I like Floorp better for a Firefox variant, feels more developed and stable than zen.

No matter how I set it up it gives me suggestions to specific pages I don’t want instead of the base domain.

Some months ago they completely fucked up their address bar suggestions to the point where I have tried again to move to another browser. I’d prefer them to fix that before updating their UI.

Shit like this is why we need strong regulations for anything that is a medical device that is depended on by people. I don’t give a shit if it isn’t profitable anymore, these companies need to support their customers that may be significantly impacted if their devices don’t work.

AI has tons of potential but the final decision should come from a person that evaluates the output for correctness. This is a great example of that.

I don’t think you can cancel an entire country with a couple months notice after you get bored of it.

I wish I could for work. But stupid corporate policy demands otherwise, Google workspace is so shit.

Could be in the galaxy, but it would be safe to assume out of the solar system by quite some distance.

Masayoshi Son’s business acumen is only matched by Elon Musk.

The article more or less covers it. Asian countries without a credit card culture mostly transitioned to QR because it was easy with minimal equipment changes required. Those with widespread credit cards accept tap and QR (e.g. Taiwan widely accepts QR payments, Google pay, Apple pay, credit cards, and transit cards).

Since the western world has been on credit cards for decades that is the solution that is accepted there with QR payments being almost exclusively in businesses that have a customer base from Asian countries. Even then the US is odd compared to other countries since they never really adopted chip and pin.

They actually have the dual USB-A and USB-C key product that is inexplicably missing from the main security key vendors! While I’m not going to replace my perfectly good keys, I was so pissed off when I bought mine and the obvious product was missing from Yubico’s offerings.

That means that over and above whatever debts they have, they think the market values the data their users have given them is worth that much. That said, if Google is only paying then $60M/year for access to that data, they are going to need a lot of customers like that to reach $6.4B valuation.

For corporations it is, “Never attribute to malice what can be explained by greed.”

316L absolutely can corrode. Add a bit of acid in the water and it will start showing rust soon enough. Typically you can find chemical compatibility charts for various metal grades to see what does and doesn’t work with a metal.

Even though results have gotten worse, every time I’ve tried another search engine the results have been even worse than Google.

On one hand we are already at a point where most people don’t need any more computing power than their phone has. At the same time, for the people that game or need the most performance you are limited by how much size you need for the cooling solution and i don’t see that changing significantly anytime soon.

You just have to go for it and figure it out. I just used it for planning a vacation and found it quite useful and nicer than other options I have used before.

Asianometry has an interesting video on the rise and fall of Daewoo that is definitely an interesting example on how not to run a business.

Just an English transliteration of part of their Chinese name “hǎi kāng wēi shì”

Yes, It is typically pronounced “hike-vision” though.
