I had switched to some cheap SoundCore earbuds, still having issues with the pixel, switched to an iphone - no issues. Wanted nice ear buds again, so went with airpods. My original pixel buds were still sometimes not charging, or more importantly 1 would discharge in the case.
This is actually the primary reason I switched from Pixel to iPhone. I was sick and fed up of leaving the house, opening up the pixel buds case and 1 bud not connecting, or having minimal charge, or it just cuts out after a minute of listening to something. Standing in the middle of the street troubleshooting earbuds whilst I just want to listen to something whilst going somewhere was so frustrating. Moved to iphone and airpods - not had an issues since (about 2 years now). Yes I tried different earbuds with my pixel. No, they weren't any better. In-fact I still have some and they work better with my iphone.
I don't go in for fanboism when it comes to tech companies, but the build quality of Samsung and Google is atrocious.
This is it. I used to work for a consultancy that specialised in Oracle products. Turns out if you want an ERP or HCM, running Oracle EBS with a DB backend on Oracle...running on Oracle Linux...on Oracle Linux KVM hypervisors (where CPU pinning is a recognised and allowed tactic - unlike Oracle on other hypervisors)...it turns out, might be competitively priced.
It's a total lock in. Also, I get the impression that it's almost always up to what the Finance team is used to/familiar with. They decide the finance app - then everything else follows as above due to the financials...which they are in charge of.
I know a guy who migrated workloads off PostgreSQL Enterprise back to Oracle as the performance and availability just wasn't good enough. I don't know enough about DBs to query that much, but he did it.
It mentions this GDID is sent in telemetry. So this guy kept using a hosted proxy, meaning his egress IP was always changing accessing different services, but everytime his Windows 11 machine was sending back telemetry (which included his GDID) they were logging the IP address he was appearing from (the proxy) - so they were able to track and identify him.
and the fact it is “legal currency” but not officially legal tender (even in Scotland itself), it’s weird.
The legal tender argument/debate kinda annoys me as people seem to think it has something to do with legitimacy.
"Legal tender" in England and Wales is money that the English and Welsh courts will accept in payment for debt. So the Courts said we accept money issues by the Bank of England in the follow denominations, etc.
The Scottish Courts said "we'll accept money, or whatever we deem is acceptable to repay a debt we've issued" - so the legal tender definition doesn't even mean anything in Scotland.
Keep in mind, legal tender is really specific, so if you try to dick around and pay a £1000 fine in 2p coins - it will be rejected as that is not legal tender. You can only supply certain coins up to certain amounts.
But anyway, Scottish money, or Northern Irish money is valued exactly the same as BoE issued money.
A shopkeeper being unfamiliar is fine, they should be cautious. But until they do interact with it, they're always going to be unfamiliar.
But, this is most likely to get worse as cash becomes less common anyway.
And enabling employees to use AI more than the free tier is really expensive too.
The cost is upfront for training the LLM, then they have to sell the end product to us (to recuperate costs, start training the next 500B model, etc.), so giving their employees access to a higher tier of LLM is relatively minimal cost, inference isn't exactly cheap, but I think they could afford to give their employees access to higher models.
Any images being presented/created/passed then questioned and the same image (use a checksum I guess) is returned.
I've read that the double dash (emdash?) is a bit of a giveaway as although correctly used, it's not very prevalent in current English (although, I do remember Microsoft Outlook used to convert hyphens to that as well). And I think double-space after a full-stop/period?
