Oh I do this all the time when I forget the shop list yet I've gone shopping, I just kinda stand still, lean against something, imagine I'm looking in the fridge, cupboards, bathroom, cabinets etc and identify the places for each item and then try to remember how much is left.
I generally end up getting most of the stuff on the list.
Lovely, I just love a phone I can't hold easily. I rest my thumb on my physical home button ALL THE TIME to stabilise the phone in my hand. That's INCLUDING the sling grips (google them) I use on the back of the case to keep it stable.
Nothing more ghastly than a home button I can't rest on as it's thinking it's being pressed.
I'm now in the minority on this, my current phone has it, the next Samsung is finally doing away with it (and I'll be doing away, with the next Samsung)
I dislike this trend and I will spend my money where I can find what I'm looking for. This is otherwise a fairly stylish phone but basically utterly impractical.
That's actually complete bullshit which mainstream left media pushed and hammered around as usual.
I've done some reading into this and there's several leaps to conclusions made as part of this story.
Firstly, we don't know that Palmer had any knowledge of the activities of this group other than "meme magic" and general internet trollery and sillyness, a far far fucking cry from genuine Nazi / racist posts that the group is accused of.
Secondly, upon doing some reading, I can't find any evidence that this group did anything than produce one single lame billboard which simply said "too big to jail". Seriously, I had real difficulty finding actual evidence of what they produced, infact on my search all I found was a couple of posts by people saying exactly the same thing "What did these people actually do?" and thus far, no one can provide anything but one lame billboard.
It's entirely possible infact that Palmer was actually simply ripped off by Nimble America and the only way they stopped him litigating / calling them out is doing the billboard.
While Palmer said some dumb trolly stuff, considering his age and reflecting on myself, I've said dumb, hyperboilic trolly shit online over the years when younger too.
I suspect he did lie about being a Gary Johnson voter and he did infact vote Trump. I suspect he owned the Reddit account he was accused of owning, which said some lame and stupid things if I recall about democracy.
All said and done though, what he does with his PERSONAL money in his own time is none of my business, it was kinda dumb and handled poorly but until someone can actually provide for me irrefutable evidence that he ACTUALLY KNEW that this was a "Neo Nazi" group AND some evidence of their "Neo Nazi" postings and work, then I don't know what to say, just people leaping to conclusions because "I hate Trump, all righties are Nazis!"
(Note: Not an American, I have nothing in this game, except I am sick to high heavens of misrepresentations of the truth in media, be it omitting details, exaggerating details, clickbait headlines, leaps to conclusions and other such things.)
Note 2: If you can and will provide evidence that Nimble America really genuinely produced nasty shit, I'll gladly apologise, however I still may not be convinced Palmer was actively aware of this and pushing it. Possible but nothing anyone can ever know for certain.
I'm just going to say it... "Toxic" is a social justice flag word. Like over use of "gross" or "icky" or referring to people as babies "shitlords" "edgelords" or "shitbirds" and so on.
Now that we've established potential bias here, we need to define "Toxic"? Is that simply not agreeing with the status quo? Is an opposing opinion debating a topic deemed "Toxic"?
Follow the money, follow the power, follow the influence.
Do you guys think for a mother fucking SECOND if this was some tinpot little country, smaller than New Zealand, this would happen? Do you think, if NZ pushed for this, from an American, this would happen?
I'm not going to find the post or do the figures (sorry!)
What I've read and seen mathematically proven is that low interest rates don't mean squat, if the houses are _insanely expensive_ .
When the figures are worked out with old interest rates (but old housing prices too) vs new interest rates and new housing prices, it's actually beter to have the high interest rate on a low base figure than the opposite.
NOTE: I'm from your generation too fwiw and I didn't buy in my city due to insane prices which have continued to go,.. insane.
I'll be damned if I'm moving, I'm in Australia so landlords can and will increase the rent but/generally/ don't do it as much if you've been there a while, just small little increases.
Had I left my place and shopped around, I have ZERO doubt my place would be 20 to 40% more expensive.
The landlords are loving fucking the rental class, fuck that.
I mean I don't like banks but I'd assume this is Apples doing? They must be pushing for something ridiculous in some way, because Android Pay appears to use the standard Pay-Wave technology of normal cards. I'm normally very much a luddite on this stuff but I thought I'd give it a shot and I hate to admit, it's genuinely better than cash, purely from a "wow, it's even quicker than cash" perspective. (I've *always* hated cards normally, because I'm stuck behind idiots taking forever with PIN# business or swiping a different card, etc)
None the less it's literally faster than cash, it's a very very fast transaction and (to my knowledge) any place with Pay-Wave (very common) works fine. I believe Pay-Wave is just our contactless card thing, you guys might call it something else.
(NOTE: I hear you guys in the US have only just got the card tap and pay stuff? We have it in I would say at least 90% of places in the metro / city areas and maybe 60 or 70% out in the country regions)
^^^^ He's transcended 'doing good for everyone' as a social justice person and become full warrior bastard, saying ignorant, shitty things about others because X is opressed, Y must be evil.
He's become the brat people accused him of being all those years ago, fuck him.
Yeap, he's turned into a smarmy little bastard, fuck him, seriously. I've posted why previously, people perpetuating shared blocklists of groupthink are wankers.
You're going to continue noticing it, it's currently incredibly hip to hate on white people, ironically,.. generally articles written by white people.
So so so many articles about X or Y or Z just happen to mention race or gender out of nowhere, once you actually notice what's going on (as you have) you can't help but continue noticing it, there's an onslaught of anti-white, anti-men articles all the time.
My local city newspaper has at least 1 editorial a week which is ridiculously biased / shaming / guilt focused, they just slide it in there. I too, get really sick of this shit.
I will not be upgrading my plasma until there's a superior option, it's as simple as that. OLED does sound good but burn in (like plasma, and yes, plasma does burn in, even the final models)
I'm patient, she's still humming along ok, I think I'll get another 3 years out of my Panasonic 65". I want exceptional blacks, fantastic colour range, a non flickery display, movement that doesn't look weird. I want interpolation which can be disabled. Considering where the TV market has gone the past 12 months and game consoles, I pretty much 'demand' HDR as well as 4k.
So, I'll wait, I'll wait a long time until they sort it all out. P.S all this "but this new LCD / LED trick makes them amazing!" yeah no. Just no. The blacks don't cut it in a dark room, not even close.
They don't mirror the content and it's been going on for multiple years, I'm so fucking sick of it. Sorry but these people are moronic, it's the internet for fucks sake, there are no borders.
Does anyone with a god damn clue have some kind of contact there, how to stop these assholes doing this stupid shit?
It's still atrociously slow, atrociously. Infact there's a either a bug with one of my plugins or something but I've deliberately endured it for nearly 8 weeks, hoping my feedback data is going in the bloody logs somewhere to help.
I run about 6 or 7 plugins which are all fairly common and I have run the same ones for 3 to 5 years. They worked fine on my last profile rebuild but this most recent one was broken/out of the gate/
It's so bad i'm using chrome primarily. Firefox performance frustrates me absoloutely no end and I've been running e10s, 64bit nightlys now for over 6 months. Infact, except for the last 4 weeks, the ironic (?) / odd thing is, nightly has been RIDICULOUSLY stable for a piece of nightly code. It's just plain stable. It's just slow as heck. I don't know what idiot legacy code is in Firefox but they seriously need a scrum or party or a bonus or something and the whole fucking team *STOPS* for 3 weeks solid and focuses on NOTHING but performance, performance, performance. If you check my slashdot post history, I've been whining about Firefox performance for over 3 years.
It's ridiculous, stop adding features, just stop. Make the damn thing fast. Because Chrome destroys firefox and I'm now running a HEAP of Chrome addons (which I never knew existed) to replicate my Firefox functionality and I'm very, very close to full replication now (Firefox: Tab Mix Plus is bloody hard to replicate, requires multiple poor addons to be configured right)
Seriously, just stop whatever is going on Mozilla devs and bring in "The Carmack" or the equivalent at coding. Scrap something old, I don't care but something is fundamentally wrong when a 24GB memory, quad core machine can run so poorly with a browser.
The GPUs are in some cases (often in my country) about 65 to 75% of the price of the nvidia options but 75 to 95% as fast...... they are often a no brainer product.
The CPUs however are atrocious, AMD offers nothing and has offered nothing in a heck of a long time, their new stuff best be significantly better or in the very least, quite a bit better and MUCH cheaper than Intel

I agree with you, I recall those days fondly - and being able to navigate the tree for other useful files you might need or previous versions but times have changed.
What's unfortunate is such files disapear so regularly due to shit like this, it's a shame there's not a single driver repository which is trusted by so many manufacturers it becomes the defacto place to post drivers and KEEP drivers indefinitely.
Absofuckingloutely entirely this. Little BIOS updates to old hardware, links found on some obscure forum and files obscenely difficult to find. I stumble across at LEAST 10 of these kinds of files a year and those are the ones I notice.
Dropbox has slowly gone down the tubes for years, god they are awful.
I have an Intel Quad Core, non HT CPU in both my PCs - one a 4590 other a 4690, I think. They run ok, pretty well, DDR3 - but they are still not 'snappy' enough for some operations.
I want things blisteringly fast and I want Windows to NEVER slow down. I don't care what it takes, I don't know enough about tech, I just want it. Do I need a faster south or northbridge? Do I need more IO? Do I need the OS re-written to have a DEDICATED CPU at all times for 'basic usability' ?
Apple (generally) has the UI as the highest priority no matter what and trickery to make their devices responsive, even when they aren't. I want this in Windows, somehow. I want to do some intensive CPU stuff over here, run a VM there, Firefox with 2000 tabs here and if it's in the god damned foreground, have it be damned responsive.
I've got 24GB, my next machine will be 32GB of DDR4, I don't knwo how many cores or what chipset I need, just deliver it.
Also, sidenote, my AMD Microserver running FreeNAS has been great, but man I'd love an ECC DDR4, 4 core compatible machine which can run in low power mode AND ramp up to high intensity at a reasonable price.
Considering the removal of the headphone jack, surely this would have been a nice olive branch to say they have the latest and greatest. Plus they generally adopt new tech very quickly
