Same here in UK honestly - it’s that or the hazards, they both send the same message :)
I’ve personally observed that drivers of big trucks tend to do the indicator thing, while most people in cars do the hazards. Not sure if there’s a specific trucker reason for that divide! Possibly it’s less easy to reach the hazards in a truck but I don’t know, that’s just a guess!
Weird. You’d think Canadians at least would have a way to say sorry ;P
Here in the UK, turning on your hazards for a couple of flashes means either “Thank you” or “sorry” to the car following, depending on context.
Someone let you merge in? "Thank you!*
You cut someone off? “Sorry!”
It’s the microwave radiation from phones that makes your butt fat, obviously!
Literally the only sane way to run Windows is fully offline
The other possibility is that Valve made a public announcement only very shortly after confirming that memory price surges would affect final pricing.
Which would actually be very transparent of them.
Such bad timing for Valve. They seemed to be doing everything right with the Steam Machine and Frame, and now memory is going to price that hardware right out of the range it was surely hoping to make a splash in.
Your mindless distractions are only authorized to be subscription-based from now on, citizen.
As if it was ever really about mileage, rather than pure aesthetics at the cost of any functional consideration.
There’s a reason door handles remained fundamentally unchanged for such a long time, and that’s because we already had it nailed.
Sadly, yes.
What it comes down to is that any product or service with a profit incentive will inevitably betray you, no matter how good or how well-intentioned it started out.
Our only saviour is open source, self hosting, and federation.
It’s why ownership rather than rental is the model we should all individually be pursuing.
I recently did the same and sorted my cable clutter. What a drag!
Personally I don’t blame USB-C as a standard - despite how everyone seems to dump on it constantly. I consider it mainly a problem of unverified marketplaces.
Anyone can sell anything on Amazon or eBay claiming to be something it isn’t, and cables are rife in this group specifically because it’s almost impossible for the average consumer to verify the claims. So of course unscrupulous sellers mercilessly exploit this to sell absolute crap posing as something quality.
Sounds weird, but these days I am increasingly buying a surprising amount of my electrical and electronic stuff from IKEA.
IKEA sell their own products (or in the case of electronics, likely have them manufactured directly for them to a known spec) and so they have a lot more control on the supply chain. They also have more to lose if their products don’t perform as expected, because they have direct responsibility.
So yeah, if I want an extension lead that won’t burn my house down or a cable I can trust to do what it should, I’m finding IKEA a safe bet.
Absolutely.
This just means “We pushed our crap too fast and people noticed, so we’re letting things cool off slightly to quiet down the critics, and next time we’ll boil the frog more slowly.”
It’s Star Trek.
It’s perhaps not the best Trek, and depending who you ask it may not be the worst.
But if you like one Star Trek show, you may as well give the others a shot.
The same era where Amazon would send questions about a product to other people who bought it, and they’d respond like “I don’t know that, it was a gift for my granddaughter” and it gets published on the site as an ‘answer’
Car must be their name. Car the cat. Maybe short for Carl.
What Mister Manager here actually means here however is that he wants his subordinates to spend countless hours compiling and collating endless monthly reports for him which he will not read, or ignore even if he does read.
It’s a good question, because when you think about it, surgery is a combination of carefully controlled intentional injury, and repair of that injury.
Then again, it could be surprisingly good like the Fallout TV series.
But I wouldn’t count on it.
