Some companies will make special versions for Black Friday that do indeed have cheaper parts or missing features, but for many it’s the exact same product as the normal SKU. They do the special SKU at the request of the retailer, to guarantee that no one can use a “price match guarantee” to make them sell more than the planned quantity of door busters.
The ability to automatically detect commercials (via sound level / machine learning) and skip them would be amazing as well. There’s an app for iOS that does this, but nothing for Android.
Shorthand for cisgender. It’s an ancient word that’s come back into common use in the last decade.
Trans is a Latin root for “on the opposite side of”, so transgender means “opposite of [birth] gender”.
Cis is the antonym root that means “on the same side as”, so cisgender means “the same as [birth] gender”.
I remember this captcha. I gave up after about the fourth round. The prize just wasn’t worth it, and I wasn’t on a machine where I could try scripting out a solution.
This amuses me, since I literally went from Gentoo to Arch because it felt like the same bleeding edge distro without having to wait for the compile time for half of the packages.
That said, I generally don’t recommend Arch (or Gentoo) to newbies. It’s great when it works, but the number of times I’ve had to troubleshoot some random dependency issue because I took more than a week to update my system would scare any newbie away. It’s a bit like the parable of the cobbler’s kids having the worst shoes, or the mechanic always driving a project car - when you have the skills to fix something, you’re willing to put up with a lot of bullshit that a normal person wouldn’t.
