My address is the same. Someone with my name thinks their email address is firstlast@gmail.com

Its annoying especially since we have the same bank and they are not very good at paying their credit card on time. I therefore get their bank emails. Initially It will always have me confused as weight wait. I don't have any balance on my credit card. Was this fraud?


I have used Windows hibernate since Windows XP and never had an issue with devices after resuming Windows. Within recent years on Windows 10 I have gone months without a restart, only hibernating my pc. In the early days I used a custom built pc. In the later years(post 2005) I have only used laptops, mostly Dells with a sprinkling of Lenovos; if that matters.

I don't know why Windows now hides it from the power menu by default now.


I think it's mostly us with lots of external gear (mostly audio related) that things get a bit wonky, and if you're running graphic-heavy applications that you're trying to resume at the same time. For example, Ableton for the longest of times couldn't handle resuming from hibernation for me, seems to work today (Windows 11), but still having the same issue with a running Houdini window, resuming from hibernation does something with the communication with the GPU (my hunch) and the window freezes when resuming.


If it's any consolation, I think those things are extremely ugly also.


I love the sound of those things crunching trash at ungodly hours. I find it weirdly comforting. What I can't deal with is loud exhausts from cars


I have an acquaintance who has lived most of his life without kidneys(40 years). Looking in from the outside, his life seems normal; go to the gym and have a beer or two like anyone would, except for the dialysis trips.

I then have a relative into their late 60's that was very laxed about diabetics within recent years.This has lead to kidney issues. They are refusing dialysis because of I guess the stigma attached to it. Now they are experiencing a cognitive decline due to poorly functioning kidneys.

I guess when you want to live you would do whatever it takes.


This is it for the non-Pro models only since they come with 3 USB-A ports


What unfree county is that? He certainly doesn't live in Russia if that is what you are alluding to.


He lives in the UAE.


I think for the past couple of years he lives in France. By force, so it's not very straight to recognize it as a free or not.


He mentions on his recent Lex Fridman podcast episode[1] that he lives in Dubai, U.A.E. He expressed fear about France's actions against him.

He does have a French passport (in addition to his other passports) but does not live there. This may be the source of the confusion.


I mean the arrest. But as I just learned [1] he is being allowed to make periodic travels to Dubai since recently. So things got better for him now, but that's just since July 2025. Before that he was physically staying in France since August 2024, which I would call as "living" as it's the place where he spent most of his time.

A free country... if you're wealthy enough!


Is there a free one?



Most countries in the EU seem quite free.


Interesting. I have yet to come across a computer that I couldn't hibernate in Window.



Honestly that's just as stupid. It would have similar problems in Winter, very little benefit, and has the same "How do you do it" problem


It however has no problem in the winter.


I was also thinking JFK is pretty bad.
