I bought a new phone a couple months ago and on the first setup it installed their app. Then when I traveled soon after the eSim I was using installed something else when I connected to that network.

Is this even a thing you can avoid anymore? You connect to the network with their SIM installed and it immediately downloads the apps they say you need.

This is what the Core One should have been from day one. I was wondering what Prusa was thinking when they released the Core One without doing anything to make it competitive in a market that had moved onto larger build plates and AMS units.

Their claims of larger print size always pissed me off, Z height is the least useful dimension on a printer.

Why would you delete a flagship? More choice and competition is always better, though these products are just way too similar, the industry needs more differentiation.

I went to 4K monitors many years ago and agree there is a big difference, that said there are a lot of issues with HiDPI monitors on desktop OSs, plus it requires a strong GPU for gaming. Since then I've gone to 1440p and think it is an ideal middle ground for performance while looking almost just as sharp.

This is actually an interesting point I hadn't thought about or see people considering with regards to the high investment cost into AI LLMs. Who blinks first when it comes to stopping investment into these systems if they don't prove to be commercially viable (or viable quick enough)? What happens to the West if China holds out for longer and is successful?

This is especially frustrating as a Canadian where our market isn't big enough to have options for a lot of specific goods. I'll look to buy something and pick what I want only to find that the choices are Amazon or a US retailer with insane shipping costs plus potential customs charges to Canada. Even if I do find a Canadian retailer that sells it, shipping is often more than the product itself.

I've started ordering a bit more from Aliexpress, especially for things less than $20 since shipping is usually free or a couple dollars. Otherwise larger stores in my area like Best Buy, London Drugs and Canadian Tire.

Lots of people will, I've had the discussion with multiple people bemoaning that that will have to upgrade because their computer isn't compatible who. Have zero interest in learning a new OS. Heck my father has a laptop good enough for everything he does already and was talking about upgrading his desktop because it isn't compatible.

This is effectively impossible. Time in the market beats trying to time the market because it is hard to identify the dip until you have already exited it.

When, no matter how long it has been since you saw each other last it is like you saw them yesterday.

I've become fed up with a job I've had for a long time. I'm confused about what I even want to do because the changes and decisions that management keeps making has me burnt out at even the concept of my job.

I've known for well over a year that it is time to make a change, but that has gotten much more urgent recently. The problem is that it's really haste to leave a well paying job for another I doubt will pay as well.

Apple TV isn't compatible with some of the services that I use so h That isn't an option either.
