If they can manage this and works with grapheneos as an auto headunit I would do be so excited. Or if I can just cast it basically

I’m holding a bag with $200k USD, and insider information for a publicly traded company that could earn billions. This could be yours if you do this thing for me.

One down, only a few hundred more to go. Might actually be the first time I see action from one of the letters I have written to them every week since trump took office. I am also active with my local government. Still no change. Tell me what should we write and do to a government that doesn’t give a damn about their job unless it comes with cash or saliva?

You mean good traditional values the conservatives push for? Like the good ol days.

Monopoly over me not paying for their stuff? I guess. Seems more like not supporting them to me. If they errode my choice then I make the only choice that gives me agency. I don’t give them my money.

I guess at a certain point I just stop using electronics.

Finally a poll that he would win by a landslide

Interesting indeed. I know I’ll be buying one pretty much no matter what as long as reasonably priced.

That is until the official Motorola partnership happens with GoS and Motorola. It’s the missing piece for integrity verification as of current listed requirements on Google’s documentation. They needed to have first class support from a major OEM. Looking forward to seeing how Google will change that maliciously. This includes attestation.

So it’s like SEO then. It’s always been a scammers game. Blast sites with bot comments about your site, write slop articles that merge things that have nothing to do with what they are named for the sake of SEO, add tags, and specific words through the page. This is just an extension of the scum.

Prob more like half the MSRP which really that doesn’t sound too crazy when you remember they have to cover more than the cost of the phone itself to make a profit. Still insane that they feel the need to make it faster rather than better battery life, cheaper, and larger storage as tech improves.

Is a croc not also a shoe or is it only a clog? Why can it not be both?

Sure if you are only looking at the analogy as the person paying and not how the individual for their income which was the intent and the person paying secondary. Merely called it out so it was not misleading or lacking that bit. Both sales people AND servers have much of their pay based on sale of something. So yes, it’s arbitrary.

Edit: I’ll add one extra bit of context here neither the sales person nor the wait staff know how much they will make that week other than the minimum for the hours worked assuming they made zero commissions or sales. Every single dollar beyond that is not guaranteed. In the eyes of the IRS or other gov orgs dealing with wages, it only matters that they are compensated for their time by the end of the pay period. This is why it is arbitrary. That minimum could be minimum wage or your agreed base pay in the contract if there is one.

I’m good with that. It just wasnt my main point so yeah was a little undersold in the message, but it was included because is important for context. Thanks for bringing it to light.

I dislike tips as much as probably any of us here. I have worked for tips, and distinctly remember how much I wished I could just make a consistent amount that basically came to the average even at a loss of what I was making with them. There were tipped jobs I was working that I made well over some of my first jobs in software engineering even when I worked at fine dining. I still wanted that stability at a loss. Now it’s been a few years removed, but my sentiment remains the same. I’m not saying they should be paid $15/hr or something here but this holds for any job; any person should be able to pay the median low end apartment without gov assistance, should be able to save or invest, should be able to afford food, and a second bedroom for a child with only a single full time job. I want that amount as the low bar even if it’s through the form of welfare but they should still be able to invest in their futures to some degree. This all of course assuming they are semi competent with finances, but I’m not talking high level.

That made as the assumption yes fuck tip systems and fuck commissions. Why am I including commissions when it’s the employer that pays unlike tips? Because of the reason these two are kinda similar both of these jobs incentivize the individual to perform better for higher pay. In theory and practice when averaged together this holds true. It benefits both the company and the individual; at least on paper. This does also leave room to exploit and abuse. Usually this is seen with people in sales who look out for themselves only and will exploit the system even if it costs their peers. For example insurance sales in the US they get some commission or deal as long as the deal is sold. It doesn’t matter if that feature they sold it on was non existent or years in the future they made that sale and get the perk of commission at least for a while until they get canned when the customer realizes what happened. Serving tables isn’t exactly like this but there are things an individual can be rewarded for that may hurt others if they are unwilling to share certain burdens because it lowers their bottom line like idk filling soy sauce containers after hours. They should be getting paid some higher rate of course but that rate is often much lower than what they make with tips so they may not want to do it.

So I do see a practical reason for tips and commission, but I feel they both are bad for different reasons and should not be expected.

Where I live people call this “designated driver mode”. So you could probably imagine the number of people here buying them for this reason.

Yes and this was stated in my initial message. Thanks for reiterating?

Not always. There are sales jobs that are 100% commission, but I’m the same way they do have to ensure you are paid a minimum. The person making the exchange is arbitrary.

Servers are just sales people. Their pay is commonly not from wages when in corporate world built up by commissions. Tips are effectively commissions but rather than an agreed upon amount from the employer it’s with the buyer. I hate both equally.

Just use an agent switcher. That will take care of non browser API checks at least.

That man finally created his swamp to drain.
