"...prohibits repair stores from repairing components on the mainboard. Instead, the entire component must be replaced..."

A flagrant disregard for the costs of e-waste on the environment. What a surprise.

The sound produced by ANC is the exact 180 degree inverse (or as near as possible) of the incoming bad noise.

It's produced in realtime by dedicated signal processors and requires mic arrays feeding in the sound. The quicker your processing pipeline the better the match is and the more powerful the effect is.

There's no prerecorded sound that would work.

How is being paid "from pushback to arrival" even vaguely legal?

Aside from everyone who's using flutter?

Long story short the MRI showed no impinging of the cord so we were told to just monitor it. It's slowly fading.

The long story is that the next day the GP repeated 111's advice so we bundled up pillows and painkillers and, still very upset, we went back. After an hour the triage nurse told us that all the GP needed to do was a referral by email and we would have been admitted straight to the spinal unit.

She then rang the GP and actually tore them a new one. It was highly satisfying.

We spent the rest of the day in spinal, her on a bed, and got seen by excellent staff who did more explaining about the injury and what to expect than anyone else had done to that point. We were in limbo about the whole thing till then.

Let's be honest, this is only their outlook until the courts make their decision. They'll sell if that doesn't go in their favour.

Fuck.

My wife and I were in this A&E 3 days later. She'd new lower body numbness appear some months into a broken back recovery. 101 said go straight there, this is a no fuck around situation.

We get there and are advised it's a 12 hour wait, the place is rammed, ambulances are queuing and the corridors are full of gurneys and paramedics.

My wife at this point is in tears. The broken back means sitting for an hour on a shit waiting room chair is hard work. 12 literally can't happen.

So we leave. What else can we do.

The situation was fucking awful, but I don't blame the staff. I felt genuinely bad for all of them - there was just a complete lack of hope on any of their faces.

IIRC your data would live on your chosen pod server - which does not have to be a fediverse instance.

The fact you got downvoted for someone else's assumption (that was upvoted) makes me chuckle. There's some serious Apple hating going on here*.

*sometimes deserved. Not really in this case.

Written by someone who apparently has no understanding of virtual memory. Chrome may claim 500MB per tab but I'll eat my hat if the majority of that isn't shared between tabs and paged out.

If I'm misunderstanding then how the fuck is chrome with it's 35+ open tabs functioning on my 16GB M1 machine (with a full other application load including IDE's and docker (with 8GB allocated)

I've not tried it but have been keep tabs.

The two main problems appear to still be ongoing PRs/issues; magazine/community sidebar content doesn't update and doesn't federate out at all to lemmy, and moderation actions don't federate at all (any of the various types) - which is particularly problematic.

If only k/mbin federated better - I'd be all over it :(
