In Canada your landlord is required to pay back your deposit with interest, so if you gave them a $1000 deposit and stayed for 10 years and interest is at 5% they would be giving you back about $1600.
Very few actually do this and most of the time interest is so low nobody bothers to fight for it.
I'm not sure why this would be fake, but the word seems too straight and the paired letters too perfectly uniform to be handwriting, it looks like a font.
This is gonna bother me now.
How low-tech is still tech?
I want a device that can be armed and if moved without being disarmed (optional passcode) will set off an alarm.
This is both for my laptop when working in public spaces and for my cooler/food bag when camping.
If anybody knows of something similar I'm happy to be pointed as well. Searching "keyboard accessible keyboard" is understandably nonsense.
Yes! I am an assistive technology specialist - helping people with all kinds of disabilities access computers - and I have a laundry list of little challenges I haven't found the right tool for.
An example to start is needing something kind of like the windows on screen keyboard but that selects letters/keys using arrows and space/enter (a lot like typing using a remote).
The osk has some special feature to not steal focus from where you're typing, but this could instead let you do all your typing and then when you select done run a sendkeys to type in the text (could have clipboard option but this doesn't work everywhere). This also makes correcting errors easier. Bonus if it works with text prediction same as the osk :)
Almost 40, comfortably established with no kids, so life is overall pretty easy.
I got into audiobooks on Libby and have gotten through about 400 in the last 4 years. I listen while I'm driving and sometimes while doing chores, but mostly I listen while hiking or paddling - on a weekend backpacking trip I can get through 3-5 books.
My books are almost all what I would call "human adjacent non-fiction" - science and information related to people and the planet, but I don't find deep science like quantum physics relatable enough to be interesting.
I love to read and learn and wish more people wanted to talk about books, but book people and outdoor people don't overlap that much.
My thought is that the huge decrease in screening during the pandemic is leading to more cases being caught now that things have resumed normal.
Its kind of nice to see a "by race" article showing that race is really not showing to be a factor in this study, every line looks the same.
This is just to avoid becoming the dumping ground for previous gen tech.
If sunrise and sunset is your thing then the website suncalc.net works great to find what places will have the best views for different times of year.
I go watch the sunset as part of my solstice and equinox adventures so finding new places with nice views is fun.
I use the AR tool for sun positions every time I'm finding a tent spot or to watch a sunrise/set, and the bubble level is perfect for finding a tent spot that isn't tilted 2 degrees towards your head so you wake up with a headache.
I have a huge number of content filters, basically stopping just short of blocking the words "left" and "right" but trying to block everything else political.
What I wish I could find a way to do is pick by post language - I have nothing against a user/community, I just don't speak (usually) German.
X mouse button control
It can't detect some of the fancier buttons and gestures but it can often pickup buttons 4 and 5 for remapping, and it does chording and long press options to give you multiple functions without any AI bullshit.
