That assumes the dealer or owner lets you. Granted that’s enough for me to walk away from the sale, but generally I’ve not had a good track record with dealers letting me pull battery health figures as it’s beyond what they understand (dealership training is very very poor) so it scares them. Owners generally are happy to provide me a print out.

If I were to hazard a guess, they’re reusing a mobile board design for this somewhat and at least in mobile applications socketed dimms draw 30-50% more juice than soldered. It could also be the npu or gpu requiring the 5-10% extra memory bandwidth they get from being soldered. I do agree that I don’t think it was worth the trade offs from a consumer perspective, but framework seems to generally make good choices so I’m thinking there must’ve been some outside pressure at play affecting the financials of the project or something.

Specifically the ones they’re most abusing. 😭

Can we get it to 99?!

I once had a legitimate and expected call circa 2014 with the SSA to discuss depositing into my bank account of a dispursement. The call came from a random Tennessee number. The first question was “what’s your Social Security number?” And my response was “I don’t think I’m supposed to give anyone that” and the guy legitimately laughed and went “yeah, but you need to give it to us” and that’s the day I discovered our government’s opsec is 💩.

Welcome to the worst part of “vote with your wallet” capitalism, the realization that you cannot.

Why do I live in a country where one guy makes the same as 6274 other people? 😩

Microsoft code had a bug in it? No. Fuckin. Way. (/s)

I’m in the US as well, Iowa. Youtube premium no ads was $7.99 at launch. Eventually they bundled in gpm and increased it to 12.99 at which point I canceled. This was just prior to the rollout of ytm. If they A/B tested my area I’ve no idea, but I’m not incorrect. I literally just checked my email receipt.

It did increase the price, it went from 7.99 to 12.99 in my area with a brief “grandfather” period they were very quick to remove. It was also not called YouTube music at the time but Google play music. They also used to have a feature that allowed you to upload your own library of music for streaming along side their digital library which they removed with the switch to YouTube music. Very annoying because you could manually patch the holes in their licensing agreements, include local unknown bands in your library, and edits or mixes of songs you preferred. It was a dark time at the Google graveyard that hit me so hard I switched to iPhone.

I stopped paying the very second they looped in Google play music. I have zero need for a bundle, YouTube. Zero. Give me my cheap ad removal back for your already exorbitant rate. I know you’re not making more than a quarter a month off of even the users watching every ad.

Man we are so not ready for the ai propaganda machine as a society.

Canada oil low acid does ring a bell. It’s been a bit since I’d read up on it.

I’ve always found the petroleum distillate “Mineral spirits” to be oddly named in the same way. Also, if you’re from the US, canola is rapeseed oil of a specific variety that they rebranded as a combination of “Canada” and “oil” because rapeseed didn’t sit well with customers. There’s a lot of power in what we call things.

They’re “natural gas” (Propane/methane) burning turbine generators, not wind turbines if that’s what you’re getting confused.

Please, please win out. Microsoft is a fuckin scourge on computing. They deserve nothing and get everything with their monopolistic bs.

It is a thing. At least in the US, it’s even codified. People constantly pretending it’s not a thing and not reprimanding or punishing those who abuse it is turning it into not a thing unfortunately. Shits gotten so bad our head of DoJ and the turdlord president himself declare people “guilty” without punishment, trial, or evidence. It’s shocking to me honestly, this shit would’ve been treason when I was a kid. McCarthyism all over again.

“What’re you hiding if you’re ‘innocent’?”

Smh smh smh… “Innocent is a concept, and frankly it’s none of your business.” Miss those days.

It lives on in the halls of financial mainframes, next to his uncle Cobal.

Wikipedia does a half decent job, we should probably adopt a model of their policies for open source code intended to be shared in such ways.
