always good to check the connotations of any gesture before using it in a new country lol

Apparently, the chargers will be updated to become dumb terminals that just charge automatically when plugged in, but for many end users, the main reason they went with Juicebox (which was bought by Enel) was that Enel would handle user accounts and billing. I work at an organization where we charge employees at a discounted rate, and the chargers are open to the public to use as well if they install the app and input their payment info. We're going to have to close down public access if we can't find a solution. A couple companies are saying they might be able to take over. Would have been nice to have more than a couple weeks to figure this out!

I used the Notes quite a bit and thought it was a mistake to get rid of it. People pay for notes and tasks related sync services, so it could have been a revenue source. I also miss Firefox Panorama

There are some times that readers may be frustrated by an item not being put to use later in the story, such as a red herring in a mystery. But like you noted, the real world is full of red herrings, so it can be used to great artistic effect!

They said they'd open source Pocket and they didn't. In fact, they've simply allowed it to rot and just removed features. So here I think the skepticism is warranted.

They invented the word. Colonial folks moved in. I'm gonna let Nahuatl speakers tell me what's right. It's not pedantry. It's not irrelevant. You're not going to change my mind. Deal with it!

No, but I think you're a little defensive about it. That's ok. Have a good day.

I learned the correct way from some stumbling on some Nahuatl speakers. Why would you 'disagree' that it's pronounced the way I mentioned? I didn't say the other way was incorrect (though I thought most people would be interested to hear the original way)

Why not pronounce it the right way?

I found it annoying on my Note 20 because that space was mostly lost for using the pen. Glad to have gained that real estate back for writing on the S24 Ultra

I use Flauncher. It works pretty well and is a simple grid of icons. With some ADB commands it can be set as default, which I did on my Shield

It was crazy visiting China last year. The EVs that everyday people are driving feel so polished and futuristic in many ways.

The leaves look like they're shriveling. I also see some aerial roots. That could either be a sign of not enough water, or too much, leading to the roots dying and the plant dropping leaves out of stress. I would gradually expose it to more light as well as it looks etiolated. So I would put it in a full sized real pot with good drainage so that it has a nice, regular amount of water delivery, and the greater light will ensure it can use that water adequately (and not get root rot)

Thinking before they adopt is hard to do. I understand some experiments get cut. But I'm not sure they are thinking even after they adopt. Thus the half-assed delivery and constantly abandoning projects before they get a fair shake
