  • I agree with all of the above, except I’d add encryption to the data.

    That way you are not putting your life in their hands, at least until it doesn’t matter / you want the data released. Encryption keys are super lightweight vs data; taken to an unreasonable extreme, a KB could unlock TBs.

    Though you’d probably want something more like a passphrase. Anyway, that basic idea is sound but I dunno about the exact delivery/delay mechanism. Gun to my head and I have seconds to decide… scheduled send from a major cloud email provider, pay way in advance, and an increasing flood of calendar events/reminders up to the day it sends. The message would include enough information about the encryption used and formats within that any tier 1 helpdesk level IT person could access the data.

    Not perfect, but a good enough balance of simple and robust to start with.


  • Google seems to have set their nest protect units to need six lithium AA non-rechargeable cells. Which is 1.8v, not 1.5v. You put in completely fresh batteries verified with a multimeter at above 1.5v (1.58v iirc) and they’ll complain about it.

    I bought lithium rechargeable and they’re 1.5v. Which seems reasonable. I wish all of ‘em would be one standard.

    Feels instead like we have AA-, AA, and AA+.


  • BusyCal as a macOS client and baikal as a server.

    Those two are reliable as can be. BusyCal is a great app with a responsive developer and can connect to virtually anything.

    As to the topic of this post, despite the above, I’m trying to move away from CalDAV and CardDAV, the latter has poor support on most mobile platforms in the way I want to use it. I also am trying to reduce self hosted platforms I maintain, which is currently a high number.



  • Analog@lemmy.mltoAsklemmy@lemmy.mlIs there any hope for me?

    You vastly overestimate the competence of the workforce in general. If you show up on time, work hard, and work to improve over time (don’t expect to be perfect! Just learn from mistakes!) you will be a coveted employee.

    Hopefully this leads to improved feelings of self worth.

    Reminds me of the YouTuber Mat Armstrong w/motto “Hard work beats talent.”

    As others have said, pick a trade. Make bank. Get some friends who value you for you. F everyone else. Not literally lol




  • Yes! I hate this!! There seems to be an industry wide practice of never carrying any product consistently.

    I understand that if something had to be put on clearance even in-season that they’re not going to buy more of it. But surely bringing back best sellers would be profitable?

    Or even providing some mechanism for ordering previously-stocked items online? I don’t need to try it on and will order many units/variations because I already know I love it. Seems like an easy way to make money. Low to no returns too.


  • lol sorry about that. Polyester definitely doesn’t have that effect on me and unlike cotton, 100% polyester is pretty much unaffected by wash + dry cycles.

    Cotton wears out stupidly quick in comparison.

    So when buying off I’m interested i don’t even check sizes, I go straight for material. If it’s less than 70% polyester I won’t even consider buying it.

    The apology is because stores do seem to be shifting towards folks like me. I love it.







  • Didn’t watch, did you?

    Yes, they reported the first hand experience because they can vouch for it completely. But they also have hundreds of people who contacted them - often with evidence - about Asus being dishonest and deceitful.

    In one of those people. I’m glad the word is spreading. Asus RMA really is that bad, too the degree the company just needs to die.
