I always travel with my GL.iNet GL-MT3000 (Beryl AX) and this is what I use it for:
- My wife and I travel with multiple devices (laptops, phones, Chromecast...) and when we get to a hotel/Airbnb, I simply connect my Beryl AX to their network (it deals with captive portals btw) and all of our devices automatically connect.
- I changed the `/etc/hosts` directly in the router, meaning I can test my local servers under custom domains easily on my other devices like phones/tablets without apps like SquidMan.
- I route specific domains through specific VPNs. Government websites, streaming websites, AWS services, etc.
- I can plug in a 4G USB modem into it and it can automatically fallback to it if the main connection drops.
Yeah I understand the frustration, I had issues setting up ESLint/Prettier years ago and spent a few hours getting the Biome configuration right. Also a monorepo with ~4000 TS/TSX files. If you ever feel like trying it again, make sure that you have "files.maxSize" and "files.ignoreUnknown" set. And be very careful with the "files.includes" list.
Idk, I'm having a good experience with Biome 2 in a large codebase. 4s to do a full-check including floating promises, undeclared and cyclic dependencies, and sorting imports. Our ESLint setup used to take almost a minute. The Biome team has been fixing bugs on a daily basis. Version 2.2.0 (released 3 days) ago addressed a common high-CPU-usage bug, try it out.
Edit: it's not 4s anymore, I just measured with the latest version and it takes ~900ms. Insane.
I'm dealing with mime types and max file sizes for an uploader, and improving error messages. Instead of relying on the file name to detect the mime type, I'm using the file binary header instead to reject dodgy files (for ex a `sample.jpg` file that is actually a ZIP or EXE under the hood).
30yo Brazilian here. I nor anyone I know have heard of issues with electric shower headers. Electricity in Brazil is highly available and relatively cheap. I actually think they're amazing and I would pick it over any gas shower out there, they heat up pretty much instantly and some models even offer high precision temperature control of 1 degree Celsius.
A few months ago I ordered an Uber Black in Bangkok and the driver showed up in a C300 AMG. I know it's not a high-end model (~50k USD), but I was shocked at how cheap the entire car felt. The leather is worse than the one used in base VW models, the armrests are pathetically small, visibility is bad. I'd 100% prefer to be a passenger in a Corolla or Camry.
I recently drove more than 1000 miles from Sao Paulo (Brazil) towards the south and many cities looked dry, completely covered with soybean plantations, and they're growing quickly [1]. Brazil basically exports a shitton of water in the form of meat. We have 36 million hectares dedicated to soybeans alone, that's Germany's total area. I wonder how long this is going to last.
You're correct about Pix, it averages at 0.22% [1]. It's free for personal transactions and some card/POS machines have zeroed the fees when you scan a Pix QR code to pay at small shops. It's currently the most popular payment method in Brazil (credit card is second) [2]. It's slower than just tapping my Apple Watch to pay, but tap-to-pay with Pix is in development and I can't wait for it. Installments are also coming. Our Banco Central is really pushing it and the big banks are not liking it, at all. Good.
A nice side-effect of it all is that many credit cards are offering great rewards without any annual fee. I get year-round access to VIP lounges at any airport here, car/travel insurance AND cashback/miles for $0, it's a very different scenario from say 5 years ago.
I drove and walked all over SF a few months ago, and while I agree it’s feasible, the lack of bike lanes is disheartening, much worse dedicated ones. Your standards are so much lower, it looks like your tax money goes into a blackhole never to be seen again, and I’m saying that from a very corrupt third-world country.
My car stays in my garage 80% of the week, I only use it when visiting other cities on the weekends. I chose a relatively dense Brazilian city and I do everything here by bike or on foot (about 6-8mi per day). People have started noticing that I'm looking healthier, fitter. It'd be very very hard to do the same in any American city other than New York, you people are trapped.
There's sooo muuuch typing lag it's unusable for me, and I'm on a top-of-the-line MBP. I have already tried different browsers, disabling extensions and the Electron app.
Is this satire? You'd end up with 130-140k post-tax. Are you single? How much are you spending on rent, food and transportation? Genuinely curious. I know it's not an absurd amount of money in cities like San Francisco, it wasn't when I was living in Sydney, but broke?
