Nope, I'm not interested. If you can't give me basic info without wasting my time to get on a call about something I'm not sure I give a shit about yet, then I won't do it. You lose my business and my company's business by proxy. Marked as spam and moved on.
Other streaming services are unfortunately not an adequate replacement for myself, so I'm stuck with Spotify for now, unless I become determined to download my entire 8k+ library of songs for self-hosted options.
I'll have to play around with this application.
But Gmail doesn't have "folders". They have "labels". I wont go into all the details about how Gmail labels work that frustrate and annoy me, but the point is that IMAP clients cannot see labels, they can't replicate it on the client end, etc.
This caused a legitimate problem at work when the finance dept. wants to use this service that reads emails to automatically scan invoices into their system and whatnot. They wanted to be able to only have a subfolder automatically imported into the program, because too many of the emails were not relevant to get imported, creating more work to clear them out.
We were not able to achieve a solution with a simple folder for the users to move emails into to get them imported. Instead, we had to set up a second email account specifically for this importing service, and whenever finance wants something imported, they forward the email to that second account.
Like others said, fighting the clean HOME fight is just draining and futile in the end. This script helps you identify low hanging fruit, though, where you can change their storage location with a simple envvar.
If anyone has experience with a "real" CAD program, and they try to use FreeCAD, they will lose their mind and wonder why anyone uses it at all. The reason to use it is it's open source and free. If that's what matters to you, you grit your teeth through the awful interface, learn its quirks, and learn just enough of the tools to do what you need to do.
For one, it's much easier and natural to add additional pieces of information on entries in 1Password. Bitwarden's implementation of this always feels like a poorly integrated afterthought.
Somethings I include brief explanations or links to a particular piece of hard-to-find documentation.
Don't undervalue getting all these features in a purpose-built device with a purpose-built OS.
Sounds nice and healthy
This is an extremely well researched and presented video that exposes the fact that HEPA purifier marketing is a bit of a scam. The most important factor in air purifiers is not the filter but Clean Air Delivery Rate. You can only make a difference if you are moving air through the filters faster than particulate is introduced into the air.
I just returned a Medify filter because their advertised square footage is way higher than what the purifier should support based on the info in the video; it is inadequate. No idea how they are calculating their numbers - not to mention it's probably at the max speed setting - but it doesn't align with the sources from the video.
On top of that, smaller air purifiers must move air faster, be noisier, and the smallest sizes of particulate are captured most effectively at low velocities.
Use something like this to make a nicer version of a CR box: https://acinfinity.com/component-cooling/cabinet-fan-systems...
Or buy one of these: https://www.cleanairkits.com/
Those seem to be the best options that ACTUALLY work.
I won't be switching from Kitty to something not well-used and known to be stable.
Yes, old people are in power in other places too. I live in America. Japan is an extreme case, and the low porportion of younger voters excacerbates the disparity.
