Just a heads-up, there are activity reports that can be run that will readily show this.

I’m Asian and live in rural Oregon.

I’ve found it on Amazon periodically, but to avoid that, they show up at a local Asian supermarket sometimes.

They’re hot as fuck to me though (I’m kinda a spicy wuss though), like, painful to finish…but tasty. My friend can eat them and barely break a sweat or get flush. YMMV.

I’m a below average height male and on periodic occasion I don’t trigger the motion sensing ones and it’s awkward. Now I typically always just raise my arm and wave instinctively. Not quite jedi gestures, but eh.

Is that $8.192 per TB then?

$0.008 * 1024gb

That seems high? My friend blew through 40ish TB last month but pays $200/mo.

This hurts.

It’s definitely not ideal, but you are right on that point since I didn’t necessarily pay for all of them.

The only annoying part is if…you know, I want to take a long lunch away from my desk/home…I technically have to carry 3 phones “just in case”.

On the flip side, if I carry 3 phones with me and nothing too crazy happens, I can technically be away from my desk most of the day and nobody really knows…

S23U is personal daily use.

Surface Duo is actually not on a line, so it’s mostly a desk paper weight.

Moto Razr+ is a work phone. iPhone 13 is a phone used for work (testing iOS apps).

P8P is a business phone (like, my small business).

As a former P7P owner and a current P8P owner (as well as a Motorola Razr+, Surface Duo, S23U, and iPhone 13) - I’d definitely recommend the 8 over the 7.

Maybe it was just me, but my 7 had heat issues, cellular radio issues, and just felt kind of sluggish versus other phones from that particular year. The P8P right now is pretty great.

I’m nowhere near Bill Gates money and never will be.

I think amongst my circle of family and friends, I probably net 3-4x more than the highest earner I know. For the most part, I can buy myself whatever gadgets or books or food or things I typically want.

But…I don’t, well, I don’t always.

In fact, oftentimes I find myself putting off buying Book A or B because I just don’t feel like it’s a good use of money right now.

Sometimes I won’t even buy myself new socks until all of mine have been worn down to absolute tatters. I own two pairs of jeans and one pair of shoes and they’re going to go until they completely fall apart.

Other times, I want this new game and I don’t buy it because I can’t really justify it for how much time I might end up having for it.

But if anyone I know gets me any of the above or similar, I’d honestly be super happy. It removes that mental battle for me and I get something I actually want / need.

When GM killed the Bolt, I tried to buy one at two different dealerships near me. One wanted a $10k premium over MSRP and the other wanted $8k.

They also both had a non-negotiable “security” etching added and wheel protection whatever that I had to pay for.

It isn’t that I didn’t want one, it’s that your dealerships fucked it up.

Honestly, may have settled for MSRP, but they wouldn’t budge. Fuck off.

I’m loving my Galaxy Tab 9 Ultra. It’s sturdy, can go in the shower (I don’t normally but I wanted to test it), has great multi-window features, has Dex which is also sometimes useful, is snappy, and I can basically sideload whatever I want.

Absolutely the case for me, I had like 5-6 alts, now I use maybe two.

You win my favorite internet comment of the day.

My personal cuticles need more seasoning.

Where is here…asking for a friend

Sort of?

I run Visual Studio Enterprise, no, VS Code is not sufficient for some needs.

I have to edit complex PDFs in Adobe. Free, open source readers are not enough.

Even the best linux RDP or WebRTC or otherwise apps still don’t seem to provide quite the same speed as RDP into windows hosts/servers.

I have to use Teams daily across multiple orgs, and the seemingly discontinued Linux support in lieu of the less-featured browser app / PWA just doesn’t fly.

I’ve found building windows apps on Linux, while seemingly supposed to be net similar, often times do not turn out right.

Need full featured O365 to integrate with your work’s O365? No go. Closest is installing edge on Linux and using the web version, which is subpar.

I hate windows, I use Linux when I can, but to say you can remove it from your life with very little effort is a blanket statement that is just unrealistic for many. To say there is no need is just off base.

Source: I use Windows, PopOS, KDE, Mint, and that apple OS thing that I hate more than Windows.

Half my CCs don’t let me set transaction alerts for less than $5-$10, so a $1 or less charge would never notify me, I’d have to be actively checking it every moment of every day to see it immediately.

And yes, I have email/text alerts when possible for every. single. charge. on my CCs at the lowest threshold possible and it has helped at least three times thus far.

Molly does?

I have a 2TB SSD and a 1TB SSD. My Windows VM is allocated 100GB, so it really isn’t bad at all. I use VirtualBox and it starts up basically instantly.

I just realized I have an oldish laptop with Windows on it though so I’m thinking maybe I should just remote into that instead…derp

For Visual Studio Enterprise, Adobe PDF editing, native Office apps, SSMS, and RDP thin clients, I use a Windows VM.
