I have an iPad Mini. I got it mainly for studying and reading. However, it also has become great for being an instrumentalist. I can toss it in my bag, setup it up with the folding case for sheet music, tuning, and everything else. It saves me from having to carry my sheet music books, tuner, and other bits around.
I just returned something on AliExpress last week.(Wrong items sent.) Sagawa showed up at my door to collect the package, I paid nothing, and AliExpress refunded me before it even left the country once Sagawa notified them that the package was collected.
> In addition, the annoyance of these gates comes from having to fiddle with the wallet, etc. in order to find the card or the phone, or the fact that multiples tries may be required for the reader to actually read it;
The NFC readers on the gates in Japan will read cards from several centimeters away. My phone, which has Osaifu-Keitai setup, can be left in my bag and I just wave my bag over the reader as I walk by. It is incredibly rare for a misread to occur. They just work.
No, they don't. Even TFA itself points that the moment you have two cards in close proximity, the reader will read nothing (and he points this as if it was a feature). This is why I have to stop and take my cards out of the wallet every time I want to go in.
It needs to be closer to where the acronym is first introduced. The definition, on my screen, is below the fold so it can not be seen in context of where the acronym is first introduced. If it was defined below the title, I would understand.
This is a somewhat useful feedback, however I am not too sure how this can be fixed given the structure of my blog post. Do you think if I just add a line `*WSC is short for Windows Security Center` in the first paragraph this will be enough?
In this post I will briefly describe the journey I went through while implementing defendnot, a tool that disables Windows Defender by using the Windows Security Center (WSC) service API directly.
Or use the abbr (and its title attribute) that was designed for that purpose; no extraneous "flow" breaking required. Mobile people can long press on the indicator to read more, everyone who magically knew what WSC gets to continue to know what WSC means
The typical solution, is to include the expansion in brackets after the first use.
Simple rule I learned on my Electronic Engineering degree (where we're guilty of many, many acronyms): When you write an acronym/initialism in a paper (or anywhere for others to read reall), assume the reader doesn't know what it stands for and include the expansion in brackets immediately after the first use.
EDIT: As my sibling comment also suggests, writing it in full the first time, and using the acronym/initialism in brackets is also acceptable.
I just read the entire article being a bit confused and it wasn't until I read here that I realized that the name of the replacement application is "Windows App".
It responds to the scrolling, leaving agency to the user, instead of hijacking scrolling, that steal agency from the user, that some web sites do. It's so much better of a solution and friendly to accessibility.
The technology can absolutely be better. When I worked retail over two decades ago those scanners were fast and I can scan back to back with no noticeable delay.
I bought my Sunbeam in 2022 for $44, brand new. The secret is to buy them in Japan off the flea market sites. Apparently in my case the owner bought it have around as a piece of Americana. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I have the same experience confirming memories with my parents. A few years ago they finally got garbage pick up service again and mentioned it to me.(Tiny area, roughly 1,000 people, so that service was not feasible until recently.) To which I replied, "Oh yeah, it's been like, 30 years since you last had it." They asked how I knew that. "I remember you carrying me up the driveway to drop the dirty diapers in the bin." They were both surprised that I remembered that and could confirm it.
However, the time that a giant plate glass mirror fall off a wall at a department store and crashed through me when I was about two years old? No idea. My parents had to tell me about that one later in life.
