Probably not there's a lot of nearby fire the would reignite extinguished sections because the device doesn't do anything to cool the fuel or suppress fire returning. Also it's short range and very sensitive to the range you

Live resizing apps and dealing with apps that don't have a specified new design for the unfolded screen size is one of the big hurdles for folding phones that's new to the Duo for Apple so it remains to be seen how well that works

It's not just compensation grading is a very time intensive process so even if it were paid it eats up either personal time or time they could use preparing lessons or assisting students.

The biggest speedbump to that is teacher time. Grading and returning worksheets for students is a huge unpaid time sink for teachers.

An interesting question to me is how were subsequent instances finding their way to these message boards. I suppose they're all quite likely to try the same sequence of sites since they're neuvo copies of the same state given simi

Isn't CoPilot largely a wrapper around ChatGPT and other models? IIRC they didn't create their own and just poured money (via Azure credits I think) into OpenAI to get access.

The single most annoying thing about trying to actually ask a question on SO. No overzealous editor that's actually a different error and library entirely...

I think that depends a lot on the industry. There's a lot of evidence Amazon is recycling "unopened" returns into the new stock pool because people are getting sealed items with their contents replaced because it turns out it

That's the least charitable interpretation, most people aren't avoiding the app intentionally you have to adjust to the fact you're anomalous for not having a smartphone at this point.

Did you consider if they were trying maybe just to save you the trip/inconvenience in the future by informing you of something most people would be able to use?

> "I don't have a QR code scanner app." Not the point but they haven't been needed for at least half a decade now. Both iOS and Android's built in cameras detect and scan QR codes now.

That's only true if everyone in the area is good about throwing away their trash in proper receptacles. That's the alternative stream that's difficult to control directly because it's at the individual level instead of t

Places need to get a lot better about actually checking returned items if they're going to go back into the stream as a NIB item instead of open box. Amazon and other electronics places are bad about this with horror stories of getting

Well we don't know that they're talking about clothes at all. Clothing retailers are still pretty open about returns afaik because it's kind of the only way to run an online clothes store people will actually use.

I wonder if they were similarly blasé when companies started implementing policies to actually stop them? That kind of argument only works where stopping the behavior is cost free, the main reason most places didn't do it before was be

The biggest issue is these kinds of construction jobs are temporary. It's similar to but not quite as bad as datacenters where you get a very short term influx of skilled highly paid labor but those jobs don't stick around after t

Seems like the simple solution is a Styrofoam sheet, a $10 hot knife and some glue solves the customization problem almost trivially.

Why? The release angle is fully controlled by design of the mechanism if you wanted to fire it into the ground for safety you could just advance the release timing by a few degrees.

It is because the main limitation for high speed digital video is the bandwidth of the pipeline from sensor to storage. Lowering the resolution increases the number of frames you can shove through the X Gbps pipe between the photons hitting

No it wouldn't... the projectile is still launched by the same angular motion of an arm and a sling basket the power for the rotation just comes from a different source.
