Microsoft shouldn't be seen as an example for good numbering. Leaving off the non numeric versions you get:

1, 2, 3, 3.1, 3.11, 95, 98, 2000, 7, 8, 8.1, 10...

I never realized it before but that explains how they jumped to 7...

95 = 4
98 = 5
2000 = 6

Video started off at 16 minutes 30 seconds after the initial rough cut and after the second pass is 12 minutes 47 seconds and I feel MUCH better about it.

Hopefully YouTube will feel the same way 🤣

eh I'll hold out for the 90 second cut 😆

@verumsolum @Jerm I guess I'm not sure, but I know that Stripe at least gets the last 4 digits, expiration, billing address, etc. Even when using a card directly Micro.blog never sees the number, so it seems comparable from a privacy perspective, but I may be wrong.

In general the credit card system in the US is so broken that it's not worth worrying about these minor differences anyway. At the end of the day, any problems are resolved by the fraud department.

Apple Pay generates a sort of proxy credit card number that is shared and used by the merchant. It can still be (ab)used just like your normal CC number though.

Found a piece of wood in my pecan pie. It was about 1.5cm-2cm across and not tasty

that piece of wood looks suspiciously similar to a pecan... is it in disguise?

Stop calling .org non-profit!

That's funny, I always thought the .org domains were intended for non profits but had no expectation that the registry itself was run as a non profit

why yes I did just plug a USB-C hard drive into a USB-A port and was confused why the computer didn't recognize it.

I blame the fact that I just got off a 14 hour flight.

Ok awesome, I used to use a micro way back in the day and thought it worked well for what it was.

Might have to buy one of the L’s

Thanks Dave 👍

If you get it you should do a comparison video between that and the built in mic. The iPhone mics have gotten surprisingly good, and I think you'll really only do better with a shotgun in noisy environments like expo hall floors.

Well if there's any upside to the .org fiasco it's that more people are realizing how corrupt the DNS + SSL CA cartel is

I think the most frustrating thing with Windows machines is it's not really plug and play. There are some things that need to be changed from the get but once you get over that you have so much great hardware to explore. Gonna make a starter pack blog post about this 🤣

Please do! I just started using Windows again after about 10 years so I'm a bit out of touch.

So I'm trying something new for a bit. I'm currently using a Google Pixelbook as my main computer. I figure that since I do 99% of my work in the terminal or the browser, it probably doesn't matter what I use. I'll report back on my findings!

it looks really nice! I'd miss my local dev environment though.
