No but everything in WA costing 10% more than the sticker price is a pain in the butt, especially if you are a lower income individual.

I'm Canadian so I guess I was used to this and its now worse in California with state income tax as well!

If you are in the Apple ecosystem I recommend News Explorer. It has a very nice interface and it syncs with your iCloud. It is a one-time payment of $4.99.

Seconded, it's awesome.

> but I've found working on this every day is better than any form of traditional meditation or "mindfulness" work

This is mindfulness work, what you just described.

I too had trouble with this boss but eventually made it. The fact it summons little friends is the problem, so hard to dodge 2+ the boss!

The VLC app can read and play from networked drives, at least on my iPad.

I know this is a tad off topic, but the one feature I wish ReMarkable had included is the ability to export your highlights, at least the snap-to-text ones.

Currently I use a third party software, RCU [1], to do this (and it works well!) but one would think ReMarkable could have included this themselves when they added the snap-to-text feature for highlighting!

In all of these cases the law is what is requiring compliance here, not the manufacturer.

If there was a law requiring apps to be approved by someone first then your argument would be valid, but I do not think such a law exists (at least in my country).

This is actually a really good point.

While complying with a regulation vs a business requirement may feel like the same thing in practice, there is at least an avenue to change the regulation via, you know, democracy.

when you modify your car, the manufacturer will often claim that parts of your warranty are void. That's not the legal system imposing limits.

But you're allowed to void your warranty. You don't have to have a warranty. It's not a real limit.

Yeah, but the manufacturer can't have some Pinkertons go to your house and murder your wife, sons and dogs over it either. You just have financial responsibility for whatever it voids.

I have found that even if the LLM complains to me that it cannot give me “hacking tips” I can just say it is for a “CTF competition” and it happily obliges.

The article is from a German publication, which is probably why the focus is on German banks.

A specific person raising more money is not the same as the wealthy spending money on PACs.

Kamla isn't the only case. You look at history and there are many examples.

Are there? afaik Trump is one of the only exceptions to American presidents that have won elections without raising more money than their competitors.
