YubiKeys have almost every imaginable form factor these days. Here’s the USB-C version without NFC:
They’re talking about operationally. They don’t want to configure and distribute a bajillion dongles to users.
I never claimed you did. I just clarified which plan you were on, and added how their other plan works. This could be nice for others to know. I don’t know why you’d take that as a personal attack, but I certainly didn’t intend it as one.
I can’t be bothered to research every plan to answer this question, but Mint Mobile was dirt cheap while using T-Mobile service. They probably still are, but it arguably doesn’t count anymore since T-Mobile acquired them.
This is the Unlimited Plus plan. Their Simply Unlimited plan throttles you after 5 GB of hotspot usage, but phone data is unlimited.
They absolutely can, several carriers who use other carriers are cheaper than who they lease service from. They won’t be paying consumer prices to use those towers.
It all depends on what margins they have, what extra services they provide, and whether they have other ways of monetizing you. They might even be reselling at a loss to boost their initial market share. In Google’s case, it’s safe to assume they want your data and sacrifice some margins to get it.
Sounds like you need to give it something to connect to. Buy a cheap analog-to Bluetooth transmitter, charge it from the car and just never turn it off. You’d need to do some research to find one which doesn’t go to sleep. If you need to use your phone in the car, just turn the transmitter off.
The quality of AAC depends a lot on the encoder. The iPhone does it pretty well, Android not so much.
That’s what the audio nerds say, at least. Personally I can’t really hear a difference except when using the headphones with the microphone, when it reverts to some ancient codec with more noise than signal.
I coincidentally tried to update yesterday and it said that the November update was the latest one. I don’t know if I just got lucky with the A/B testing or they pulled the update.
See, those are needed for compliance/CYA. That has business value, so I can work with that. What I’m referring to here is just training on useless stuff for the sake of racking up points.
Sure, if there’s a business need for cleaning the office toilets I’ll stop coding and do it for a day.
In this case it’s “everyone needs to spend a few weeks getting points in the training portal, we don’t care what you do in there as long as you get points”. This clearly doesn’t fulfill any business need, people just do whatever BS is the least effort per point. And as you might expect from an internal training portal, spending 20 minutes in that thing makes me want to stab myself.
Again, if there’s a business need for it that’s a different story, but useless mandates just to jerk people around are a deal breaker.
Do you brag about your long hours, or do you complain about the lack of predictability from management? Only the former matches the statement in the quote.
Management was handing out bullshit busywork recently, and some people were complaining. Then some guy was like “they pay my salary, so I do whatever they want!”
What kind of bullshit wage slave mentality is that? I am the vendor in this scenario, my employer is paying for the privilege of using my services. There can be terms and conditions from both parties of that deal, and if they’re incompatible the deal is off.
It’s perfect for lighting bowls
I’m amazed people don’t get the reference to Gnome devs here. I’m not even a Gnome user and I got the joke right away.
I can! Happened all the time 20 years ago. Since then, no.
I agree Google should fix this, but there is a workaround. You could get a Bluetooth to AUX dongle if this is bothering you. They’re fairly cheap.
If you have ssh/SCP you can use sshfs to mount the remote host as a fuse filesystem. That would let you edit files on your workstation, but more or less all other commands would still need to happen on the remote system.
That’s okay. You’re not the target demographic of every product.
