The other thing is that the monthly investment amount should increase when income does, which at minimum should match inflation.

I had a shitty white Kia Rio that I wrote off in a snowstorm. I borrowed my dad’s car to drive while I looked for a replacement I could afford, and after a few weeks my insurance said ‘we paid you the coverage. If you don’t put a new car on your policy, we’ll cancel it.’ ok, fine. I put my old junker (car before the Rio) on it - wasn’t even road worthy, but I had accident forgiveness on this policy and if I had to start over I’d get higher premiums.

I found a car a week later. Called the broker to switch the policy.

'we can’t remove this car from the policy unless we contact your bank first ’

What.

They claimed because I had bought my Rio with a bank loan that they couldn’t remove my junker without permission from the bank.

I argued with this person politely for 10 minutes, pointing out that I’d paid the car off 2 years prior. They said ‘well I’ll need to check with the underwriter then.’ fine. I get a call back 30m later, same person. ‘no, we need permission from the bank according to the underwriter.’

This pissed me off because I knew I was being lied to. “Now I know you’re lying to me. I have the cheque from the underwriter cashed in my account. They would not have issued it to me if there was any issue with the bank. I am not a customer of that bank, have not been for 2 years.”

‘well sir, I need to confirm that with the bank’

“If you contact the bank in reference to me in any way, shape, or form, I will sue you for breach of privacy and file complaints with every government office that I can. DO NOT CALL THE BANK. SWITCH IN THE NEW CAR.”

They refused. I called back 2 hours later, got someone else. Told them I needed the new car switched in.

They did it, and a week later I filed a written complaint to the broker about the other rep, firmly underscoring the lying.

No idea if it was related or not, but the branch got downsized away less than a year later.

Anyway, fuck insurance companies.

There is slightly more openness to androids layers than the win32 layers as well.

I still remember symlinking to binaries in my windows system folder back in the late 90s to be able to run office 95 under Linux. (The MSFT system files permitted some things to work properly that just didn’t with the wine provided libraries back then)

Isn’t that already a case for the police or FBI or something?

Yes

I do exactly this, and use Keepass2Android on my phone and have nextcloud-KeeWeb installed.

Tangentally related - For anyone looking to take over a project, KeeWeb is looking for a new maintainer!

Tell them that the south has renounced the pope. That’ll do it without further complications.

You can use version numbers, but it’s on you to change them when new point releases drop.

I guess it’s a good thing the Debian releases all have version numbers then.

It’s good for bragging rights, but a u2955 Celeron Chromebook is better value for money.

I duct taped a RPi4 to the back of a Motorola Lapdock and used custom cables to make the combo into the worst laptop ever. If yours counts, mine does too. This is what the Lapdock looks like:

I’ve got a 500mhz Celeron from the P3 days, it runs OS/2 and has an ISA EPROM burner card in it.

Yes, the crime of giving them a stable OS that once it is set up keeps working reliably for years to come.

Whelp, time to post this, I suppose.

The original Rosetta, which was emulating PPC on x86 is directly comparable to the situation of PS3-game-on-PS4 hardware. I was able to play Halo CE for Mac on x86 with Rosetta and it felt native.

The point is that this isn’t a limitation of technology, this was a decision on Sony’s part.

Xbox One plays a number of 360 games fine.

Apple used QuickTransit for their PPC apps on Intel migration to great success.

I guess Sony just didn’t want to pay the emulator tax?

My last year of uni I was broke. The previous year the parking passes had red letters, that year purple. That was the only difference. The colour. I traced over all the letters of my previous parking pass with a blue sharpie and parked for free all year.

I don’t think butt-stuff really comes into it.

? That’s usually a reference to British soldiers especially during the musket era. What’s it mean here?

Looks like mobile auto formatting to me. G after a period, N is from a name, g ends with a ? but no space afterwards, so it doesn’t auto capitalize.
