Ozempic's maker is just trying to protect Americans from the harmful side effects with the unconscionably high price.

Depending on your needs, virtual machine might be the easiest solution.

There's a bug with the side buttons. After you long press a side button, the next short press won't do anything. Kind of annoying.

Their "brand-new UI" isn't much of a change. At least, I haven't noticed any significant improvements. Toggle buttons are now rectangle, instead of the rounded pill shape, and some icons are different. I think they changed the system font, but I changed it back.

Dark Mode in Neo Reader is an improvement, except that I don't use that app. Quickly tested it, and it doesn't seem to invert images, so you won't see them in dark mode. Systemwide dark mode would have been a significant UI improvement. Hopefully they'll come up with one some day.

The best improvement I have noticed is the new anti-flicker feature. When using "speed" refresh mode (I think it's called "balanced" on other devices), the display flickered annoyingly if there was any animation.

Loose-leaf tea steeped in a gaiwan, which ever tea leaves I happen to have.

I am so oversensitive to caffeine, that I tend to lose my sleep if I drink even a cup of coffee a day. So, if I drink coffee, I prefer decaf. There are some good decaf coffees nowadays.

Fun fact: Black tea is called red tea in China, because of the color.

L-theanine might help with caffeine's side effects. Theanine is a compound found in tea. It's believed to reduce the negative side effects of caffeine, without affecting the positive effects of it.

Absolutely bonkers, they were testing that thing so close to population. There are residential areas within about 1km/mile from the test site. In one of the videos, it sounds like the blast wave destroyed some window. So, even if that thing would have only exploded during the test, it would have caused harm in those areas. Luckily, it landed on an empty area.

Olkiluoto 3:n vuosihuolto päättyy päivitetyn aikataulun mukaan 28.4.

Syynä kahdeksan päivän lisäaikaan ovat vuosihuollon aikana löytyneet uudet viat ja tarkastuslaitteiden tekniset ongelmat.

Saa nähdä saako ne tuon käyntiin OL2:n huoltoon mennessä. Tämän hetkisen tiedon mukaan OL2:n huolto alkaa samana päivänä kuin OL3:n huollon pitäisi loppua.

Olkiluoto 3 -laitosyksikkö (OL3) irrotetaan sähköntuotannosta lauantaina 2. maaliskuuta huoltoseisokkia varten. Sen arvioidaan kestävän noin 37 vuorokautta.

Yhteensä erilaisia töitä on OL3:n huoltoon suunniteltu noin 1 900 pitäen sisällään noin 6 500 työvaihetta. Vertailun vuoksi esimerkiksi OL2:n vuosihuolto pitää sisällään noin 550 työtä, joissa on yhteensä 1200 työvaihetta.

OL3:n osalta vuosihuollon merkittävimmät työt ovat polttoaineen vaihdon lisäksi suojausjärjestelmän ennakkohuoltotyöt, automaatiojärjestelmiin tehtävät ohjelmistopäivitykset, suojarakennuksen eristysventtiilien tiiveyskokeet sekä paineistimen varoventtiilien huollot.

Olkiluoto 2:n (OL2) polttoaineenvaihtoseisokki alkaa 28. huhtikuuta ja kestää noin 11 vuorokautta. Viimeisenä laitosyksiköistä vuorossa on Olkiluoto 1 (OL1), jonka huoltoseisokki alkaa 12. toukokuuta ja kestää noin 16 vuorokautta. Kaikkien vuosihuoltojen pitäisi olla valmiita 28. toukokuuta.

Beat me to it. But I'd like to add that white tea is usually brewed at 90C, which is about 194F.

There are two common styles of brewing tea, western and eastern. Western style uses less tea leaves for an amount of water and the brewing time is longer. Eastern style, commonly known as gongfu style (can also be written kungfu), is more leaves per amount of water and shorter brews. Gongfu style also lets you brew the same leaves several times, while western style spends the leaves in one brewing.

If you want to gongfu brew it, I recommend about 5g of leaves for 100g of water. White tea doesn't go bitter that easily, so you can just brew it until it's good for your taste buds. You can start from 10-30s for the first brew and then add 5 second for every successive brews. Adjust as you see fit.

To break the leaves from the cake, use some long thin metal object. Screwdriver if that's all you have. Avoid cutting it, unless that's the only way to break it.

Amazon updated the browser in Kindle e-readers with software version 5.16.4 last November. Check the Kindle E-Reader Software Updates page to see if your device has that version available.

Previously, the browser was almost useless, because it didn't support many of the features websites use nowadays. The new update significantly improves the browser, and it actually manages to display most pages correctly. Unfortunately, Kindles' hardware is quite lacking. Paperwhite 11th gen is so slow that while webpages work correctly, many of them are unusable because of the poor performance.

Has anyone tried the new version of the web browser yet? Have you found any websites that you like using on your Kindle? I tried Lemmy, but of course that's one of the websites that doesn't work. There are no errors, it just doesn't show any posts.

For some reason, when a GBA game crashes, the GBA will output the content of the game cartridge as audio over the headphone jack. This person noticed it and created a script that can re-create the ROM file (content of the cartridge) from the audio that the GBA outputs.

There's a Kindle Rewards bonus offer going on currently.

Spend $20 on Kindle books between July 28 and Aug 1 and earn 400 bonus points. Activation required.

Those $20 you need to spend to get the bonus points gives you another 60 points, so this event nets you at least 460 points. That's enough to redeem $3 credits and you are left with 160 points out of 300 needed for another $3 credits. Just remember that points expires in 3 months and you only get 3 points for every dollar you spend on Kindle books.

The amount of "fuck spez" pleases me, but I find the lack of "join lemmy" disturbing.

Kindle Rewards beta

For those who don't know yet, Kindle Rewards is a rewards program on amazon.com that rewards you for buying books. It's for both US and international customers, but you can only get into the beta if Amazon chooses you. It was launched last year.

Initially you got 5 points for every dollar you spent on Kindle e-books and 2 points for every dollar spent on print books. The points expired in 6 months. You need 300 points to redeem $3 worth of credits you can use when purchasing Kindle e-books. Credits expires in 1 month.

Changes to Kindle Rewards on June 1, 2023

After June 1, you now get only 3 points for every dollar spent on Kindle e-books and 1 point for every dollar spent on print books. On top of that those points now expires in 3 months (points earned before June 1 still expires in 6 months). So, you still need 300 points for the credits, but you need to spend more to get enough points. And you only have 3 months to earn those points before they start expiring.


What do you think about the program? Have you participated in it, or ignored it? What about these new changes?

I have only participated on those spend-X-dollars-get-Y-points events (for example, spend $10 get 300 points). I maintain a wish list of books that I'm interested of. When one of those events comes along, I look through the list and buy the minimum amount required by the event. Preferably books that are on sale. That gives me plenty of books for little money, and free credits for next purchase.

After these changes, I think the points you get from buying books outside of events are meaningless. You earn so little, and have so little time to earn enough, that those points will just end up expiring. I think the rewards program gives little to no benefit for customers, except during those spend-X-dollars-get-Y-points events. Even then, only if the event gives you those 300 points required for the credits.
