Ublock origin – best ad blocker

Aside from Firefox + Ublock origin, I have Firefox focus. Its ad blocker has let thru disappointingly many ads.

Been using my Samsung a70 for almost 3 years and I knew re touch sensitivity only lately. I don’t want scratches on my screen so I’ve always wanted a tempered-glass protector. I’m on my 3rd tempered glass. Since I made the screen more sensitive, I haven’t felt that it’s more sensitive but my on-screen fingerprint reader seems more accurate.

I’ve noticed that more and more apps are requesting my location. 😑

Yes, it doesn’t mean much if the fine is 0.0001% of Android’s $.

I read that pairdrop.net was 👍 too.

Sponsorblock’s been epic! Props to the coder and the contributors.

Why is Firefox getting involved in ads? 💵? To reduce their dependence on Google’s payment for keeping Google as the default search engine?

Real estate investment scam. I wonder if Coffeezilla is working on it.

That Bill Burr clip was 👍. Dogpack has 👍 taste.

Exfat if you wanna use your usb drive on Macos or Linux.

I have Windows so I’m OK with Ntfs.

About 10 years ago, my usb drive was Fat32 by default. I changed it to Ntfs due to Fat32’s 4-GB cap. 1080p movies that were 4+ GB were getting more widespread then. I’m using Ntfs till now.

I’m awaiting the day a firm makes a practical quantum computer. I’ll be stoked on that day. Idk how folks will write programs for it or if the idea of “program” will apply to it at all. Will it make things faster? Like compiling code or frames per second in gaming?

👍 article. Firebricks may accelerate our transition to sustainable energy.

Was the tablet’s touchscreen as responsive as iPad’s? What was the operating system? If Windows, I can see how it failed. Previous versions of Windows were mouse-and-keyboard-first. I think Windows 8 was the 1st to truly consider touch and iPados was still better.

Microsoft had an Arm Surface device a few years ago. It had a 💩 chip.

I viewed “let’s play” series of Alan Wake 1 and 2. Just wanna share my thoughts re AW2. There are spoilers below.

So much reading. Yes, you can skip a lot of those. Yes, the title is Alan Wake 2 and Wake is a writer. But a gamer who very much dislikes reading may be turned off or think “I may be missing much by skipping most of the reading, so I’ll drop this game.”

It seems Alice is alive. So she’s been living sans Alan for 13 years minimum. Extremely :(. I wanted a :) end for them. I can imagine an AW2 where the year is 2013 instead of 2023, and Alan was able to escape the “dark place” in 2013 and live with Alice happily. The writer (I dislike Sam Lake’s writing so I’m not saying Sam Lake) can figure out the plot gymnastics in between to make the game so interesting.

Scratch slew Jaakko Koskela so easyyy. So powerful. He could just slay Anderson, Casey, Cult of the tree and the Fbc at the start.

The Fbc’s light arrays placed far from each other outside the sheriff’s station were plot convenience.

Anderson aided Wake with writing the end despite Wake inserting Logan and David in the tale. Meh.

Sarah and Barry were sidelined. :(

Sam Lake most likely disliked a fairy-tale :) end for AW2 but don’t say that in horror, the hero must pay a price to save his pals (or something like that) like it’s a rule.

It’s time.com’s best 2023 game but it’s 👎 for me.

If he did conduct illegal lotteries, what a 💩 way to treat your viewers, many of whom were kids, seemingly. He said something like “The 10th buyer in the next 5 min will win 30000.” right? Did those winners get their prizes? If no, it was a scam.

The 💤 deprivation was inhuman. The running thing was cruel.

He’s an ex-worker at Jimmy’s firm. If everything he said is false, it’s an easy defamation lawsuit for Jimmy versus him. He dug his own grave. I think he wasn’t dumb to do that. The points he made made sense to me, except the legal stuff. I’m not an attorney. Anyway, we haven’t heard Jimmy’s side.

I think Dogpack is brave. Jimmy and his attorneys can cook up a worthless lawsuit to hurt Dogpack financially. Jimmy is so rich legal expenses won’t be problematic. While Dogpack may have a hard time with legal expenses, I think.

It’s like Logan Paul versus Coffeezilla. Logan is so rich; Coffeezilla isn’t.

I can see how some may see the farming as grinding. Different folks have different preferences in gaming.

It’s not grinding for me. I have the beach farm so I can’t put so many sprinklers. I need to water some of my crops manually. It’s OK.

I don’t plant so many crops so I have time to explore at the end of my day.

I lack iridium ores to upgrade my tools to iridium level but it’s OK. I hope I’ll get many iridium ores in the future.

I don’t feel any passive-aggression from my fellow villagers.

Buy hay if you run out of it in winter?

Are you enjoying? If no, I suggest altering your playstyle or making a new save for a cozy playstyle. :)

Thanks.

The problem says “Some boxes hold 10 clips and some boxes hold 100. He has some clips left over.” I think it’s a poorly worded problem but let’s just suppose that “some” means 2 minimum. I read a comment that went like “If you’ll say that there are some donuts and I’ll find out there’s only 1 or 0 donut, I’ll be disappointed.” Sensible.

It’s assumed that Brian put clips in boxes as much as possible, so the number of leftovers is less than 10.

x2 = x1 + 3

n = x2 − 2

x2 should be 5 minimum

The total number of clips is 523, 634, 745, 856, 967, 1078 or 1189.

I asked Llama 3.1 (405b), Claude 3.5 sonnet and Chatgpt 4o after I solved it. I edited the problem to improve it. I was curious if any of those could solve it. Claude 3.5 sonnet and Chatgpt 4o did. Llama 3.1 (405b) got 523 but didn’t talk re the other answers. A follow-up of “Are there other answers?” yielded all the 7 answers.

The last time my scarecrow was wrecked, I saw multiplying stones and wood. My mindset now is to remove stones, wood and weeds and I won’t have any concern.
