I got an xz2 compact and was so excited about it. Then I realized that even thought it supported wifi calling, you could not used the feature on Verizon network. I tried so many different ways to get it to work, but bottom line was Verizon wouldn't allow the required FW. Since I lived somewhere with no cell service, I had to replace it. It's so sad that a phone can have features that can be blocked on some networks...

I actually have a colleague who randomly saw the launch from their airplane. They had no idea and had to look it up after landing. I like all the different ways it can pull people in.

Europa Clipper is NASA’s mission to explore one of Jupiter’s four large Galilean satellites. Europa has an icy outer crust that covers an ocean world. It holds twice as much water as Earth’s oceans. So, Scientists want to know more about the habitability – the ability for some form of live to exist – on this large moon.

I did it one year with jalapeños and will likely never do it again. The yield on them was actually less than the freshly planted. I think the winter just over-stressed the plant and it never fully recovered. Zone 8a.

I'd happily be the first to dump on Apple or iphones. However, the take away is that the author doesn't understand anything about product design, the difficulty of engineering small devices to meet every specification or the cost it drives into the platform. In 2 years this guy will probably be disappointed that he can't get TBT4 with eGPU support on his iPhone 17.

Maybe...I think this is not even noise for most people.

As much as I disagree with what their doing, Nintendo content is vastly superior to other consoles/handhelds...so I'm forced to stick with them.

[–] Bitswap@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Yes. Nintendo doesn't need to ever win a lawsuit. If they simply bring it, they will win through having the deepest pockets.

You already had negative thoughts about nintendo...so does that count? Most people won't even see this...so I don't think it's much bad press.

As for legal battles...being sued is not really about committing crimes...you can lose legal battles while not doing anything illegal. I think Nintendo would likely win from simply pushing the devs into bankruptcy...

Foundation advice (lemmy.world)

Drawing

Red is a concrete foundation. Black is rotting wood foundation that needs to be replaced.

Foundation issues suck. House has foundation issues. Most of the foundation will need to be replaced. Part of the house currently has a wood foundation which is rotting. There is an addition which has a concrete foundation. (See image above).

I know that the wood foundation can be replaced with a pier and post foundation. They can stabilize the house, dig and pour piers, then use metal posts to brace the house at the right height.

Is a pier and post foundation the only option? Is there a way to do a concrete foundation?

Edit: The image is a top down look at the perimeter of the house. The red part is a ~600 sqft addition. The black part is the main house.

 

I can't get enough JWST images

 

Saw this new community from the landing page as a trending community. Just wanted to drop in and say that I had the great opportunity to chat with these guys as a supplier. The relationship didn't work out in the end, but these guys are just so cool and dedicated to making awesome products.

I know that my next system will be a system76 system.

Keep up the great work guys!
