That assessment highly depends on your region I assume. They are far from 7 day shipping for me. In fact, it's the same 2-3 days as Amazon for non-Prime customers here. Speaking of non-Prime, free shipping is also at 50€.
The limited selection is certainly true but mainly it misses drop shipping stuff and what's essentially a mirror of aliexpress with a huge markup. I don't really miss those. In fact, it requires a considerable amount of time to navigate through those offers on Amazon, so not having them is a plus in my book.
This is certainly true in the beginning of a game. Players claim to do this to warm up. However, in a busy confrontation there is no reason to spam any actions that are not directly contributing towards your endeavor.
If you spam useless actions during a fight, your opponent who does not will best you.
They added insult to injury to the 2.0 upgrade by releasing promo material (supposedly screenshots) [0] that looked exactly like what fans wanted from them. Turned out, those were fake and they quickly removed most of them and what they actually did was a bad AI upscale instead.
According to an help article by Apple [1], if you activate wifi or bluetooth during airplane mode, it will remember that and not disable those when you use airplane mode again.
I was also surprised reading your comment as for my phone wifi and bluetooth stay on during airplane mode. I must've activated them once and then it just stayed like that ever since.
Regarding the primordial black hole:
"Konstantin Batygin commented on this, saying while it is possible for Planet Nine to be a primordial black hole, there is currently not enough evidence to make this idea more plausible than any other alternative."
Regarding planet 9 in general:
"Further skepticism about the Planet Nine hypothesis arose in 2020, based on results from the Outer Solar System Origins Survey and the Dark Energy Survey, with the OSSOS documenting over 800 trans-Neptunian objects and the DES discovering 316 new ones.[94] Both surveys adjusted for observational bias and concluded that of the objects observed there was no evidence for clustering.[95] The authors go further to explain that practically all objects' orbits can be explained by physical phenomena rather than a ninth planet as proposed by Brown and Batygin.[96] An author of one of the studies, Samantha Lawler, said the hypothesis of Planet Nine proposed by Brown and Batygin "does not hold up to detailed observations" pointing out the much larger sample size of 800 objects compared to the much smaller 14 and that conclusive studies based on said objects were "premature". She went further to explain the phenomenon of these extreme orbits could be due to gravitational occultation from Neptune when it migrated outwards earlier in the Solar System's history.[97]"
Also, the latest release is nearly a year old. Is this correct? There have been quite a few commits since then. However, the pipeline seems to be broken and no longer(?) produces binaries.
>- the no ui idea is nice for opening a single file, but then you go to the rabbithole of millions of settings / config to do anything more complicated, playlists? ( why can't I drag and drop on the window )
I cannot relate to that. "ad-hoc" playlists or even adding more files while some are already playing works fine for me on macOS. There's a chance the built-in UI differs between operating systems, not sure.
>- it's hard to compile, so it's up to you to find up to date version on your distro
I consider that hardly the fault of the mpv project. Other than that, there are usually third-party providers for mpv binaries.
I'm a T1 diabetic and get my blood glucose values through my phone, bluetooth even. So disabling bluetooth as mitigation is not an option and the phone is crucial. The vendor doesn't support another or even a secondary device.
How am I supposed to "reacquire a bit of resilience" here?
Your life should not depend on your phone working, because it will fail sometimes — it's consumer grade electronics, not a pacemaker or milspec ruggedized device with a minimal attack service (i.e., no Bluetooth, but a safer alternative).
What do you do when your phone gets stolen or simply breaks? Complain loudly at the very least, and have a backup in place (but I'm sure you do).
(I'm also T1)When my phone (screen) broke, I contacted my hospital and got a separate device (reader), but it took a few weeks. Disabling phone access isn't okay or justifiable in public places. I'm not defending the existence of BT vulnerabilities but what the guy did on the train was dumb and antisocial.
Phones are ubiquitous in every country I've spent a reasonable amount of time so far. If my phone breaks I can just walk into a store and get a new one. The sensor will transfer its connection to the new phone within minutes. So that really is not that big of a deal.
Some edgy liberation fighter DoS'ing my phone, however, is.
Also note that there are people that have such sensors and insulin pumps connected in a feedback loop. I don't personally but this exists. There also exists a small open source scene around that topic. Examples are https://openaps.org/ or https://nightscout.github.io/
> Your life should not depend on your phone working
My life as diabetic depends on many, many variables. Theoretically, all it needs is an incorrectly labeled meal to do serious harm. Or the delivery guy transporting my insulin didn't maintain cooling. I can only do so much and still live a life without constant fear.
While this may sound dangerous to you, this way of measuring your blood glucose is extremely liberating for diabetics. The alternative is just so much worse.
People used to die before some life saving technologies were invented.
People can die these days if their technology fails. They might not have a better alternative because they can't afford it or it hasn't been invented
Teaching someone a lesson or educating society sounds like a line from a villain from a Bond movie. A sociopathic villain. You are making comments that a sociopath would make.
