Don't forget the random times it doesn't just reboot into the OS and you're sitting there debugging for hours to login back in.

Haven't made a Hackintosh in a while, OpenCore is new to me. Does anyone know if Messages, Apple Store, etc. work or do you still have to hack it with a real serial?

Best Buy price matches to Amazon. They also work with cashback services and often times gives you a $5 coupon after purchasing a certain amount. Finally, they also let you return open boxes, no questions asked. Forgot to mention, you can do same day pick up for an item.

I recently went to the Genius Bar to get a replacement Airpod since the left ear stopped pairing. They told me to go home, charge the device for 10 minutes and it should "just work."

Guess what, it didn't. I was following the instructions online for more than an hour. I was about to schedule another Genuis bar appointment when I decided to try a factory reset. Sure enough, that worked! I wish they just put that in the instructions as something else to try. A quick Google search revealed that I was not the only one confused as to how to re-pair replacement parts.

Happens in the US too. As I was waiting for my doctor's appointment, I was just listening to the secretary call up patients to obtain payments. She was just reading out their credit card information out loud. I was honestly tempted to just take one down then call the credit card company to let them know it was compromised.

OH! I just realized this explains why my right shoulder is lower compared to my left! Every time I take a photo, the photographer always tells me to bring it higher. My neutral position for my mouse!

Jumping in to chime in on this. I developed issues a few months ago, then swapped over to the ergodox, and my daily pains stopped. If you can't afford the ergodox, I also found the Microsoft Sculpt worked wonder. I picked up a used one on eBay and it's been great.

I believe it's to keep the calorie under 150. Cabot is at 300 calories per serving, whereas the low-fat to 2% ones are typically around 120 calories.

When you file a dispute, they send it off to a third party to investigate. They dig into the contracts and when you make the purchase, you state you are agreeing to all their terms of no refund, etc. So you will almost always lose the dispute.

They also have special partnerships with credit card companies so the companies are more likely to side with Airbnb as well.

> If a guest stays even one night in a rental, for example, it is difficult to obtain a full refund, according to Airbnb’s rules.

You don't even have to stay one night... I ran into this exact scenario where upon arrival, the place had no electricity, wifi, and construction for a few blocks outside. I was unable to contact them until the next day since my first instinct was to look for another place ASAP and rest from the long flight. Sure enough, they threw their ToS at me and stated that I wasn't eligible for a refund. I contacted AMEX, but they partner with AirBnB so I was denied a credit there as well. I ended up paying an entire week for a place I didn't stay at.

I constantly still have problems with my Dell 4k monitor (first gen and last year's model), where it doesn't wake properly from sleep. Most of the time, I resolve it with the following.

- Switch the USB-C port from one to another - Open up my laptop from clamshell mode and switch the cables around - Unplug my monitor - Restart my computer

The nuclear option of rebooting my computer and monitor always seems to work.

Well, back in 2018, TechCrunch reported that they were compromised. I believe this is the same breach as then. They just reported it one year later.

You can charge the watch fairly quickly; less than 1-2hrs. If you sleep with your watch overnight, I've seen it drain anywhere from 4% to 10%. I think it depends on the notifications, etc. I usually turn my device on theater mode and DND when I sleep.

Does anyone know if fitness benefit reimbursement would apply to these?

I also believe they were aware of this problem in March of 2019 as I was forced to do a password reset on my affected Slack account from my password manager last updated timestamp.

If there's a Design within Reach in your area, they have all the high-end chairs to try there. I personally really liked the Humanscale line for their back support.

So there has been a lot of complaints about the keyboard, but one thing they seemed to get right was protecting it from a coffee spill. A few weeks ago, I spilled coffee with milk over my laptop. Unsure what to do, I tilted it sideways covering every key with liquid; just imagine a pond over the keyboard. I ended up using a paper towel to absorb the liquid and then ran a damp paper towel across all the keys. The keyboard is still functional to this day!

I recall spilling coffee in the past and it would completely destroy the keyboard causing the need to replace the logic board. I'm sure if Apple dissembled my keyboard they would notice a gross stain under the plastic membrane now.

As a renter, you have to provide several verifications (email, linkedin, google, phone number). I think you can get away with a single one. Sometimes, you'll be asked to provide a driver's license or passport for proof.

80% of the rentals I've been in weren't their primary home, so even if someone was to rob the place, there wasn't much to take. The most valuable thing would probably be the TV, but most places only had a 32-40" tv which goes for a few hundred bucks new.

While people aren't robbing Airbnb homes, there are several cases where they are getting completely destroyed.

Selling products and services would make them a hybrid (for-profit/non-profit) organization. The sales would be subject to sales tax. Without a 501(c)(3) status, they also wouldn't be eligible for many grants to secure larger fundings.

Even worse, FaceTime calls get routed to your desktop so as you're typing a message or an email, you can easily hit enter or spacebar to accept it accidentally.

Now it's making me wonder if the light on my Google Home Mini is on if that means it's passively listening to me. I always do a hard reboot since the indicator light suddenly stays active for a long period of time.

Yep! The base model will be fine for academia; however, you might want to invest in the 16GB of RAM as Chrome and other electron apps will consume all your memory leaving your computer crawling.

When you start working, you'll probably want to invest in the pro line for a faster CPU especially if you start booting up multiple services (databases, servers, etc.), mobile development, or crunching large sets of data.

If you save a wifi password, you can retrieve it in the Mac Keychain. If you've logged into the WiFi network on another iOS device, you can automatically share the password to your other devices.

I'm sure you can retrieve the wifi password on Windows, but there's probably a learning curve for someone unfamiliar with the ecosystem.

Do we even know if they modified the ToS after the complaint?

Well, there have been stories where folks clear out the apartment completely or significantly damage the apartments. A quick search for "airbnb stolen property" on Google will yield a few results.

Ha! I actually went to eBay to purchase an ergo keyboard very recently. The description said new, dented box. The photos still had the manufacturer stickers on it. They literally slapped a label on the keyboard box and shipped it to me. If it wasn't dented before it definitely would have been now. What ended up coming was a used keyboard with a key missing.

I messaged the seller about it and they completely ignored me. The seller even went ahead and opened a claim on me. They would accept the item back, but I would eat the shipping costs. The item was $17 with $20 shipping; so that would mean I lose $20 returning the item.

The case ended up being closed on me since I didn't ship it back within the stated timeframe. During that time I was trying to contact the seller before I lost both my item and money.

I can probably escalate this some more, but the $20 isn't worth my time to contact eBay and deal with this seller. The seller has 8 negative feedback within the last month from doing the same thing to other buyers.

This reminded me why I pay a little more and shop on Amazon instead.

I believe the whole remote only or not is really about the process as you mentioned. I've worked in a company where we had physical offices, but folks would work remotely several days a week. When we did standups, everyone would hop onto Zoom on their computers. Everyone would also be very punctual to meetings and respect the time setting agendas and providing notes for those who couldn't make it.

Now in a company that operates as an in-office, but supports remote work, it functions very differently. Everyone in the office huddles around the scrum master's computer and the remote folks are dialed in. Often times the audio is incomprehensible since people are too far from the one laptop. Meetings are randomly canceled or moved without knowledge. There were a number of times I would sit in a meeting for 10 - 15 minutes waiting for people and posting on the Slack channel if the meeting was still happening. Dead silence. Any larger team meetings, forget about it; I'll have to catch up from the slides later or ask my colleagues what I missed.

Not saying this approach was correct, but given a choice, what type of interview would you prefer? Hackerrank? In person, programming challenges, smaller take-home assignment, other?

"Looks like I'm going to be laid off soon :'("

Ouch, Score: -1.0. I guess this is going to be counted as salty too :D.

I'd like to point out that FB went through something similar within the first few weeks. And, the current day price is $177.
