Having rented cars a lot, this is actually quite common.

What country, I haven't seen anything but unlimited miles for over a decade.

I referred to the swapping of cars to a far inferior model than you paid for.

However I do also pay for milage (KM), and extending the rental period does often* NOT extend the milage range. Eg 1 month=1000 KM, 2 months=1000 KM, so you need to split the rental periods yourself and do all that hassle, or pay extra.

(*May of course vary depending on the rental company)

This being in Brazil.

Would only need to be at the top, to balance out the camera.

The only reason I use a case is that the iPhone is close to unusable on a flat surface without it.

The iPhone is already heavy as a brick, and a battery is a couple orders of magnitude heavier than a TPU shell covering the same volume.

Pretty sure this is a persistent setting. Don't need to set it per-connection.

Working fine for me right now, from Brazil. Claude via Github Copilot at least.

I'm using Claude Code on the terminal. Not sure if it matters.

  API Error: 529

The promotional double usage period is just about to end too. Sucks.

It's down for me too. A colleague says it's up though - it's possible they're shedding different groups of users (he has the Max subscription, I don't).

> If the person invites me to a online meeting with a signed e-mail, I trust that person that it's really them.

In the interview scenario, generating an email signature is hardly beyond what an AI can do.

You have no prior knowledge of this person or his signature, it's not some government issued ID, it's in essence just random data unless you know the person to be real.

And how would you determine that the buyer intends to play on linux, and not windows like 9x% of the buyers?

This extends past linux. Open source projects get used broadly regardless of runtime environment. Steam is just one open nerve ending where this could be used for good and they have the power to do so (and from what we've seen, steam seems to be a low friction company, less corpo red tape - would you trust say Ubisoft with handling this or steam?). If a game gets deployed to windows, it doesn't matter, as each game/application probably use five or ten or more open source projects regardless of where they run. It can help open source devs keep pacing with steam and game developer needs. Remember a ton of these project have upstream effects outside of gaming - its just the most obvious open nerve we can use to help open source.

You can only show the checkbox on Linux. You can add OS detection to the checkbox and have it say "support our $OS dependencies" and put that into different pots of money. You can make the checkbox say "support our Linux dependencies" and then rely on Windows people not selecting it.

Feels like every time I drop by the office there's 2-3 new faces I've never seen before.

People I know seems to not take issue with them being there, so I'm sure it's probably fine. Fine enough for it not to be my issue to deal with in any case.

> Claude should have gone for native apps and demonstrated that it is possible to do anything with their AI.

Using IntelliJ I actually find myself wishing for an integrated webview of Github Copilot. The native view is absolutely terrible, jumping up and down non stop.

> I also think Steam does a great job a hiding it

Steam kept pushing a game as "recommended for you" with 99% negative reviews.

In what world would I possibly want to buy a game with a <1% approval rating?

There are some odd cases like that, but you can always "Ignore" a game and it'll never show up again. That also feeds into Steams curation for you based on your interests.

> Was forced to verify to get access to a new account. Like, an interstitial page that forced verification before even basic access.

I'm forced to verify to access my existing account.

I cannot delete it, nor opt out of 'being used for AI content' without first handing them over even more information I'm sure will be used for completely benign purposes.

About a year ago I wanted to check out LinkedIn. Signed up with my real name, added my employer and past employers, verified my current work email address etc.

About 24 hours later, when logging in to pick up where I left off, I'm redirected to a page that tells me that my account has been locked. For the safety of my account, I needed to verify my identity to continue.

I refused to do so, for the same reasons this article highlights. So I wanted to delete my account and never return. Guess what? You can't delete your account without first verifying.

It took me a few frustrating months of trying to email their DPO (data protection officer) and filling out forms, constantly being routed to regular support with very unhelpful support staff. I actually contacted the Irish data protection agency thing (I'm not Irish, but european), and while waiting for them to process the case, I miraculously got a reply from LinkedIn that my account deletion was being processed.

Quite an infuriating experience.

I had this problem with Facebook 15 years ago. Nothing new, but as always, people will avert their eyes until it begins to affect them personally.

That's concerning.

Kids in Oz were getting around social media age restrictions by holding up celeb photos. I doubt that'll work in this case, but I'd be tempted to start thinking of ways to circumvent.

At the risk of losing the account, it's a very bad situation they are forcing people into.
