This is giving me illegal number vibes. Like, if an arbitrary calculation returns an illegal number that you store, are you holding illegal information?
(The parallel to this case is that if a statistical word prediction machine generates copyrighted text, does that make distribution of that text copyright violation?)
I don’t know the answer to either question, btw, but I thought it was interesting.
Seriously. If he was going to admit fault, they’d have settled already.
Does running auctions while doing other things count? Because, if so, I definitely hit 16+ hours in WoW some days. Semi-automated glyph relisting, undercutting by 1c.
Then again, I hit the gold cap in Wrath, before I quit. So it was totally time well spent.
Thanks for taking the time to write that up! That looks like it might work really well for me.
I’m in a similar boat. I’ve searched the available FOSS launchers, and none seem to allow overloading app icons/folders with swipe actions. App folders and swipe actions are the only launcher features I really care about. (Well, a functional app drawer/list of some kind, too.)
I want 1 home screen with all my frequently used apps accessible in a single action, less frequently used apps sorted into logical (custom) folders, and rarely used apps visible in a drawer/list.
idgaf about widgets or search bars; I don’t want to type anything in my home screen, and I only use my home screen to open other apps, so widgets are pretty useless to me.
Do people just, like, keep their home screen open? Why?
I mean, I don’t have any direct sources on hand to refute that, but that logic doesn’t pass the sniff test, at least to me.
The Deck is an incredibly successful product that constantly sits near the top of the “all sales” chart, is incredibly important for Valve to keep computing open (and not lose their entire business model to Windows’ enshittification), and has virtually 0 overlap with any of the products coming out.
If anything, I’d expect them to cancel the GabeCube before the Deck, at least until the Deck has a successor.
???
I don’t understand what you’re trying to say.
The Supreme Court decision was banning their use of the trademarked phrase. As far as I can tell, that’s it. If you can find something in there that contradicts that, I’m all ears. But nothing in the linked article, aside from the terrible headline, says anything about a court ruling on the term “oat milk”.
Unless I missed something, this has no far-reaching consequences and is mostly a nothing burger.
The AI-over-investment-sparked memory shortage is what’s causing the problem, not Republican tariffs.
The GabeCube/Frame/Controller 2 shouldn’t have anything to do with the Deck, though. They’re entirely different products, so they shouldn’t impact availability of the Deck.
And that wasn’t true with the past update to the Deck, either; the 64GB and 512GB LCD models were available for so long that they went on clearance pricing multiple times before they sold out.
The title of the article is misleading. The ruling was on the use of “Post Milk Generation” as a trade mark for use in their advertising and on their products. It has nothing to do with using “milk” to describe their drinks.
Sadly, every comment in this thread seems to be responding to the title at face value, not the actual court case.
I think it’s a bit silly to prevent the trademark of that slogan, but I’m guessing that’s because I’m missing something in the nuance of what a trade mark is, legally, in the UK?
Speculating here with an example of a trademark I know a little bit about: “Grill & Chill” was trademarked by DQ in several jurisdictions. (Aside: and they used that trademark to threaten the “Chill & Grill” restaurant to change its name, despite that use clearly predating DQ’s use of the name by decades, but I digress…) I suppose that’s allowed because “grilling” is directly related to the “trade” of DQ’s services, but something ephemeral like “being a post milk person” is only indirectly related to their “trade” of making non-dairy beverages?
I suppose that makes sense. But still silly, imho.
Heads up that they’ve run out of Steam keys for a lot of these, and who knows if they’ll get more in stock.
Regardless, it’s cheap and a good cause, and it’s mostly PnP & digital tabletop RPGs/games, so most of the “good stuff” in this bundle wouldn’t have a Steam key anyway.
Easy buy, if you don’t need to worry about 10 USD in your budget.
Not OP, but that search brings up a bunch of different products on AliExpress: black paste, white paste, sprays, creams, liquids… Do you know if it matters?
Thanks for the tip, regardless. They’re only a few bucks each, so 8 could try a few, but if you have one you know works for PLA and/or PETG, I’d appreciate knowing what worked for you!
Edit: I just thought to look at your gallery again and saw the headlight restoration bottle in the background in one of the pics, so never mind!
The stock of dwellings per capita has risen considerably over that time, from about 290 per thousand people in 1971 to 403 in 2023. Even housing stock relative to the adult population alone (which has remained at a flatter and higher level due to the declining share of children in Canada’s population) has grown, from 477 dwellings per thousand adults in 1971 to 510 in 2023.
Some analysts prefer to take households as the key demographic unit, but this approach also reveals no clear evidence for the supply-shortage argument. Census data show that there have consistently been more dwellings than households since 1971. In the intense period of housing inflation since 2001, that ratio has actually risen slightly, from 1,011 dwellings per thousand households to 1,017 in 2021.
They address all three metrics explicitly.
Did you read the article? Household size is accounted for.
And yes, I have a minor in Economics with a Math major. FWIW.
The open menu key. It’s the one I remap to Compose (for special characters, like Comp±-- to get —).
Housing size is specifically addressed:
On top of that, the square footage of housing units in Canada has on average been growing across all housing types, which should in theory provide more flexibility for people to live with roommates.
Housing units are bigger and there are more of them per capita any way you slice it: by population, by number of adults, or by number of households.
They make a very compelling argument that the big change is not anything to do with supply, it’s entirely a result of easing burrowing standards and increased access to credit. It’s not as simple a story, but it actually offers a reasonable explanation for the observed data, while ECON101 Supply & Demand arguments don’t match the data. Doesn’t matter if it makes sense if it’s wrong.
They literally said what they were going to do. Project 2025 documents a plan to systematically take apart the apparatus of the federal government, and that’s exactly what they’re doing. Now, a lot of Americans are like shockedpikachu.jpg “I never saw this coming!”
Like, power to those who were paying attention and tried to get the word out, but 77 million Americans voted for the Republicans, and another 90 million didn’t bother voting. 75 million who voted for Democrats represent only about 30% of Americans, so they’re in the small minority compared to Republican voters and everyone else who couldn’t give a shit about the Republican’s public plan to dismantle the country.
And even of the 75 million who voted for Dems, what proportion recognized the existential nature of the election? I don’t know how to get numbers for that, but it clearly wasn’t high enough.
When the top 10% of wealth holders account for 50% of consumer spending, that’s actually logical of them. Most of us aren’t their target customers.
We need to go back to the way income taxes were for most of the 20th century. Using US numbers out of laziness:
By 1918, the top rate of the income tax was increased to 77% (on income over $1,000,000, equivalent of $16,717,815 in 2018 dollars[24]). The average rate for the (unspecified) “very rich” however, was 15%. The rate was increased in 1917 during World War I.[25] The top marginal tax rate was reduced to 58% in 1922, to 25% in 1925 and finally to 24% in 1929. In 1932 the top marginal tax rate was increased to 63% during the Great Depression and steadily increased, reaching 94% in 1944[26] (on income over $200,000, equivalent of $2,868,625 in 2018 dollars[27]). During World War II, Congress introduced payroll withholding and quarterly tax payments.[28]
Following World War II tax increases, top marginal individual tax rates stayed near or above 90%, and the effective tax rate at 70% for the highest incomes (few paid the top rate), until 1964 when the top marginal tax rate was lowered to 70%.
LibreOffice Draw works a treat for some tasks, but it basically converts the file into their format, and the app works like Microsoft Publisher. Then you export back to PDF at the end, if needed.
That edit had confused so many users over the years. They think they are signing away rights to their copyrighted work by agreeing to the platform’s EULA, but the terms granting them license to freely store and distribute your work? That’s literally what you want their service to do because you’re posting it with the intention of the platform showing it to others!
Granted, companies are using user data for other purposes too, so that’s a problem, but I’ve seen so so many posts over the last couple decades of people complaining about EULAs that describe core site functions…
