How else can you get reoccurring revenue through a subscription if you can't remotely brick the device someone paid $2700 for?

I assume it's because Cuomo lost the primary and is running as an independent

Is this a sauron riding a Kyurem from Pokemon?

I think with your example of "call mom" there's some relationship thing in contacts you have to setup, even if the name of the contract is mom. I'm not sure how you tried with calling other people, but I'd suggest changing the contact name for your mom to a very specific name, and then try using that name and saying something like "Call Mary Elizabeth Jones" and see if that works.

Also I'd try initiating voice input different ways. Your car button might just trigger the input and send it to Google Maps. what if you hit the microphone button in Google maps on the screen and then said the command. What if you said "Hello Google"?

Personally I've always found voice input hit or miss, and Google has been constantly changing things it's hard to even keep things straight on what you're supposed to do. I would say your best bet is to try every conceivable option till you find what works, and then use that for as long as you can until Google breaks it.

This feels like some important content you could add to the post, as it's pretty specific to your situation.

Which makes it even more disgusting when people fight to have others removed their credit. There was a writer who basically wrote the first Guardians of the Galaxy but James Gunn wanted sole writing credit after he was hired as the director, so she sued and won before it's release, and got the credit she deserved in the film.

Yeah I don't think this is the best analogy, but the point being is brand loyalty can only go so far. Like if you're going to run out of gas in the next 20 miles and there isn't an Exxon station within 100 miles, do you just pass all other gas stations and have your employees break down on the side of the road?

I just can't imagine any actual competitors to AWS would impose such restrictions on their employees that put them in a worse position to do their jobs, so it's a bit silly that it's coming from Walmart, when they don't compete in that space.

I must say, The Rehearsal season 2 was fantastic and The Chair Company on now is really good, although this price hike doesn't affect me 😉🏴‍☠️

Totally, I understand that, but seemed to be an extreme measure they are inflicting on their employees that doesn't really change anything. It'd be like if ExxonMobil didn't allow their employees with company cars to fill up at a Chevron station.

Ancestry.com and findagrave.com are kinda the funniest examples that could be picked from the sites being affected today. Obviously there's the parallels of AWS being dead today, but I also can't imagine there would be a lot of updates to those sites that not being active on there for some amount of time would miss out on some timely update. I totally hate being in the grove when something out of my control impedes my workflow, don't get me wrong, and can totally see how the outages would be annoying.

[–] bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 days ago

There's so much vendor lock in with AWS, migrating to another provider over an outage even lasting 24h would be a tough sell. This isn't unique to AWS either, each of the cloud vendors have their own lock in and their own problems. If you had the money you could run in multiple clouds, but for most businesses who were only running in a single region, I can't imagine they'd choose this option.

 
 

Today, Celine Dion's management team and her record label, Sony Music Entertainment Canada Inc., became aware of the unauthorized usage of the video, recording, musical performance, and likeness of Celine Dion singing "My Heart Will Go On" at a Donald Trump /JD Vance campaign rally in Montana. In no way is this use authorized, and Celine Dion does not endorse this or any similar use. ..And really, THAT song?

 
 
 

I didn't realize this was the season finale before watching and was mostly confused that was it after tonight's episode. Seems like they started more loose ends in that one episode, maybe in hope of another season, but it felt like it could have used an episode or two more to set that up better. Spoilers below:

The Acolyte - Episode 8 Season Finale Discussion Spoilers

  • I kept expecting the Green Jedi woman to ultimately be behind the destruction of the witches fortress. It still doesn't make sense that the stone structure could sustain so much damage from some paper burning. Maybe bad editing or something in the previous episodes, but seems like there's still a side of a story being withheld.
  • Reveal of Yoda (or yaddle before growing hair!) and who I assume is Plagueis was underwhelming. Either could have been omitted without issue. If they were going for fan service, focus on one. If it is Plagueis, does the timeline even make sense??
  • Honestly, I wish there were more episodes with the Lesbian Witch Cult which weren't all flashbacks. That conflict with the Jedi was interesting (for the two days it happened in universe) and could have explored more of that side of the force before it was killed off. I guess I'm in the minority based on the backlash that received.
  • Kung fu and lightsaber battles were pretty good. Is this the first time in live action a jedi has turned off a lightsaber mid fight? I think out of everything, the choreography was the strongest aspect of the series.

What'd everyone else think?

 

A U.S. Supreme Court opinion erroneously — and briefly — posted on the court’s website seems to indicate that the court will temporarily allow abortions in medical emergencies in Idaho, according to Bloomberg News.
