My dentist has started texting about appointment reminders and reschedules. It's an automated system but also a person can manually jump into the conversation. I love it because it means I don't have to talk to them on the phone.

It's ridiculous to give such weight and care to silly things like labels.

I don't care what they want to call me in English. My comment was intended to read as dismissive of the entire conversation.

"highly offensive" lol wow chill out bud. It's weird but doesn't bother me at all. Let em call me whatever they want in whatever language they have.

I've felt the same about tablets since at least when the MacBook Air first came out⁰. I was in my early 20s. I don't think that particular opinion has much to do with age. Tablets are a compromise device. They're in between a phone and a computer but they're worse than both.

It's probably due to my age but that would be super weird to do with my peer group unless using it ironically. I'd sooner go with "well" or "so..."

Well actually I've got one in my laundry room too and that one hasn't failed either so it's really a sample size of two. But either way if you don't like it that's why I said for what it's worth.

For what it's worth I've had one of those integrated overhead fixtures in my kitchen for about 6 years. It hasn't failed yet. The overall shape of the fixture which we like also wouldn't be possible if the bulbs were replaceable.

Don't even need virtual box. You can just install Linux directly on Windows using what they call "WSL" (Windows subsystem for Linux)

Good thing the EU is making it so we're not going to have to worry about that for much longer.

Also it is possible to change the battery in your device it just takes some effort. Ifixit has replacement batteries, the needed tools and good instructions for many devices.

That also happens to me sometimes with my note 10. I think it has something to do with the weekly automatic reboot I have scheduled.
