think of the shareholders
  • Lots of, but not the majority. They could have picked many other things that would seem fun for much larger groups of people, but that would be counterproductive for trying to convince you to work forever.

    edit: note that I live on a vacation destination for golf and cruises, and this is still my impression.

  • Help with Bluetooth on Pop!_OS
  • I think the point is the number of times someone is having such an issue, and those people show up to proclaim they’ve never had such problems as if it’s helpful. So, at least you can recognize it’s not.

  • Maui is currently flooding with helicopter rescues, I used to live on this street

    These videos were from 4 hours ago and there’s still torrential rain now.

    edit: in case anyone is wondering, no, I am not mattweiss

    edit: so this is how it’s been going… it rained most of last night, started the morning with flood warnings until 8:30am, then was revised to 11:30am, then again until 7:15pm. It is currently 7:22p, and no end in sight yet.

    Part of the problem is a phenomenon called “training”, where instead of storms just passing through, they’ll get stuck on the mountain and will pass over the same areas multiple times like a train on tracks. You just have to hope something eventually changes to blow itself off and away from the track.

    Get Humble Choice and other package titles for cheaper

    tl;dr: key shops... use https://gg.deals as a finder

    For those who didn't know, whenever Humble Bundle or other services have a package available, you can usually find the individual titles for even cheaper than you normally would at keyshops if you don't want/need the whole package.

    For example, this month's Humble Choice is $11.99, but I only wanted to add Aragami 2, The Red Lantern, and Twin Mirror to my collection.

    Using the above gg.deals website, it pointed me to:

    • Aragami 2 - driffle - $2.41
    • The Red Lantern - kinguin - $0.78
    • Twin Mirror - kinguin - $1.27

    Total: $4.46

    Those prices were the final I paid after discount codes and service fees, but may change at any time for better or worse at different shops.

    Hope this is helpful to someone, this concludes this PSA.

    edit: regarding possible scams from gray markets

    I have purchased literally hundreds of steam keys from such shops over the years and have had a grand total of only 3 keys be removed from my account within days or weeks, and was granted refunds from the shops when I provided proof from Steam that the keys were rejected as duplicates. Every game I’ve installed other than those 3 have worked without issues. It’s an educated risk that I failed to mention because it’s been over 99% successful for me. Make your own call.

    edit2: Also worth mentioning that there are many games in my Steam account that were added after the games were delisted, such as the original GTA Trilogy, solely because I could still find keys on keyshops. If you want a delisted game, it’s worth considering.

    Tesla removes Disney+ from vehicles amid Elon Musk’s Twitter beef with Bob Iger

    Tesla removes Disney+ from vehicles amid Elon Musk's Twitter beef with Bob Iger

    > Electrek heard from a source that Tesla informed Disney+ last week that it would remove its native app from the Tesla Theatre in its vehicles without giving a reason as to why.

    > A few days later, Tesla told Disney that it would only remove the app for Tesla owners who never used the app before.

    > The automaker now appears to have acted on the threat, as many Tesla owners are reporting not seeing the Disney+ app in Tesla Theatre anymore. Others, presumably those who have used the app before, are still seeing the app available in their cars.

    > We were told that Tesla didn’t officially give a reason to Disney, but the message was sort of “read between the lines.”

    Whelp, I see what everyone means about the NinjaCentral admins.

    Got my account, logged in and navigated the website at least once every two or three days to get a lay of the land before doing anything with it, still got deleted. At least I assume that's what happened.

    Trump Caught Moving Money Around to Pay Massive Tax Bill
    www.thedailybeast.com Trump Caught Moving Money Around to Pay Massive Tax Bill

    Trump wasn't supposed to be moving significant amounts of money around without notifying a court-appointed auditor. He just got caught paying himself so he could pay his taxes.

    Trump Caught Moving Money Around to Pay Massive Tax Bill

    A court-ordered financial auditor has caught Donald Trump quietly moving $40 million from the Trump Organization into a personal bank account—seemingly so the former president could pay his whopping $29 million tax bill.

    Trump isn’t supposed to be moving any money around without alerting Barbara S. Jones, a former federal judge in New York tasked with babysitting the Trump Organization for its relentlessly shady business practices. But on Wednesday, she notified a New York state court about some major bank transfers that were never brought to her attention by the Trumps.

    At Meta, Millions of Underage Users Were an ‘Open Secret,’ States Say

    > Meta has received more than 1.1 million reports of users under the age of 13 on its Instagram platform since early 2019 yet it “disabled only a fraction” of those accounts, according to a newly unsealed legal complaint against the company brought by the attorneys general of 33 states.

    > Instead, the social media giant “routinely continued to collect” children’s personal information, like their locations and email addresses, without parental permission, in violation of a federal children’s privacy law, according to the court filing. Meta could face hundreds of millions of dollars, or more, in civil penalties should the states prove the allegations.
