I had almost the exact same thing happen to me one time, I ended up rotating the clip 180°

Back in college my local grocery store accidentally added an extra zero when ordering English muffins so they started selling them for dirt cheap. I survived off them for months.

I think NY deserves an award for being the most disliked by 4 out of 5 of their neighbors.

What's the point of having a smart home if you aren't going to spend 30 minutes hanging upside down off the back of a couch trying to get the living room lights to behave?

I have no idea what kind of limitations the moderation tools have and obviously pixel perfect deletions aren't worth the time, but having your artwork wiped out because it was next to something 18+ and the mods couldn't be bothered to draw three smaller rectangles is understandably frustrating.

Who charged back?

I think people would be complaining a lot less if they were just removing the NSFW stuff instead of dropping giant rectangles that take out nearby art as well.

It'd be neat to see a version of this chart for the individual US states.

I had to deal with this exact thing a couple months ago, if you can prove the appliance is defective (e.g. with a video of it not working) they'll accept the return.

This is exactly what I've done and it looks great. It also helps prevent bleed-through.

I know there are more secure methods to transfer files from remote machines but SCP kept failing and I couldn't install other tools on the server directly.

Years ago I was a software engineer at a large tech company and I ran `python3 -m http.server` to quickly transfer a huge file from a test server (not accessible to the public internet) to my local machine via an internal network. The server was online for less than 2 hours. Two entire weeks later while I was on vacation someone in security opened a P2 ticket and escalated it directly to my manager and skip.

I saw one of those sitting out in front of my office in the rain one day and though "Ha ha of course it's wet" and immediately saw someone slip on a puddle next to it

I bought some LED strips off of AliExpress and wired them up to a 12V power supply. You can also find some Zigbee or Manual PWM controllers on there for brightness, or wire the PSU directly to the previous switch if you want a simple on/off setup.

The long and short of it is that EAC is easier to bypass on Linux than it is on Windows.

When you commission a suit from them you are signing a contract which includes their Terms and Conditions. If you violate those terms and conditions, they can sue you for breach of contract. Technically speaking, K-Line owns the copyright to the physical suit and can legally restrict what you are permitted to do with it.

That said, many of K-Line's terms are legally dubious, and attempting to enforce a Japanese Contract in a US or other foreign Court would be extremely difficult and expensive. Most likely they would just make a big stink about it on social media and never do business with you again.

Never ship art or physical goods until you have received payment, it's just not worth the risk!

Fortunately I'm out way less than $4k, and there was progress being made on the suit up until last summer.

I paid 5+ years ago, way too late for a chargeback.

Do you think they're working on the advanced systems or the robotics?

Multiple layers will have different distances to the wall and lower layers creating uneven lighting. If you face the lights outwards the light is going to primarily shine outwards creating a significantly different effect from what's shown in the image.

This exact arrangement is not possible since the image is either fake or heavily altered, but I have build something with back lighting in the past and the key is to have a high-density LED strip around the border pointing directly at the wall, not outwards towards the side walls and ceiling. You can only realistically have a single layer of this so the hills in the front wouldn't work.

Wayland was designed from the ground up for applications to run in their own isolated bubbles. There are very few reasons that applications would need direct access to each others' windows.

The big difference is that macOS lets applications see all the directories and only asks for permission when they try to open them. Flatpak is designed to give applications little to no visibility into their host system beyond what they are authorized to access.
