devices. These protocols are a decade old and work great. They use a proprietary protocol instead, which they will not share with other phone manufacturers.
What the average iPhone user thinks: Apple is better than Android!
It’s pretty dumb.
Very overstable.
Several years ago, I found a 3.5" floppy in an old desk, so I wrote “(My company’s product) Production backup - DO NOT LOSE” on the label, and then left it on the floor in a main hallway of our office.
In my mind, it hopefully made a few people chuckle, but my real dream was that someone picked it up and tried to return it to the development team.
People are downvoting you, but you’re correct. I don’t work a particularly sensitive or interesting tech job, but we’ve had 2 candidates in the last year who were faking who/where they were. One had other people in the room feeding them answers. I’d expect weirdness in remote interviews as companies figure out how to navigate this.
Agreed.
My grandparents: Loudly racist
My parents: Quietly racist
Me: Thinking brain logical, but unconscious bias
My kids: Man, my parent is racist.
Good thinking, kid. Get better than me.
Don’t do it. They’ll blame you for every perceived problem they have (most of which will not actually be problem).
It’s expensive to refuse to learn new things.
