I see what you did there

every subscription I’ve had through Apple ends at the end of the billing cycle, not immediately.

and yes if you contact them right away they’ll refund you. had this happen a couple of times when I was a day off on when I thought the subscription was renewing.

you're not treating him as a dumbass but he sure is acting like one. And I say this as a fairly big apple fanboy with a macbook pro, ipad and iphone. :-)

it's 256 electrodes, yes, but the article doesn't say whether those electrodes are simple digital signals or if each one has some analog range they resolve. Even if it's 100% binary, the tresholding (what level of neural activity is considered a 1 or 0) could be adaptive.

This is amazing technology. I can't imagine how it would feel to have your ability to speak and even sing back after losing it.

I don’t know about you but if I’m on the ground (protesting or not) the last thing I want is a helicopter coming down anywhere near me.

I just get either plain or vanilla greek yogurt and throw in some frozen berries (I'm particular to the one with blueberries, blackberries and cherries) -- it's refreshing, you get some protein and relatively healthy. Moreso than ice cream anyway.

I don't know if that's the (entire) story -- the mesh is supposed to occasionally reroute based on the link quality of the individual nodes and the repeaters they can see.

I've got a fairly extensive Zigbee network (32 devices) - using a CC2652 USB stick hooked up to an rpi with socat connecting that to my HA VM. I have probably a dozen wired devices (in-wall switches, plug-in outlets, etc.) scattered between the two floors and even the wired devices occasionally fall off the mesh, while most of them (and about 50% of the wireless devices) are pretty robustly connected. I've found no real link between LQI/RSSI and a device's stablity, nor have I found any real link between manufacturer and stability. Sonoff, Aqara, ewelink, lumi. It's frustrating, because some of the devices that fail to stay connected are within 3 meters of either the hub or a wired device and report great signal strength. I just don't feel that Zigbee is all that awesome for a robust low power network.

When I'm at the house next I might try moving the entire network to a different channel, as tedious as that is going to be.

This makes me sad that the only way I can play Portal (or Portal 2) is in a 32-bit VM. a 64-bit remake would be so awesome.

That's an excellent question. I only know of them because mxtoolbox and other checkers list them.

Kind of a piggyback on this -- is there a favoured "search my saved links from karakeep/linkwarden/hamster.io and show them first before feeding the search terms to google/bing/whatever" extension for your browser?

How did you do this? I have only seen the google postmaster tools and they're absolutely useless unless you are sending significant email volume. If you're a little guy they won't even give you basic reporting on deliverability.
