I got my entire Snapchat gc (15 people) and a little more to switch. The key isn't dropping an announcement of "hey I'm moving", you talk to each person individually; starting with the most likely to switch. Then go up the line, share who you've already got to join if you're met with resistance. if you save the most difficult people for last, telling them almost everyone else is already there is usually enough.

If someone along the way has refused to move for the time being, you can revisit them later after you've got more people to move. I didn't 100% nail my judgement of who would and who wouldn't, but I was able to go back and revisit those who didn't.

If you can, reach out to people in person; I got a few this way. You have to express that you will not be accessible otherwise and will only be present on signal moving forward. It helps if you have a reputation for following through :3

Likely not everyone is going to move over. I've accepted that there's some people I probably won't end up talking to ever again. I've got my main group over, the ones that actually respect that I want more security (and less clown-show shit that Snapchat has)

Human nature wants to stay put, you have to have some strategy or it won't work.

Also a lot of people are pissed at Meta for lobbying for TikTok's ban. Use that with the relevant people, if applicable

#1 Reason I still root is for adaway #2 reason is spite because Google thinks they own my phone

A fine addition to my collection pcworld blocked from loading using adaway

Steam says the collection was released August 7th, 2020. If I remember correctly it was earlier in the year that amogus popped off. But, then again, it has been almost 5 years...

Edit: I was wrong, Google trends shows the initial bump right at August 2020. Just misremembering

Yup, took off soon after COVID hit

Technically it was released like 2018 or something, but it wasn't popular untill then

It's been half a decade, I still can't fucking believe this meme is still going

This. Don't rush it. Stay as just friends for a bit. The easiest way to lose a friend is to develop a romantic relationship with them. I'd love to be friends with, or as good of friends as we used to be, with some people, and all you can do is regret it.

That being said, you can't live a life free of any regrets; if there's wind in your sails, don't leave the anchor dragging.

Now, I would certainly never do this, but almost all TIs that were allowed on SATs and other standardized tests had a program function. These programs didn't necessarily have to run, you could just type whatever like a text file.

The proctors knew about this, and made sure everyone would clear their calculators memory before the exams, and go around to everyone's seat and ensure they had a "memory reset" screen.

That's all well and good; except TIs have an "archive" function. This allows a program to be stored through a memory reset, whilst still displaying the same screen.

As far as I'm aware the proctors never caught on to this. I only discovered it because I didn't want to keep losing the actual programs I was writing in class.

You're looking for reolink stuff, just about the only ones that are still real ipcams and not IoT cloud spyware

Hope to see this back ported to my surround sound system, but I doubt it

 

Edit: Conclusion at the bottom

I just sent my ThinkPad X13 Yoga Gen 2 in for service the other day, it hasn't yet reached the depot but I'm worried after seeing reviews online about Lenovo's customer service. I know people are definitely more likely to write a review if they have a bad experience than a good one.

The repair is just for the TrackPoint, which hasn't been really up to the old ThinkPads I've had (T23, T43, T61, T410, T460) and had recently stopped going to the right entirely. TrackPoints are the only reason I still buy ThinkPads and not something like a framework (and I don't think I can go back to non 2-in-1 laptop after this last one)

I also took the NVMe drive out and swapped it with one that had a fresh install of windows 11 on it so that I could use my data while it was sent in. Will they refuse to work on it if they have a non oem drive inside?

AFTER REPAIR EDIT: Just got it back from the warranty center! Instead of replacing just the TrackPoint module, they replaced the whole top cover & TrackPad (I did mention that it was having similar issues to them). Came with the factory plastic on it. They didn't try to short-change me in any way, didn't try to argue that it was normal or that it was wear and tear or anything like that. It works better they day it was new, and all of the scuffs that I had on the corners are now gone (so is my intel sticker but I can live with that).

In regards to the SSD being out, they didn't say anything or refuse service because of it. I was up front that I had been inside the device before I had sent it in, so YMMV, but all in all 10/10 experience

Started an update for a minor version and it's been like 20 minutes and I have no display out from the nas and I can't access it over the network. This is the first update I've done on the system how long does this usually take and when should I try rebooting it?
