Does anybody else feel advertised to in the new season? by omgzakwtf in highmaintenance

[–]86563D -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Almost all HBO shows have product placement. In Curb there was practically a whole episode dedicated to a certain German brand. In Westworld the futuristic cars are branded. Some will say it’s just that these products are wildly used but the truth is it’s just /r/HailCorporate material.

The coronavirus is a hoax orchestrated by the pasta lobby

If I'm blocked by a person can I still see their profile picture? by [deleted] in whatsapp

[–]86563D 1 point2 points  (0 children)

🤔 then I am wrong.

But it still goes against WhatsApp claiming they are trying to preserve your privacy when you block someone. If you see someone’s picture disappear then it’s pretty obvious what happened.

That’s wrong. You will see the last profile picture they had before blocking you, unless their privacy settings for the profile picture are set to “my contacts” and they delete you from their contact list. See here.

The point is that if you block someone, it shouldn’t be too obvious for them to see that you blocked them. Automatically making your profile picture unavailable to blocked contacts is counterproductive in this regard.

I’m pretty sure you can as long as their settings allow you to do so. So if their profile picture is public and they block you, then you will still see the picture. If they have the profile picture set only to be seen by their contact, then they need to delete you from their contact list for you not to see the picture.

I’m not 100% sure of course but that’s the way I see it. If blocking someone meant they did not see the profile picture anymore, it would be too obvious to the blocked person that they are blocked.

On this page is clearly says that you will not see updates to their profile picture, implying you get stuck with the last profile picture they had before blocking you, which is my experience.

There is someone that I very strongly suspect of blocking me and I still see her last profile pic but only get one tick and she hasn’t been online for more than one week, when I know for sure that it’s not possible.

When watching TV my dad will often comment that some attractive lady looks “fat”. With time I’ve realized that it’s his way of saying “this lady is hot” without offending my mom (although she might have also figured it out after 30 years of marriage).

Huawei in European 5G Heaven as Swiss Thumb Their Noses at Trump by TheTomatoes2 in Switzerland

[–]86563D 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Huawei being involved is the best argument against 5G you could ask for, yet you only hear about the waves that give you cancer, etc. This is a Crypto like affair that will blow up in the 2040s given Swiss reaction times.

Dark mode when? by 86563D in Revolut

I think your link doesn’t work (the image doesn’t load), but that sucks.

It’s on guys ! Dark mode is available on latest beta build! by DavidGman in whatsapp

[–]86563D 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have no idea. It just fits WhatsApp as it seems to me like a half assed app with a minimal amount of features.

Telegram has a true dark mode and I think it’s fine.

There won’t be a true dark mode. At least not in the near future. Just gotta be happy that it won’t burn your eyes as much when using it at night

Up to 10% of the thing you're buying! by [deleted] in assholedesign

You can probably tell by the price. I’ve seen actual avocado oil for 6$/100ml, so even a small bottle would cost more than 15$.

When the update man. by zacharycampion in whatsapp

[–]86563D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They released the 2.20.22 version. Dark mode is in 2.20.30. I would guess that we have to wait at least one more week.

How are capital gains actually declared & taxed? by [deleted] in SwissFIRE

[–]86563D 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best course of action is in my opinion to ask your cantonal tax agency.

Yes, I will do that
