In the early days Meta (Facebook back then) used to pay bounties by physically mailing pre-paid debit cards, so you are not far off with the idea of envelopes full of cash.

Excluding SE is to make sure people do not spam customer support and launch annoying phishing campaigns. None of that is applicable for local software running on your own computer.

Quick googling gave that Stockholm is deeper on average, although the deepest point of London metro is currently deeper than Stockholm. No drastical differences that should affect this question I think.

(This will change when they are done with Sofia station, a new station in Stockholm that they are building 100 m below the surface.)

Which should be fine for all the things the comment mentions though (remotes, keyboards, etc).

iOS has a few options between 30 seconds and five minutes and then one at never.

The numbers differ a bit in different sources, but seems to be around 60% for Sweden. https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/mobile/sweden Based on that upper middle class being a bit more common seems likely.

Regardless, the original point stands regardless of it being 50% or 80%.

Edit, forget what I said. I missed the keyword 'paid'.

Threads earlier this year apparently got 70 million user signed up the first 48h. I would assume this leads to at least >1m Android users?

First example I came to think about, might be much better examples out there. Regardless, something with "more than 100,000 people" in 48h is probably not the fastest growing Android app.

ChatGPT throw together that game in a few seconds if you want to play it.

What are you missing? If only a few tasks you could just VNC to a “desktop OS” for these tasks. I would assume most things that requires such OS requires an internet connection anyway.

I still primary use a laptop, but that is because I like the form of it. So I have no actual experience trying to survive with only iOS.

I think I agree with your overall point, but it is mentioned on the site where to find the RSS feed.

Erasmus is a specific program that does exchanges within the EU. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erasmus_Programme

In Sweden, we only use that word to talk about exchange studies within that program. If someone mentions Erasmus, I would never, before reading your comment, even consider they might mean going to the USA.

Not to disqualify your experience, it might very well be used like that in your country or language. I just thought it was a bit interesting.

Brainstorming all kind of subjects studied in uni. It gets me a lot of ideas to look up elsewhere, as I cannot take its suggestions as facts directly.

Also use it similar to Grammarly.

For $20 I would sign up without hesitation if it means it will not go down as often.

> Your users would be breaking those terms, not you, as they do it on their own machine. As the parent said, just remove all reference to LinkedIn and you can move on.

There is some kind of cloud stuff here though.

Does not work from US. Twitter shows lots of people elsewhere having problems. Meta status page says everything is working though, https://metastatus.com/

Edit, ops did intended to make a submission with the Twitter search. Seems like I accidentally pasted the wrong link.

Why not use headphones?

I stumbled upon https://showgpt.co/ earlier, maybe something to take inspiration from.

> I personally use amazon customer support chat myself very often.

For what?

I would like a link to an example page. Current there are none indexed by Google so I only have the preview to judge from.

> Though in doing so they will be notified that you have done so.

No. Depends on how you look it up, but you could just send an email (from anonymous account if wanted) to the tax agency asking for someones salary. You get an answer back in a few days without them being notified.

I thought that was already the standard? Most people here in Sweden I have talked to do like that. It first charges to some threshold and then automatically the rest when it is as cheap as possible.

You just configure a time in the morning you want it to be fully charged and the charger do the rest.

Edit, people with their own house and thereby their own charger.

Back when I ordered a Quest 2 I had to use a space somewhere in my zip code for it to work. Like "123 45" or "12 345". Do not remember the variant that worked!

Selecting Pretzel24 as payment method redirects to https://go.przelewy24.pl/ where in turn you choose between different banks. I guess it is a Polish service for direct bank payments?

I have taken scooters where I would otherwise have taken a taxi. A minority of my rides though.

> This pseudo-security measure actually only slows down humans, not bots, because you can still edit the value of the text field using Javascript (and in fact it's easier to do it that way if you know how).

Surely this is to prevent keyloggers, no slowing down bots. With that said it is questionable if it is worth it. People would probably pick less secure password as a result.

For websites, do you have examples where it outperform Amazon's own solution? https://www.amazon.com/sendtokindle/

How often do one change IP when on cellular? I have no idea, but seems like it might become a problem. Probably worth the trade-off though.

Coinbase had an ad during superbowl (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zLsUhOCqyU) which was just a QR-code moving around on the screen.

Afterwards Twitter was full of security people complaining this teaches people to scan random QR-codes, and that this apparently moved security awareness back several years.

I thought that by now "everyone" had seen this part of the discussion, but it seems like I was wrong and it was just my little Twitter bubble.

The post mentions a few subscription services, Google One being one of them. That gives extra storage in Gmail and access to Google support. By then I would definitely say that you are a paying customer.

Those are too thick for my laptop, so I use these adhesive stickers instead: https://supporters.eff.org/shop/laptop-camera-cover-set-ii

Limiting other diseases is relevant as well though, as the goal is to not overload hospitals during a pandemic.

(+ just getting a cold is really annoying since I would need to quarantine more than I would with a cold before covid)
