ares35@kbin.socialto politics @lemmy.world•Live Updates: Trump Lashes Out After Conviction in Misleading Speech9·1 year agothe news on regular tv last night was totally lopsided. tons of ‘reaction’ from the right and far-right, hardly anything from anyone else.
ares35@kbin.socialto News@lemmy.world•Amazon, Walmart, and Target finally realize their colossal pricing mistake—now they’re slashing costs to win back customers1·1 year agothe only one within an hour of here has very high prices. they basically feed off of walmart hate, and charge those customers a premium for the convenience of not having to drive an hour (each way) to get to the next nearest store that isn’t them or walmart.
ares35@kbin.socialto News@lemmy.world•Amazon, Walmart, and Target finally realize their colossal pricing mistake—now they’re slashing costs to win back customers12·1 year agoya. basically they hit that ‘tipping point’ where the increased profit margins from the higher prices is no longer keeping up with the decrease in sales volume resulting from those ever-increasing prices.
10 years, double the prices? ain’t that far off.
at our mcd, at least that much for many, if not most, things on their menu. everything i (used to) buy there, anyway. and way more than that for the former ‘dollar menu’ items. beverages the least affected, although it’s now probably double, too (the large cup shrunk on top of the ~ 90% increase since then).
and that’s pretty much where the similarities end.

correct; acquired in 2013.
ares35@kbin.socialto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•This automatic faucet that need the hands to be between the wall and the water to turn on.19·1 year agoat the office we have the ones you have to push down–and hold for the water to run. i’ve encountered them elsewhere and you get 10-20 seconds before the water shuts off… ours doesn’t. by the time you get your hand down to the water, it’s shut off.

ares35@kbin.socialto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Was this considered 'piracy' back in the day?13·1 year agoad-skip to present day. encryption and drm is being introduced into the new atsc 3.0 broadcast standard, and some stations are already using it.
ares35@kbin.socialto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Have you ever bough an external hardrive only to take the disk out of it?3·1 year agoi bought a few smr drives, knowing they were smr. they were cheaper, a lot cheaper than the same amount of space in cmr. used only for static media storage, so that’s not a big deal, really., but holy hell was it slow getting stuff on them initially.
i have a few self-powered externals that are also smr (quite common with those as they use 2.5in notebook hdd). when those things have to start shuffling bits around and rewriting tracks, sustained write speeds fall well under what even usb2 can send.
ares35@kbin.socialto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Have you ever bough an external hardrive only to take the disk out of it?8·1 year agoi bought a big external hdd recently on impulse… a clearance sale. it was really, really cheap. with the thinking that i could ‘shuck’ it because i’m short on space in a couple storage systems. i checked. i can, but i haven’t. hell, i haven’t even used it yet other than to run a full smart diag on it, followed by a full format and a read/write verify. took days. then i put it back in the box and have basically forgotten about it until now.
you have to be careful on what models you buy. some have usb built onto the controller board (no internal sata) or other things (e.g. encryption chip, weird power) that make it more difficult or even impossible to use the internal drive in an environment other than the enclosure it ships in.
