The commercial space is the only market Sonos deserves.

Thankfully I was able to steer another potential customer away from Sonos this week!

What a boneheaded move by the Developer. They just tanked their own business.

I am about to log onto Steam and check out the reviews for the game, but I already know what I am going to see.

I just want to know when they will finally allow me to flag all the people and fake profiles who say they work for my company and don't/never did.

The Linux distribution that ships with Windows 10 is called CBL-Mariner.

I had a business that also tried to obtain a LPFM license for years. We began at the earliest opportunity in 2000 and got the runaround until late 2002 or thereabouts when we eventually had to shut down after corporate radio got scared about streaming and our revenue went away.

The FCC LPFM program is a fucking joke. It would actually have been a better and lower risk business decision to go on the air as a pirate station. The same is still true today.

It's also worth noting that the FCC is never actually able to collect on the overwhelming majority of these types of fines. If history is anything to go by, the FCC will collect $0 and this station will remain on the air.

The FCC's LPFM licensing program was supposed to make this sort of thing super simple starting back in the late 90's and early 2000's, but it is such an absolute pain in the ass that it has seen very very little adoption. I think they have only actually issued a few hundred licenses and even fewer stations actually ever made it on the air.

You are correct though that the FCC does essentially zero enforcement of violations unless they have a lot of visibility. Take over a TV station or satellite feed or start jack-jawing on a police frequency and they will bring the hammer. Knock out cellular service in a few block radius, run a pirate radio station for a few years, run 10kW on CB, or put a 50W repeater on FRS? Your chances of seeing an enforcement action are one in a million.

So, IRS, how does this work? Do we just need to report these two people or do we need to report all of their customers individually?

The problem is that Amazon's search has no duty or incentive to be optimized for customers.

Instead, Amazon search is optimized to sell products which are most profitable for amazon. It is designed to prompt vendors to compete with one another. It is optimized to encourage you to buy something, anything from Amazon even if they do not sell the product you need. It is designed to get the customer to buy something as fast as possible. It is not designed to allow products to be transparently compared.

It's a product that looks like it is built for customers, but it's not. Amazon is not so stupid they can't build a good interface; they choose to do it this way instead.

If you want to search amazon for relevant products, it's best to use a regular web search like Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, etc. restricted to search amazon.com. Or even better, just stop buying from a storefront that sucks.

Anyone drumming up controversy over this topic is a complete idiot. Our current technologies have no trouble tracking time/position between different relativistic reference frames.

For a great many years to come, anyone working and living on the moon will keep schedules according to whatever is optimal for the country hosting the lunar expedition. By the time anything more complex would be necessary, such as standardizing work schedules between multiple teams, I'd suspect the desired changes would be rather obvious.

And nothing of value was lost.

Description is crap; the taskbar going blank / not responding to clicks or keystrokes has been a pervasive issue ever since Windows 11 was released. I hit the issue on every single Windows 11 installation I use, even the aarch64 vm I run on my macbook.

Windows 11 explorer idiosyncrasies are a large part of why I have not yet elected to deploy Win 11 to anyone in our org that doesn't need it (WSL2/WDDM3 and the Kernel are improved on win11, everything else is a regression)

The issue with gas stoves (and to a lesser extent, residential stoves in general) is that people use them without adequate ventilation. End of story. Banning gas stoves wont fix the issue; people will continue to burn plastics and volatiles and breathe them in just the same.

If stoves were required to be installed in such a way that the burners or elements could not function unless the vent fan was operating, this entire thing would be a non-issue.

Legislation that doesnt accomplish its stated goal when there is a simpler solution staring lawmakers in the face is REALLY FUCKING INSANELY FRUSTRATING

But how will this work when Clippy does a better job at writing a letter than I do?

Rarely is research so award-focused.
