SMS is a proven standard that works reliably.
lol
I tried RCS twice, in both cases the other end did not receive my message or at a later time.
This is not indicative of how well RCS will work as its widespread adoption continues to mature. I do understand your frustration; I just would expect the growing pains to last much longer. Remember how shitty USB C was for the first few years?
Apple forked WebKit from KDE back in 2001. For all intents and purposes, they didn’t switch to it; they developed it.
Counterpoint: SMS shouldn’t exist, and RCS is our best shot at replacing it right now
arm still needs a custom kernel and conpletely different drivers to even boot, because every manifacturer can implement it completely differently.
Dunno why you’re getting downvoted, this is correct. ARM makes comparatively very expensive to maintain an OS over a variety of CPU models. The specialization required by each Cortex revision (and beyond that, each manufacturer adaptation) is too intense for a world trying to conserve resources.
x86 hardware is standardized in a way where you don’t need to port an os to them, it just runs with generic drivers.
That being said, I’m honestly shocked your friend doesn’t run into issues. Several ISA extensions have been released for x86 since the Core 2 Duo days, and I have to imagine software incompatibilities appear semi-frequently. Running Windows 10 on that can’t be a good experience.
If there was an option that was presented to users once the device got below 80% battery health to slow down the system to make daily batter life longer
This isn’t why they did it. Degraded Li-ion batteries cannot sustain their rated voltage at high currents due to increased internal resistance. Sufficiently undervolted CPUs/memory cells produce errors (specifically bit flips), which can rather quickly lead to memory corruption and a crash.
Reducing the CPU frequency (thereby reducing the peak current draw) is practically necessary in the face of a degraded battery. Various laptops were infamous for not doing this, because it resulted in a ~20-30 minute battery life, as the voltage drop became too great once the battery charge drops below 80-90%. Within the context of a smartphone, neglecting to use the remaining 80-90% would make it basically useless.
What Apple (and the rest of the smartphone industry, at this point) really needs to do is make their batteries replaceable.
Can you evaluate the directory tree of a tar without decompressing? Not sure if gzip/bzip2 preserve that.
Or they’re interpreting the law as written without context so they can get home by lunch, just like every other originalist.
Until Cloudflare responds to the post, it is IMO most beneficial to assume that the OP is being truthful and forthright. Doing so puts pressure on Cloudflare to either clarify or rectify the situation, whereas treating Cloudflare as though they are above suspicion accomplishes nothing.
After all, OP is very much the little guy here.
Not if you plan to rape the corpse, which this person apparently did.
Well, sure, the other half of the joke is that the speaker is a literal psychopath, thus the Patrick Bateman. You don’t start reading a meme expecting it to be psychopathic.
Also, I’m not sure you could call that the “plan” considering there was a 50% chance the speaker would have been dead at the end of the game.
Sorry, that’s not an explanation, that’s a new joke.
I’m pretty sure it is. Feel free to explain why it isn’t, and I’ll respond to that,
And the way you “play” russian roulette is as a torture method with a prisoner. That’s where it comes from, and there is no established way to “play”
Where are you getting this from? I have found absolutely no evidence to support this, and lots of evidence to the contrary. By all accounts, you take turns holding the revolver up to your own head of your own free will.
If you think the players take turns shooting at each other, that seems to be a particular variant called Russian poker, and it’s depiction in media is relatively uncommon in my experience.
it treats the woman as a prop on so many levels
Yes, I don’t think anyone disagrees with you here. IMO, the rule of thumb is, “Would it be equally funny if the genders were swapped?”, and IMO, the answer is “yes” in this case, because the joke doesn’t rely on sexism.
The woman in this story has no agency whatsoever
Except for agreeing to play Russian roulette. Surely both parties were aware of the odds of their demise.
even when she’s offering sex in the setup it’s just a weird incel fantasy that would never happen.
And now we’ve arrived at the cringiest part of the meme. It’s a pretty lame setup that indeed relies on dialogue that would never happen IRL. I guess that’s why it’s a !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world.
Edit: on second thought, I have officially spent too much time dissecting this mid-tier garbage, and unless you can accept the fact that you misunderstood the premise of Russian roulette, I won’t be continuing this conversation.
The core of the joke is that Russian roulette is a terrible game to play if you intend to do anything after it.
he killed her
That’s not how you play Russian roulette, btw
By “outside agitators” they mean people who aren’t affiliated with the university. I can’t speak for Columbia specifically, but I wouldn’t characterize the non-university-affiliated protestors that were at my university as “agitators” any more than the university-affiliated protestors were.
“I feel more masculine in the summertime. I wear more masculine clothing, I wear shorts. I normally have my hair up more and I just feel more ‘boy’, whereas in the winter – for some reason – girl mode comes out and I’m loving skirts and dresses and having my hair down.”
This is from a video that the Fox story is about. Fox totally missed the point, I’m guessing intentionally so.
But can we talk about that statement for a second? (I’m leftist af and I strongly believe trans people should be able to do whatever the fuck they want, just like everybody else; this has nothing to do with that.) I’m having a hard time accepting this statement.
I would obviously never support the misogynistic belief that women should (only) wear skirts/dresses. But as it turns out, the idea that dresses and long hair are inherently feminine (or that shorts and short hair are inherently masculine) also makes me uncomfortable. I recognize that a lot of people see it that way, but I don’t think that makes it right, or a belief that should continue to propagate.
I’m a dude, and I hope to see a day where I can grow out my hair and wear a dress without people assuming it means anything about me beyond that I like dresses and long hair.
(Please let me know if this is insensitive and I will remove my comment. I’m not interested in starting an unproductive or hateful discussion here)
I doubt that. Paper losses are not an indicator of profitability.
Did you respond to the right comment? I was trying to say that instructing new/novice users to disable snap updates is probably a bad idea.
Does anyone genuinely prefer Windows for a reason that makes sense? Or are they just a captive audience?
unless you completely disable [snap updates], which is hardly trivial for a new user
Tbh it probably shouldn’t be trivial for new users to disable updates. I’ve seen way too many Windows/macOS users running a years out-of-date version of Chrome.
Turns out IBM is three hot messes in a trenchcoat and always has been.
International, business, and machines?
Most varieties of stone (cobble, concrete, brick, etc.) are very expensive, especially in comparison to lumber in places where tree farms are plentiful.
Also, idk if you’ve seen a modern wood house, but they’re practically hollow, save for fiberglass insulation. They use far less material than stone buildings.
