Yes it was annoying how our families kept bringing up how we "got lost on the mountain" during the trip and we kept having to remind them that we weren't lost, just hiking!

This is like when I was 11 and my family went hiking up a mountain in Yellowstone. My young cousin and I thought my brother was ahead of us on the trail so we hurried up trying to catch up to him. We were passing many hikers on a busy trail and being safe.

An hour later my brother comes running up behind us saying everyone is looking for us! Apparently the park rangers had been mobilized to search for us, the missing children, and when we got down the mountain an hour or more later our families were down there in tears fearing we had fallen off the mountain or something.

Point being, it's totally possible for everyone to think you're lost and in danger when you are fine and know exactly where you are.

I'm guessing you're not getting many replies because you're not forming a coherent argument.

Your first comment was against Taylor Swift expressing the view that her fans should go out and vote. Your second comment is against "what she represents" which you left undefined other than the media cabal which is a separate issue and outside of her control.

Very good explanation. If usb-c is good enough for a MacBook, it's definitely good enough for a small headset - no excuses!

Eh, I've seen all these same headlines on Hacker News. China is a rapidly developing country with a lot more people, manufacturing, advancements, and news than many other countries so it makes sense that there would be a lot of news coming out of it.

I just visited China for the first time during a business trip a few weeks ago and as an American I was impressed. The US media tries so hard to present only the negative that a lot of Americans aren't even aware of all the achievements they've accomplished.

Yes, there is an app called Button Mapper that allows you to map any button to any app, even special functions and utilities. It also allows for special behavior when double clicking or long pressing.

This plus extreme selection bias. There's plenty of concrete that did not last for thousands of years.

I use a Chromecast with Google TV everyday and I do not receive autoplay ads on the home screen. You are free to disable ads on the home screen in the settings and you are free to install third party home screens.

In fact, the only interaction with the home screen that is required is when I see it briefly before pressing the Netflix button on the remote which I have remapped to Plex or jellyfin using the button mapper app.

Even with the default home screen you do not see auto play ads unless you select them and continue watching.

And the emoji button in the message area has less features than the one found in the Google keyboard (no emoji kitchen?!), so I'll never want to use it anyways.

Yes I've even had a video file stop at 99.9% and it still played just fine.

This could be a commercial for the cyber truck, the only bulletproof instacart approved delivery vehicle.

You have to put 2 spaces after each line to force the next sentence into a new line.
