I've been on a low dose for a year. I've lost 25kg (60 lbs) without much effort. Yes, it definitely dulls my appetite, and if I want to have a nice meal, I need to plan ahead for several weeks so that I have it _just_ before my next injection. There's also the fact that I didn't realise how important snacking was to my mental health. Since I don't have that, I've had to find other ways to boost my mood.

As a brief summary, it absolutely delivers what it says it does. I've lost weight as it claimed due to appetite suppression and feeling fuller longer. However, it's more complex than that, and the battle to ensure I get enough protein has been tough.


> Since I don't have that, I've had to find other ways to boost my mood

I have a similar issue, what did you come up with?


> I didn't realise how important snacking was to my mental health

Could you expand on this?


Not OP but eating is often used to distract or alleviate uncomfortable feelings like boredom, anxiety, etc.

> There's a billion-dollar prize if you figure this out, and the food industry is already openly discussing it.

Do you have any evidence of this? Your link doesn't confirm it.


Per my link above, it's just evidence they're reacting to it, but I suspect there are more nefarious things going on they're not posting in public trade journals.

The "prize" I'm referring to isn't a literal X-Prize for addiction haha, but I mean market share, etc. is very worth investing in this.


This only occurs when you have Xcode set to automatically handle provisioning for you. If you don't, it doesn't happen.

That setting is meant to... well, communicate with Apple and get the latest provisioning profiles so that you don't have to manage them manually.

Xcode is terrible in a million different ways and Apple should be ashamed of it. But this is a non-issue.


> This one phase took 50.6 seconds when the entire build was 56.8 seconds!

This is clearly a yes-issue


I'm amazed that there's so many comments and yet not a single one is pointing out that the coffee bean is missing from the _right_ side of the image. Not the left.


You are correct. You also need to have an Intermediate license as the first level (Foundation) doesn't allow you to build your own transceiver.


This comment has a bunch of spoilers in it. I've watched it so this hasn't changed anything for me, but I'm sure many here intent to watch it but haven't had the time yet. Reacting these spoilers may be a good idea.


The internet is dark and full of spoilers.


Part of the problem here is that Plex is included in so many different VMs, NAS images, SaaS offerings, etc. That it can be incredibly difficult and/or obscure to update it. I know I personally ran into issues with FreeNAS where once it was running I had no incentive to update. That shouldn't be how these offerings work. They should be encouraging updates.


> I had no incentive to update.

Does it not yell at you every time you open it?


Lots of Plex servers probably just running on NAS without anyone actively using them.


Based on what exactly? According to Wikipedia, the Iraq War produced a total death count of 25,071 and a total wounded count of 117,961. Also according to Wikipedia COVID-19 has produced a death count of 6,868,964 and an infection count of 674,809,997.

I'm all for complaining about US tactics, but it's 100% incorrect to try and claim that the Iraq War was "worse" than COVID-19.


When it comes to the Iraq War, according to the Wikipedia, and let me quote it

> "An estimated 151,000 to 1,033,000 Iraqis died in the first three to five years of conflict."

Then that famous video of "Madeleine Albright Saying Iraqi Kids' Deaths 'Worth It'" talked about half million children.

Iraq only produced a death count of 25k? Do Iraqis not count?

Also almost all of the violence post war should be somewhat attributable to the invasion; we broke the basket to secure oil rights (and some argue to also keep the petrodollar as the world reserve currency)

The cost was way more than the cherry-picked stats you present


You seem to assume no Iraqis were killed, which is pretty odd.

In "costly and fatal", I also include that the Iraq War arguably marks the end of the US as the world's only superpower. Both in terms of cost and moral status, it was a huge abdication of status.


On the one hand, Apple are significantly better at design than car manufacturers so this should be good. On the other hand, moving from something at least close to an RTOS to this does concern me. When your speedometer freezes, who is going to take the blame?


If your speedometer freezes on Carplay, I assume you can just unplug iPhone and get stock car speedometer. I would be concerned if iPhone controlled breaks, gas pedal or wheel but informational displays are fine.

In addition, I have VW Tiguan with glass cockpit (or whatever you call it when it does not have mechanical speedometer) for about 3 years and it froze on me a couple of times. The only way to fix was to turn off/turn on the car.


Yep I'm curious what mode it goes into when the iPhone disconnects. Presumably there is some built in local processing in the car's "display" which continues to render the important bits of the UI without connected features and widgets?


Full steering lock + time for inapp purchase ;-)


I don’t know what they could be doing differently when CarPlay is activated, but I’ve never had it crash on me, and I’ve been using it almost daily for 3+ years.

The iPhone on its own has locked up a handful of times, as has the built-in VW entertainment system.


What if your mechanical speedometer breaks? It happens, you shouldn’t crash because of that.


Firstly, there's a very good chance driving without a speedometer is illegal in your area.

Secondly, anything that affects functional safety should itself be vetted fron a FuSa perspective. I guarantee you that most manufacturers treat the instrument cluster as a Functional Safety item. If CarPlay can't bring the system to a state where that analysis is affected (which seems unlikely here), there's no issue.

That said, I'd probably use it.


So is driving with a broken headlight. Yet we don’t demand headlights to be infallible.


You shouldn't crash, but it's not unheard of for the speedometer to fail.

Certain early-2000s GM speedometers were prone to breaking. Either the servo motors straight-up stopped working, or the label started peeling up and jammed the needle. My brother had several trucks from that era with this problem.
