Looks like a pretty low tax rate to me.

Edit: welp, not that low. Mine looks lower. Weird; I’m in Quebec and I thought our tax rates were pretty high.

Thanks. That’s very informative. All stuff I’d never thought about.

Shouldn’t it be encrypted anytime it’s locked? Also, why the PIN and not my finger?

Dang that’s quick

Bit less than a hundred. I have a Samsung S22+.

The most annoying part to me is that it doesn’t finish booting until I unlock it with my PIN. You restart it, leave it on a table, and several minutes later, you want to use it, but not only is your fingerprint rejected and you need to use your PIN, but once you do it there’s still a loading step. Extra insulting.

What brand is that?

Ten seconds? Holy crap that’s fast. Mine takes minutes.

Helps remembering pins

You’re out of luck if you need the letters though, because phones and PIN keypads don’t have the same letters on the same numbers.

You mean, beep when they’re finished?

Many microwaves have a semi-hidden feature to mute all sounds. Usually involves long-pressing one of the number buttons.

Could a similar meme be made between distributions?

Well i mean we’re talking houses here, not record-breaking high-rise buildings.

As for issues with structural wood… Tbh they’re pretty rare. Probably more common than, say, the steel in your walls rusting or something, but still, not to a worrisome degree.

The main one is insects. Water (leading to mould) is also a thing but water infiltrations are terrible news no matter the material so…

What makes wood unfit for structure? I don’t know much about buildings, but it looks pretty strong and flexible to me?

But like, what’s the structure of the house made out of? I can’t imagine the structural bits can be made out of bricks?

Wait where are you for wooden houses not to be a thing?

I’d say it’s probably averaged from bra sizes sold by some company.

This is so unapologetically the Nazi empire now it’s not even funny. They’re just screaming the quiet part - all the quiet parts - out loud.

Their only chance at a defense (and it’s incredibly bad) is arguing that they only stole the stuff but didn’t distribute it to others. Kinda like buying drugs is typically not as severely punished as selling them.

But yeah I really don’t think copyright laws are gonna change in a way that makes happy little individual piracy easier. Meta might want that at this very moment, but they’ll for sure feel differently about THEIR intellectual property.

Without even thinking about big vocal IP holders like Disney.

A book? About programming? Whoa.

They will truly do anything not to admit the problem is cars
