Weird. My txt said the following:
"Hi, it's AT&T. As early as Oct. 2nd, the AutoPay and Paperless discount for customers paying by credit card will decrease from $10 to $5 per line. If you prefer to use your credit card, no action is required to receive a $5 discount."
Sounds like your offer is different. One quick tip if you are looking for other ways to save on AT&T. If you sign up for AARP you can get an additional $10 off of the top plan in addition to the paperless discount on AT&T.
Fair. It does seem like it is just "adventurin'" without high drama. But I will hold out judgement until the last 2/3'rds of the trailer is released. But that being said, it feels a little Storm Blood esque, and while that wasn't high drama, I did enjoy it.
Now there are people who live off the grid in places like Alaska (just watch Life Below Zero) and do it successfully… But these people grew up doing that or studied and prepared A LOT. And man, doing that solo is not easy. None of them seemed to be super healthy or cheerful.
But even in the story they went into town for food and blankets, and they didn't try to winter in a tent.
If they did not setup Legacy contacts (people who can access their account after their death), you will need to either gain access by resetting passwords, or via court order.
The attorney handling the probate might help you, or you can try the legal aids that work with that courthouse.
And as an aside, don't forget to setup your own legacy contacts now and possibly get your parents to do it now. Having gone through this a couple times recently, it was very nice to have the legacy contact access. Made everything simple.
Some Minivans share the same chassis as sedans. I'm not starting to call sedans "Minivans" just because the chassis is shared.
Senior developer here. It is hard to overstate just how useful AI has been for me.
It's like having a junior programmer on standby that I can send small tasks to--and just like the junior developer I have to review it and send it back with a clarification or comment about something that needs to be corrected. The difference is instead of making a ticket for a junior dev and waiting 3 days for it to come back, just to need corrections and wait another 3 days--I get it back in seconds.
Like most things, it's not as bad as some people say, and it's not the miracle others say.
This current generation was such a leap forward from previous AI's in terms of usefulness, that I think a lot of people were looking to the future with that current rate of gains--which can be scary. But it turns out that's not what happened. We got a big leap and now are back at a plateau again. Which honestly is a good thing, I think. This gives the world time to slowly adjust.
As far as similarities with crypto. Like crypto there are some ventures out there just slapping the word AI on something and calling it novel. This didn't work for crypto and likely won't work for AI. But unlike crypto there is actually real value being derived from AI right now, not some wild claims of a blockchain is the right DB for everything--which it was obviously not, and most people could see that, but hey investors are spending money so lets get some of it kind of mentality.
I'm the total opposite. I pay up to double the fare sometimes to fly Delta.
Hopefully this bad press on this incident causes some policy changes at Delta on tarmac delays. That sounds miserable and dangerous.
That txt from ATT about the paperless discount was so poorly worded. Took me forever to realize I can still get the $10 discount if I switch the autopay to a debit card. It's only the credit card autopay/paperless that is getting reduced to $5.
I think it is way more likely they just bought imagery from existing sources. There are tons of high res imagery out there that you can purchase. Price is usually determined by how old it is. This seems way more likely than an insurance company hiring a drone operator and going door to door. Secondly, companies never share the details of things like this. Wherever the source, they are unlikely to share it. Companies don't give details because they don't want to fight you. They just want to cancel your account and move on.
That isn't to say this is right.
Do we want insurance companies peering into our backyards from imagery? I don't. Regardless of if it's a drone or not.
Windows users don't feel any one particular way abut Linux users.
Redditors also do not feel any one particualr way about Lemmy users--in the unlikely case of reddit users knowing Lemmy users exist at all.
I have such mixed emotions about Python. I have to concede its uses. Especially when working with data and data scientists. A lot of people use it. There is a good amount of existing code floating around that can be re-used, etc. Its never the first language I reach for, but I have to accept that a lot of people use it.
But OMG, I have had to re-install my OS more than once due to python versioning issues. Not recently sure, I think I have it figured out now with virtualenv and pyenv, but it literally has caused me to reformat twice after getting too deep into dependency version mismatch hell.
Anytime a website wants to store more than 5MB of data safari asks for your permission first. This page talks about a bug in webkit where it miscalculates how much storage is being requested:

Some people say that deleting all the storage for the site in question in safari settings -> privacy -> manage website data will fix it. Be prepared to log in again after deleting the data.
