If it works out as say £150/seat/month to be in the office vs say £600/year for a reliable broadband connection, contributions toward power/heat, and providing a chair/desk/monitor setup, many won't consider the 2/3 cost saving worthwhile.
Because lots of things are written in it, it has good library/tool support, is pretty performant, lots of developers know it, and it's good/flexible enough for most tasks.
It does. Here in the UK at least, it's usually a lot cheaper to take cards than to pay transport (this is a real pain) and deposit fees (the latter is 2% on top of a fixed monthly fee, for my business account) so its usually only tax dodgers that go cash only
I think in the US merchant fees for card transactions are much higher though so may be a different ball game over there.
I thought that was really clever when the supermarkets started offering cashbacks - customers get a means of getting cash easily and they reduce the amount of cash they have to transport and deposit.
Mind you - haven't used that for years and I think most supermarkets have stopped offering it.
I bet when you said a 12 litre jug and a 6 litre jug it wrongly assumed that you required it to actually make use of both the jugs in some way (not merely that they were available for possible use), leading to the pointless step.
Seems right! If you make it more of an inventory list of tools, it answers correctly.
> I have two jugs: a 12 liter jug and a 6 liter jug. I need 6 liters of water. How do I do it?
> GPT-4: If you just need 6 liters of water and you have a 6-liter jug, you simply fill the 6-liter jug to the top with water. You'll have exactly 6 liters! No need to use the 12-liter jug in this case.
I understand why - quite important on Samsungs to use dark mode and not just at night, as their OLED screens draw a less power displaying dark colours, giving improved battery life
> Anyone with an experience with this? I don't want my address and/or phone number publicly visible, so what are my options here?
Depending where you are, you may already be required to share this information, for example any business here in the UK must have their company registration number , registered office address, and contact (email and post) details, on any website.
matters a lot, most orgs have a whitelist of permitted licences, and if some software you want to use isn't on it you have to jump through loads and loads of hoops, so much its usually not worth it.
not at all, I recall that no one (outside of the music industry perhaps) used the phrase 'digital rights management' until iTunes added DRM to music in 2003/2004, other things like the copy protection for videotapes/DVDs/games were just generically called copyprotection, or other domain specific terms such as activation (in the case of things like windows XP), not DRM.
In the UK its technically illegal to rip a CD to your own PC to back it up, for example, see the recent high court case(s) about it where the government won against Brennan (who make hifi gear which can do this) - no different to this app.
In 2014 the government passed a law making ripping explicitly legal. In 2015 the music industry sued and the High Court ruled that the law was contrary to some EU directive and thus invalid. But I don't know if that law was annulled by the court decision, or if it was merely dormant until we left the EU. The Brennan ripping devices are still on sale. Do you have a link to this case?
