I think the real highlight of the Bolt receiver is being able to pair up to 6 devices with just a single receiver.

I think the real highlight is that it is not backwards compatible. So I now have an MX Keys and an MX Master 3s, both on their own dongle.

IIUIC, Unifying receiver used a completely different protocol, but Bolt protocol is just supercharged Bluetooth with some low latency and encryption sauces on top.

The old unifying receiver was also able to pair up to 6 devices.

Sounds nice, except so far I have only one Logitech device that works with the bolt receiver, which is the MX Master 3s.

I also have an MX vertical which uses the unifying receiver. Then I also have a pro x superlight, which has yet another receiver. I believe they call that one lightspeed or something.

So now I have 3 separate adapters for 3 devices, all of which theoretically support pairing multiple devices (I think the lightspeed only does 3 though).


Doesn't bluetooth handle many, many more devices?

It also introduces a ton of lag, especially when more than a single device and some distance is involved (Mouse + Keyboard + Headphones makes my headphones cut out sometimes)

Bluetooth MIDI keyboard + Bluetooth headset = audio glitches. Disappointing.

50% proof alcohol? That isn’t how that works. It’s 50% ABV aka 100 proof.


> 50% proof alcohol? That isn’t how that works. It’s 50% ABV aka 100 proof.

50% proof wouldn't be 25% ABV?


Since 50% = 0.5, and proof doesn't take a percentage, I believe "50% proof" would be 0.25% ABV.


Good catch :-)


Americans. Plenty of business owners happy to pay under the table, steal wages and take advantage of illegal workers with no protections.

People rent out DoorDash and Uber accounts for 20% of the income from people that can't sign up themselves.


I am indeed very worried about all these illegal immigrants taking our very important jobs.

When I order food delivery, get in an Uber, and drop off my laundry at the wash and fold I want an under-educated American!


Do not insult a person’s honest earned livelihood that they work for to support their families.

There are tens of thousands of Americans who are forced to live in Trailer trucks or from their car who often do those sorts of jobs.

They just want an honest living and do not have the opportunities to get higher college education to land well paid white collar formal jobs.

That uber job is often their way to save up for their truck driving license so that they can move to a decent wage to get his/her kids a nice christmas gift, nutritious daily meals for their kids and other emotional needs.

To them, seeing their jobs being taken up by illegal immigrants for lower wages, no payroll taxes to pay, etc. is a very very very real issue to them and a zero sum game being played against their life.


This is such a goofy response. Are you aware that under-educated Americans need jobs, and in fact vote???


That's why we have surging high unemployment! Oh wait it's still lower than when George Bush was president.


People want prosperous livelihoods not just jobs. Do you think those working those low paying dead end jobs are just completely content with having zero mobility or financial security?

That uber driving might be living in their car but at least they are employed right??


if you are buying delivery food, taxis, and laundry services you are clearly an upper class net worth individual. surely you know what’s best for working class americans


Yes I'm a super high net worth individual with a household income of $60K a year.

It's called living in a city, I don't own a car or have a laundry machine.


A laundry machine today could be a risky investment as you don't know how many years it will last. My old flat had a machine that broke down (It was less than 6 months old) and there was a known problem with the model which was to do with the input pad to set the settings. Luckily it was under warranty, but even still the stop was fighting hard to replace it :/ (I think it was fisher and paykel, they used to be good but they moved the manufacturing base from New Zealand to overseas).


My take away from those kind of exchanges is that most people have no idea how other groups of people live


Self exclusion is something that is handled by each states gaming enforcement department. All 34 states that have a self-exclusion program also have wildly different policies.


Is this mitigated by time to get between states?


All examples are 404'd for me.


Hmm. My first thought was that I shared non-public links, but I double-checked I can access them from another machine.


FYI They load fine for me.


Yeah seems to just be an issue with my Firefox configuration -- works fine on Edge.


The pages fail to load on old web browsers.


Apple historically dislikes NVIDIA and I they would likely rather use their own in-house chip team. They also rely on it by virtue of using OpenAI in upcoming iOS release.


They don't like the high margins? :P


TBF Apple dislikes any other company they work with. They're seething with rage any time they cannot do something in-house.


I wonder if the split happened with jobs or after jobs? I thought jobs was good at relationships with everyone else in silicon valley (intel, ati, nvidia, even microsoft)


Apple dropped Nvidia after a few years of Nvidia falsifying thermal specifications on GPU chips.

It drove apple crazy both with high failure rate of MacBooks where the GPU was desoldering itself and general problem of a hot as fuck bottom. Nvidia refused to pay out for damages to Apple as well from what I recall.


To add to that, NVIDIA tried throwing OEMs under the bus when the issues cropped up. It wasn’t just Apple who were affected.

Then a few years later they made up but NVIDIA didn’t want to partner on drivers, so they had another rift


IIRC it was with Jobs. Apple wanted to develop their own drivers for their chips from ground up, and NVIDIA was very secretive of their tech, so things went south.


> NVIDIA was very secretive of their tech

Oh the irony for Apple to dislike others being secretive...


On their own right, they contribute more than many other companies, though. Their kernel is open source, they have given their secret sauces like Grand Central Dispatch away, allowed complex technologies like mDNS (Bonjour), AirPrint, multipath networking to be implemented freely and used widely in a vendor agnostic manner.

macOS is 1000 times better for talking UNIX systems than Windows and is POSIX compliant.

Lastly, they are not hindering the development of Asahi Linux, and did nothing when their devices were reverse engineered. On the contrary, they left a couple of ways open for Asahi guys to boot their distribution directly.

They are not the band of saints, but they are not the underhanded evils like a couple of others.


Forgive us Americans and being bad at metric. I personally wouldn’t have noticed the mistake, but I only have two brain cells.

For other dummies, it should be milliseconds (1000x difference)


400ms seems way too long for a blink. 300us is obviously wrong though.


Stacking is fantastic feature but it's not unique to Cosmic as the current DE for Pop_OS already has this feature.

Also available on Windows with FancyWM, which has been growing on me.


Originally from BeOS, I believe. (Thus the funky BeOS window shape. Still quite difficult to discover.)


You could drag the short title bar with a modifier key to move it from the leftmost position, and non-overlapping title bars would snap together to form tabs.


Several Linux WMs and DEs had this feature a long time ago, when screen space was kind of at a premium. Fluxbox had it for as long as I can remember it. KDE used to have it at some point in its 3.x or 4.x-series releases, I don't recall which one.


I would love to see this in xfwm4


Also available for KWin since a very long time (at least a decade).


I've been running PopOS, but don't see it - the Super+S stack shortcuts don't seem to be available unless I'm missing something.


I think it doesn't work unless you're in the tiling mode. You can also drag one one window into another window.


Instacart, Uber Eats, DoorDash all sell gift cards of $100 for $80 basically year round — when you combine that 20% with other promotions I often have deliveries that are cheaper than shopping in person.


Uber Eats and Deliveroo all have list prices that are 15-20+% above the shelf price in the same supermarket. Plus a delivery fee, plus the "service charge", I've _never_ found it to be competitive let alone cheaper.


Some vendors offer "in-store prices" on Instacart.


Are those usually discounted via coupon sites?


No, I buy them from Costco, Sam’s Club mostly.
