It’s because they reckon on 8-hour days but then under UK law they have to give you two 15-minute breaks and one 30-minute lunch. So they decide that they don’t like that so you’ve got to work the hours back so they add an extra hour on and then claim that your break times don’t count.

But the problem with that is the only reason that I’m having a break in the town rather than at my house is because of all the other hours I’m doing around it. So really they should be paying for it. Capitalism is going to capitalism.

Well, it’s all Earth.

Is that the ones where they claim it’s remote but really they need you in the office 3 days a week?

I once made the mistake of saying I was willing to relocate, like to a different city or something, and they took that to mean anywhere on the planet. And all the jobs they were asking me about when weird places like Saudi Arabia, and it wasn’t even well paid.

My Pixel Fold got dropped in sub zero ethenol (don’t ask), and it was fine. So I think you just got unlucky.

That’s because since introducing the market, they haven’t really innovated at all. Others came up with better hinge designs, orientations, and built better interfacing software.

I suppose we could just ask whatever AI it is that they’re selling the data to.

It’s about cognitive load. When you’re driving you want reduced cognitive load so you want things to be as unambiguous as possible.

It’s a difference between reading a shop sign as you drive past as a passenger and reading a shop sign as you drive past as a driver. You’re focusing mostly on the driving so you don’t have extra brain capacity to read the sign.

Same thing here, you are focusing on driving so you don’t have extra brain capacity to work out what the person in front of you is doing. If you’re used to it it’s fine, but if you’re not used to it it’s dangerous.

It isn’t broken though it’s operating as intended. Which is just stupid.

Yeah regardless of what the above guy says I’m pretty positive separate indicators are actually EU mandate that the UK still follows because it turns out most EU laws are actually sensible, who knew.

I thought it was an EU law but maybe not. All indicators have to be separate lights, you can’t flash the brake light like that. It must be a proper indicator light.

So here they have the same basic look for the lights, i.e. the union jack effect, but that LED panels and they kind of pulse in the direction of the indication so it’s much less confusing, they don’t just flash on and off.

I’m pretty sure the UK ones are animated as well in the direction of travel which makes it even clearer.

I just like to tell the Americans that this is your fault. You have lacks traffic laws that allow this kind of thing. This isn’t be legal in the UK.

But they’d actually have to put hardware into a razor to enable that and to what end? It’s not useful info to know when you are shaving, and you already carrying a phone around in your pocket surely that’s the biggest point of data leakage. Fix that first before you start worrying about all these conspiracy theories.

USB is capable of data transfer but only if there’s compatible hardware in the device. The shave it doesn’t have any capacity to transmit data so what’s it going to do there’s nothing to track all they get is “someone has plugged something that requires some power into this port, but I don’t know what cuz it doesn’t have any brains”

It is important to be wary of ways that you could leak data but at the same time it’s also important not to go all paranoid tinfoil hat

Since when is a BMS advanced technology?

Because USBC isn’t watertight

So even less of a reason then

Isn’t the standard a token amount of $1 or something for a license, I don’t think price really comes into it.

I just love the idea that an admin would take action without communicating with literally anyone else on the team, and that be a totally normal and okay thing.
