It can be قمبو (gulf) or جمبو (Egypt) as well.
(For non Arabic speakers, hard G does not natively exist in Arabic and different dialects use a different letter to denote a hard G, a lot of the time contextually)
Actually he’s asking for a jumbo (large) mouse, funny cause in Arabic you literally read that as ‘jombo’
No plans only rant
Thank you for reading and enjoying! Yeah the great thing is that most of the ridiculous things in that menu have similar explanations, some are complete nonsense though
Glad to be! Got that “why bother no one’s gonna read this anyway” feeling halfway through the comment but then remembered I wasn’t on reddit anymore
No, I speak Arabic and it’s not so much misspelling as like, lack of sufficient punctuation. Then that is directly thrown into a translator. I’ll use the word مشكل as an example and try to explain why the menu says ‘Tuna is a problem’. As letters, from right to left, they are l:
m - م (the first letter on the right)
sh - ش
k - ك
L - ل (last letter on the left)
I know those standalone letters look different but that’s how they are when they’re not conjoined to other letters.
Anyway the problem is that that word can be read multiple ways because a lot of the vowels in Arabic come from small modifiers that no one can be bothered to type out because we know how to infer the pronunciations in context. So let’s get into the conflation of the word here. Without any vowels, theoretically the word can be read as mshkl. One way to read the word مشكل can be MuSHaKKal, and with the modifiers it would look like so:
مُشَكْل
It’s not easy to see but the first 3 letters have modifiers that make them be pronounced as ‘Mu’, ‘Sha’, ‘K~’, ‘Al’. Pronouncing the word this way means ‘mixed’ i.e. the dish being served is Mixed Tuna AKA Tuna salad.
Now without the modifiers the word can be read as: مشكِل
Now theres no modifier on the second letter so it kind of just blends into the first, becoming pronounced as ‘Mush’, ‘Kill’, or ‘mash’, ‘kal’. This word literally translates to ‘problem’. And if you just put a noun before problem, it makes sense grammatically to infer that the noun is the problem. Ergo,
“Tuna is a problem”. Also known as Tuna salad.
I think this is fucking awesome. Complete win for all of us hoping for better and more affordable EVs.

My manager once asked me if I could code in API
I feel like the fact that this is downvoted is showing the disconnection that Lemmy has as a hub for tech inclined users, I know many people waiting to buy the portal and while I know it’s kind of a useless device, it works for a lot of people and $200 is at about that sweet spot.
Don’t you guys use WhatsApp though as the base messaging app?

You realize this is a good product if you live with your parents? You don’t need to hog the TV. Living alone and buying this bullshit, now that’s a stupid decision.
Ironically, it’d make more sense if you lived with mom and dad, you play ps5 while they watch whatever they watch all in the same room
No other country offered unlimited texting back in the day.
ICE is done in just a few years, by the time my current hybrid dies ICE won’t be sold
You’re delusional if you actually believe this.
And I absolutely guarantee you by the time ICE is not sold anymore, there will be affordable EVs on the market.
Isn’t the whole point of an EV that they don’t have ICEs?
Honestly this is the first time on Lemmy I’ve felt like I was on reddit with such stupid argument logic.
Then don’t complain that the steak is too expensive and eat your damn sausage.
