The same is true for Europe. I've never had an issue returning items on Amazon, whether they're for personal or business use (where you don't have the right to return items). The same goes for local and European chains.

Re:Rye: A Vision Continued on Sunday February 04, 2024 @04:30PM (#39254678)
I really like Rye and have used it a lot. Lately I've been using pixi more and more because of its cross-platform locking support, since I develop on Mac and deploy mostly to Linux. It also supports all cobda packages, which can be a big advantage.

Re:Deno 1.39: The Return of WebGPU on Thursday December 14, 2023 @05:29AM (#38639825)
Just yesterday I was looking to play around with webGPU and found the 1.8 release page. I had no idea it was removed. I hope that webGPU will gain adaptation as the best cross platform system. The incompatibility between platforms for openGL or Vulkan always made me not want to learn it.
Re:Stop making Linux distributions, make applications instead on Sunday December 10, 2023 @10:15AM (#38592040)
I recently tried to create an executable from a Python script, Mac and Windows worked wonderfully, on Linux I had massive problems when I tried to run it in a different system then it was packaged. Linux caused the most problems, in the end I decided it was not worth it, 99% use Windows or Mac anyway.
Re:You can now mix conda and PyPI packages on Wednesday November 29, 2023 @02:45PM (#38464268)
Looks pretty awesome. I'm currently using rye for locking, but unfortunately it only creates a lock file for the current OS. Which makes it not ideal for cross-platform Python development. Torch, for example, has different dependencies on Mac and Linux.

Wow, these customizations are crazy. Flying in airplane mode makes it look like a war zone.

Interesting that GBP has a volume of 413 million and EUR 420 million, I would have assumed that EUR is much bigger than GBP, does anyone know why they are so close? Also, interesting that the top conversion is GBP -> EUR.
Re:The hidden beauty of Berlin's indoor pools on Sunday November 19, 2023 @06:09PM (#38339560)
The opening hours are actually quite good. I haven't found any on the list that are closed on Sundays. All of them are actually open from at least 10 am to 5 pm. And during the week there are also some that are open until 10.30am.
Re:Protomaps – A free and open source map of the world on Monday October 23, 2023 @02:59PM (#37990050)
That's really cool. Cloud be really use full for local businesses. They often embed Google maps, but I feels like having a map from the local are would be sufficient, and cheaper.
Re:Google Bard: incredible that this is a shipped product on Tuesday August 29, 2023 @08:03AM (#37306461)
Not sure with this has to do with Bard, since it is just a snipped from a website,

When asking Bard "country in africa that starts with k", I get the following:

    There are 3 countries in Africa that start with the letter K:
    - Kenya
    - Kuwait
    - Kyrgyzstan
    Kenya is the most populous country that starts with K in Africa. It is located in East Africa and is known for its wildlife, including lions, elephants, and zebras. Kenya is also home to the Maasai Mara National Reserve, one of the most popular safari destinations in the world.
    Kuwait is a small country located in the Middle East. It is a major oil producer and has a high standard of living. Kuwait is a popular tourist destination, known for its beaches and desert safaris.
    Kyrgyzstan is a landlocked country located in Central Asia. It is known for its mountains and nomadic culture. Kyrgyzstan is a popular destination for hiking, skiing, and camping.
    I hope this helps!
Re:D J Bernstein – The IPv6 mess on Monday August 14, 2023 @07:25AM (#37119761)
I've noticed too would have expected that some not as developed countries would dominate ipv6 since Germany and France have about five times more v4 addresses then India.

Re:Changes to Tailscale Pricing and Plans on Tuesday April 18, 2023 @02:14PM (#35617685)
I'm in the same boat, ssh is our most used feature, also quite an odd decision to give the free plan more features than the Starter.
For sure, I've back the money for my Chromecast+stadia controller a month ago, whit this update both will still be useful, after the shutdown.
Re:Rotary Keyboard on Saturday December 24, 2022 @04:19PM (#34121178)
The most interesting for is the USB 3.0 connection, on the hub. Didn't know the lanes are totally independent.
There is also the European version of this EGNOS, besides there also private Providers like TerraStar

It's crazy, if you don't separate your admin account, the UAC prompt can be bypassed due to the default settings.

Re:Pass: The standard Unix password manager on Tuesday April 13, 2021 @05:36PM (#26799649)
I've used pass for a while, but I switch to bitwarden, since it has official apps for all platforms. Also with bitwarde I only have to trust them, with pass I have to trust all the different app developers.
Look pretty exciting, debugging is the feature I'm always missing when working with Ghidra.

Will be intersting if ida also adds the debugger to there free version.
