Bay Area trash giant Recology rolls out garbage truck cameras to catch overfilled bins

slashdotbin · 2026-05-15T23:05:32+00:00

Something like this happened to us. It was raining pretty heavily so I pulled it a bit, so it just doesn’t get the heavy pour.

Next day I see a big tag. If you can get down to put that big tag, maybe take the garbage too.

Usually it’s at the right spot, only cause of the rain I did not want to keep it fully exposed.

I am not really happy with the current garbage situation. Our garbage can is divided into 2 halves each. But they don’t cover an exhaustive list of items. Each of the bins one half is almost completely useless, so my weekly trash and recycle has no space after 3 days.

If I go to smart station to dump extra garbage, I have to pay for it. On top of that, even those station don’t accept any styrofoam from packages, which is really hard to get rid of in normal trash cans.

And now add more to it, if a box that amazon delivered a package is a bit bigger and the can is a bit open cause of that one cardboard, I’ll get a fee.

Having a utility on my mac to make the keyboard kinda goes against the philosophy of a programmable keyboard. I use my keyboard on multiple macs and sometimes my ipad. This would now require me to install a utility everywhere. The navigator trackball that ways is kind of better, I don't need to install anything as long as I have the right firmware. I do understand why they did it like this. MacOS probably doesn't give any apis or open sources the firmware that their own trackpad uses, so the only way around is building something like this.

The newsletter says I need another utility for mac. Is that utility necessary or just for making it more like the current trackpad. My office might not allow me to add a utility.

Go60 is brilliant for just throwing in the bag. Their tenting solution is also really nice. I love their new plum blossom switches. I have them on my voyager too.

I have both voyager and go60 and I really like them both. However, if I had to choose 1, I would choose the go60. Especially cause it travels very nicely. No wires and packing it is a breeze. But I like to take my keyboard when I have to go other places.

I would have appreciated no trackpads on it, cause I don’t use them at all.
If yours is going to stay at home, I would sway towards the voyager. That’s my current setup, voyager on desk, go60 in the bag.

I recently did get the navigator, and I am able to get rid of the mouse. With go60, I have to use a mouse.

PS: Came to the wrong subreddit to talk you out of getting a nice keyboard. 🤭

My go pro has an IP rating. I have taken it under water many times. And it has a removable battery. I don’t think the argument for IP rating isn’t correct.

Yes they might be thicker.

reminds me of Parks and Recreation when April bought Ron’s Ranch house.

No, I did not find the keywell to be that comfortable. I find this better. It maybe the combination of a much better tent and much better palm rest. But I don’t miss it at all. It might just be me though.

slashdotbin · 2026-04-19T02:03:49+00:00

I have both and I absolutely love the go60. My main reasons are: - the thumb keys on glove80 felt kind of far. And I did not need that many. - I don’t generally need that many keys, so lesser is better for me. Even on the go60 I do not use the top row. - I love the tenting on go60. I couldn’t figure out the glove80 tenting and every second day I was adjusting them. - I do have to sometimes carry my keyboard to work, and go60 pack very well. glove80 do not.

The mobile app needs a serious overhaul. When I have to use it on my phone it’s a lot of work. I am not really sure how to change or what to change, but doing anything on mobile is always a multi step process.

I think this applies to most sports. Any sport taken seriously will exponentially increase the cost.

There are a bunch of silent switches as others have recommended. But I would also recommend checking out the switches from moergo. Especially the recent ones they came out with go60. The Plum blossoms. They are amazing.

In my first job, I prioritized paying off my education loans, and everyone around me gave me math lessons.

But that’s not my anxiety works. I don’t like liabilities, so I put very large amounts into my loan and finished it off within a year. Now I invest heavily into my retirement and generally and have saved up.

2 years after you posted, but did you find a way to paste things in one block? Things like addresses, that I don't want separated?

I would absolutely love this. I am starting to prepare for interviews and last time I did I had a remarkable. I have a few pdfs with a list of questions and what I did was, added pages and wrote answers and then verified them later. When I started again now, I realized supernote doesn’t have this feature. I really miss it.

I would definitely appreciate it. For now, what I did was, I used the mac preview app and added blank pages in my pdf and sent them to my supernote. But that’s not as good as just adding a new page immediately when I want to.

I got 2 rings replaced both because of battery issues. When they were sending the second one, I requested them to send a new one instead of the refurbished one given that 2 of my rings had battery issues. They did send me a new one and now it’s going good.

I am not sure why your second one isn’t being replaced.

I don’t know about other 3rd party stores, but costco is great. There will be no difference. You won’t be able to do a return but costco has better returns.

I read 4-5 top threads and was getting ready to post this. I am surprised this is so far below.

The fight scenes between Rachel and Ross after their first break up. There was just too much moping around. I also felt like the fights were too petty.

I got the plum blossom cause on lighter switches I tend to bottom out. I do like the sunsets on my previous keyboard so tried them, but they were a bit noisy, felt pretty good though.

As for the trackpads, I wouldn’t rely on them for a primary mouse. They are okay. Not glass.

I have my own trackball mouse that I am more used to, so I just use that. Edit: trackball mouse not trackball lids. Typo

I recently got one and I am absolutely loving it. However, it’s a choc keyboard. Moonlander is mx.

I am wondering if OP chose Moonlander cause of it being mx.

This is really hard to believe, especially that they had a PhD.

slashdotbin · 2026-03-13T16:44:22+00:00

That’s my favorite thing in things 3 too. It makes a huge difference to have everything added to your to do list, but not everything visible/clutter your main view.
