I’d love to see an integration with PhotoStructure in addition to Immich.

Their products are still solid. Any brand can have issues with their batteries (other companies use the same cells), and I don’t see a reason to avoid their non-battery products like cables and chargers.

I’ve got a PowerCore 20000k (20Ah). I wonder why the 10Ah version is “fire-prone” but the 20Ah version isn’t.

Transfers are usually pretty quick these days. Sometimes I transfer money from Schwab to Fidelity at night, and it’s already available the next morning.

In the USA, a lot of the larger banks and brokerages (and maybe credit unions?) internally use systems like FedNow or RTP, which allow for instant transfers to other banks. It can take a little while if they do extra security checks though.

Some people aren’t good with money management and may forget to transfer money across, especially for scheduled things (bill payments, rent, etc)

Small banks are good too. I used to use a fantastic local one called First Republic where every customer had a banker they could call or email if needed. First Republic were acquired by Chase, who wanted some huge amount of money in the account (something like $200k) to get a similar level of service through Chase Private Client. I closed the account.

Good catch - I should have said that it’s closer to Windows-style ACLs rather than implying that it’s actually the same.

Windows perms are pretty locked down though. Sometimes I can’t delete my own files because I need permission from “Administrator” :/

You can actually use Windows-style permissions (ACLs) on Linux via setfacl.

How’s it compare to Hoarder/Karakeep?

TIL my gender is legs.

Because of various privacy legislation, and people not wanting Google to track them as much, they stopped syncing the data to Google servers. As someone who’s worked at big tech companies, my guess would be that storing so many people’s location history was flagged as an issue during a privacy audit.

It’s entirely local now. You can enable encrypted backups and back up the data, however you can really only have the data on one device now, and the web version is gone.

Why are there so many moth posts these days? Isn’t that an old meme?

(no taxes on charities).

What type of taxes are you talking about?

When you sign for something, they’re supposed to verify your signature against the signature on your ID, credit/debit card, etc. Companies have gotten lazy about this, though. For example, the last time a store asked to see the signature on the back of my credit card was maybe 10 years ago?

Plenty of companies don’t actually check signatures these days.

There’s 29 Microcenters in the USA! One just opened near me.

They’re independent contractors but they’re still working for Amazon, and Amazon does the job of recruiting and training them. My point was just that they have to take responsibility rather than saying “that’s Doordash’s fault and you need to speak to them”

A lot of companies have moved towards using Uber or Doordash for same day deliveries.

I don’t like buying stuff from Amazon, but they’re the only company I’d trust for same-day at the moment. They directly employ the delivery drivers (via Amazon Flex) so you don’t end up with issues where Doordash and Best Buy blame each other and neither takes full responsibility.

Even if there was a signature required, the driver could just forge it.

Does your FedEx still check signatures? In my area they stopped during it during COVID and never started doing it again. Even on packages that need a direct signature, they’ll leave them without collecting a signature.
