I never assumed any of those were made in the US. Especially the tractors. Assuming John Deere tractors are made in the US is the same as expecting every Ford, Chevy, and FM vehicle to be made in the US. It’s no secret that most vehicles aren’t made in the US, why would tractors be any different, they’re more alike than not.
I wonder what the requirements are. This admin is so idiotic they probably forgot to put minimum time requirements.
A future requirement means the cost of these changes, if required at the end of life, should be factored into the company’s plans for the game already. Not a retroactive cost/burden the company didn’t plan for and may not have the financial resources to spend for already end of life products.
Unless the game was designed to be offline or use alternative server systems, it still requires development time to implement. And as well all know, bugs are a thing, what sort of requirement for support would be required for implementing those changes? Can they just slap something together with AI coding and say that’s what we get? They made the change and they’re done with it?
My current Amazfit GTS 2 advertised a week, and I only get about 36 hours with heart rate every 15 minutes and sleep tracking overnight.
There is a lot of text just to bitch to people that probably don’t care about niche differences. We’re talking about budget options here, not “audiophile” snake oil.
I also don’t personally care about a random “audiophile” opinion, especially on a site like Lemmy. You have no credentials here, your opinion has no weight over anyone else’s, that’s why sites with testing and reviewing methodologies are most useful. From my experience most “audiophile” opinions usually are about as good as Monster cables were, pure overpriced snake oil. Especially when that audio opinion includes absolutely insane and anatomically inaccurate things like “I have two ears: I only need to speakers.” You might as well be saying that Airpods are good enough because they’re right there.
I do trust the opinion of places like Rtings where there’s s defined testing methodology and direct comparisons can be taken from those. While the system I posted is definitely a generic mid-range system, it’s what they recommended for a budget soundbar system, it’s $350 all in. You provided anecdotal opinion and an alternative that’s twice as expensive for a pair of bookshelf speakers (actually more, the MSRP of those speakers is $370 alone, plus the amp and the Sub). From a company that markets their products as the “Best Audiophile Speakers” no less. That screams of Monster cable type scam shit, even if it isn’t, that’s the type of snake oil marketing that drives people away now. And in an product industry where snake oil products are a dime a dozen, that’s the opposite of what the serious companies usually try to do.
Quality audio doesn’t have to cost a ton. You can get a quality budget Dolby ATMOS soundbar for less than $350.
God do I miss the 30 day battery life. I misplaced my charger a bunch of times because I simply wasn’t using it.
My current Amazfit barely gets a day with my usage. And I only use it for notifications and sleep tracking.
It’s not that it’s mixed shitty, it’s that they never remixed it for new releases. So it still uses the theater audio mix and range where there’s 12,000+ watts of audio power available and like 12 audio channels.
When they actually remix it to a home release format the issues almost always go away. Even remixing for 5.1 most TVs can downmix to stereo just fine.
I’ve still been trying to find good replacements for my Pebble. Long battery life, and just doing what it needs to without gimmicks or extra unnecessary crap. My watch doesn’t need to be a mini phone, it’s there to tell me if I need to bother with the actual phone.
Went through Vector and Amazfit since my OG Pebble and Pebble Time.
Numerous tests have been done about this already. Nearly every tech related blog site has a version of this test somewhere in their archive if you look for it.
The conclusion is always the same, rice is no more effective than just leaving the device sitting on a counter in open air. Having a fan blowing on the device is more effective. The best option is putting it in a container with desiccant gel packets, ideally unused packets. This is what those water damage bags sold at some stores are, they are filled with desiccant beads.
Of course physically opening the device to dry and clean it internally is the most effective, but not something most users can do.
This doesn’t do anything. Rice absorbs water on contact, and even then requires heat to do so effectively. Rice does not work like the desiccant packets to reduce ambient humidity in a package.
Rice for any length of time is less effective than just using a paper towel to soak up and large drops externally and setting the phone in front of a fan for an hour.
The Amish generally do not participate, but they 100% are affected by the developed world around them and do participate to a degree. There are also different varying groups of Amish that do use some modern conveniences, even things like cars and trucks.
Gotta clear the area for new condos and resorts.
Having worked in retail sales where a significant portion of my pay was based on performance… there are a lot of problems with performance based incentives. They inevitably get people to focus on only the one or two aspects those are based on, while everything else suffers. They almost always end up punishing individuals that have any sort of outside situation like needing to take sick time or simply taking vacation time.
If all you give a shit about is work, which is not mentally healthy in most cases, especially since were talking about employees here not business owners and partners that are invested, that works for some people. Usually those that are trying to escape their life outside work are the ones that works best for, and that says a lot.
Well, when you have a product that basically defines the absence of uniqueness, is readily replaceable by multiple alternatives at the same price, and only popular because of historical use and habit, you’ve been constantly at risk of losing it all even if you didn’t see it
That attitude isn’t new. It’s existed for decades in those types of roles. The difference is that Gen Z doesn’t give a shit about hiding it anymore, regardless of what management wants.
Maybe they should have a way of determining where someone is from and not process transactions for those regions… Oh wait, that’s a fundamental function of not only what they already do, but also the Steam store itself.
I’m honestly surprised that the processor shareholders aren’t demanding they process those transactions to increase profits even more.
The only way that justification could possibly gold any water is if they used the data to exclude those people from consideration entirely since they would have to be documented, and thus already in the system.
But we know ICE isn’t excluding anyone at all, especially if they have a vaguely foreign sounding name.
People ignore speed limits. You design the street to feel best at the speed you want people to go.
One of the States, I think Maine? Took a road and adjusted the posted speed limit at various points spanning like 20 mph differences, and at all posted speeds the average actual traffic speed was still the same. Because that speed felt right for that road to most drivers, regardless of what was legal.
If there are good alternative options for public transport, then the slower speed limits and roads designed to slow traffic will gradually shift people to use those options instead.
