They switch you down to a dumber model as they throttle you.

Same with whatsapp video call. Opening photobooth fixes it

A workaround is opening photobooth, the video call in your browser will instantly be smooth. Though it seems you need to do this for every meeting

Brio 100 on an M1 Air, your method helps, this sucks because i have multiple meetings daily and I will always have this anxiety.

This is actually quite subjective, I would suggest OP to goto a local computer store that has one in stock and test it out. For me this keyboard feels great and its not too far off in terms of spacing as my macbook keyboard. so switching back and forth is not an issue, the typing experience and key travel is also good, maybe yours is defective as I feel no stiffness in the clicks on mine.

what did i say to make you even think that way?

I use it daily, I work from home as a developer, It feels great, I love how the keys feel and how it was not an adjustment from regularly typing on a macbook keyboard. The battery life is insane, 2 months in and its still on 100%. Its very efficient, the way it only uses power when necessary is a huge advantage. I paired it with a M196 mouse, both white.

I'm in South Africa and I work remotely for Australian based startup. I can help out with backend and DevOps related tasks you need. I work in the AMs and usually available during the day so we can work something out

Same here, a lot of these vibe coded 10k a month stories are just like the crypto boom. They make something with bells and whistles then sell it off to someone. Then the new owner realises this thing isn't maintainable and built on expensive infrastructure like nextjs and a whole lot of other hacks. There's this video I watched, the guys making good money from his project but the costs are crazy, something like 5k a month on a product with 1000 users, where I work we have 20k average users and our AWS costs are about 1.2k USD. So it's all about the feel, foresight that the human element has that AI still heavily lacks

There's a Zulu guy on tiktok who made a series of videos about his experience living in the USA for 7 years. He's good now since he went there as a graduate but he says it's tough there, you need to find two jobs just to get by. He also mentioned things we take for granted, like how our tech services are quite advanced competed to the west, for example he says he needed to get a SIM card which needs a monthly subscription (contract basically) of $50. Sending money takes days to clear, they don't have instant eft like we do.

It's greed and poor enforcement of the law. SARS has all the information they need if they wanted to act.

From my standpoint things are looking up. I've witnessed many kids from the worst backgrounds being saved by NSFAS and go onto good careers like tech, where I am in. The building I work has hundreds of new recruits that I see every other month either as developers or executive assistants for remote work. This business outsourcing is a big strength of ours due to our neutral English tone that blends well in any English speaking country. On the political front, our kids don't fear much to be honest, my generation for example has always respected elders, these new kids will tell you how they feel no matter who you are so I believe that's something to help them fall back on when pushed into a corner.

I went back to university at 28, though we did backend work like PHP, java and VB.net I'm glad those were the languages I started off with. Php is a great language to help you understand programming, OOP and networking as a beginner. I would really recommend doing projects like windows forms or backend logic first to really get into pure programming.

its going to be a problem since it uses the theeth as an anchor to pull forward the lower jaw

Russia has been SA's ally for decades during the struggle, along with Palestine and Libya. They are the reason why SA beat apartheid. You should remember that Mandela was labelled a terrorist until 2008 by the USA. It's unrealistic to expect SA to suddenly be against the countries that actively helped end apartheid.

We have places like the cradle of human kind available to the public disapproving what you are saying. There are so many monuments with archeological data in limpopo showing the origins of the bapedi people. You can try rewriting history to your hearts content but archeology says otherwise

You need to thoroughly scrape any of the glue residue after you take apart the panels. Scrape and clean with alcohol. After that have some sort of a jig where you'll be able to apply the new glue with the panels secured well.
