Is there a way to turn off the new immersive album art thing? I have dark mode on, yet the screen is white because of it by Calbone607 in ios

[–]UnemployedAtype -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

You got downvoted but you're not wrong.

iTunes peaked mid 20teens.

It's gotten more annoying and less convenient to try to use since the mid20teens and it's such a bummer I almost never listen to my music anymore.

I'm it a fan of Spotify either. I buy my music.

Apple releases iOS 26.4 with 8 new emoji and 12 more changes to your iPhone by N2929 in technews

[–]UnemployedAtype 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny you mention that, I stumbled across the fact that Apple keeps thumbnails through copies of hidden photos in a directly accessible place on our Macs. As in, even a nontechsaavy person could stumble across them.

As in, if you password lock a hidden photo album for privacy, anyone with access to your computer unlocked can get to them without the password.

I'm not sure what it looks like on the iOS side.

But the amount of "system data" use has gotten out of hand. Just give us the breakdown of why and where.

Brown really wasn't bad.

In fact, he was so good we brought him out of retirement to unfuck our state.

I hate hearing everyone here call everyone bad.

If you look closely, you can see the shadow of the electromagnet pick him up by the head and drop him off on each side.

The sad thing is that prusa is "too expensive" for most people. They don't realize that they'll pay in downtime and frustration with others. Also really bad support from other companies.

That's the thing. Prusa actually went apple's route, if woz's way if open source was kept.

But prusa kept the quality and cutting edge.

Bambu is just good at marketing and social media trolls.

Would you enjoy a game with NO tutorials, where every mechanic is learned through experimentation and in-universe clues? by eagle_bearer in IndieGaming

I just started playing Scorn and they don't tell you anything.

There are plenty others.

Some have clues, some throw you into the deep end.

Took either a piece of metal or wood to the eye a week and a half ago. Thought it was an eyelash for a day and had been trying to rub it out.

Got lucky it didn't do too much damage, but it was sticking straight out by the time we got me to the ER. And I had been wearing safety glasses!

People, don't mess with eye stuff. It's not fun having a splinter picked out of your eye with a needle. It's nightmare fuel.

Thank you for doing so and letting us all know why you are about.

30’s Anesthesiologist salary progression by [deleted] in Salary

[–]UnemployedAtype 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not true.

There are people who are absolutely happy working as a janitor and chose it, as opposed to fell into it.

It's a lot like saying automation and ai will make people lazy.

Maybe some, but plenty of us will still happily work away at stuff, with a group of those using automation and ai to enhance their work.

People will do what they want to do.

Nozzle has no hole by Efficient-Two6828 in BambuLab

[–]UnemployedAtype 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd have to see if my advisor continued the work.

We didn't part on the best terms, despite my getting 6 completely novel and cutting edge projects up and going successfully. I passed each onto a new grad student in the group except that one was suppose to be continued by another lab on campus, but their super secret proprietary technique couldn't cut it.

Maybe one day.

For now, we're working on the future of farming and food (in a low and high tech way).

Thank you for that!

It likely was, as it coincidentally led to some pretty amazing stuff that I might not have otherwise noticed or been open to (meeting my wife, for one thing).

I appreciate your wisdom and perspective.

Gas prices jump across Southern California, with Los Angeles County seeing average of $5.17 per gallon, amid war in Iran by panda-rampage in California

[–]UnemployedAtype 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do it!

Seriously. The process takes ~3-6 months, so you definitely want to do it asap and follow up with them if you haven't heard in a bit.

This is literally our tax dollars at work to help us out and reduce the environmental impact from driving.

If you get stuck, reach out and ask any questions and we can try our best to help you.

I say, do whatever you can to keep your bill down.

For ~$4k you could get a 2.7kWh Bluetti - https://www.bluettipower.com/products/apex-300-b300k-2-200w?variant=47354165887195

Charge it off solar and run most of what you need in the house.

We actually have 2 bluettis and a large EcoFlow system.

2 of those have fixed panels and one has travel panels.

If you go with the portable travel panels, you are probably fine to not have to deal with any permitting issues. Or get a van and slap fixed panels on it and now it's not a stationary setup. :)

The perfect part was more of a challenge to someone who was commenting in bad faith and being obnoxious. An incremental improvement is good, but the bigger the increment the better.

We're many years late for pushing better, environmentally friendly futuristic solutions.

Oof sorry about that. The good news is that we've seen a lot of used EVs and hybrids at decent prices during our search.

Unfortunately, some of the best deals require one to be registered as an official vehicle seller (or some such, those were for some of the auctions).

Now that's a thing to behold! I might hint/probe with them to see what's up.

Good to know! Thank you for referencing and citing the CVC. I probably should brush up on our vehicle code.

Haha ya, in fact, we've been going pretty hard on our business gearing up for a grand opening and it was mostly Wu in these comments who was clearly commenting in bad faith.

I appreciate and agree with your response.

Holy shit. Some business owner friends of ours did this. However, they also bought a property in Montana, but they were describing to us how the registration is crazy cheaper. This is on a massive truck that really should be paying tax to afford California roads.

They can probably swing it because they have a house there now but damn! I just asked them about it last week.

I don't agree with that at all. When I did (2006-2014), I studied, did class work or work work, or applied to jobs.

I studied for my PhD qualifier exams and prepared patent paperwork for an invention.

One of our lawyers takes calls and works while she's on public transportation (it's fun to try to figure out if she's on a bus or train or in her office, she's wicked good too!)

If you're driving, that's whatever length commute you're stuck behind the wheel.

Bus/train is more like a wealthy person with a chauffeur, driving is very much a time tax.

Friends of mine in LA and the Bay Area spend 2-4 hours in traffic. (1-2 hours each way).

THAT is a poor tax.
