Yeah that's funded by the brand, Logitech and other big brands would give me MDF and scanback on every product sold during a promotion (that was pushed by said brand). We would not make as much margins per unit sold but we would move bulk product.

MDF would go to the internal marketing team for producing assets / promoting on our socials. Marketing would also give statistics on volume of products in promotion sold, click through rate / views / audience. All highly sought after statistics.

Grey market importers would have products at a cheaper buy price but would not qualify for scanback.

One person from my team had committed a PO for the wrong quantity of a product (100 units instead of 10)

But due to our good relationship that brand helped us run a promotion on that product which ended up being exclusive to our stores and moved lots of flight sticks. We wouldn't have that kind of support if we were purchasing from a grey market importer.

The other side of retail is a fun experience, but for hardly above minimum Australian wage it wasn't worth the stress.

Edit: Speaking of LOGI, they were a great bunch to be on the good side of. New release products had stellar margins for our stores, as long as we kept on the MSRP, not following MSRP would lead for us not not receive initial batches of stocks on future launches.

I understand this post is a couple of weeks old now, but I'm not able to access the site using Firefox on mobile using ublock / privacy badger. Frustrating spin as the site loads the content then slammed me with a non-compatible browser overlay.

Adding to insult, a simple misclick via chrome ate all my entries and I've not got the capacity to finish what I'd almost completed nor attempt to complete the questionnaire again.

Tuta (in my eyes) is a step in the right direction, using a client like thunderbird or enigmail and managing PGP yourself would be more secure as the message is decrypted by the recipient and not a company owned server.

In addition protonmail do not protect your metadata (from memory), it's not encrypted in transit.

Protonmail also keep your public and private keys on their servers, it's PGP however they don't want the end users to have to manage their own keys. That to me isn't ideal.

Receiving from another provider you'll get TLS encryption until it hits protonmail servers but protonmail will then decrypt your email and again encrypt your email using your PGP stored on their servers.

Sending an email from proton to another provider will be encrypted on protonmail servers but that's where it ends. TLS will take care of the in-transit and again may not be stored securely on the receiving end.

Yeah I use nix 😅

I think the idea of a (relatively) simple or as complex "roll your own flavour" OS makes lots of sense to someone like me. For most people the effort might not be worth the payout.

Transmission running on the same machine? VM / Container?

I was using deluge for the longest time but went back to transmission in an lxc under proxmox.

Some more info about your config would help troubleshoot.

Interesting, the article isn't working well under translate and I can't see the frame time graphs on my phone. Does it state which kernel their running these games under or if these are x11 / Wayland?

If their just using the stock kernel there are probably some gains (even just minimal) using another with some tweaks.

Nix is like 20 years old, wasn't popular and still isn't 😅

Me not emailing my negative UDS and EKG results to my psych until the day of my diagnosis.

Instead for that week I was procrastinating, trying to unspaghetti my NixOS installation, installing a PS2 emulator to play a title that dankpods reminded me of.

I'd been beating myself up over this shit for years, people in my life too just thinking I'm lazy and disorganised. Only took me until 36 to get a diagnosis 🤘 Happy I did.
