I recently went swimming in one of these submerged mines/quarries in North America. This one flooded during a severe hurricane: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portland_Brownstone_Quarries

Nice, wonder if this can integrated into password managers!

I’ve heard that if you use the convenience store’s app, you can just take one and“save” the extra item for free pickup at a later time. Never verified it myself though.

Was about to mention magic earth, but of course someone else has recommended it already. Was talking with a coworker about degoogling and they brought up this. Surprisingly works good enough where I live.

Yeah, I'll hold on to it until I lose the pay as well. I was looking at either pixel 8a or 9a for my next phone. Like you said with pixel 9, I assume it would be a big leap with both of these phones. But at least with 9a I won't have the camera bump problem so that's hopeful.

Terrifying. I opened this thread to leave the same comment that Google pay is working for me on my pixel 5. I bought it second handed and replaced battery so I didn't spend too much money on it, but it would be a real shame when that rollout reaches me. Especially because I also quite enjoy the size and functionality. It's enough for everything I need to do on a phone..

Back in school, after taking an intro to programming language course as an elective, I've been struggling to understand the missing link between knowing a programming language and writing a program. This book bridged that gap, and everything finally clicked. I'll definitely be checking out the new content as well. Thanks for changing my life!

You are absolutely correct. When I built my eink display calendar, I sourced picture frame for $2 at a local Goodwill store.

What I have heard was Afreeca makes use of distributed computing so that resources are shared directly between users rather than everything getting downloaded from their servers. This apparently cuts down on the amount of traffic load.
