Yeah but like everything in life, it's a trade off. Most people cannot maintain their own home surveillance system without the help of a company like Amazon or Google. These people have to decide between no security cameras or security cameras with caveats. I don't think it's fair to criticize people who choose the latter. The unfortunate truth is maintaining a security system that works well is very difficult, time consuming and can be unreliable. Even most of the tech savvy people I know just end up paying a company like Amazon to do it.

No injuries were reported

Phew. That's a relief.

I had to go crawling back to Samsung because the pixel 9 is too large (and heavy) for me. I was using a pixel 5 before my screen died earlier this year :(.

Edit: to clarify I'm not using a foldable phone, I just have their S24 which is apparently the smallest phone on the market I could find these days that isn't out dated (Zenphone).

I believe there is a a keyboard case called Clicks however it appears to only be aimed at iPhones. If it's a huge deal to you this is one possible solution.

I also think it's really hard to engineer a good slide phone. Modern smartphones are already really compact. So you either (1) make an affordable slide phone with terrible specs and ok engineering or (2) make a slide phone with excellent specs and engineering but costs a huge amount of money. And I am going to guess most small companies cannot engineer anything like (2) so you just end up with slide phones with bad specs and it's only selling point is that it has a sliding keyboard. This phone will not sell well.

Don't birds spend a lot of time preening every day though?

Why don't we just 3d print fake, plastic corals and put them into the sea? It will look about the same right?

This is technically a question specific to Canada but maybe it can be applied to other countries as well.

I have a fixed number of stocks in a regular investment account and in a Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA). For non-Canadians the TFSA is like a personal investment account except there is no capital gains tax. Last year I maxed out my contributions to my TFSA but I wanted to save more money so I put some funds into a personal investment account. This year due to the economy I can't save as much so I have extra contribution room in my TFSA. So my question is, should I just sell all my shares in my personal investment account, transfer the money to my TFSA account and buy the same stocks there? Are there any downsides to doing this?

Summit - A Lemmy reader (play.google.com)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by idunnololz@lemmy.world to c/android@lemmy.world
 

Hello! I recently just released a Lemmy reader app for open beta. I've been working on the app since the black out about a week ago.

The app is will very much a work in progress however the core reader functionality should be working. I will continue to work on the app and estimate it will likely like a month before all core features will be implemented.

That being said, I've been having a lot of trouble browsing Lemmy on web and I still think the app is an upgrade over the raw web experience.

If anyone is interested please give the app a try and let me know what you think!

Here's a quick demo as well: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/MMpMHwzTuII

Update

I started a community at https://lemmy.world/c/summit. I will try to post frequent updates there.
