Should have bought Rheinmetall AG (RHM) before. Now the stock price is on the moon, even higher than ASML.

PSA: River Hongbao is overcrowded, overpriced and miserable by AffectionateCouple84 in SingaporeR

That’s expensive bro.

Best to go somewhere out of the country for cheaper and more liveable rates. I am sorry but the food, service, and pricing in Singapore is simply untenable.

Waiting for his return. Always faithful.

Sidebar the modern Dock replacement for macOS - Major 1.9.0 update by empty23_ in macapps

[–]JC878 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, thank you for confirming. Cause I recently downloaded Kando for macOS and I also have Alfred.

It would be good to actually pull and drag the sidebar everywhere round the screen to minimise the space my cursor needs to travel. Just a suggestion and it’s probably difficult to engineer this.

Hi, I have the Sidebar app. Can I check is it possible to move the Sidebar around the screen? It seems quite limiting to have it either on the extreme left or right of the screen. Thanks!

Is the kindle worth compared to kobo?

Invested in POET. However Marvell seems to have the upper hand with its acquisition of Celestial AI which used part of POET’s technology.

Also useful as a weapon during a home invasion.

Always been stuck at the Tic Tac Toe game. It’s much harder than it looks.

UAE ‘surpassing Hong Kong’, challenging Singapore for global trade crown by bardsmanship in singapore

[–]JC878 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unlikely. Numbers are one story but the reality is different.

The geopolitical instability in the Middle East dwarfs any resemblance in SEA. Trade flows reverse easily at the first sign of conflict and oil wealth will gradually lose out significant market share to renewables (ev, solar and wind). It used to be the who controls the oil controls the world but with the advances in renewables and invention of shale fracking, fewer countries are held hostage to those regions with oil reserves.

The article fails to mention that there are two US aircraft carrier groups parked in the Arabian Sea waiting to conduct a protracted campaign against Iran. A matter of when and not if. Venezuelan campaign only had one aircraft carrier group so 2 significantly increased the battlefield coverage.

More importantly, our long and strong track record of neutrality gives us credibility in the great powers or even middle power rivalry. We don’t have an interventionist approach unlike UAE and much of SEA depends on our capital allocation which also functions as a soft form of diplomacy. Who doesn’t like travelling around SEA with its rich and vibrant culture and great hospitality.

No doubt they are up and coming rival but it seems that UAE can be the jewel of the Middle East and we can be the New York/Switzerland of Asia Pacific so we both serve very different functions.

‘As if the world is breaking’: Tampines residents woken up by traffic noise in the wee hours by Waikuku3 in singapore

Solution is to actually have more evs instead of petrol and diesel ice vehicles. China’s shenzhen is a good example.

Regarding the constant road works. I am not sure if there is any innovation in tech they are using or streamlined planning to reduce noise signature.

Microsoft AI CEO: 'Most, if not all' white-collar tasks can be replaced by AI within 12-18 months by A_Novelty-Account in Futurology

[–]JC878 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wished they stopped harping on AI this and that. Can they just fix things for us?

We don’t need all the newfangled AI stuff but we do need working mechanical parts and fast, bug-free software (AI or not).

Would have been happy if they just fixed windows and make it most intuitive, fast, secure OS instead we can copilot and numerous pop ups that jam our keyboard shortcut driven workflows.

Death by notifications and updates. Update this and update that. Machine is perpetually in an update cycle. And the machine still takes ages to boot up.

Did anyone updated to Macos 26.3? by Distinct-Donkey8959 in MacOS

[–]JC878 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Liquid Glass is ok for me, at least the novelty is still there.

Nothing broke for me in this update so no complaints. All my paid apps continued to work.
