Long term sustainability is going to be challenging. The Lemmy userbase is way smaller than reddit’s regardless, and for 3.50 EUR one-off it will be challenging to cover future development efforts.

Surprised there’s no litter box.

I’m happy with OnePlus. Will never touch an Apple device, they are so unintuitive and locked down. If android follows that trend, I’d rather have no phone.

Samsung phones are so full of bloatware, I’ll never buy them again.

Worthless =/= insolvent.

The value is determined based on a shareholder valuation, insolvent means having a negative cashflow and depleted reserves.

You can technically run a stock absolutely into the ground if everyone would place sell orders at market (i.e. without limit) and the only buyers would offer 1 cent.

That changes nothing about the profitability of the company though.

And while this is a very hypothetical scenario for a listed company, for an unlisted one you can freely adjust your list price. If he were to sell 1% for $1 to his neighbor, the company valuation would be down to 100 bucks.

Huh, that might get me to try mastodon again. The browser experience used to be crap.

Linux loves dual boot, windows is the problem and always has been. But as long as you install windows first and Linux second, there’s no problem whatsoever, the installer detects your installation and automatically adds multiboot. Installing windows after Linux means that you will have to restore the bootloader.

Yes, you can browse any instance and then from there also all local communities.

https://imgur.com/a/5J6gDGg I selected one at random I didn’t know exist from a long list (no idea how sorting works though) and then displayed a list of communities in the second screenshot. You can see on the text in the background that it shows the instance as “a remote instance”, i.e. not the one where you are registered.

The “multireddit” feature has been on the request list on github for quite a while, but yeah the “browse as local” feature is live and mostly working on the internal test release. Some small things are being ironed out and then it should be released to the public soon, I’d say it’s 99% there.

I’m using Genius Scan+ on my phone and bought the cloud backup option for like $3 one-off, that enables automated exports to dropbox, google drive and a bunch of other services. Every document I receive is scanned and adequately named right away, and then automatically exported to both google drive and dropbox.

The dropbox client then again runs on my laptop and desktop and automatically syncs new files to the local folders, so I have the original scan on my phone plus two cloud backups and the local copies of the cloud backups on another two devices.

The original documents are kept in physical folders, neatly stored at home.

In case the important document is a digital copy only, I will export it from my mailbox directly to the dropbox & google drive, so it’s the same as above minus the copy on my phone. Depending on how important it is, I might also print a copy for safekeeping and/or forward it to a secondary email should I ever lose access to my primary.

Oh sorry forgot to mention the drivers. In my experience this is not true at all. People who have drivers are usually senior executives, and they’d have company cars. Typically some top of the line Mercedes or BMW, sometimes a Porsche SUV. Electric cars (even the fancier ones) are rather affordable, and people here are very focused on their external impression.

Ah, what he mentioned were e-bikes, but those are not really on the fancy side. Search for 饿了么 scooter or 美团 scooter. They do food and grocery deliveries mostly. For private use, Niu scooters are the most popular in terms of design, but a ton of cheap stuff exists. Couldn’t tell you about the brands, they are all very generic.

Electric motorbikes exist, but require a special license and are banned in most downtown areas, so they aren’t really common. One brand I’m aware of is called Dayi Motors, they recently got certified for the European market, so chances are that those would become available elsewhere as well.

Not the OP, but I live in China.

Check out for example the Xpeng (Xiao Peng) G6 and P7, the Qiantu K50, Zeekr 009, Lynk & Co. 03, Aiways U5 and the Dongfeng Mengshi M-Hero 917 (now if that’s not HALO inspired, I don’t know…).

Will do, thanks for the encouragement :-)

Cunts gonna cunt.

The new intern?

I’m sure they wanted it back, I’m just saying that disposing of prototypes is not as outlandish as it generally sounds.

How people in the security sector operate without 2FA with dedicated apps is totally beyond me.

Wow, they started inventorizing products after only 17 years in operations. Highly efficient!

It’s not that unusual. I work in the medical device industry and we need to do quite some testing with early prototypes for all sorts of stuff like biocompatibility, cytotoxicity, hemocompatibility as well as pressure tests, drop tests, leakage testing and whatnot. Each and every one of those prototypes is hand made and therefore the “only one”.

Even if they pass one test with flying colors and no visible damages, we couldn’t use them in another test because they need to be factory new to satisfy regulatory protocols.

Normally we don’t ask for those back, we are more interested in the ones that failed a particular test.

Now we wouldn’t want our prototypes to be auctioned off, naturally, so the test centers we work with have to ensure they’ll be destroyed (we have contracts and NDAs in place). But not wanting a prototype back after a third party played around with it is way more common than you think.
