If you're after a small and affordable electric car then you're not exactly in the market for a Tesla anyway. What is this headline?

But we don't all have houses large enough where navigating it constitutes a chore.

It also helped the US supreme court basically doesn't do its job anymore. Had the justice system worked as intended it would have been quite difficult to justify overturning it. It's not like anything new had happened or any new evidence had come to light.

I have a boss who sends the most rambly incoherent emails I've ever encountered from anyone. Yet when he sends a text (It's really WhatsApp but same difference) it's basically four words.

People do not really like typing on phones so they tend not to leave long messages

The other thing that's quite common is to require proof of delivery. Always fun because now the delivery driver has to take an awkward photo of me holding the box.

Why do package delivery companies in the United States seem to just leave the package on the doorstep when the person isn't home. That seems like such an obviously stupid thing to do.

Pretty much everywhere else the package delivery companies would either take the product back with them and deliver it on another day or contact the person via the contact details they have and request a safe place to leave it. Most delivery companies will let you specify this when you make the order.

Or if it's not bin day they can just put it in the recycling bin.

Dude they matched your tone if you thought that that was insulting that's because your original comment was insulting

How about you be less of a dick and people won't respond to you in a way that you don't like

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 17 hours ago

Yeah you mischaracterized the situation

Hopefully not because the kind of batteries that work with this reader are awful batteries. Single use disposable batteries are an absolutely stupid idea we should be moving away from

Well this is a stupid move because what he did technically is illegal. Most companies are not stupid enough to actually try and enforce it but Nintendo have the letter of the law on their side.

There is a reason why Nintendo wins all the time, it's because none of what they're doing is technically against the rules. It's all in the letter of the law even if not in the spirit of the law.

When I first started we had a system to get documents onto a secure network and it was the most batshit insane system ever invented by anyone.

You would print the document off, take a photograph of it with the world's oldest digital camera, It took 3 and 1/4 in floppy disks, then transfer that floppy disk onto a secure network. Run an OCR program on the system to get the text back into a searchable format.

I have absolutely no idea why this was the method, but every time I questioned it I just got told that's the way it is.

I'm fairly sure that the image is even a screenshot from the video. Uncredited I notice.

When you reveal a spoiler the black rectangles go away and it then renders the text in white, but on a white background (light coloured theme) The text renders is exactly the same colour as the background and so you can not see it unless you highlight the post, this renders the background of the post as light grey and there is just about enough contrast difference to now read the text.

When spoiler text is revealed it should render in the same colour as normal text. I'm not sure why it's white.

See images below for demonstration.

spoiler text is hidden

spoiler text has been revealed but is invisible

text post is highlighted and now you can see the spoiler text rendered in white
