Curate your connections, yeet anyone who is posting slop and add people that make quality spicy posts you enjoy.

It's that simple to make a LinkedIn feed have posts and comments you enjoy!


Nobody posts anything “quality” on there whatsoever. Its complete pablum.

I imagine if the posts on LinkedIn inspire someone, that they probably are they kind of person to have a lot of “live laugh love” word art on their walls as well.


Is there a switch to turn off the social media/posting element on linkedin altogether? I don't see why I should be spending my time engaging with their algorithm just so it's bearable to use

There isn’t and you shouldn’t.

Probably a good idea for a chrome extension actually


Just don't open the home page except to navigate to the specific thing you need and when you do, don't look at the slop? The social media/posting element of linkedin is totally disconnected from the useful part of the site and you can just ignore it.

Remind me what the useful part is again?

That sounds exhausting and pointless.

The replacement parts aren't cheap either as Framework has very little used parts market.

I can rehouse a Thinkpad or most other high volume laptops for a quarter or less the cost of a Framework, making the total lifetime cost much lower. Framework will sell you a new housing with screen for $399, but at that point I can buy an 11th gen Thinkpad for half the cost.

I want the economics to work, but even with free labor it makes no sense.


911 calling issues have been a persistent problem for Pixel devices.


How is that even legal.


While quite frightening, how could you even test this? You can't just make test calls to 911, can you?

(I'm actually somewhat interested in the answer... I have a use-case, and the seeming inability to test is a bit worrying)


You can schedule a 911 test call. "Test calls can be scheduled by contacting your local 911 call center via its non-emergency phone number." [0] More info here:[1]

Phone makers (and even their supply chain partners) operate their own in-building cell networks with carrier-type hardware, and extensive debugging and observability, including simulation of multiple towers and location.

It wouldn’t get you 100% E2{ for 911 testing, but it does let you develop and test the stack extensively before taking it to the real world and scheduled testing coordinated with 911 call centers.


Haven't tried it myself, but this official-seeming website suggests that you can schedule a test call ahead of time with your local 911 call center.

I'm pretty sure Google can buy a femtocell to simulate local mobile network of their own.


Always look at the 10 year cost of a domain. Add everything to cart that is interesting, crank the term up to 10 years then pick what seems the most reasonable.


Yes, that's what I find interesting about this. It's $3/year for first year and renewal, and you can do up to 10 years. It's also from a reputable registrar not one you've never heard of.

The new Intel NUCs are only like a hundred something dollars for an N150 CPU and come with 16 gigs of RAM and a SSD.

Why pay so much more to fight an uphill battle?

Unless you desperately need the hot garbage that is Xcode there isn't much reason to deal with Mac Minis running MacOS as a server. One update and it will suspend and be unwakeable without physical interaction.


I had a list of things I wanted: I have limited space so needed a small form factor. I am on solar and wanted power usage to be low. I wanted 10Gb Ethernet.

It’s on a smart plug, so I can power cycle it remotely.

The hardware is far superior to any Nuc, I have at 4 or 5 of those already, I really like them. MacOS is a struggle, but I think I’ve tamed it.

I wasn’t the one paying.


If your not paying, then it really does not matter.

10Gbps equipment is pretty spendy


Wait times for healthcare are insane in the states, getting gall stones broken up with ultrasound (lithotripsy) is something that is booking 9 months out in the Pacific Northwest.

Need a CPAP? The mandatory sleep studys slots for 6 months from now are all full, and calling the programs 3 to 7 hours drive away to see if you can get a slot there is the same deal.

At one point I had to call over 50 different medical practices looking for any doctor that could see my partner in a cast from a broken bone. So many lied about having multiple Orthopedic specialists on staff, and the few I found were booking months out. After a month I got lucky finding an appointment free due to a cancellation, but we had the best healthcare possible at the time and full coverage to see nearly all of the Orthopedic specialists licensed in my state.

US Healthcare is a bad joke and only those with the energy to hustle and fight for their healthcare stand a chance of having a reasonable quality of life if you have anything not immediately treatable in urgent care or an ER.

All of the Primary Care Physicians are booked out 5+ months for one of our HMOs, but at least you won't get 5 different bills mailed to you from LabCorp and others for $1 to $5 each months after a blood test with no way to track or pay them online.


Main brand is even cheaper when you have a business account. It's only people with few lines that get railed on postpaid wireless.


i pay $15 for mint, lets see the tmobile commercial plan pricing?


Big commercial is ~$23/mo for pooled data and a 13-month subsidy. At one point we were running it like a revenue center and getting $250-350 for used iPhones. They balked because we have our shit together and dump phones quickly (most large customers don't), so we moved away from that for other concessions.


i fail to see how this is cheaper in any imaginable way, thank you


You pay $0.99 and $277 in plan fees for a iPhone <current> or <current-1>, and sell it for $250-350 used.

At the scale I'm talking about, that's well into the seven figures.


i do not pay any plan fees for an iphone. what on earth


Question, do you have a version for Android? I see it's not in the Play Store yet, and the APK download link does not work (ditto for MacOS and Windows download links).


Thanks, google play store still in review, because it need at least 12 internal testers, I don't have enough to release it. I will check the apk download path again, macos/windows/linux will upload toady. Looking forward the feedback.


Okay, the apk/windows download path is working now. Thanks feedback again.


A decrease in search quality has damaged trust with the userbase, making crummy, unreliable data sources like LLMs seem much more viable.


Do you have any evidence to prove this?

Seems logical to me, but then my 71 year old mother with doctorates in both science and literature pulls out her phone and trusts Google AI results without thinking twice.


The whole system that supports TSMC will break down in the event of a war.

You can see this with SMIC and their inability to get modern lithography systems from the only leading edge vendor ASML. Sure, you can create your own vendors to replace such companies, but they are unlikely to ever catch up to the leading edge or even be only a generation or two behind the leading edge despite massive investments.

With non-leading edge equipment & processes you have to make compromises like making much larger chips so you can get the same compute in a low power profile. This drives up the initial cost of every device you make and you run into throughput issues like what Huawei has experienced where they cannot produce enough ships to ship their flagship ship phones at a reasonable price and simultaneously keep them in stock.

Instead you get boutique products that sell out practically immediately because there were so few units that were able to be manufactured.
