I had to reboot my laptop only once since 02-20. Similar the month before that. The only exception was around mid January. So this shouldn’t be much worse on average even now.
That’s completely on your IT. There was only 1 single day with patches released: March 10. There was only 1 in the month to that date: February 10.
My guess is that the shit ton of only-for-legal-reasons-useful “security” and surveillance programs demand way more restarts. My company laptop and VM are similar.
Or it’s good for customers and bad for restaurants. There are such things, and menu can be easily one. Especially tourist focused restaurants infested with such tactics, and you can avoid most of them just looking on their menu.
Yeah that context matters significantly. What’s the turnover rate for restaurants in your area? What’s the variance in menu? “Success” in my neck of the woods is staying open more than 2 years, and menu availability plays a significant role.
Doubt still creeps in? The entire purpose of the Judiciary branch across all governments that possess one is the interpretation of legal documents. It’s one of the greatest sources of uncertainty in human governance.
Doesn’t Sony have the best codec on Bluetooth? It definitely has worse noise cancellation than my AirPod, but afaik it should have better audio quality on paper.
Yeah, but if you're using Apple phones/tablet/computers they only support AAC Bluetooth anyway unless you add a Bluetooth dongle, which kinda defeats the purpose of ever using Airpods.
What does “down” and “stationary” mean? I put my Sony to random paces, mainly just throwing it into my backpack. Would that be considered as down and stationary? Would it be turned off if I’m on the move? In a car? On a bus?
I mean, I regularly leave them on a shelf in my apartment and they apparently do not consider that "down" or "stationary" enough to not just drain the battery completely. Truly a bafflingly bad design from the company that is (was) known for great hardware design.
This isn't bad design, it's a bug the vast majority of us don't seem to experience. Try the suggestions people have offered to reset them, it should fix the issue.
Do they? I’ve never got a response that something was impossible, or stupid. LLMs are happy to verify that a noop does nothing, if they don’t know how to fix something. They rather make something useless than really tackle a problem, if they can make tests green that way, or they can claim that something “works”.
And’ve I never asked Claude Code something which is really impossible, or even really difficult.
Claude code will happily tell me my ideas are stupid, but I think that's because I nest my ideas in between other alternative ideas and ask for an evaluation of all of them. This effectively combats the sycophantic tendencies.
Still, sometimes claude will tell me off even when I don't give it alternatives. Last night I told it to use luasocket from an mpv userscript to connect to a zeromq Unix socket (and also implement zmq in pure lua) connected to an ffmpeg zmq filter to change filter parameters on the fly. Claude code all but called me stupid and told me to just reload the filter graph through normal mpv means when I make a change. Which was a good call, but I told it to do the thing anyway and it ended up working well, so what does it really know... Anyway, I like that it pushes back, but agrees to commit when I insist.
I've definitely had pushback on what to do or approaches, yes. I've had this more recently because I've been pushing more on a side of "I want to know if this would end up being fast enough / allow something that it'd be worth doing". I've had to argue harder for something recently, and I'm genuinely not sure if it is possible or not. While it's not flat out refused to do it, it's explained to me why it won't work, and taken some pushing to implement parts of it. My gut feeling is that the blockers it is describing are real but we can sidestep them by taking a wilder swing at the change, but I'm not sure I'm right.
We've seen something similar in the past decades: outsourcing. And it worked completely differently how it was envisioned a few decades ago, at least in the field of software development. So let's wait what happens. Some kind of backlash has been already started in the past months.
I think it was covered during a discussion about immigrants that are easily rejected - because they're immigrants.
The points was that it added another layer of issues for immigrants because they didn't understand the neighbourhood they "should be living in" with their revenue.
Why is this not the “shit people do shit things” category? This happens even without being immigrants. Large part of my family lives in a way poorer neighborhood than what we can afford, because we don’t care to move. People who have problem with this had other problems even before we got richer. There is exactly zero difference. The exact same people are snark as before, just for something else now. They were and would be snark even without this.
This seems to me a very bad attempt to hide xenophobia.
It seems that the same metric is about a magnitude worse than before.
