Now we know how much it costs to make a $2,800 Dior bag
  • Makes me wonder if those $80 Monster HDMI cables were lucrative. Might be that the rule applies not just to luxury goods, but for any good where the consumer is too ignorant of the market to have any frame of reference to compare to (e.g. the technologically illiterate).

  • What will happen to all the USA TikTok creators once the ban on TikTok takes effect?
  • But again, you can make that argument about any platform or medium where speech can be posted or displayed. If the department of public health condemns a local movie theater where I host indie movie screenings, that is not a violation of my first amendment rights because they are not prohibiting my ability to make or share content, they are simply removing the space it is currently shared. If that comes out to the same effect for some people who are all-in on TikTok to the exclusion of any other short-form video sharing service, sure, maybe there are grievances. But that still ends up being a self-imposition made by the individual at the end of the day.

    Not to mention, the US government is not trying to close down TikTok. They are prohibiting the owners of TikTok from doing business in the US. The company itself would be the one to make the decision to close the service rather than sell it off, so unless the fed is going to force a private business to keep itself open to placate the masses, it's a decision made by a private company outside of any constitutional law.

  • What will happen to all the USA TikTok creators once the ban on TikTok takes effect?
  • The right for a business to operate is not protected by the first amendment, though.

    I could use that argument to stop the government from closing/dismantling any physical space because I might use their walls to express my first amendment rights. But the argument just doesn't hold up.

  • PSA: Syrcus Tower Boss Broken. Avoid The Duty
  • Can confirm, I was able to run it yesterday without issue. If you load into Syrcus Tower and people start to panic, just reassure them that it is no longer bugged.

    That being said, every once in a blue moon I run into encounters where folks with the frog buff keep it long enough to melt the safety ice that spawns second, so make sure the frogs don't get too overzealous freeing people.

  • PSA: Syrcus Tower Boss Broken. Avoid The Duty
  • Apparently Paladin's cover is enough to spare the life of a healer as well. So if you have a Paladin tank, one healer in that alliance can sac themselves while the other gets shielded through it and can quickly start bringing others back up.

  • Dawntrail 7.0 Patch Notes
  • Just wanted to remind folks looking at the job changes that potency numbers you see may not always mean the same thing from job to job.

    Potency is meant to give you a sense of how powerful certain abilities in a kit are compared to another, but potencies across jobs are not always equal. A Paladin potency may not be the same as a Samurai potency may not be the same as a Sage potency, etc.

  • June Pixel feature drop + predictive back
  • This was an issue on Samsung devices last year, but the OneUI 6.1 update ended up fixing it for me.

  • FOSS programmers, what do you think of horrible people using your software?
  • That and it's impossible say whether or not a given tool or object will never be used to do harm if wielded by the wrong entity.

    Like, say you're someone who makes free bricks. Someone uses the brick to build a house, great, that's what it's made for. Someone uses that brick to shatter a cop's windshield, even better.

    But someone can also use that brick to smash in the windows of a school, or even that the house built with the bricks you made is being lived in by a bad person.

    No one makes bricks thinking "this could be a weapon, I am responsible for the harm it causes" because its primary purpose as building material is self-evident. It therefore has no inherent morality outside of what people you can't control choose to do with what they have. All the brick maker wants to do is make the best bricks they can.

    Fixed(?): Black screen when swiping post closed bug resolved after Samsung's One UI 6.1 update

    When Samsung last updated One UI several months ago, myself and many other Samsung users (and Pixel users on Android 14 as well, judging by the replies) encountered a bug where swiping posts closed showed only a black background until fully closed, after which the content one would expect to see would appear.

    Last night, One UI updated to 6.1 on my device, and when I used Sync this morning, I noticed that the black background bug is no longer happening.

    >!Unfortunately I now need to re-learn my navigation gestures because Samsung apparently thinks it's fine to force people to completely re-learn how they navigate their phone overnight...!<

    Username written with right-to-left characters splits points label and value.

    Seen on a comment today, this user with an Arabic username, written right to left, is rendered in between the points value and label text in Sync, rather than to the left of the value as expected.

    How to Participate in the Xbox Series X|S Open Beta Test

    As one of the (probably few) FFXIV players who actually has access to an Xbox Series X, it is a bit disappointing that there is no way to participate in the beta.

    Hope the people who have an Xbox and are interested in FFXIV but didn't pick it up yet for any other platform enjoy the beta. All 10 of them.

    [Bug] Black screen in place of feed when swiping posts closed.

    Noticed a minor bug this morning when swiping a post closed where there is only a black screen in the background in place of the feed.

    The feed loads immediately as expected when the post is fully closed, making this only a minor issue.

    Notably, my phone updated to Android 14 just last night, so I was not sure if there was something weird with the OS update impacting the app, but it persists through a force close and clearing cache.
