México. Everyone uses whatsapp. For personal communication or work. Businesses have their accounts you can order stuff through. Nobody uses SMS or pretty much any other chat app.
It is a developing technology. Good that they find these decrements in accuracy early so that they are understood and worked out. Of course there may be something nefarious going on behind the scenes where they may be trying to commercialize different models by tiers or something a brainless market oriented CEO thought of. Hope not. Time will tell…
My main interest is the preservation of media history. To that end, I am looking for a good source of PS2 files so that I can catalog and archive them into a dedicated USB HDD.

Hundreds of other countries in the world sell these over the counter. That means millions of users across dozens of years across the globe. As long as you follow the directions on the packet, like any other medication you can buy OTC, it is safe. Validated by millions of people.
“Standards for the exact length of an inch have varied in the past, but since the adoption of the international yard during the 1950s and 1960s the inch has been based on the metric system and defined as exactly 25.4 mm.”
Last Christmas one of my office coworkers brother died from a fireworks explosion. It was tragic. Aparently, they had made a bigger firework by combining the powder of smaller ones. He had in his hand when it went off. He spent about 10 days in the hospital before succumbing to his injuries near his abdomen and hands. RIP.
For context, I live in Hong Kong where most people drink tap water after boiling first. Some may install water filter but may still boil the water. Very few drink bottle water unless they’re outside and too lazy to bring their own bottles....
México. NO. Do not drink the tap water. Boiling does not help. It has a bunch of heavy metals and other contaminants in it. It sucks because mechanical filtering is incapable of removing them effectively. Reverse osmosis does but it is a challenging and expensive process to properly keep in your house. We always buy bottled water. Trucks deliver twice a week.
It's not just me then... I consider myself tech savvy and I have such a hard time finding the message that notified me. Getting back to an old message is just impossible for me.
Similar boat. Wife doesn't like gaming but I do. She loves being on Instagram and I don't dare touch that crap with a 10 foot pole. But we want each other to be happy so she Instagrams and I game and we are both happy. I show her some gaming moments and she feigns awe and interest. She shows me some instgrammer and a feign awe and interest. It works because we are respectful of each other's likes.

I read somewhere that this an evolutionary trait that developed back from when we hung out in small groups. Empathy was only useful as a species when we could act upon said small group. Increase the group size and we find no additional benefit on having empathy for the unknown extended group.
It kinda makes sense. Read on the news 300,000 dead! . Or 250,000 dead! There is no difference on the empathic response although one has 50,000 more dead people. Read 1 kid is suffering and your heart tears to pieces.
I stopped reddit usage altogether. Like you. A statement to myself really. But a righteous one because I am standing with the good guys here. And I feel good about myself.
Anyone with a link to the trailer? I know I could just Google it but part of a rich experience when reading comments is links to sources and other QOL stuff.

I have been here for a few weeks. The state of the communities then and now is like black and white. Huge growth. That is excellent news.
The thing is it is a complicated setup. I can’t, for some reason, find some communities in search from others. And I consider myself tech savvy. That is a barrier for new users to overcome and it might be too much.

Can you easily communicate in your country (business/private life) without being involuntarily forced to use whatsapp?
… is it possible to do any kind of business and/or have regular conversations without having to use whatsapp as a main way of communication?...
I've noticed that lemmy as a whole is much more leftist than reddit (outside of political servers of course)
I can’t really think of a reason for that as Reddit is hated somewhat equally by “both” sides of the spectrum. It’s just something I find interesting.

I've forgotten the password to a word .docx file I made 9 months ago, is there any chance I can get in without knowing it?
Brute forcing would be fine, since I don’t think I would’ve used a long password for this, but I don’t know how to automate that either. Any ideas?
