Sounds like the battery itself will have a QR code, so I imagine manufacturers of interchangeable packs will have to print the QR code on the battery pack itself.
- Comment on Proton Mail says that the new Outlook app for Windows is Microsoft's new data collection service 10 months ago:
But better for touch and simpler than windows mail?
I am only using Outlook for work email.
- Comment on Proton Mail says that the new Outlook app for Windows is Microsoft's new data collection service 10 months ago:
Isn’t that more of a replacement for Outlook? It doesn’t look designed around touch like the windows mail app.
- Comment on Proton Mail says that the new Outlook app for Windows is Microsoft's new data collection service 10 months ago:
I’m waiting for Microsoft to bring back the option to move the taskbar to the side of the screen before upgrading to windows 11 from 10.
I may switch to Linux if IT forces the update and I can’t stop it.
- Comment on Proton Mail says that the new Outlook app for Windows is Microsoft's new data collection service 10 months ago:
No shit. There’s a reason they are killing the nice and simple Windows Mail app; it allows you to sync with your email without Microsoft servers between.
Also, the biggest issue for me is the UX. I use outlook for my work email and like to separate my work and personal life, so soon I just won’t have an app for my personal email on my PC.
If anyone knows of a similar windows mail app with good touch support and without such a traditional mouse designed UI, please share it.

Okay so in reality you don’t complete the entire frame before starting anything else. It may be 90% complete after initial sorting and flipping of pieces, so there are gaps in the border through which you can move finished portions.
Additionally, I would typically keep most of the unsorted pieces outside the frame and then build portions inside the frame.
- Comment on puzzling 10 months ago:
The “normal” way of starting a puzzle is to start with the edges. You can find the edge pieces easier due to the flat side, which makes it a good place to start when you have many pieces.
You have to spread all the pieces out when you get them out of the box, so it makes sense to separate out the edge pieces while you’re spreading and flipping pieces.

- Comment on The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition | Free on Epic Game 10 months ago:
As far as I remember from the DF review, the spacer’s edition “remaster” isn’t any good. You’re better off playing the original game.
Though maybe only the spacer’s choice edition is free because no one bought it.

Maybe it is! If something is so over-inflated that it bursts, it would probably look deflated…

Are you implying that bowl cuts weren’t cringe 20 years ago? The top will at least be in style when they are wearing it.
- Comment on The salaries of Wikimedia executives are sparking an online debate about tech sector wages 11 months ago:
I don’t think execs at bigger companies should be paid more because it’s more complex, I think a big part of it is the pressure/stakes are higher because you have to answer to more employees/shareholders if you make the wrong decision.
In many cases their narcissistic personalities make this argument moot, but I wouldn’t want to be responsible for decisions that affect the lives of thousands of employees.

I see.
On another note, the way you linked the sub doesn’t work for me, should be: !hardware@lemmy.ml

- Comment on I hate that I am become this person but: are delivery drivers just allowed to call and say 'please come and meet me' now? 11 months ago:
I assume the people acting like this are doing it because I didn’t give them a tip before they did their job.
Either way, it’s just wasting their time; if they ring the front gate of the building and then just wait there for me to walk down, that’s worse than if they save themselves time by meeting me halfway.

- Comment on Nvidia Shield is getting Auro 3D audio support, full-screen ads 11 months ago:
If you read the article, it doesn’t sound like the ads and update are related. Some users are seeing ads. There is also an update coming soon.
If the ads are a server side change the update won’t do anything?

That’s Cowen, former Chief of the Genii.
Looks like he has a nice retirement.
- Comment on Choose wisely! 1 year ago:
Right. I seem to have confused myself.
Also another point is that it says “up to” 7 inches. Who knows if that distance is a choice or random.
- Comment on Choose wisely! 1 year ago:
But then you haven’t travelled 7 inches. If you want to measure how far someone has travelled, you measure the distance from a body part in one position to the same body part in the second position. If you measure from the back of the foot in one position why would you measure to the front of the foot in the other position?

- Comment on Cue X-Files theme... 1 year ago:
More accurate response:
Pareidolia
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareidolia
Pareidolia is the tendency for perception to impose a meaningful interpretation on a nebulous stimulus, usually visual, so that one sees an object, pattern, or meaning where there is none. It is a type of apophenia.
Common examples are perceived images of animals, faces, or objects in cloud formations, seeing faces in inanimate objects, or lunar pareidolia like the Man in the Moon or the Moon rabbit.
