I travelled to Spain to see the total eclipse and it was cloudy. My next door neighbour in UK had a better view

There was also a series of videos at his own new house where he's getting the LMG employees to work on things for him at his house.

The power dynamic felt super off like he's rubbing his wealth in their (and our) faces. I'm not mad that he built a business, is doing well and got a nice house with his family. I would have been happy for his success, but the whole vibe of making that into content made it feel uncomfortable to watch. It felt more like he wanted to show off than it being about the tech.

That, and the way he reacted to various scandals including the one you mentioned was extremely poor and his disingenuous reviews, I had to drop them, the list just kept growing.

It's a shame because I liked a lot of the content and I really like Riley, James and the other staff as presenters but my heart sinks any time Linus' face appears again in my feed.

Green Hill's looking a lot more like Sand Hill right now

He says "over $800" and the screenshot shows the cheapest around $879 so no it wasn't bothering me

You can develop the app on any platform but Apple made it so iOS apps can only be compiled from Apple devices. There's no particular technical reason I'm aware of just they've designed their proprietary compiler that way and haven't released it cross platform.

I turned 270° to the left, is this right?

Because Nintendo is getting refunds from the US government, they're refusing to pass that on to consumers

If it were still a mystery where written language came from and the dictionary landed from space, then yes just like that

Tbf my copy of GTA V for PC came on 7 discs back in 2014, so I guess it's not unheard of for them. My gaming PC didn't have a disc drive so that was a fun start. Multi-disc games are worse on consoles though for sure

That's my point.

Regularly going to ATMs / banks is demonstrably less convenient for both consumers and businesses and safeguarding the cash presents a security risk, especially for small businesses.

But the alternative of digital payments comes at a huge cost to privacy.

Exactly, it's not only deceptive but also ignoring the fact that many visitors are likely not earning on par with people in New York and are making decisions about where to eat based on the advertised prices.

All these bars and restaurants talking about how busy they've been and have massively increased business during the world cup. They're aware of the tipping problem yet still somehow can't find the cash to cover the difference so that their staff get a normal wage.

They could share some of their revenue windfall with the wait staff. But instead they complain to news outlets and add an automatic 20% markup without prior notice to extract even more money from the visitors.

 

In love with the shape of U
