That $150 isn't going straight to the mechanic, they get a fraction of that. Rest goes to the support staff, keeping the lights on, and general profits.

Mechanics, especially at dealership, get what's called flat rate set by the how long manufactures expects a job to take.

For an oil changes, if the mfq estimates 30min, the mechanic gets paid for 30min regardless if the job takes 10 minutes or 2 hours. Guess what they're incentivized to do? Rush jobs and finding excuses to do shit that doesn't need to be done.

Need someone else's help with something? That person doesn't get paid for helping you out, so guess who doesn't want to help/train the new guys.

How about tools? Most mechanics are expected to supply their own tool, minus the big shop wide stuff, so most spend tens of thousands of dollars over the years.

I remember a job add on the radio "guaranteed 60 hours and work on saturdays".

Realistically I'd love "mandatory tips" to go away all together. People who are hired to a job, do their job and get paid by their employer. Anything on top is extra. Both the mechanic and baritsa should be paid proper wages from the start.

Hmm, that is true.

I always just pressed the shutdown button if I was putting it in a bag. If I was only moving from one place to another, then I wouldn't want it turn off for just closing it.

Yeah, that's a cursed setup, must be set to shutdown on lid close, but also it doesn't hang if there is an unsaved document like every other time?

And no habitual Ctrl+s after every sentence or two? If the kid didn't wipe her work, a random windows crash or forced update would have.

The second to last kid might be a girl, but that's just going by the long hair and pink shirt...they're too far back and we can't see the face to make any real determination.

Wait until you here about the hidden mesh networks they create with other iot shit

Expectations vs reality

"Grandma why did you wreck your computer??!!"

Oh hey be reasonable now, those jackasses wouldn't go anywhere near a ball crushing factory in fear of the association with balls turning them gay.

ArticleAnother Leak: ‘Avatar: Aang: The Last Airbender’ Surfaces Online Months Before Paramount+ Debut By Jamie Lang | 04/13/2026 1:17 pm |

A major leak of footage from Avatar: Aang, The Last Airbender is making the rounds online, and it’s hard to see this as anything but damaging for everyone involved.

Over the weekend, clips and now reportedly the full film surfaced online months ahead of its planned Paramount+ debut. The movie, directed by Lauren Montgomery, was initially meant to get a theatrical run, but late last year it was pulled and redirected straight to Paramount+.

The material shared over the weekend reportedly includes key story moments and unfinished animation, although some say the full film is now online, with reports suggesting the leak may have originated from an internal error or security breach tied to Nickelodeon. One Twitter user claimed they were accidentally sent the full film in an email from Nickelodeon. That seems exceedingly unlikely, but it raises questions about how the film could have gotten out.

The leak is a major blow to an already unsettled studio. Since being purchased by Skydance, Paramount and its subsidiary Nickelodeon have been subject to massive layoffs; their long-time and well-respected head of animation, Ramsey Naito, left the company; and just last week, it was revealed that Nickelodeon Animation Studios would be folded more tightly into CBS Studios.

It’s concerning yet entirely unsurprising how normalized this kind of thing has become. Another Avatar film, James Cameron’s in this case, leaked in 2023, alongside The Super Mario Bros. Movie. The difference in those cases is that the films being leaked were already released in theaters. This time, a film months away from release has now been spoiled by a few bad actors.

High-profile leaks aren’t just spoilers, either. They disrupt the economic and creative ecosystem that keeps these kinds of projects getting made. When unfinished work circulates widely, it diminishes both the artistry and the labor behind it, and can cause serious issues for future titles.

The upcoming avatar movie leaked, it sounds like the script, screenshots and ~~possibly~~ the entire movie is circulating.

Also for some reason (before the leak) Paramount decided the movie wouldn't get a theatrical release. Who ever is making the decisions out there is not setting it up for success.

Anyway, if you can watch the movie from an official source, please do so their numbers reflect as many people as possible.

The solution is Settings -> Account preferences -> Show read posts?

Thanks fujiwood@lemmy.world


I've posted a few time, but the post list always remains empty for some reason.

I can see other people posts on their profiles.

Basically looking a calandar that stays on the deaktop, and can show events (Otherwise I'd just use a wallpaper). I don't need much interaction with it, if any, essentially just open the actaul calandar program. Sync with iCal is a big plus.

While FOSS is ideal, I'm open to anything free (that can be firewalled or is actually private (unlikely, I know))

I found one that used windows 7 widgets, but it was too small and didn't seem to work right anyways.

Android Tablets (lemmy.world)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world to c/android@lemmy.world

Does anyone have good experience with android tablets, and possibly replacing the OS? I see some interesting options from Google, lenovo, one plus, etc... I imagine the pixel one will be the easiest to load a new OS to, but I also wonder about the tablet support of things like lineage or graphine.

The hardware doesn't have to be groundbreaking, just good enough to be my "travel laptop" for movies, comics and general interneting. I don't want a laptop, as I often like to sit in chair/bed to read comics or watch movies and a keyboard would make that awkward.

One of my main concerns is the update support - my iPad has been getting updates since 2017, a lot of the android manufactures are promising a pathetic 3 to 5 years. I don't want to be "software bricked" in 5 years (I.e apps eventually requiring an Android version I cannot update to)
