Why would you pick 50 for the perfect temp? Genuinely curious why land on that number.

I remember it being iffy when I used it back then, the 8320 didn't have GPS so it was trying to use cell towers to figure out the turn by turn. It was slower, but not as slow as the connection speed would seem because every page load wasn't dependent on a thousand different CDNs and a hundred different trackers.

A dedicated GPS was essential for cross country (if you didn't want paper maps or printouts).

Do you mean the Cisco iPhone from the 90s or the Brazilian iphone from the early '00s? I'm totally just taking the piss though, I know you mean the Apple one from the later '00s but it wasn't that rare to have mobile internet before it, they were just riding the wave that was already breaking across society.

Apple had a major advantage though, lots of people were already eyeing their popular mp3 player, if a phone could be a phone, internet, and a good music player you can sync easily, it won for a lot of people. I couldn't justify the price and really liked physical keyboards, by the time those became rare I disliked Apple too much to try them.

Somewhere I have my old BB 8320 from 2007, it was awesome because it had WiFi so much better speed when WiFi was available.

I hated yaml with every fiber of my being when first had to use it, but I really wanted to use HomeAssistant and see what I could do with it. I hated it a bit less when I started using docker compose. I started loving it when I started using it as a way to explain json to non-programming IT types, trying to explain it without braces and brackets seems to get across easier. I guess its more human readable, but as a result formatting has to be spot on (those indents and spaces replace the need for brackets and braces).

One useful trick if you truly hate it but need it, write it in json, then just use a converter to change that into yaml.

I'd agree, everyone has a price; I'd also have to say not everyone's is monetary.

Don't know if it'll work for you, but I'd do the same if one of your invites happens to come my way!

Edit: just wanted to throw a comment in here, a kind soul has invited me.

It will all boil down to what kind of maintenance is required. A robot for $50k would pay for itself in saved wages in under a year, even less if it collected tips. A lot of smaller diners (Waffle/Huddle/Waddle/etc) typically have super low staffing requirements (line cook + 1 or 2 servers per shift, occasionally more) and could totally use robots due to the simple layout and standardization of the restaurants.

You're taking the piss right? Those seem like perfectly reasonable responses.

What video card is required to use it? None, it can be used standalone.

What video card to use it streaming from your PC, at least a 580 sounds okay for some games. You seem to be expecting it to lie, and then inferring truthful information as a lie because the information you held back (which game you want) is the reason for the heavier video card requirement.

Yet buying, harvesting, and selling geofence data is perfectly fine.

Try GrayJay, works great in my experience and has all the stuff (background play, no ads, downloads, etc). One issue I had with ReVanced was casting didn't always work for me, GrayJay seems to be able to cast to my shield without missing a beat.
