    Sounds like it's just another tool in a coding arsenal! As long as you take care to verify things like you did, I can't see why it'd be a bad idea. It's when you blindly trust that things go wrong.

    Not excusing the behaviour but I'd bet it's the amount of traffic people often sit through everyday along with the overall pace of life feeling faster.

    I'm lucky to work weird hours where traffic is almost zero, but personally, sitting in hours of traffic everyday to and from work would make me want to pull my hair out.

    "Expensive chinesium" and "cheap for a reason" doesn't add up.

    I feel like if the product was that bad or unreliable it simply wouldn't sell the way it has been.

    Sure cost plays a part but if it's cheap enough to be a buying factor, odds are it's cheap enough to buy outright or have it paid off early.

    Only operate when your side of the moon is dark or even near the poles where it can be coldest? I'm not sure what the plan is for daytime operations since it apparently gets really hot.

    No atmosphere up there to insulate so the temperatures fluctuate to extremes

    In this instance, I think people need to separate the art from the artist so to speak. The Chinese EV's are already doing well in other countries and it can't only be because they are cheaper though I'll admit that is likely a large factor. Why not buy the best product for your money?

  • Hey all, not sure if this is the right place but I figure someone here will be able to help. Windows Defender found something called "Trojan:Win32/Ashify.J!frn" and failed to quarantine it apparently. This was earlier today that it was detected and it affected a strange file under AppData/Roaming/T2GP Launcher/Steam/Cache/Prod/GpuCache to a text file called "index" with some weird changelogs for a gameboy advance emulator. No google results pointed to anything meaningful. Only a few posts suggesting the games launcher may have prompted a false positive, an old post about password protected files from 2022, and a malwarebytes warning from 2kgames spreading Red Line malware from 2022 as well. Just checking to see if anyone knows anything or has experienced something similar before!

    First time I hear about the Boox Palma, a phone-sized E-reader with Android and the Play Store, does anyone have it?

    Personally the attraction here with the boox is the e-ink screen. I also use my phone for reading pretty much everything but e-ink would be easier to look at for longer sessions.

    I've accidentally turned on backup this way and lost a ton of storage. Definitely an obnoxious way to push your product.

    There's still a few years to see how they fare in other countries before possibly arriving in North America if that's where you reside. Lots of time to deliberate!

    Ideally to drive the price of competing cars down or at the very least make the current models more feature rich/compelling than their cheaper Chinese counterparts to justify the price gap.

    As it stands, Chinese built EV's have feature parity for the most part with locally built or otherwise imported EV's. All at a relatively great price for the product.

    My guess is there is going to be some added weight for better cooling/heat sinks. You're right there's bound to be a catch since you can't typically out engineer laws of physics.

  • Any recommendations for an sport/activity tracking app? FOSS would be super but I'm open to all suggestions! I've been walking more and wondering just how far I've been going and at what pace. Thanks in advance!

    Hey folks, I made the switch to Android from iOS and I am looking for an equivalent to the iTunes store for buying music! Is there a good option or am I sort of shoe horned into subscribing to a streaming service? Edit: Thanks for all the replies everyone!

    Hey folks! Just microwaved my heat pad a little too long and the cherry pits ended up burning slightly. It was only a small portion of the bag but the smell is stuck to me and taking over the house! Any idea how to tame it? EDIT: Thanks for the replies everyone! I've had the windows open already but the vinegar was just placed so we'll see. Bowl eating and bag swallowing will be my next attempt if all else fails.

    ![]()I passed this place [here](https://maps.app.goo.gl/QrS3iE48Y6kPpZ4o8) earlier and couldn't find any information about it online. It's the lot with the brick wall. Just wondering if one of you folks might have an idea of what it could be!
