Reminds me of when I was getting pissed off that, on my work computer, Windows would randomly close Teams Windows and browser tabs, exactly every 59 seconds.
Till I found out that the windows version of caffeine hits the F15 key every 59 seconds by default. I had previously set up PowerToys to map an “extra” key on my keyboard to do Ctrl+W. That “extra” key actually turned out to be F15.
Considering most Americans couldn’t even afford to buy a one-way ticket to France with cash-on-hand, the costs and logistics of actually moving to another country are a moot point. Not to mention the additional costs of securing residency and eventually citizenship.
Most Americans can’t even bear the thought of moving a couple states away for fear of losing all of their social safety nets in existing friends/family.
I guess it’s different if you’re a childless, perpetually single loner tho.
Maybe you’re wired different. I skimmed the whole thing twice, specifically looking for the directions section, knowing how it should look. I missed it the first time…I thought the joke was that there weren’t any directions, or they were hidden on a page 2.
Maybe my ADHD mind?
I definitely get what OP is saying tho. Having an unknown and changing number of warnings, before the directions, in the same typeface as the directions, could make it more dangerous.
Ideally there would be a color-coded label system for different types/severities of warnings, and the direction clearly printed above/near the top. Having all the warnings first didn’t make me read them, just the bolded parts, looking for the directions. Directions are the most looked-for thing, they should be in an obvious place.
This is like the drug companies following supermarket logic, putting the milk in the back corner of the store hoping you impulse a bunch of stuff on the way. But instead tricking the customer into learning something, the customer says “all this science shit is boring and scary sounding” and they go get the raw milk from the farm stand because that doesn’t “need” warnings.
That’s only 850m shy of the summit tho. How many people make it to 8km and can’t make the last ~10%?
My HS History teacher was exactly like that and I had a dream with him in it the other night. Really weird timing since I hadn’t been in highschool for over 20 years. Also he died a couple years ago.
Man could you just imagine what could happen if someone walking by just happened to flick a lit cigarette or 20 into that pile?
PIA has OpenVPN or IPsec profiles (I forget which) that can be imported into NetworkManager. You just have to put in your account info.
I don’t think every location has one…but a lot do.
Wait till you realize that the point of homework is delayed-gratification, prioritization, and self-reliance.
AIO PCs were and remain a terrible idea…the keyboard PC is a cool novelty reminiscent of the Commodore 64/128 era but kinda stupid nowadays. Would be cool in a C64 shell as a dedicated emulation device tho.
No bryndos…I’m saying when he’s ready, he won’t have to.
Light in fiberoptic travels at about 0.66c, or about 124,000 mi/sec. Data on copper actually has an advantage here, travelling at 0.99c, but it’s not sustainable for long distance.
100ms being 1/10th of a second would be 12,400 miles.
The earth is about 24,000 miles at the equator.
At most, 100ms one-diredtional would be literally halfway around the world.
Of course, I have 60ms packet latency to my office 45 miles away as the crow flies. So maybe packet latency isn’t the best way to tell.
Because android lacks cohesion there.
Apple tried to make a platform that functions as a hybrid phone/laptop.
Android tried to make a big phone and Google saved the laptop-experience for ChromeOS.
Add to this…I don’t think there’s a single good keyboard case for android tablets. Maybe a semi-decent one for some flagship models…but nothing that compares to the official apple keyboard.
But now ChromeOS is dying so…what do?
When applications get cross platform it sucks.
For example…in Windows id often use Ctrl+L to access the address bar in a web browser.
The Mac equivalent to this, I think, is Super-L. Super is the “windows key” on my keyboard.
So then…go back to windows after building up mac muscle memory…and I’m locking my screen every time I want to go to a new website.
The outlook keybindings are even more confusing…but outlook for Windows is shit tier (I’ve switched to PWA now). Somehow the macos version behaves better. I really don’t get it.
Proof of concept fails in a spectacular fireball?
Fuck it, owners are too invested, ship it anyway.
Feels like I work for the same company.
Why repair the plane on the ground…if it’s a real problem, we can fix it mid-flight.
Media needs to rename this event. I keep thinking Pam Bondi was attacked and then I’m instantly disappointed.

Cool.
Knowing America…if I had to guess…probably not old enough to rent a car.
I had an icebreaker event at like a new employee orientation thing where we did two truths and a lie.
One person said “I have cancer”. That turned out to be her lie.
Who the fuck lies about that? Like everyone knows someone who has or had (and possibly lost to) cancer. That’s in incredibly bad taste. There’s morbid humor and then there’s…something else.
She didn’t last long there.
I’ve been using Linux for like 18 years and I still hop. I got a better idea of what I like to use for different situations though…but there are so many great builds/derivatives now. I’m pretty well settled into Bazzite and Nobara, or regular Fedora and Fedora Blue, depending on specific needs now though.
Its pretty friggin hard to start a diet during the holidays. If you say the day before thanksgiving that you’re going to start a diet, you’re probably setting yourself up for failure more than if you let yourself enjoy the holidays and then get on the wagon once the leftovers are gone and the hangover has settled.
