These are the top features that make AirPods worth owning [Video]

AirPods have been around since 2015, and every year Apple makes them even more useful. Here are what makes AirPods worth owning!

"Vant lesekonkurranse for fjerde gang"
"Won the reading contest for the 4th time."

I suspect they're running a doping program. Some sort of chewable reading steroid that turns 7-year-olds into reading crazed monsters.

Lærer Katrine Solnørdal Rønning var en av vinnerne i Norli juniors lesekonkurranse for fjerde året på rad. Hemmeligheten? Høytlesing, ikke skjerm.

When the US gets super wound up about mail, let me give you some perspective:

In downtown Oslo, we get letters delivered only every other day.

"Avg 3 letters per week. It is therefore not sustainable or financially justifiable to maintain five days of postal delivery..."

The cheapest postage is $2

By default packages are delivered to the nearest grocery store and must be picked up.

You can opt-out of junk mail by putting a note on the box.

Delivery of mail and parcels

Posten delivers letters every other day; Monday, Wednesday, Friday one week and Tuesday, Thursday the second week.

Oslo Kommune schools have an iPad problem.

Not a single element of the iPad deployment measurably improves learning, but it certainly creates a whole host of problems.

As it stands, I cannot recommend Oslo schools if you're looking for an excellent education, merely a passable one.

Marie Lunde: – Etter to år med læringsbrettet, må jeg si at det er grunn til bekymring - Kommentarer

Sønnen vår fikk læringsbrett utdelt allerede første måneden som skolegutt. Det skulle vi ikke bekymre oss for, betrygget skolen oss om på foreldresamling i aulaen, skriver småbarnsmor Marie Lunde. Men nå er det nettopp det hun er: Bekymret.

"According to data from the 2021 census, one out of three Russians—33 percent—depend on social payments as a source of income. In addition, a quarter of all Russians are materially dependent on someone else."

You don't bite the hand that feeds.

king shit, they can't even press further or else it's unprofessional.

While reading the classics I came across an issue with older pages. The all caps bits seem to collide with regular text. Yikes.

Now, the current version is essentially built on the iPhoneOS 2 and 3 SDKs, more than a decade ago, and getting it to compile, let alone updating it to present iOS and App Store requirements will take forever and is not a good use of my time…

Guess that sets a deadline for version 2!

As a consequence, the feature set will be cut tight, as if it weren’t already, which still leaves me under heavy pressure.

The Deep Green 2 release is hereby aptly named “Reborn”.

decades-long manhunt finally ends
With so many places having done layoffs lately, I wanted to mention the US Digital Service is hiring. It's a wild place to work, but also you get to work on legitimately meaningful projects that affect a lot of people (in 2022, we made it easier for transgender ppl to get passports, helped low-income families buy food, and I got to help identify disadvantage communities for environmental funding). I'm happy to talk about USDS if you're on the fence. http://ow.ly/LpqJ50LVnPV #fedihire #fedijobs
