LanternEverywhere,

It's not valid. Peach is labeled 77% but occupies 20% of the pie.

This chart with these labels is definitely invalid. The dataset it's based on is coherent, but the labeled pie chart is invalid

LanternEverywhere,

LanternEverywhere,

Looks nice but probably too many details to work at smaller sizes. A single large leaf instead of the whole leafy stem would convey the same visual concept.

LanternEverywhere,

Huh? I just looked up "fade" on urban dictionary and none of the top hits say ot means face.

LanternEverywhere,

Oh i gotcha now, yeah that that's plausible

Would you say Apple is in a slump?

With the VisionPro hype already dead (maybe forever?), bad or tasteless iPad ads, purposeless updates to iPad, Apple dropping their car project, and reaching out to OpenAI or Google for AI services … it certainly feels like it to me. They’ve at least run into their limitations recently however much they want to find the...

LanternEverywhere,

From a financial standpoint i would never bet against them, but personally i haven't liked the direction they've gone since Jobs died. But I'm obviously in the minority, because they've sold gabillions under Cook, including brand new product categories like the watch, airpods, and apple music. IMO none of those are particularly special, but whether it's Apple's marketing machine or something i dunno, but the fact is those are all new product categories and they've all sold very well.

So in order to get a refund, Walmart wants the customer to hold on to a gloppy mess, and then have them personally travel to a store to bring the glop into a brick n mortar location, for a product that they paid to have Walmart deliver to their house, all just for walmart to refund the customer a measly 8 dollars back, for a fuck up that was all Walmart's fault?

That's insanity.

In all the other grocery delivery services, when a customer calls in to report that an item is missing or damaged then the company simply refunds the customer for that item, no questions asked. Which is obviously the correct way to do things.

This person was NOT being unreasonable. If you were the customer service person in this conversation then i would double check that you're actually following Walmart's procedures for damaged inexpensive food items.

It would be super useful.

When you want to draw something you go to tablet mode and use the pencil. - When the drawing you made needs some editing that iPad software can't do then you switch to mac os mode and finalize the drawing.

Do some programming in mac mode because programming on ipad is extremely limited. - Then when you're done coding you switch to tablet mode and relax with some touch based jigsaw puzzle games.

When you have to use the windows-only programs that work mandates you have to use then you go to mac mode with attached keyboard and run it through parallels. - Then that evening you switch to tablet mode and chill in bed reading a comic book.

Etc etc etc.

All the things that are better done on a mac, and all the things that are better done on an iPad, they all have no reason for existing on separate hardware

LanternEverywhere,

It doesn't have to have software that runs in both. All it needs is a toggle to switch between ipad os mode, and mac os mode. That's literally all it needs. In ipad mode it's just ipad os. In mac mode its just mac os. Mac mode would require a hardware keyboard and pointer device, not touch screen.

LanternEverywhere,

You clearly misunderstood the post. What do you think this post is saying?

LanternEverywhere,

It's amazing how very far ahead siri was at the beginning, and how extremely far behind it became. It's a massive miss for Tim Cook's Apple

Don't forget to back up to other additional drives!

Consolidating all your data into one drive is very convenient, but if you aren't backing it all up then it's only a matter of time until you lose everything. If you're gonna have a bunch of small drives hanging out you can use them as a backup. You could even set them up into a RAID, but I've never actually done that so i can't vouch for it

LanternEverywhere,

"best" depends on the particulars of your situation. Cloud backup is one of the easiest but over time can be expensive. In the long run buying a second same-sized drive is cheaper than online backup, but it requires more money up front, and having the original and backup in the same physical location doesn't protect against local disasters like a waterpipe bursting flood. There are specialized tape drives for backups, which are cheap per mb and so you can make lots of separate backups which makes your data safer, but they're very slow to read and write. And there's other option too, like optical disks, raid arrays, etc.

Best i can really say is to do some online research to figure out what's right for your particular case.

LanternEverywhere,

Seagate have always worked perfectly for me (knock on wood). And to avoid counterfeits i only buy hard drives from a physical store of a large retailer chain. You'll pay a little bit more, but really only a very little more, and you'll know that what you're buying is an authentic drive that came directly from the manufacturer

LanternEverywhere,

Very interesting to know, but i just looked it up and it still seems expensive in the long run. Azure's cheapest storage tier is 1 dollar per TB per month. So 5 TB of backup would cost 60 bucks a year, but a 5 TB drive costs about 120 bucks. So after 2 years of cloud backup it costs you an extra 60 bucks a year every year vs. if you just bought a hard drive.

Oy ha

who is on Lemmy (the sociology of Lemmy)

I dont know if this has been asked before or if this may be a little goofy of a question but I didn’t see anything relating to it and I’m kinda curious what the culture of Lemmy is like and what sort of common things people see. ive been paying attention to interactions but nothing is as good as just asking everyone.

LanternEverywhere,

Absolutely! More recent memories are much easier to recall. In the hours leading up to the test you should be again reviewing the material. Exactly like you said, there have been many times when i got an answer right instead of wrong purely because i had just re-read that info again a few minutes before the test. This is especially true for a test that requires a lot of memorization.

LanternEverywhere,

Bike ride outdoors. Stationary bike doesn't boost mood for me, only actually biking through space does it.

LanternEverywhere,

Ooo that's a great one! Helping someone else makes me feel good basically 100% of the times i do it. And it doesn't even have to be a major help, or even a moderate help, just helping someone in a minor way gives me a good feeling.

The whole topic of drugs could easily be covered in 30 minutes. The only thing people under 18 need to know is this:

  1. There are a large variety of different recreational drugs, each of which make you feel a different way, and which come with their own set of different risks and benefits
  1. At some point when you're older it may be reasonable for you to try some particular drugs, but there are some drugs which are never safe for anyone at any age
  1. No drugs are safe for you to do yet. Your brain is still in a developing phase, and drugs that might be safe for you to do later will be very harmful to you at this age. Even though taking a drug might make you feel good in the very short term moment, it very likely could make your growing brain become depressed as soon as you come down from the drug, and this can become intense sadness that you feel for the rest of your life.

So for now just know that drugs is a complex topic that you can learn more about later when you're older, but for now the details don't matter because all drugs will be harmful to you right now while your brain is still growing
