What about drive-thru liquor stores!

They are available now. This was in WaMart

Some of them even plug in!

But yes, kettles and toasters take forever.

Years ago. Google changes the ways to sign in more frequently. 2FA messages, authenticator, then confirming sign-in on a separate device, which now seems to have been standardized as passkeys.

I’m that case I’m making “Swift 2032” bumper stickers now, get in the game early.

So many health benefits, “mental wellness” programs, etc. are ultimately all about “affecting you ability to work”.

I get a free joint-pain exercise program. Every so often, the app asks me a survey which is all about “how many days did you joint pain prevent you from working”, “do you expect your pain to cause you to take time off work” .

So is this review based on a prototype?

I moved from a UK city to a town on the edge of Dallas.

There was a crossroads with a strip mall. grocery store, dentist, food places etc, about 15 minutes away, but it was often too hot to walk. Anywhere beyond that was too far to walk.

Everything was so spaced out there. All the shops were surrounded by big parking lots. It was hard to even perceive that I was on a street with shops, at first, because everything was so far away from the road.

Now I live in a quiet street in suburb of LA. There’s a main street about 10 minutes away. So within 20 minutes walk I can visit restaurants, grocery stores, etc. Even a British supplies store to get real chocolate. Bus stops, library, doctors, dentist, opthalmologist, and a hospital, too.

But if I want a big department store, I’m driving 15 to 30 minutes.

The broader LA area doesn’t really have a center, just clusters of shops and malls at bigger crossroads. It seems endless. I could drive 50 miles to Newport Beach for vacation and never be outside a city.

I’m trying the fork now, thanks. So far, it’s behaving. Thanks for the pointer to the logs, I’ll take a look if it happens again.

Thanks. I’m giving that a try!

I have the phones connected, but the app just decides to disconnect and stay that way until I check it. I’ll give that fork a try, thanks!

I could live with a few minutes, but it’s showig as offline for days. Maybe it is failing after a reboot. At least that would be a known situation to watch for.

The only setting I see is “allow background usage”, which is on (I’m using it on a Pixel 7 and 8).

Do you use it on a phone too? I did find it tricky to set up (more options than I really need, and the phone app settings don’t really work unless you select “Web UI”, which is really strange), but I didn’t mind the setup if I could then leave it alone and it works. Ideally I want to set this up on other family phones, so I can update notes and they appear everywhere.

I’d like to use resilio, I even bought a license to support it as I use it for all my pc syncing. But it’s currently showing 41% battery use for today on my phone for 2 minutes screen time 11.5 hours background. Lenny Voyager shows 7% for 1.5 hour screen time. So something is not good with the phone app. Maybe the Android battery info display is misleading somehow (it confuses me because it shows a percentage of the time-interval you’re viewing, not a percentage of the total battery drain(.

Interesting, I’d not heard of that. But does it auto-sync files? It mentions the clipboard, sharing links and browsing remote directories, but I don’t see a file sync mentioned.

British fish fingers are usually mind-blowingly tasty compared to American fish-sticks. That might explain some of the disagreement.

It wasn’t gone from the play store for long.

Once people can run this level of generative AI locally, there would be no need for YouTube to be involved. We could all generate our own shorts from a prompt.

I can use a computer mouse with either hand (including using 3d editors, when you might need to do something like alt-middle+left button drag).

I was getting pain in my right hand from working, so I just tried switching until I got used to it.

Someone called me ambi-mousetrous.

A LOT of people see a mouse on the left of the keyboard and ask what should be a rhetorical question: “are you left-handed”, to which I’d reply “no”.
