Customer service reps have almost the same information that a customer would have. The only difference is they have a few more tools available to them.
Asking policy questions or anything at this level would likely get no useful info.
Airplanes fly typical routes, so it’s possible, but not guaranteed.
Gemini is wrong quite often. You shouldn’t rely on it to tell you facts.
If I need to double check it, then it’s worthless to me.
It’s also underselling what they are providing.
You get to skip all the AI garbage, all the sponsored links, and the “what other people are asking” sections and just go straight to the search results.
Privacy is the primary selling point, but the clean “old school” google interface is what I’m really excited about. I’ve set my default search in the browser to Leta for now.
Fired it up on the Steam Deck. It’s certainly faster loading into the world than it was before.
I write code every day at my job. I use vim.
It does everything I need it to do, and it works exactly the same way on every system I touch, and functions the same way since I started using it decades ago (aside from being able to use arrow keys now instead of hjkl)
If I HAVE to do any coding on Windows, I use notepad++.
… if they can design and print a case they probably already owned a 3d printer. The amount of plastic used to make the small case is likely just a few grams. Probably around $1 of plastic total.
Yes, the article is pretty light on details since it’s just a rehash of a couple of comments with no actual reporting, but don’t blame the person for designing and printing a neat little case for their hobby. This is a perfectly acceptable way to repair and continue to use some broken electronics.
Starship Troopers had the highest survival rate, so that one.
Absolutely not The Thing because you have no idea if escaping means the end of the world. You’d have to murder suicide the whole place.
Aliens… Maybe. It’s survivable, but just barely. You’d probably want to hold a live grenade with the pin pulled the whole time, so you’d at least never have to be brought back to the queen.
It’s actually not, because the exit condition is “when you get the joke”
