There was a period of a few years where I did not have insurance. I’m a pretty healthy person, so I figured the risk was acceptable. The few times I did need to go to the doctor, when I told them I did not have insurance and would be paying out of pocket, they adjusted the prices for me automatically.
I thought it was ridiculous, even then, but I wasn’t going to complain about getting a reasonable price, obviously.

Their robotic sweeper is trying to avoid catastrophe with machine vision. It found what looks (to me and OP) like broccoli. The device thought it was “pet waste”, so it worked around it.
I think it’s safe to err on the side of caution here.

You can still get a USB-C dongle that supports charging and audio at the same time. It sucks that they make you do it, but I’m glad it’s still an option.
can’t even subtract from a timer (it can add, though!)
“Ok, Google, add -5 minutes to the timer”
It either explodes, or you start getting notifications in the past. Seems like a possible win, either way.
people just think its easier to just have tabs sitting around rather than use bookmark
Mentally, I find that leaving a tab open says “I’ll get to that soon”, where a bookmark says “maybe I’ll need that someday”. “Soon” might still be two weeks from now, but “someday” might as well be never.
Bookmarks just aren’t as visible. Think of it like having things that you need to do laid out on a countertop vs having them in a drawer. If you walk by the counter and have a minute to spare, you can see what you might be able to accomplish in that time and check something off. It feels like you need a lot more free time to even want to open the drawer.
Also, managing bookmarks just looks daunting, and the more you have, the worse it gets. When I’m done with a tab, I just close it.
Sometimes, I’ll use the bookmark toolbar, but I don’t see how that’s better than tabs, visually. It just has better persistence.
Lastly, leaving a tab open can also be used like a post-it note to remind me to do something by a certain date. Every time I see it, it acts as a little reminder so that the thing doesn’t fall off my radar. That one gets a little tricky if you have so many tabs open that you have to scroll. I try not to let it get that bad, though.
I can think of about four-twenty-ten-seven reasons not to learn French.

That’s the Mildly Infuriating part, right?
As far as I can tell from the ridiculously tiny thumbnail I have cached, it’s a screenshot of this post about renaming billionaires to “wealth-hoarders”, followed by a post about a news article regarding starving children as a result of war-induced famine in Gaza.
Edit: well, it looks like the error has been resolved.
