Say it again, friend.

A poor joke, at best. But that’s on brand for you, eh?

I don’t think sms will go away, that ping is fundamental to GSM & LTE so far as I can tell.

You may need an app that explicitly taps into the sms feature though

That’s what the article theoretically exemplifies, avoiding emission in the first place is the best bet.

I saw the same when I lived in OC. It’s pretty lively up here in Seattle too.

I’d like for them to also get a quick, sharp kick to the nads. Just make sure to explain why they’re being punished during or immediately after, otherwise the training isn’t effective.

Yup, 100% a piece of shit. That black stuff running down his empty skull a few years back? Haha shoe polish!!.. No friend, that was what simulates a brain in his decrepit shitbag body, leaking.

If they’re ok with the resulting technical shortfalls, cool. Another company degrades back into the mire of mediocrity.

I really like these ideas. I’ll think about something like this while I’m working, maybe do a bit of reading at lunch.

How much data could an amiibo have that a CC wouldn’t?

Wish that were supported in US. Thanks anyway.

Thanks, I actually use this for my Ikea cards etc. Great for static barcodes etc, doesn’t support NFC though. Thanks anyhow.

Ah see, this is the kind of seemingly arcane ideation I’m looking for… maybe there’s an analog on Android.

Figured as much, just thought I’d ask. What about for other things like gym passes?

Spot on. What a terrible thing our company incentives have devolved into.

I was a long-time Xubuntu fan, tried Ubuntu directly from canonical for my new laptop.

It’s been a bit rocky, all things considered. I think I’m trying something else next time, maybe mint or whatever. Maybe Xubuntu, but only if this snap shit has been cut out.

Yeah, it sounds like Qualcomm is driving straight at a cliff’s edge in terms of their reputation…

I really can’t imagine this going well for Qualcomm, if the article is true.

It smells like there’s a lot of smoke around their implementation of the benchmarks, and consumers will immediately discover the fire when the time arrives and devices are in-hand.

Not knocking your choices, just to be clear. I do in fact like keeping up with entertainment and arts, can’t really get concerts, symphonies and plays out in the hills. For me and many others, cities are great. There are places that are still nestled in the hills with small town vibes in soCal, check out Silverado canyon as an example.

I camp when I want to reconnect to nature, and ride my bicycle all over the place. Cities can be very beautiful in their own right, though I admittedly have an engineer’s bias when viewing.

I’m very much not a desert person, but the scale of the inland valley, the quiet beauty of Joshua tree, etc… Moved from socal, but there was a lot of beauty that doesn’t call you to it loudly, you just suddenly notice and enjoy it.

Joshua tree looks like a bunch of rocky hills… Till you notice they’re all rounded and stacked perfectly. You notice how arid it is, and then notice green leaves in spite of that.

If you’re observant, there’s beauty everywhere natural.

I’m enjoying the hell out of just my commute here in Seattle, on a motorcycle in the rain.

Mt Rainier is unbelievable, the way it looms.
