That looks to me more like it’s Amazon removing them, assuming that’s happening when you load the page. They probably remove them so that people don’t copy and share affiliated links so that they don’t have to pay out more to their affiliates program.

Heh, I can actually pick myself out in that picture.

And just to confirm, yes, it was really fucking cold out.

You don’t use fabric softener or dryer sheets, do you? If you do, your cloth has a layer of wax on it that acts as a release agent on your bed.

Lemmy makes the /c/ format into a link to the community in my instance, FWIW.

The coins themselves don’t have any monetary value. […] And then, the creators, etc. that you pay, would then be able to cash out those coins for real currency.

The ability to ‘cash out’ means they do have monetary value.

If you use paper towels to clean your bed: Do your paper towels feel ‘papery’? If not they might be waxed.

If you use reusable towels to clean your bed: Do you use fabric softener? Don’t.

Heroic and Lutris are both what you’re describing.

I think it may also be possible to install GOG Galaxy in bottles and use that directly, but I’ve never tried that myself.

🤷, embedded device manufacturers were really bad at software back then. I honestly don’t remember the details anymore.

Yeah, to be fair, there was an issue getting string.h to work (so i could just use strstr) with the vendor’s shitty toolchain, that took me talking to an engineer at the vendor, and the dev who wrote that was out of our Taiwan office. But also, my first fix was just doing a sort of sliding-window check, manually checing for s[0] == '\n' && s[1] == 'C' && s[2] == 'o' &&..., which was gross, but much more correct.

I worked at an IoT platform startup. All of our embedded device demos stopped working August 1st. I was told the same thing happened last year, but it was fine, things would start working in September. I decided to go fix it anyway. Eventually I figured out the culprit was a custom HTTP library. Instead of doing anything sensible, the way it found the Content-Length header was to loop over the bytes of the response until it found the first ‘g’ add 5 to that pointer and then assume that whatever was there was the number of bytes it should read. Unfortunately, HTTP responses have a Date header which includes the month and August has a ‘g’ in it.

There were a bunch of these demo devices already flashed and shipped out. The ‘fix’ to get them to work, even in August, was to downgrade requests to HTTP 0.9 which didn’t require a Date header in the response.

This means that in most cases you’re automatically a Canadian citizen if you were born

• before December 15, 2025
• outside Canada to a Canadian parent

This rule also applies to you if you were born to someone who became Canadian because of these rule changes.

Is it legal for a business in the United States to refuse cash as a form of payment?

There is no federal statute mandating that a private business, a person, or an organization must accept currency or coins as payment for goods or services. Private businesses are free to develop their own policies on whether to accept cash unless there is a state law that says otherwise.

A few states have introduced bills to require taking cash (Idaho, Mississippi and North Dakota), but as far as I’m aware none have ever actually passed into law.

That’s not really relevant here yet. GP doesnt have a “debt” before the transaction takes place. Nothing about that statement forces a business to do business with you. They are perfectly within their rights to only agree to do business with you if you pay in chickens.

Though, it looks like it won’t auto-migrate. So it’ll stay directly in your home dir unless you reinstall or move it yourself.

A crucial point was ensuring that all layers were deposited at or near room temperature, thus […] [allowing] the use of plastic or polymer substrates, opening the door to the flexible electronics of the future.

So, to answer the headline, no. This isn’t about the top end, its more about the bottom end I guess?

Plastic layers don’t sound great for heat dissipation or max temp, but still very interesting for miniaturization of low end stuff.

I watched the whole thing, it definitely is.

That video is constantly making “is causing” type statements, but I haven’t found a single one of their cited studies that claims a causal link every single one I looked at is just “is associated with” claims.

Their own sources even directly contradict what they’re saying in some of them.

They say:

Weed can damage your ability to regulate your emotions and can worsen anxiety or depressive feelings and can escalate into serious mental disorders.

Their source says:

Conclusion: The association between cannabis and anxiety is best explained by anxiety predisposing individuals toward CU as a method of self-medication. A causal relationship in which CU causes AD incidence is less likely despite multiple longitudinal studies suggesting so.”

I’ll second the thrift store suggestion. I picked up a Samsung BD-H5100 bluray player at the local FreeGreek for $5 and it has been nice to just pop a disc in and not worry about all the streaming shenanigans.

I’d say you might as well look for a bluray player. Second hand bluray discs are some times cheaper than the DVDs and sometimes the quality bump is nice. IMO, 4k bluray isn’t worth it. I’ve watched a few 4k blurays and while I can tell there’s a difference I’ve never felt myself missing the extra quality when watching a normal bluray.

Another option to consider is an old game console. Anything back to the ps3 has a bluray drive. (Though, not the xbox360, iirc? Also at one point Microsoft forced you to make an account and buy a license to watch blurays, so make sure that’s not a thing for any game console you consider.) And I know at least the ps3 had an official remote you could buy so you didn’t have to use a controller.

From a privacy perspective, all your options are the same as long as you don’t connect whatever you get to the internet.
