I purchased a new coffee grinder off the Amazon. Nothing special, but it was advertised as being able to dial in and dispense enough said ground coffee for X cups. After a week or so of varying quality, I started measuring and the weight was all over the place by about +-15%. However, the grind was always consistent and fast so I still gave the unit a 4 with the caveat that one measure out the amount of coffee they are using.

The seller has been bugging me for months since that one review.

This slashdot community is more fucking poisonous than the comment section on YouTube.

Their moves toward protecting user privacy is absolutely laudable but comes at a trade off for being limited to their walled garden.

Imagine paying $16,800 for some software to watch a bunch of smooth brain apes.

Keep correcting.

There is no DMCA claim, Girls Do Porn uploaded the videos themselves and PH continued to allow them to upload and monetize videos from these women while court cases were in play.

"1) The wipers have an "auto" mode. Regardless of what you may have heard, auto mode works fine 99,9% of the time."

Safety features need to have better than one 9 reliability.

Muscle memory takes time to develop. This makes new owners, people borrowing a car etc, more susceptible to errors that wouldn't likely occur in a normally configured car.

It is entirely an issue. Yes, an edge case issue, but edge cases are important. Changing conventions that have been in place for many decades is not to be done lightly, especially when it is a safety convention. Tesla makes some fantastic cars, but changes like this are not necessary in the least and akin to changing the colour of stoplights to blue just because it looks better.

My fast charge on my Gen1 non-XL is fine, and my battery use while the phone is off is much improved... but while using it, I can almost feel it draining.

Damn man, yeah I remember you from the Dalnet days when we were mods of one of the channels. Your decent into madness started even back then!

"I find it AMUSING how YOU & "your kind" have to HIDE from me via UNIDENTIFIABLE anonymous"

Yet here you are commenting as AC yourself.

Oddly, you strike me as someone I used to converse with quite a lot a very very long time ago.. First name Andrew I believe..

As someone who runs a large ( >21k) community, "Don't be a dick" doesn't fly. Yes, I would love it if that was the case, because I hate editing / changing / adding rules, but don't be a dick lacks consistency in enforcement. There is too much guesswork in how it is to be enforced - even among my mods, the definition of "Don't be a dick" changes from person to person, and I want them to be able to judge without asking "What would Joe do?" or without me having to get involved all the time.

We have certain rules. They boil down to "Don't be a dick, and here's some things that are really dickish moves so don't do them..."

In large communities, cultural norm swings are huge. Some members will be vastly conservative, some will be incredibly liberal. My own community may be more on the liberal side (photographers, models, designers, &c) but a simple don't be a dick alone is just too wide open to interpretation.

Absolutely agreed. I don't get it either.

Exactly. I would love to have a phone from another manufacturer that has the software support Pixel has, but without the lousy build quality. The hardware support from Google is so absolutely horrible. The Nexus phones, those were never really marketed as a premium phone, but the Pixels definitely are and Google really needs to do better for their users.

I had 3 of the first gen pixels. All RMAs and returned and replaced before finally getting one that, so far, works fine and has been for a few months. All with random reboot & lockups, microphone & bluetooth issues.

Still, I really do like this phone.

I do this as well. It's a minor annoyance, for sure, but still irksome.

A few from the front page of goog about the AMD Secure Processor. It does, apparently, run its own OS and have its own flash/memory.
