I’ve fit an entire Nintendo Switch in my pocket before

It’s often the fastest and most convenient method to send a file between two computers or phones (provided both are Apple products).

What I’m wondering now is, does the target app have to keep running to receive those messages?

No it doesn’t. What’s happening is target’s webserver sends a message to Google’s webserver, which sends a message to your phone, which is displayed by the OS. The Target app doesn’t need to be launched for this and won’t be launched unless you tap on the notification, which typically launches the associated app.

That means it’s potentially continuously collecting the phone’s location.

Target’s app isn’t doing this, although they probably do record what you bought from which target and when.

Google can / probably is continuously collecting the phone’s location, to some extent. Your cell service company can do this too.

B and E can be fixed with settings to auto-hide both the top bar and the dock. You can also change the size of the dock to be small if you don’t want to fully hide it. You also have equivalent problems on any OS if you don’t have similar settings.

C and D I’ve experienced in Ubuntu as well. For what it’s worth, while I do find C annoying at times, I find D can actually make it easier to deal with full-screen applications than in windows. In macOS or Ubuntu I can just switch spaces away from the full screen app, while in windows I have to tab out, which sometimes works, sometimes partially works, sometimes doesn’t really work, and sometimes lags a lot before one of the above. Tbf I’m least experienced in Windows and haven’t really tried their version of the multiple desktops thing.

Honestly I think “maximize window” and “make full screen” should be separate behaviors. Sometimes you can get “maximize window” behavior in macOS by double-tapping the top bar of a window. But in both macOS and Ubuntu I use a 3rd party window manager app to help me arrange windows more efficiently.

I’ve definitely encountered A and the even worse problem of a window being stuck on a non-existent display before. I don’t think I’ve encountered it more in macOS than other OSes but I’m not sure. I have one Ubuntu install that has a particularly consistent problem where by default the external monitor and the built-in monitor overlap, which causes some weird behavior, but there is some other weirdness about that install tbf.

Right

MacOS is trash. An OS’ primary job is managing applications and their windows and MacOS provides the most utterly unintuitive and non functional UX, the instant you plug in an external monitor.

How is MacOS’s window and external monitor behavior different from everything else?

Can’t say that about my Ubuntu installation

When it’s 3am and you aren’t certain if the head started to turn or not…

It’s a thing that’s been happening a lot over the past few years where US politicians refuse to sign bills that approve government spending (such as continuing to pay government employees) until their demands about some unrelated thing are met.

Hay mensaje secreta como el libro “Magic Eye”.

La mensaje es “te quiero mucho Africa”.

Not programming skills, but sysadmin skills.

Buy a used server on EBay (companies often sell their old servers for cheap when they upgrade). Buy a bunch of HDDs. Install Linux and set up the HDDs in a ZFS pool.

Random access times are probably similar to smaller drives but writing the whole drive is going to be slow

Can’t you run LLMs on 4090/5090 maybe 5080? Basically any Nvidia card with 24GB+ of VRAM?

Sometimes if you reload the page a few times it will work.

But yeah it’s been getting worse.

Ciri’s medallion in the trailer was a Lynx medallion. It’s probable we will see a new character that’s a Lynx witcher, maybe either a student or teacher to Ciri.

Also rocks can be valuable too

Put the toy quad copters you can get at Costco on there

From my experience, if the first layer doesn’t come out well, the print will fail.

And yet used Nintendo games rarely ever go down in value, and eventually tend to go up.
