Find a new company? 😆

The mall was dying by the 80’s, there was a sharp decline by then (I recall seeing numerous malls going vacant in the 90’s, around the country).

The things that drove mall popularity (especially things like large, enclosed, air-conditioned space), were no longer novel. Most cars were air-conditioned by then.

I’m sure there are many other factors, like the growth of free-standing single-vendor buildings (so construction and management costs must’ve changed).

Amazon really had nothing to do with it.

And anything going from Apple to another Apple won’t be via RCS.

Gotta use /s to ensure it’s understood.

Text lacks tone.

Plus it’s still tied to a phone number.

Why do I need another shitty messaging app that’s tied to my phone number, in the 21st century, when I’ve had proper hardware-independent network-based, cross-platform, messaging apps on my phone since 2009?

So, what’s the utility of labeling yourself a “bad person”?

Everyone, everyone is imperfect, it’s the nature of being human. And we’re all imperfect in our own way, though we may share categories or degree of imperfection with others.

What’s more useful is to acknowledge when a poor choice is made, and striving to make better choices.

Negative self-talk doesn’t help.

If you currently have an IP camera setup, add Tailscale to your network with the Subnet Routing feature enabled.

You can then access that camera from anywhere.

Optionally also enable the Funnel feature, and you won’t even need the Tailscale client.

My Lexmark laser, from 1996, just quit last summer.

Though I think I can fix it - seems a paper jam sensor is stuck.

If you’ve owned more than 2, those are on you! 🤣

But yea, consumer printers suck.

I’ve tested converting DVDs at different resolutions, and playing them on a 60" screen sitting 6’ away.

720 is just fine. I really can’t tell a difference between 720 and 1080, usually. Surprisingly.

Most lotions contain dimethicone, a silicone relative.

They both work by being moisture barriers, preventing moisture loss (for hand lotion).

As someone who struggles with skin issues, I don’t even bother with lotions that don’t have dimethicone, they’re practically useless for me.

Yes, no, sort of.

I mean shampoo is definitely not the same as laundry soap.

And even between shampoos, there are differences (as anyone with skin conditions can attest).

Are products in any one category largely the same? Yes. But there are differences.

Or any business, not even corporate.

You see the same crap in SMB.

Hence the quotes around finger

Someone manufactures anti-drone shells for shotguns. No idea how they’re supposed to work (of if they do), just thought it was interesting.

Wtf are you talking about?

Apparently, old-fashioned spark radios can disrupt comms for consumer drones. There are kits for people who are interested in learning about early radio tech.

I’ve not verified this myself.

My takeaway: jetflix developed a model that worked. Just need to replicate that many times.

Would probably work well for sharing with family /friends.

Guess we’d need to qualify it with more in our personal libraries that we actually want to watch. Lol

piracy run by a couple random schmucks has an infinitely better service AND content selection than the top 4 corporate streaming services combined"

FTFY 😁
