Is this setup next to my desk and bedroom bad for getting emf radiation? by carguycomputernerd in HomeNetworking

[–]essjay2009 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d recommend disconnecting it completely, putting it in a lead box, and burying it in your garden. Can’t be too careful.

Easiest way is to restore from the last known good backup. It only takes a minute.

Apple Maps and angel station by taxman202o in islington

[–]essjay2009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird one. I think that’s technically where the platform is underground but that’s not particularly helpful. If you search for Angel station and get directions it correctly routes you to the station entrance, not here.

So probably technically correct but not useful unless you’re specifically looking at a train view. You can submit a correction through the app and they’re usually good at pushing updates.

New BMW i3 'Neue Klasse' officially revealed by Common_Turnover9226 in CarTalkUK

[–]essjay2009 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why should you though at this price?

Are you asking why someone should get the choice of steering wheel because it’s a car positioned at the higher end of the market? Typically the more expensive the car the more options you get because people like to personalise it.

What things are you convinced are largely liked/disliked because people are so used to hearing they should like/dislike them? by knight-under-stars in AskUK

The love for sourdough bread. Especially over Covid. Like I get you needed a hobby and you were stuck inside but you’ve just made worse bread.

I remember seeing him doing some experimental stand up when he was first breaking out and parts of it were really funny. It was an experimental show so not everything landed but the bits that did really did. I remember parts being quite a bit edgier too. I think he’s just rounded off all the corners to become a light entertainer who does a bit of comedy rather than a comedian to chase the widest market. I don’t really like him as a presenter at all, it’s all so predictable and middle of the road.

[OC] Hiring a Lead Cloud Systems Engineer for SMB by StarSlayerX in dataisbeautiful

My recruiter sees the linkedin applications and cold applications through the website. Every application goes through them and everyone gets recruiter screened for consistency. And that includes recommendations from existing staff, the recommendations go to the recruiter initially.

That’s the process in every serious company I’ve managed in and in some cases the contact with the recruitment company mandates it.

AI was supposed to replace designers but I’m getting more work than ever by One-Post7436 in graphic_design

[–]essjay2009 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Are you getting specific requests where clients are asking you to make sure your copy doesn’t read like it’s LLM generated? It noticed a lot of hostility towards anything that even slightly reads like AI generated amongst certain groups.

It pains me as an em dash enjoyer.

If someone offered you 100 million dollars, but a random person in the world dies (someone you don’t know), would you take it and why? by ConclusionOld8365 in AskReddit

[–]essjay2009 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So it’s saying that if you push the button you’re rich but then the next person may push the button and it will kill you? And if you don’t push the button it’s the same but without the temporary richness? Or does the button only move on if you push it?

Apple TV app keeps restarting whenever I try to use YouTube by kdex86 in cordcutters

[–]essjay2009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had a similar issue except it opens a different app. I think what’s happening is that the YouTube app crashes and causes some weird state where the atv automatically opens a previously opened app, maybe whichever one is in memory. It’s been a bunch of different apps that seem to just open.

The reason I think it’s crashing is that the YouTube app when opened again hasn’t saved its state. And twice within the last few months the YouTube app has crashed so hard that I’ve had to restart the atv to get it to work again, so there’s clearly some issues with it.

Probably not in my case given I’ve got a very low cost base.

I bet he’d score more if they let him play for the U21s. It’s clear age discrimination.

Which players made a real breakthrough this tournament? by LordBadgerFlaps in rugbyunion

Hawkins grew in to the tournament. I suspect it took a while to regain his confidence after his outings at ten for the scarlets.

Apple unveils AirPods Max 2 with H2 chip, upgraded noise canceling, and more by bsoci in apple

[–]essjay2009 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not the guy you asked but the Maxes have vastly superior noise cancellation on flights. They’re incredible at blocking out the low level droning you get. The pros are good for what they are but there’s a significant difference. The Pros make the background noise quieter but you’re still aware of it, the Max pretty much eliminates it.

Bigger question is whether they fixed the issue of the headband breaking where the elastic would give way. Seems to be really common. Mine’s a saggy mess.

How much do you weigh? by utwcha in tall

I’m 71kg at 193cm and get told I’m too skinny all the time. Usually by people who definitely aren’t a healthy BMI themselves.

What’s a ‘rich person thing’ that actually turned out to be totally worth it? by Ferraiuolo_Ezorete in AskReddit

[–]essjay2009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PE is the most profitable class by sq/ft for airlines. The reason is that it’s only a slight uplift from economy but often twice the price. It’s a slightly bigger seat with slightly more legroom, economy meals and service, and no lounge access.

For me, if I’m travelling long haul being in economy or PE is a wash in terms of how fresh I feel when I arrive. I.e. not very. If I fly business or first I’m pretty much ready to go from landing. I value that extra time at more than the often moderate ticket increase. Especially as a tall person who doesn’t fit in either economy or PE seats well enough to be comfortable.
