I do it all the time because the address bar and the search bar are the same bar, on mobile at least. Try it. You open a new tab and get a page with a prompt to type the search term or web address. If you type in the full url with no typos you will be redirected to the correct website. If you do not type the full url you’re getting search results. I do not do this intentionally, I’m just lazy and dumb and it gives you that drop down that looks like it’s saying “oh look here is a link to like Walmart or whatever” so you click on it but it’s search results. This was a very intentional design choice on Google’s part.
Came to say this also. I don’t know why this isn’t obvious.
I was anti using google instead of URLs for a long time. But once browser makers decided to start catering to people who do that by combining the address and search bar…well it happens by accident so often that I’m now one of those people.
The reposting has gotten to a whole new level, and the amount of content pulled straight from tiktok and twitter has increased. Also started to see some very uncanny subreddits climbing into r/all.
I’m done loading that place all together pretty much.
Absolutely! Using open source software is much cheaper, as well. Hiring developers to work on open source software/OSs would cost less than buying software annually. Governments pay stupid amounts of money for easily replaceable software.
It would be nice if governments could make a “software union”, pledging to use the same standards. It seems that everyone is inventing the wheel separately in every country or falling back on commercial industry standards.
F.i. the exchange of financial documents. There’s a standard coming along called SAF-T, and even if it is a standard, every country using it are making their own definitions of what it is. There are also some countries that already have their own completely different standard. The crazy thing is that almost every country worldwide are asking for the exact same info on tax returns, but they’ve all individually come up with that. Only differences is the order of fields on the form.
Same with user identification. Every country has their own almost identical solution for identification, which however does not work across borders, despite the similarities.
It's this. I'll do search terms and append "reddit" or "youtube" if the current list doesn't get me what I need. I'll do "site:" if it's really fucking stubborn.
Neither does the PS5 but there’s a 3.5mm jack and a built in mic in the controller. Sony’s claim is that standard Bluetooth isn’t fast enough to stay in sync with the screen and your control inputs, so they have their own bespoke wireless (but not Bluetooth) headset. I’m happy enough with a cheap pair of wired headphones from the supermarket.
Just chiming in to add that Xbox controllers also have 3.5mm jacks, although they’re annoyingly incompatible with Sony’s 3.5mm Jack to get the mic working (at least last time I tried with a pair of old iPhone earbuds which use the same configuration as Sony).

To be fair, this is kind of true… Most Bluetooth latency is fucking atrocious.
@snowyday ST:VOY did the same back in the days with B’lana’s Klingon DNA, in a quite interesting episode about identity. I reckon the same theme will be dealt with again this time…
the whole show is a bit goofy, and it works in their favor most of the time, as it did with TOS. DSC tries to be so serious, and I find it to be insufferable, mostly because the writing staff doesn’t have the talent to pull it off.
To be fair to other series, plenty of them tapped into the Vulcans’ potential as comedy straight men. This is arguably why we had the recurring conflict of goofy alien Neelix vs. Tuvok on Voyager. Lower Decks doesn’t see a lot of them, but gets a lot of mileage making fun of their uptight nature in Wej Duj. TOS even had some fun poking holes in Spock’s facade-- just look at the end of Amok Time.
But yeah, it’s kinda crazy seeing the shenanigans come from the Vulcans themselves in this show.
Just like how Data was often comedy relief. His misunderstandings (and poetry) may have been comedic, but he himself was never the joke or comic (ironically, when he tried stand up comedy, he was at his least funny. Let’s all pray that Spock never meets Joe Piscopo)
That episode is forever known as the "Enterprise Bingo" episode. I absolutely loved the sub-plot with Una and La'an. It's one of my favorite episodes of Season 1.
Hey GPT-4 right now we have a five second timeout on this page and we’re only getting a .001% conversion. How can we change this to a 10% conversion?
[bloop de bloop AI math occurring]
Why certainly. Improving the conversion rate of a page is a matter of tweaking the right factors via AB tests to optimize the conversion rate, which is defined as the number of people who convert on a page divided by the number of visitors.
To reach a conversion rate of 10% you could set the timeout for 3600 seconds.
Those graphs are scaled so the largest result is always at 100 - so you can’t really tell how many people are doing this sort of thing from this graph. It could be dozens or millions. Having your search country set to only South Africa also seems pretty non-representative.
