Thank goodness Robinhood is a thing but it’s like it’s made to be complicated to keep certain people intimidated. Anyways how’s ur day?

Wow. Me too. Hats off to you man for still producing dope content!

Wow I’ve been too busy to be on twitter a lot this week and I feel like I’ve missed everything.

So a phone came out or something huh?

😆 I am so doing this at my workshop to a room full of software developers tomorrow

I'm charging the OEM battery now, but I've never had this problem before. Its really weird and happened with two separate batteries.

No, its an off brand battery and I think that might be the problem. My OEM battery is dead right now though so I can't check.

implicit is good to go ..query on password - If password flow is deprecated then how we achieve those use cases which this was addressing..like migration of legacy clients..which flow we can use for those use cases

The agenda for @Identiverse

I finished giving a lecture to my college students with the phrase, "alright, I'm done" and it was so satisfying. @GeraldUndone

Here’s my number one tip for anyone that wants to be a Youtuber/Online creator.

Be nice.

You never know what bridges you are burning by being a jerk.

Word of mouth will both get you opportunities and keep them from you at the same time.

I know these questions are for @podcastage, but I'm just going to jump in here. It does have zero-latency headphone monitoring, and it uses a USB-C output.

Does the .shx file do anything or is it just a redundant index into the .shp file?

Hey @aaronpk! There's no option to send it to Brazil. Really would like to share it with my friends here.

Appreciate you sharing this feedback - we'll highlight this to our engineering team for their consideration. More detail about our security practices here: https://www.notion.so/Security-6c56b4854b624b0d8f36711018647f68

Apparently they use login tokens with 90 day expiration:

Not sure why, it might be the most frustrating part of the UX.

@aaronpk Yes.

I managed some computers remotely on a ship outside Africa once, they paid thousands of dollars equivalent per month for satellite equipment and internet, but only got 768 down and 256 up in kilobits.

We used to split it up into 512/128 for the servers, and 256/128 for the few clients to browse the internet (5 shared desktop computers), both splits with sad attempts of QoS ontop of them of course.

But after Windows 10 landed we just had to give up, one or two computers would barely work on 256k, but if we connected up all of them, the 256k of bandwidth didn't work. As long as three or more computers were powered on, even doing nothing, you were lucky to browse anything. With four or five machines powered on, you could just give up, nothing would ever load.

Eventually we gave up, giving all bandwidth to the more critical servers and said "sorry, no internet". Leaving all outside-world communication to go via the server, in the form of things such as low-bitrate VoIP calls or E-mail.

It's sad that 15 years ago, we were happy to finally get 768k broadband to replace our broadband, and I even downloaded torrents with that connection.

Yet now, with only a few Windows 10 computers, that whole broadband line could be almost entirely spent on forced telemetry.
