  2.  @amuro9624  People who do things legally get documents.

  3. The real money to be made in New York is draining the pockets of people actually doing worthwhile work.
    620
  4. Yep. Muad'Dib - Little mouse.
    500
  5. Five seconds explaining what WP Engine was about would have provided some much-needed context.
    448
  6. Adult collectors were once kid collectors. Very short-sighted. Also 3D printers get better every year.
    344
  7. Stereo difference (along with some frequency filtering) is sometimes used to generate Karaoke tracks as the singer is typically placed in the center of the stereo stage while instruments are distributed. There are some Karaoke machine chips with this functionality built-in.
    266
  8. Yeah, NPCs getting the latest update has long been a thing.
    235
  9. Glad he's OK. People should definitely consider growing their content also outside of YouTube as Jeremy does (I actually usually follow him on Bitchute). YouTube is too arbitrary to trust your whole online presence to.
    205
  10. But the unions still wouldn't endorse Trump despite their members voting for it.
    191
  11. A shitty thing is they didn't even pop up a message saying "Can not stream in 4K on this device". They just left you to happily keep going. Presumably there are people who won't notice and just keep paying for something they're not getting.
    187
  12. Saying "memory corrupt" when it's actually a totally deliberate outcome is a sure sign you know you're dealing with bullshitters. When first we practice to deceive...
    187
  13. The left always claim conservatives lack compassion but their actions show that what they do is not about compassion but power and the exercise of power.
    182
  14. Broken window theory applied to trash. Once one person throws down some trash, everyone else thinks they have permission to add to it. Having that be the default for legit trash probably doesn't help. They should probably come up with front-of-store dumpsters that would work for that environment (You say there is no space but there is space for trash so that is where the dumpsters would go).
    176
  15.  @mikebalentine  Just like with any "great offer if you sign up right now", if it's such a good deal, it will still be available tomorrow.
    158
  16. Peripheral wasn't completely terrible and I'd have liked to see more of the story but 170M? Completely understandable. I think these companies need to hear about the law of diminishing returns. The more you give these creative types, the more they will waste.
    156
  17. I don't think it's the developers as much as those who wheedle their way to the levers or power. Though there's likely a few developers too.
    146
  18. Abandoning your core competencies... Always goes so well.
    146
  19. The odds don't matter for a coincidence if you're working backwards. As Terry Pratchett said, "Magicians have calculated that million-to-one chances crop up nine times out of ten."
    143
  20. "Any meeting with more than three people is basically pointless."
    142
  21. Remember when a million pounds was a lot of money?
    140
  22. Cancelling Netflix all those years ago keeps getting proven as a good decision over and over.
    128
  23. "Screw your freedom" - former governor of California
    109
  24. It happened to 1984 too. Amazon put out an unlicensed version of the book and then removed it from peoples' devices.
    108
  25. You could tell just from the words he was using that he was regurgitating talking points.
    103
  26. Should be like a 30 minute task to fix administratively. I think Louis Rossmann had trouble with these clowns after they failed to correctly notify him of a fine he didn't even owe.
    103
  27. “But the plans were on display…” “On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.” “That’s the display department.” “With a flashlight.” “Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.” “So had the stairs.” “But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?” “Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.”
    95
  28. One option to employ is a post-heater mixer. This allows you to have much hotter water in the tank without making it dangerous for people using it. This means that in a shower, you use much less hot water per second and can get more time out of the same size of tank. I've actually been looking at one of these because there is not actually much space between "not hot enough for safety" and "too hot for safety". With this, you can move the heater to heat "too hot for safety" but have the water coming from the hot tap be fine.
    87
  29. Frying pan -> fire.
    84
  30. Walmart is currently advertising Walmart Plus with "free delivery". The "free delivery" is done by gig drivers who you are expected to tip. I hate this tipping thing. Pay people properly and charge accordingly.
    83
  31. Well, if you're talking about taking things away, sure. It's not like they're talking about giving everyone a car with on-street parking. With that said, moving on-street parking into parking garages seems good to me. Eliminating cars (or a large segment of them) is another question entirely. As for "subsidizing drivers", they should just be paying market rates.
    80
  32. I like that he mentions fans being picky about the tracks but doesn't condemn them for it but tries to raise his standards. He seems to recognize that this is people being passionate about the things they love.
    80
  33. Any company that feels the need to make their motto "Don't be evil" is sus in the first place.
    77
  34. Haha. Dude, they had Trump.
    73
  35. Some people won't like this suggestion but a few years ago I had a company Dell Latitude. It had the track-point and seemed fairly solid if uninspiring. Dell seems to treat their business customers right.
    71
  36. I think you need to tell these people up-front that you're not a tech company with IPO money burning a hole in your pocket.
    70
  37. It looks like technically they're not really removing them but relocating them. Looks like that's giving them unintended consequences too.
    66
  38. To be fair, the DNC didn't have to nominate an obviously senile candidate.
    66
  39. Personally, I wouldn't do a permanent modification for something that's misconfigured and can be fixed. Temporary labelling is fine. Someone suggested moving the target arrow that would also work. 3d printing an overlay for the numbers would also be an option. Your dial can now be put back in two different positions. It probably won't make any difference in the long run but I believe when you fix things, do it right. Shortcuts bite you more often than you'd think.
    63
  40. I can recommend refillable cartridges if you can get em. Worth researching before you buy a printer. Mine report to the printer like the official ones but will "reset" if removed from the printer when indicating empty.
    62
  41. You're going to get a lot of people telling you to read the book. And I'm one of them. You could probably get another video about the differences.
    61
  42. "How can you tell someone's a vegetarian?"
    60
  43. Many cities are also mostly hard sound-reflecting surfaces. Adding some soft stuff (trees, grass, uneven road surfaces) can help a lot.
    56
  44. I don't know. Seeing Pedro Pascal beaten to death with a golf club might have a certain appeal to some.
    55
  45. Apparently cake mixes have you add eggs not because they couldn't include dried eggs in the ingredients but because it makes the person making the mix feel like they did something.
    54
  46. The energy saved by this legislation over 100 years is probably dwarfed by the energy spent to draft, enact and implement it.
    53
  47. One thing to bear in mind is that these seem to be a bit of a fad at the moment. If they're as annoying to use as it seems, that means there's likely to be a glut on the used market in the next couple of years. Like treadmills and scuba gear.
    53
  48. Someone should tell him that wearing a hat indoors is poor etiquette. And makes him look like a douche to boot.
    53
  49. Jake Skywalker played by Jerk Hamill.
    51
  50. I really think there's some momentum building against this. Tipping culture is all kinds of broken and it's only getting worse.
    50
  51. Not sure why this is in a Christmas playlist. Always worth a listen though.
    49
  52. Yep. Tried selling a property in Florida recently and the first, really quick offer is a builder who starts talking about septic tank lines being over property lines and it'll be expensive to sort out and they made a low offer and the realtor backed them up. My wife confirmed this was bullshit. Needless to say, we didn't take the offer and fired the realtor (who we believe was in cahoots with the builder). Got another realtor and we're selling for pretty much what we were expecting. It's important to remember that realtors make their money from selling houses and are typically more interested in volume than making sure you get the tip-top price (and may have other incentives also).
    49
  53.  @mosesbuddhajesus3362  As stated. There was a "children at play" sign but no school zone.
    48
  54. Levels are: Skinny, slim, average, pudgy, chubby, stunning and brave.
    47
  55. The more money you have, the more is 'necessary' natch. When you're poor, you need food or tires for your car, when you're rich, you need new $2000/pc rims for your sportscar or a new paintjob for your yacht. /s
    47
  56. "spontaneously"
    47
  57. 7:33 You hit the nail on the head. Centralization on the internet has been a big problem and this only encourages it. With that said, I have no problem with Cloudflare implementing this and it is a security upgrade but it's not a solution I would prefer.
    46
  58. Many of these smaller stories have been told, often for their drama angle but they tend to be lower budget affairs as befits their audience reach. This seems way overblown but I guess Netflix can spend their money how they wish. I am concerned that they will attempt to smear a thick layer of racism over the British though, despite the US itself having PSAs about how discrimination against black soldiers was much lesser in the UK and there being several stories of the Brits not tolerating some of the behavior the US brought over wrt race. Maybe I'll be surprised but I don't think we're far enough beyond Nov 5th for that narrative to be dying off from projects making it to the screen right now.
    46
  59. These are the kind of people who will respond to that with "You know, you have a point".
    44
  60. I have a feeling reddit's going to be having an unprecedented exodus this year.
    44
  61. The "Jimmy Wales yacht" meme has been around for a loooong time.
    43
  62. I was surprised when I plugged my USB-C Chromebook into a 5V limited charger, it actually still charged. Obviously, it wasn't enough power to keep it going if it was being used but that's infinitely better than it just rejecting it outright.
    42
  63. You don't need to have an MOT. Just have it so the police have to enter the mileage into the MOT system before the vehicles are disposed of. It's all done electronically anyway. It could probably even be linked up to whatever system they use to track inventory.
    42
  64.  @VitaliyMilonov  It was definitely made with love.
    41
  65. Everyone should be republishing their content on the new alternative sites and encouraging people to use them. Also center your funding around subscriptions and donations (and possibly merch and sponsors though sponsors are risky too).
    40
  66. @Adiee5Priv Whose intention? If the EU's, they should specify in the legislation. If the software authors, they should mind their own business, they don't know what's best for me. (Ideally the EU should mind their own business too but statists gonna state).
    40
  67. Amazon is up to a ton of shady shit recently. Might be a good time to short.
    40
  68. "I'm the Boardman!"
    38
  69.  @wrydstepbr0_0  Incels or not, I bet every one of them could state the reasons they think so instead of just throwing around insults like some knee-jerk virtue signaller.
    38
  70. They look like pods in meta.
    37
  71.  @General_Meji  Ben's sister has huge tracts of land.
    37
  72. It's not a good answer but for the ones you have, I'd pop them open and see if there's a jumper or resolder that converts between the voltages. Often it's just where a tap is taken off the transformer. Surprised they're not dual voltage these days to be honest.
    36
  73.  @jonnyshanon2103  The Kinder Egg dude was scarier.
    36
  74. Apologies are just an admission of guilt to these people and just encourages them to go harder.
    35
  75. It's also possible to include some flexibility in the base contract. You just want to stop it getting out of hand. Feature freezes are another way of doing things.
    35
  76. "Because of the unique way the BBC is funded..."
    34
  77. This definitely has some roots in how J6 protesters have been treated.
    34
  78.  @SumDumGy  Bet it didn't. My dad's classical education was much broader than I ever received and he would have been about the right age when this book came out.
    33
  79. Better not twist your ankle.
    33
  80. "What if we took this great movie, hollowed it out and filled it with my much weaker story like a skin suit?"
    33
  81. Timelines, multiverses and dimensions (in fiction) never stand up to much scrutiny. You can get away with using them but if you start leaning too heavily on them, the shortcomings become ever more present.
    33
  82. Yes. I'm planning on talking with my wife about this later today. Prime has become basically worthless for deliveries and now this?
    33
  83. When I have a failure at work, when I explain myself, I say that it's not an excuse, it's a reason. Then we can look at the causes of the failure and address them going forward. It's a much more productive way to handle things. If the problem is external or a process issue, that can be changed. If the problem is in my approach (and, hey, we don't always get it right first time), I can say how I will adjust that going forward. If the problem really is me, they can always let me go. That last hasn't happened so far.
    32
  84. Not all of America is like that. Virtually none of it, in fact.
    32
  85. I wonder how a pressure cooker would be for forcing the moisture in.
    32
  86. LDS. Not just for Mormons anymore.
    32
  87. I think Signal is going to have more to worry about dealing with the fallout of removing SMS functionality from their software. But that's just my opinion.
    31
  88. Guy is at the same mental level as Kelly Osborne.
    31
  89. Mozilla has become IT Crowd's "A lot of sexy people not doing much work and having affairs" with Moss and Roy coding Firefox in the basement.
    31
  90. Middle-grounder here. It's amazing to have watched how this has devolved into a partisan issue. Even trying to suggest an evidence and data based approach, people will attack you.

  92. Linus going to end up ousted within 12 months.
    30
  93. Definitely seems like an over-reaction. I've been more shocked about what Louis has said about Paul Daniels' software to be honest. This was very mild to spit your pacifier out over. He didn't even throw out a diss. Heck, he's been sending you customers and you called him a Jackhole.
    30
  94. Don't you want to be unburdened by what has been?
    29
  95. Yeah, I was going to say. It's been a long time since I looked at web apps but when I did, it was with the idea that it would be a way to provide an offline application without having to go through all the Android dev/Play store stuff. Every time I go to develop something, everything has changed and needs to be reinstalled and Google keeps coming up with hoops to jump through so apps that people found useful have become delisted (and since they were free, there's not much motivation for me to get them back up). PWAs would have (I assume) fixed most of that.
    29
  96. They're from New York where they have rats the size of a small horse and cockroaches the size of a small rat.
    29
  97.  @rossmanngroup  It's not really a feature, just a function of how the car works. When you take your foot off the accelerator (in gear), the wheels drive the engine. The engine is still sucking in and compressing air so it pushes back against the wheels. In a manual car (and kind-of in some automatics), you can select a lower gear so the engine pushes back harder against the wheels. I can come to a near stop just doing that. Some people worry about wear but in truth, if done right, it's extremely slight. Being in the lower gear also has the advantage that you're ready to accelerate again.
    29
  98.  @cbrreezzyy69 There was a big lull in the 70s which eventually gave way to the bonanza of the 80s. Everything old is new again.
    29
  99.  @sixty-six  No. Card payments can be made offline and transmitted at a later time. They won't be able to do the pre-charge though so they may limit how much you can pump.
    29
  100. The guy with the paintbrush looks like he wandered off from the nursing home and doesn't know where he's supposed to be.
    29
  101. In the books, it's suggested that this is a side-effect of the supernatural presence. Kids are disappearing at what should be an alarming rate. (Disclaimer, I haven't read "It" but I think it was alluded to in 112263)
    29
  102. Zipper merge needs to be the standard and taught to new drivers. It's simply the best solution. (there was a time when I didn't like drivers being let in after "jumping the line" but that's simply the wrong way of looking at it as suggested in this video).
    28
  103. Watch out for your relatives, especially if they're the stubborn type. My mother had some symptoms and I thought she was taking care of it (I wasn't seeing her that often at the time) but she was just sticking her head in the sand and by the time it was manifesting itself enough that she couldn't ignore it, it was too late.
    28
  104. To be 'fair' to AOC, she went from a low-skill job to a low-skill job. She should probably try actually getting some experience of what it means to do a high skill job before commenting.
    28
  105.  @evanharrison4054  Yes. Direct contact would be execution, not assassination. That close, you're in someone's personal space and in grapple range. Way too many things to go wrong.
    27
  106. Confirmation bias in both directions I would say. Reasonable feminists see a lot of other reasonable feminists around them so tend to underestimate the presence of radical feminists but radical feminists tend to be the noisiest so those who do not move in those circles tend to overestimate (with media multipliers, of course).
    27
  107.  @Prakyy  Yeah. That puzzled me. What precondition is bringing another device in range of the others supposed to fulfil that those devices couldn't work out for themselves? I could see if it was like a device owned by the bad guys to specifically reset the others but that just doesn't seem to make much sense and a dead-man's switch would be just as effective.
    27
  108. Happens all the time already. I've had multiple perfectly functional items be obsoleted by "End of life" bullshit. The Oculus (facebook) CV1 headset has a cable that's essentially a wear part that they stopped making a couple of years ago. I bought an electric chainsaw (Worx) a couple of years ago and a gear stripped out. "Discontinued". Modern manufacturing processes mean that it's trivial to design new parts that are very slightly incompatible with the old rather than have any kind of continuity and lineage. Meanwhile my 20 year old washer/dryer still works fine with the occasional repair for which parts are still available.
    26
  109. A lot of rural areas are caught up in the opioid epidemic too so it's not impossible a lot of missing people just ODed.
    26
  110. Put some trackers in them. They are probably being stolen but at the least, dumped.
    26
  111. Word is that a lot of the people in Hollywood you don't hear from have conservative views because speaking them will tank your career.
    26
  112.  @casperd2100  Yes. I'm pretty car friendly myself but I do think he has some good points, especially where car driving kinda falls apart like in big cities. Also, pedestrian density tends to indicate other solutions might be appropriate (I like pedestrianization). I think there's definitely common ground to be found but car haters tend to get in the way of their own goals sometimes, the perfect being the enemy of the good.
    25
  113. It's quite possible that masking emboldens criminals since it adds a sense of anonymity just like being on the internet.
    25
  114.  @KuramaKitsune1  Tried that. It was still dismal, if not even worse. Threw the whole thing away.
    25
  115. 11:33 Oh wow, the people who were advocating for Rust in the Linux kernel have reevaluated the trade-offs and found that Rust should be in the kernel? Quelle surprise.
    24
  116. Word up ladies, I hear Rossman love interests get a 10% discount on motherboard repairs and a free screen protector.
    24
  117.  @rosskwolfe  Crotch fruit.
    24
  118. Lights are frequently not adjusted correctly, especially for aftermarket fitments. I've had arguments with people about it too. People don't comprehend that not blinding oncoming vehicles is a safety issue.
    24
  119. Any delegation of power increases your attack surface and should not be done lightly.
    24
  120. Given the way studies work, it's not surprising that people are skeptical and look at the meta. Even with the skin cream, how many studies did the company quietly suppress before the one that gave the results they wanted? If you had presented results that showed the sky was orange, would the people who express doubt it be wrong or are you just asking for an unreasonable level of abstraction?
    23
  121.  @MsHopeH ? MsCopeH more like

  122. To be fair, the police are probably stationed there to make sure the hotel doesn't spontaneously combust. Which would be a shame, of course.
    22
  123. We sold a minivan we didn't need in the wake of that and the young family we sold it to were amazingly happy because they were having trouble finding a vehicle to get their family around in. I'd actually considered trading it in on the program to get a new car for my mother-in-law but fuck that wasteful bullshit.
    22
  124. On the other hand, I'm old enough to remember a time when if you wanted to see something again, you had to hope for reruns. Sometimes that would never happen. Often if you missed something, that was it. There are several shows I only managed to see the end of or significant parts of in modern times. Sometimes while scratching my wooden leg.
    22
  125. Too many people just sign whatever these days (we've been conditioned to it) so they get confused when someone refuses.
    22
  126. I thing George cares about the tapes KK has in her safe.
    22
  127. In hotels in NYC.
    22
  128.  @zsoltlajtos6527  Many European cities are even older than NY. Not having good records is a problem but it isn't insurmountable, especially with modern technology.
    21
  129. I visited NYC a couple of times up to 2010. I was thinking it might be nice to go back again but the last several years have totally changed my mind.
    21
  130. There was a study came out that showed the strongest correlation with infections was public transport. Lockdowns and masks had no correlation. Dr Karlyn Borysenko went over it on her channel.
    21
  131.  @baronvonlimbourgh1716  So what? Asphalt is cheap, human living space is not. There's plenty of space for both in the US. Though it's worth pointing out that lliving spaces are also typically larger in the US than other parts of the world also. So I'm not sure what you're trying to say.
    21
  132. The government demands less energy use, the manufacturers downgrade the components to provide it then the fridge dies early and any energy saved is lost multiple times over in making a new fridge. A truly energy efficient design would be modular so the whole mechanical cooling part could be swapped out as a unit.
    21
  133. Very true. The risk of portraying these people as monsters (though what they did was surely monstrous) is that people later tell themselves that they aren't monsters and therefore the monstrous thing they are doing must be fine. It's the danger of self-reinforcing echo chambers and an inability to objectively analyze actions.
    21
  134. I believe that info is in the credit check which can involve a whole lot more than just a number. You might want to check cards haven't been opened in your name (though that's not the only reason this could happen)
    21
  135. Hah. After Latinx was roundly rejected, they're just going to come back and try again.
    21
  136. I hate the jump cuts. The biggest thing to me is that they reduce the "sincerity" of the presentation.
    20
  137. He mentioned this in a video and I went looking over recent videos to that one and never found it. I'm not sure it was ever on the public channel.
    20
  138. Not to defend what he did but it wasn't a school zone.
    20
  139. I have engaged in the judicious use of wire cutters before.

  140.  @Joszef200  The problem is that homeless people often have a lot of issues going on. That's why the kneejerk reaction of just giving them a place to live is not a good answer most of the time.
    19
  141. Brinucs?
    19
  142. I was happening since Ecclestone. Davies just kept it reined in enough to not scare the horses. And really, what else would you expect given his writing history?
    19
  143. Probably not in NYC.

  144.  @ohger1  No water pumps or hoses? How does the battery cooling work then?

  145. They run on Windows and Linux. (And Mac)

  147. Louis, get a Latitude, an Elitebook and your Thinkpad and do a comparison review. Add another string to your bow.
    19
  148. Not being familiar with London, I once used the underground to travel what looked like a really long distance (and taking a fair amount of time to do so) for what was, in reality, only a few blocks over and could have been walked in five minutes. Perhaps something similar happened here.
    19
  149. That's another aspect. If there were two sides to an issue, the 'fact checkers' would often not list something as unconfirmed but would just out rate something as true or false whichever was the approved narrative.
    18
  150. I didn't watch the show but the clips shown in this video show you as articulate and well based in your opinions. I'll definitely be seeking out the gbnews thing.

  151. Someone should be selling "Biden - haha just kidding" yard signs.

  154. Same for the US at the federal level. Only the US and Eritrea have a draconian tax law that attaches you and follows you wherever you go as long as you're an American citizen (or Eritrean).
    18
  155. I want a Milky Way

  156. Schumer has always been awful. Good to see him being called out.
    17
  157. Shouldn't happen but these streamers are exploiting some very troubled people. From the streamer's perspective, I'm sure it seems safe sitting facing a camera and watching your bank account increase but they should be aware of the risks they're taking on.
    17
  158. The regulations are often written by lobbyists who stand to benefit from the regulations. That's why they often don't seem to make much sense from an objective standpoint.
    17
  159. It really was. I think what helped was that the show was so dense with stuff going on, the intro helped get you in the mood and ready for the experience you were about to have.
    17
  160.  @EddieGooch  If the real thing don't do the trick.
    17
  161. One thing to bear in mind is that the throughput for gas pumps will likely be a lot higher for the forseeable future so costs will easier to justify (though trashcans, fair enough). The canopy makes sense too because people are basically outside the whole time they're filling where for an EV, you'd basically only be outside long enough to plug in and it wouldn't being used the rest of the charging cycle. Though with that said, I think solar powered canopies could be good for many parking spaces even without charging.
    17
  162. Old joke: If z is the radius and a the height then the volume of a pizza is Pizza
    17
  163. It's the Chewbacca defense.
    17
  164.  @AlinOrza93  Insurance would replace the value of the card stock.
    17
  165.  @volvo09  But so is a closet with a toilet in NYC.
    16
  166. I understand that a lot of the scaffolding in NYC is not so repairs can be made but because it's cheaper than doing the repairs.
    16
  167. Oh, another Sherlock Holmes show? How original.
    16
  168. The modern credo: "This is a piece of work by a master who transcends the run-of-the mill. But I can make it better". Sheer hubris.
    16
  169.  @CarnageJesterX It might help if you actually watched the review which it's clear from your comment you didn't.
    16
  170. He had some broccoli in his teeth.
    16
  171. If the drive wheels are going up the ramp, it's less of an issue. If the ramps aren't on drive wheels, the car is pushing them more, even when on the ramp.
    16
  172.  @alaron5698  Maysbe he's just asmophobic.
    16
  173. You just have to use AC instead of DC.
    16
  174. In the UK, we were taught to cross away from junctions for exactly those reasons. I think it might even be in the highway code.
    16
  175. I think this may actually be a big scam. I have a feeling refund checks were being sent out and ending up in that PO Box.
    16
  176. Get woke...
    16
  177.  @youtert  Tech edition.
    15
  178. The correct answer is that getaddrinfo should be fixed or redefined as not thread safe. If not fixed, a thread safe implementation should be used either through local implementation or using another library (this is open source, after all). I'm not sure the logic of why getaddrinfo calls getenv but it might be worth looking into that too.
    15
  179.  @OPINION27743beta  Yeah, Asmongold won't be so happy if Chipotle near him closes because it can't afford to operate anymore. Fortunately for him, he lives in Texas so he's a bit insulated from the consequences of such stupid policies.
    15
  180. Definitely. Dud knows exactly how roughly he can treat them and goes there.
    15
  181.  @mromutt  It would have paid my mortgage 7x over.
    15
  182. Yeah, we don't need a "Fall Guy Cinematic Universe" either. One and done, please.
    15
  183. "Components in your computer systems"... And it's important to bear in mind that computer systems means everything more complex than a toaster (and some toasters) including cars and medical devices and manufacturing equipment.
    15
  184. This used to be a common opinion. NPCs got reprogrammed.
    15
  185. I occasionally end up doing so and it's awful.
    15
  186. Maybe he's thinking of the flotation devices.
    15
  187. I ended up with a hi-point. It goes bang every time and the weight actually absorbs some of the recoil. I'd never carry it but they probably have their place.
    15
  188. The worst part of open source may be the community but paradoxically, the best part of open source is the community.
    15
  189. It's true. This man has no dick.
    15
  190.  @onceyouwheeinyoucantwheeout  Whatever the rest of the facts are, that's the truth. They should have totally stripped the studio and given it a makeover, maybe keeping a couple of items just for nostalgia. Kinda like how Doctor Who gets a new Tardis.
    15
  191.  @abdizur8765  They subverted your expectations of seeing a watchable movie.
    15
  192. I had a few SSDs that just stopped working. That was fairly early days and I've heard they've improved things but the state of affairs is that with SSDs, you have to be prepared to lose everything at any instant. This can also occur with spinning hard-drives, of course but gradual failure is the more common experience.
    15
  193. Not only that but by doing so, Louis helps create confidence in the market of aftermarket repairs because more competition = more competent people doing it. It's the bigger pie model rather than a bigger piece of a smaller pie.
    15
  194. To be fair to ESR, it seemed that free speech was kind of a built-in thing for all the open source communities around. It has taken some concerted effort to turn things as bad as it has got and I don't know if codifying it would have helped because they would just have played along until they had sufficiently infiltrated the organizations to subvert them anyway.
    15
  195. We used to say that the internet was designed to route around damage. Cancel culture definitely counts as damage.
    14
  196. I'm currently working on implementing Colin Furze's motorized knife belt with katanas.
    14
  197. Might be fun to join with the username 'Imnotlunduke' and variants.
    14
  198. It's actually an invaluable lesson to him about authority and how it doesn't deserve respect automatically.
    14
  199.  @mjc0961  Yes. The other ridiculous thing is that on a $100 order, I could pay $20 or alternatively, drive the ~1 mile and pickup for free. There's no nuance there. Not to mention if they did it properly, they could probably have someone with a van do a 20 delivery run instead of bunches of one-offs.
    14
  200. You won't be able to download them from USB going forward though. They're not stopping loading through USB as far as I'm aware (though I'm sure it's coming).
    14
  201. Flexibility is key also.
    14
  202.  @Fry-on-yt  The original flag was inclusive, the message being that there are all sorts of people in the world. The 'progressive' flag is deliberately exclusive and divisive and any right thinking person should oppose it.
    14
  203. Would that be the New York NYPD Police?
    14
  204.  @lazloholyfield9902  Yep. Everyone wanted Netflix income with a fraction of the content and variety. I get not wanting Netflix to get rich off of your content but this wasn't the way.
    14
  205.  @nemea6698  Also, master has other context like master/apprentice, to master a skill and master bedroom. It's a mental illness.
    14
  206. It always amused me that people would complain that the command line is too complicated yet as soon as anything gets tricky with Windows, it's off to regedit.
    14
  207. Unfortunately, in the same way that Microsoft seems to be copying Apples shitty hardware, Linux developers have been adopting the flaws in Microsoft's shitty software.
    13
  208.  @mytech6779  Can confirm. People were complaining about "political correctness" in the 80s. It was more just an annoyance at that stage but it was putting down roots and is now a major problem. Make no mistake, this is going to take down many valued organizations as once established, it's near impossible to root out.
    13
  209. I hear Eugene said he liked to do it for contingencies.
    13
  210. The part of the plot I don't understand is when the board doesn't come in and boot everyone with a C at the beginning of their job title.
    13
  211.  @jacobleeson4763  Dollar Tree has always been a dollar until recently. I think they were a little less for some candy (maybe 2 for a dollar? Not sure.)
    13
  212. Quite a lot us preferred when phones had removable batteries so you could get back to a full battery in seconds. Also, many people do not have the option to charge at home. That's a problem that needs to be solved too.
    13
  213. Another common question from journalists: "Is this my arse or my elbow?" also "Do you have a mirror and a dollar bill I can borrow?"
    13
  214.  @watnoudan  For a $5000 handbag that cost $20 to make and would be destroyed if it didn't sell by the end of the season.
    13
  215. If you're a "centrist" and complain about the right being political but don't complain about the left being political, you ain't no centrist. (Vice versa too, of course).
    13
  216.  @lyianx  Bait & switch. Zero respect for the audience's intelligence.
    13
  217. Slackware not woke AFAIK.
    13
  218. Scalping usually means the manufacturer should be raising their price (this encourages manufacturers to try to find ways to meet demand) but the public has been conditioned to react badly to that. Any other method attempting to address the issue is typically a kludge.
    13
  219. One would think that properties that were due to be demolished should have a notice posted days in advance.
    12
  220.  @Canada_Dominium  Unless you're meaning that all sound is rushing air, car noise is mostly tire and engine noise. Though that's not really relevant to the sound absorbing properties of the surroundings.
    12
  221. I still do it. Not looking forward to upgrading my S5.
    12
  222. They could have had Grogu pop in from time to time too. Bringing in fresh content with the promise that you'll see more of the little guy along the way would have kept people interested. Just like a Skinner box.
    12
  223.  @MeRiaNevaMynd  It goes both ways, sadly. Lots of awful tenants but the good ones are stars.
    12
  224. This kind of thing is often the sign of a company in trouble.
    12
  225.  @YouTube_stole_my_handle  Or just paper. If you have enough space and it's a quick repair, you can even just put the screws on the surface in the rough layout of how you took them out. Be sure to make sure you don't have a cat first.
    12
  226. I'd put money they gave it to the new guy or an intern.
    12
  227.  @lurker993  Texas might have something to say about that. There are extradition procedures.
    12
  228.  @NZTrekking  100%. There was a lot of stuff that was not appropriate for Doctor Who (and into Torchwood) and I'm not just talking about alphabet stuff. People need to remove the rose (no pun intended) tinted glasses. It just wasn't quite enough to upset the applecart. Now the BBC has taken the guard rails off and we've come to the inevitable outcome.
    12
  229. With the steering wheel one, you just know someone was driving around with vice-grips.
    12
  230.  Dog  Ballot printer go brrrrr...
    12
  231.  @Eagles_Eye  I think Iggy was referring more to the brake-saving possibilities. Though I find this is much more of a thing on manuals than automatics.
    12
  232. Bear in mind that typically the retail space is not the only use for the building. Louis' store has three stories above it. Presumably residential.
    12
  233.  @futuza  And then it gets big and you have to have other contributors and then a social media coordinator, HR, steering committees, a few other things and if it's current day, suddenly there's a good chance subversive forces have entered your organization.
    12
  234. Time to take another look at TempleOS, I think.
    12
  235.  @SethPowell7 Not to mention the huge boost they got through the lockdowns. This is sheer greed.
    12
  236. This is apparently a common thing with gyms. They'll also send debt collectors after you if you miss a payment. Be careful out there. If the collection agencies do come after you, check your local laws. In many states, uncollected debt expires (by law) after so many years.
    12
  237. Just watch those parasocial relationships. Louis seems like a cool guy but he's on the other side of a camera. Be careful not to end up like a stalker like that one guy.
    12
  238.  @sy73326  Some did.
    12
  239. Hating people for their immutable characteristics is bad. Unless they have the wrong immutable characteristics, apparently.
    12
  240. Sounds like they weren't trying to get evidence of a crime from the cameras but to conceal it.
    12
  241.  @jonathanstone4878  Nice try. California has been blue for two decades, arguably three.
    12
  242. People need to check their 365 licenses. Apparently Microsoft have been doing a forced upgrade (at a higher price) and including Copilot and it's possible to downgrade to the old tier with copilot removed at the old price.
    12
  243. From Linus past behavior, he seems to try to wing it to transfer blame when the spotlight is on him. I assume someone had to sit him down and have a good talk with him when all that stuff with Gamers' Nexus went down.
    12
  244. There's an acronym for that. Don't JADE (Justify Argue Defend or Explain). It's not globally applicable but when people are being unreasonable, it's a good place to go.
    12
  245. To be fair, I have an Epson that I use occasionally and when the ink dries in the nozzles, it's a pain to get them clear and I killed a set of cartridges trying to get it to come clean (used about 1/10 per clean). I've ended up buying a kit that lets you push cleaning fluid through the nozzles which is a lot cheaper. I keep meaning to set up a schedule to print something every couple of weeks but haven't got it set up yet. The real lesson is to avoid inkjets if possible. I have a cheap Brother B&W laser I use most of the time and it never lets me down.
    12
  246. It was a pretty bad move. I had not long read the books so I could piece it together but I knew many people for whom it was incomprehensible. It turned out there were bigger issues though.
    12
  247.  @Jebsauce  Dollar general is not really a dollar store though.
    12
  248. I could get behind this if it ended in a dance-off.
    11
  249. Yes. Firework complaints in NYC are through the roof right now. Louis himself has mentioned it in his videos and you can even hear them in the background sometimes.
    11
  250. Yeah, all brands seem to go through their bad patches. Perhaps Seagate more than others.
    11
  251. I've been to a couple of timeshare things (1000 trails and Hilton) and the pressure is quite high. We went in with no intention to buy and held out but the persuasion effort is through the roof. I recommend not doing it. Better to pay for yourself. Even the time you have to do the presentation is not worth what you save. And if you're not completely resolute, you could find yourself with a millstone around your neck.
    11
  252.  @makisbizarreadventure4669  He was trying to play power games and he got outplayed. End of story.
    11
  253. But no label. So it all balances out.
    11
  254. +Manolis Gledsodakis, you can also throw it in the microwave for a few seconds to warm it up. Don't do this for too long though as you may overcharge the battery.
    11
  255. The free shipping thing is about not being out of the price of shipping if you need a refund. It wasn't helped with ebay sellers loading cost into shipping to keep their listing fees low and improve their search rankings.
    11
  256.  @kimlground206  When I lived in student digs, the landlord had a pay meter on each of our rooms with the communal areas just as part of the rent. It was a bit annoying but kept things simple for the landlord and the meters were not excessively greedy.
    11
  257. Musk is using the new definition of "lifetime" which is "when our product breaks, that's the end of its lifetime. Sometimes sooner".
    11
  258. As someone from Europe, it surprised me that the plate is owned by the person, not assigned to the vehicle (though it the vehicle and plate are connected, it's not the primary connection). This is what leads to the whole paper plate thing (and for private sales, people often 'chance it' because you have to get the car home somehow)
    11
  259. This is why you shouldn't let politicians be in charge of anything important.
    11
  260. They've also gone back to "separate but equal". They just won't use the words.
    11
  261.  @bitessun  I've seen ads for their other shows which is annoying enough but I think this is straight up ads and may be during the programmes which is 100% unacceptable.
    11
  262. Nobody loves them. They're just poor boys from poor families.
    11
  263. I have an idea for a Usenet 2.0. Properly decentralized (no central control) and using cryptography.
    11
  264. Louis should use the crazy-ex-girlfriend girl in his thumbnails.
    11
  265. If it was any noisier, he couldn't affoid it.
    11
  266. Google have not been treating what dejanews became very well either.
    11
  267. From the way he talks, a leftist who likes to LARP as independent or moderate. It's fairly common.
    11
  268.  @Lionbladier  The truth is that it's a rather general theme that can be applied to many different but similar circumstances and thus people will draw their own interpretation.
    11
  269. Tesco Value Luxury Resort.
    11
  270.  @jackalazzerking3219  "iTs alWayS BeEN iN gAMeS" Yeah but it used to be done competently.
    11
  271.  @dreamingmusic3299  "Diversity is our bludgeon"
    10
  272. Having hard rules is a tough sale when it's all kind-of arbitrary anyway and when they junked up the system with a whole bunch of money-grubbing TLDs a few years ago in any case. But really, what it all points to is that the domain name system is awkwardly engineered and that domain names have too much prominence because URLs are too visible to users.
    10
  273.  @StarDruid  You could probably beat a man to death with it and still get two perfectly done slices after too.
    10
  274.  @dertythegrower  Word is in some places, people are leaving their cars unlocked and trunks open now because the locks don't stop them anymore.
    10
  275. The thumbnail looks like you're about to sell me a ShamWow
    10
  276.  @TheFatalcrest  He's undoubtedly cosigning the loan himself (or possibly just 'loaning' her the money)
    10
  277. Smaller even.
    10
  278. I got a G7. Big Clive also has one so well recommended. I like it a lot. I upgraded from an S5. Only thing I miss is the removable battery.
    10
  279. They cry out as they hit you.
    10
  280.  @zawwin1846 That would explain why the store wouldn't want them to do it. The arresting is on politicians.
    10
  281. That's reminiscent of an old scam. The scammers would watch the obituaries and when someone died, send a bill for some small amount for something like plumbing repairs or somesuch. These bills would often get paid because the executors of the estates assumed it was a valid bill.
    10
  282. Look into the tax history of that residential building (it's available online). The ownership history is quite interesting. I don't know enough to tell but it looks like shenanigans might be involved.
    10
  283. As someone who does my own repairs, I sometimes have to buy parts from the dealer. They don't always have them in stock but they usually turn up within a couple of days.
    10
  284.  @fi879  Definitely get an electric kettle. And if you care, import a 240V one and find an electrician who is not too fussy about codes.
    10
  285. I dunno, we stopped doing the stopping for a meal on long trips. It's nicer to get there earlier and spend time winding down (especially as we had a few occasions where service/food took forever to arrive and the stop was closer to two hours than one). Take something homemade and you save money too.
    10
  286. I seem to recall hardware that would run Java natively... (I may be thinking of JavaOS which still needed a bytecode interpreter).
    10
  287.  @millerrepin4452  Well the yeast starts coming.
    10
  288. Interesting proposition. We're all familiar with the 2M book deals by now. That's surely not the only avenue for such antics.
    10
  289. He's only making plans for Nigel.
    10
  290. Makes sense. I was fairly sure this wasn't a feature of PNGs. Though I was hesitant to say it couldn't be as I have seen metadata induced weirdness with pictures before (usually image rotation being set in metadata but not honored by forum software).
    10
  291.  @SebastianWeinberg  Partly. Sure, they were just banged out at the time but they do represent actual work. I don't think they're just for reference either or there would only be one of each. If a studio wants a Tennessee driving license, they can sell them one already created. It would be a bunch of extra work to recreate from scratch and I don't agree it would be "newer and shinier" (why would it?). The main point is, for whatever reason they are storing them, they obviously want to keep them so protecting them from that water heater seems like a no-brainer. Probably they just never even thought about it. Additionally, one thing getting damaged would be no biggie but that one water heater could do a lot of damage. Thousands of hours of work wasted.
    10
  292. 100% intentional. See also the toaster video.
    10
  293. I couldn't get Corel Draw 4 working on a recent version of Windows. I think it failed at 7 which was a pain. VMs work well though. I switched to Inkscape anyway.
    9
  294. Care for a game of Gwent?
    9
  295. Are we really that much in a minority that these manufacturers are not willing to cater to us? How about a swapable battery with the case back built-in? Then it can be made as big as anyone would want. Add a few screws if you really want to improve the water resistance.
    9
  296.  @Potacintvervs  Peppa pig is awful. I won't let my kids watch it. The dad is portrayed as a total joke loser and Peppa is just nasty. I hear Bluey is based on Peppa a bit but in comparison, it seems to have been made with love and not spite.
    9
  297.  @windywednesday4166  Yes. I have a policy I never make commitments to big decisions the same day. It's saved me a lot of grief.
    9
  298. The problem is, in these days of social media, it's hard to be a quiet conservative. Especially with what these fanatics consider a conservative.
    9
  299.  @DanWhiteT  People have different tolerances for spoilers. I'm very spoiler tolerant to the point that I don't care if I hear major plot points (in fact, I'm thinking of reading the book series once this season is over) but I do try and respect others for spoilers and this is definitely what many would consider a spoiler that will affect their enjoyment of the show. Edit: I paused at the 14:00 mark to see if there were spoiler warnings and just resumed. Yeah, it gets real spoilery from there.
    9
  300.  @EuroGuy85 Maybe he works for NYC government.
    9
  301. That works on two levels.
    9
  302. They had a big corruption investigation here and some of the amounts the politicians were selling out for were only three figures.
    9
  303.  @ImpendingJoker  My 2000 Jetta does. Nearly had a heart attack when I went to pick it up from the dealer and they'd left it in gear parked 2 inches away from the car in front.
    9
  304.  @kephir4eg  Thing is, my current dryer is still churning along after 22 years. With my experience with recent appliances, it would be a hard sell to get me to spend money on something that might not last long enough to make up the price difference.
    9
  305.  @nicormoreno  "It's Trumps fault". LOL. You people never change.
    9
  306. You could if you thought it might cause the other party to remediate the situation. I don't think that's possible in this case though, the damage has been done.
    9
  307. It's not just kids. I've noticed it with some adults too.
    9
  308. There was that dude with the "they make good tacos" when his child was murdered.
    9
  309. The older people know that life is for living. They also know they have lived their life and probably wouldn't want to be responsible for others not being able to live theirs. There are worse things than being dead.
    9
  310.  @LanceThumping  Yes. Someone else said the dried fruits were great in home-made icecream. Though I got some that were packaged and they were pretty good just as snacks.
    9
  311. I agree. I have a 2 yo and would like to know some tunes to throw at him. Being a metalhead, I don't have a good familiarity with classical or jazz.
    9
  312.  @ashanator1991  This was a 2nd offense too. I don't know what kind of world the people who are saying that's crazy want to live in.
    9
  313.  @TheStarForge  If gold was traded based on its utility value only, it would be a fraction of what it is.
    9
  314. They might have removed the garbage cans because they're a potential place for bombs. They did it in the train stations in the UK when the IRA got more active.
    9
  315. It's not quite the right shape for large rolls but as someone else mentioned, stacks (folded) are also an option.
    9
  316.  @scragar The error code was really useful for finding an MSDN page where a Microsoft Certified Professional would be condescending to you and totally fail to address your problem.

  322. Ramen need to be cooked for a while in my experience. A kettle works fine for cup noodles though. I actually prefer mine with the soup reduced to almost no loose liquid too.

  323. As a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri, I seem to have escaped from a Douglas Adams novel.

  324.  @anarchochristian1910  I don't believe you can. Yet I believe you can wear a wig. Which is an interesting contradiction.

  325. And to bring it full circle, a space suit from 2001 was used in Babylon 5.

  326. It depends. LibreOffice starts grammar checking my pronoun usage and that's a hard erase.

  327.  @Canada_Dominium  Yes. Cobblestones, for example (though those may increase noise directly from tires). Non-flat surfaces disperse sound. You can see this with some sound deadening tiles.
    8
  328.  @Canada_Dominium  Your comments are neither useful nor interesting and your attempts at snark could only be described as weak, at best, if one were being charitable. Oh, and your bid to divine anything about me at all across the internet is 100% laughable. I'd say try harder but honestly... probably best not.

  329. Pretty much. If there's one thing we've learned it's that given time, any large internet company turns to the dark side.

  330.  @since1876  Worth doing for the experience if you don't get signed up. They know most people go in thinking they won't sign up but they hook enough anyway. Be sure you know yourself really, really well. Personally I won't do another one because the presentation is fairly unpleasant and a waste of my time.

  331. Authors often end up writing against their ideology. For example, a lot of the themes running through the Harry Potter books are actually counter to Rowlings politics. (Not referring to any of the recent trans stuff).

  334. From comments in this thread, it seems like some kind of "Right to repair alliance" might be a good idea with some kind of logo available for companies/products in compliance.

  335.  @tested Unfortunately, that lock will be able to be defeated by banging on the side of the box, gradually moving the bar out of position.

  336. The left appear to be acting so desperate that it makes me think (even more) that the polls are not going to be a good prediction of the electoral results and they know it. Does anyone really think this would be going on if the left thought their guy was a shoe-in?

  337.  @SomeDude518  Although it's fun to poke the electoral college deniers, I'm still sticking with the 'popular vote' means nothing in these elections.

  338. Change the bear to a spider and see how it goes.

  339. It has crept up over the years too. It used to be 10% then 15 then 20. I think there's something shady about that.
    8
  340. To be fair, though I have no interest in "A League of their own", giving cancelled shows some kind of ending, even if short, would be hugely welcome as a general principle (and would vastly improve their value in back catalogs to boot). I thought this was learned from Jericho but nobody seemed to catch the lesson. That nobody seems to be interested in telling a complete story from beginning to end is a symptom of much deeper problems in Hollwyood.
    8
  341.  @Bob5mith  It is worth being aware, however that US homes do have 240V available and furthermore, that 240V is typically run to the kitchen where it is used by the stove. Having a nice high-wattage kettle is certainly not out of the question.
    8
  342. How about a round of Gwent?
    8
  343. This is true. There is definitely less opportunity for comment on a well done repair.
    8
  344.  @GerinoMorn  The most logical way is if the job you're supposed to be doing is getting done. Though it seems in big tech companies, people are just hired to fill seats and/or build empires.

  346. They're trusting the store to have done their due dilligence. Which is apparently not a good idea. Something like this needs to have something where it's signed by Ledger or something. The same should be true for Firefox, Chrome etc. I think what he says about known, trusted entities at 7:30 is probably a mistake. Who knows if the upload process could be compromised?

  347.  @PaulN504  Also, for a while, electrical service was pretty much just for lighting and low power stuff. For many people, electric dryers would not have been an option.

  349. If true, it adds some interesting speculation of what might also be regular risk factors for alzheimers absent of covid. Could other colds and flus also be involved?
    8
  350.  @InfernosReaper  There's supposed to be a "non-obvious" part to patents but the patent office is often not rigorous enough and leads stuff to be settled in the courts. Which has obvious issues.

  352.  @garydiamondguitarist  Honestly? I got an air fryer basically for free and it get used a lot. It's basically a fast convection oven. Getting much more value out of it than the instant pot.

  354.  @nigelft  Could be. Thatcher pretty much invented dropping her voice an octave.

  355. This is the problem when people are happy with 'fact checkers' as long as they agree with their preconceived notions. No, it's just a bad idea in the first place because nobody has a monopoly on the truth.
    8
  356.  @Poldovico  It breaks down on on personal and single product sites if when you fix a typo, your links break. Brodie's just being too dogmatic on this one. Another issue is when users type l instead of 1 for example (identical in some fonts). In the URLs described, the ID always takes you to the page and the title is typically just used to give more meaning to the user (not ideal but immensely useful often). Some fun has been had on some pages where the provided title is actually used to populate the title on the linked page itself.

  359.  @susanwojcicki5714  Yup. I don't know if that's what happened but that's the simple answer. Dude was messed up from his past and pushed over the edge by his present. All the drone stuff would be just a side effect. I think that there are still some questions that need answering though.

  360. On the other hand, if you do want a word processor with source code, they are available and can be installed directly on your Windows system.

  361. The more complex a system becomes... Which is why I argue against increasing complexity unnecessarily. The *nix community used to seem to get this intrinsically but now it seems even the simplest app is a script which requires installing a whole new subsystem.

  366.  @Canada_Dominium  Yes. I don't see your point. I was commenting about options for sound deadening in city environments.
    7
  367.  @Canada_Dominium  Aerodynamic noise is essentially nothing at city speeds and pavement is effectively flat at the wavelengths involved. I suggest you start at the Wikipedia page for roadway noise and go from there (Watching the video we're commenting on might be an idea too).
    7
  368.  @Canada_Dominium  Hah, so you're rejecting the information in this video, my own personal experience and respected third party information. I think we're done here.

  372.  @HangerHangar  There are lots of good mod on reddit. Though a lot of bad ones too. The issue is that the reddit admins don't have much incentive to police the bad mods so many subs are very toxic (or maybe I could say 2Xic).
    7
  373.  @airynod  They should have worked a little bit harder and came up with backronyms for BC and AD then everyone would have been happy. CE and BCE seem unnecessarily deliberately antagonistic.
    7
  374. Ping (latency) is also important for videoconferencing and VOIP and will be important if Metaverse (or similar technologies) becomes a thing (basically anything using direct interaction between human beings). Also it might be useful for self-driving cars (wonder who could be interested in those?) It's also a lot cheaper to put satellites in the lower orbit than geosynchronous. Whether it's worthwhile is a different discussion. I'll also point out that latency also affects TCP, requiring tricks which Starband (not Starlink) implemented in hardware with their M180 modem and then forced everyone on to their M360 modem which required shitty software drivers and made it a PITA if you weren't a Windows user.
    7
  375.  @svampebob007  Yes, there should be plenty of money. Economies of scale mean that taxes should be cheaper in cities but they are staggeringly higher. This alone is a sign of massive corruption but when services are crappy as well...

  376.  @mug786  I think he's talking about Gnu Hurd. Personally, I think it's a shame BEOS never got more of a shake. But here we are.

  377.  @Perfectcrime87  Facebook right wing? Now I know you're not a serious person.

  380.  @Doozy_Titter  When his teeth were rotting, they would bleed and the blood would get on his hands and he would wipe them off on the wall IIRC. Poor dude has a tragic recent past and although he says he doesn't have depression, I suspect he probably does. Though I couldn't say he isn't handling it the best way he can.

  387.  @treytilley333  I suspect the lead isn't cheap these days. Though yes, lots of unnecessary VFX and a lot of stunts and trashed vehicles. Having the story be transatlantic probably didn't help either. But no doubt also lots of just plain waste too.
    7
  388.  @BrodieRobertson  Some of us bought fairly recent hardware that Win11 won't install on. Of course, I'm something of a Linux adept and already have dual booting going on. To be clear, many people will buy new hardware but I know a lot of people who upgraded their OS or had someone (sometimes me) do it for them.

  389. apk-mirror is also good for a lot of older versions of software. Of course, if it also uses web services, there's a good chance you're still screwed.

  390. I wonder if it's still there under the plastic. Or at least the pads for it.
    7
  391. Yes. Watch out for yourself Louis. This person is likely to think that you're what's getting in the way now. Hopefully he's just a pest but sometimes they're willing to go further.

  393. I don't have any idea if Patrick Volkerding is woke or not and that's the way I like it.

  399. It happens easily when using tools like yt-dlp. It can break things pretty well like some files become invisible over samba (or maybe the vifs implementation in vlc, I forget). Fortunately it can be told to use a restricted character set which makes things ugly but at least they work.

  408. Some of us get fed up of "flavor of the month" languages which are going to solve all ills. Java, Ruby, Python and so many others and all pushed by people with eyes glowing with evangelical zeal. Now a base-level Linux install comes with more a dozen languages ready to go, often needed for some trivial operation that could be done with something more core. Talk about bloat. Microsoft should be jealous. And there'll be another 'perfect' language around the corner next year.
    7
  409. Your first quote is redundant.
    7
  410.  @afroahmed3989  Sure. 'Independent' is about corporate structure, not sequel count.
    7
  411.  @ghostbravo7127  Problem is, all that is simply fanwank to recontextualize studio decisions and the studios have been making awful decisions (word is the movie itself was completely reshot). I guess we'll see how it plays out when it hits the screens.
    7
  412. I'm just waiting for the next couple of versions of USB where everything will just negotiate what voltage it needs up to from sub 5V up to 120/240V.

  417.  @user-dc9zo7ek5j  The USA is not even the worst place. Parts of Europe (UK and Germany to my knowledge) have gone off a cliff.

  418. It sounds like it's less of a calibration and more simply a setting.
    7
  419. It all becomes power games once you strip away the rhetoric.

  420.  @Anonnonner9546  No. They're used anywhere. There's one at the end of my drive (for the road). There's no requirement to keep them current either (not that that excuses anything).
    7
  421. Time Bandits is rated pretty well though.
    7
  422. The start menu, click to focus, things becoming bloated and monolithic and dumbed down. You can still get a good, streamlined user experience which is why raspberry pi, android and chromebooks are a thing but the KISS mantra has been abandoned in many cases (KDE and systemd two major examples).

  426.  @xr6lad  I'm only a little younger and we got a little Roman history but not much. I've probably learned more about it since I've been out of school to be honest. Though history was never my subject and I've forgotten much, I think "modern" ideas about teaching history were already coming to bear. I mostly remember getting a lot of stone/bronze age "life experience" type stuff.
    6
  427.  @mjc0961  Well said. Though I'm not sure that the removal of the headphone jack is about selling headphones from anyone other than Apple. There seems to be an obsession with how phones look when not in use and a total rejection of functional design. Honestly, I think some of these reviewers would be happier if they were handed a piece of clear, tempered glass with a company logo stamped on it.
    6
  428. Another thing you have to watch for with inkjets is that the nozzle clean function uses a significant amount of the ink in the cartridges. If you can, I recommend getting a cleaning kit which involves pushing cleaning fluid through the nozzles with a syringe. This saves precious ink and is less hard on the nozzles.
    6
  429. I visited about 12 years ago and it was OK. I don't see myself ever going back unless things change radically.

  430. It's also not a private platform when the government is telling the platform what to do and/or have backdoor access to the platform.

  431. "I'm from the government and I'm here to help".
    6
  432. I've lived in cities and been to NYC. My assessment was that I could probably happily live and work there for about a year and that would be enough for me. If I was single, I might give it a go. I like my space though.
    6
  433. That's actually some pretty serious spoilers (though I'm not someone overly bothered by spoilers).

  434. From the few short clips of Viltrumite society, it looks like they do. Which doesn't make a lot of sense but that's diversity quotas for you.

  435. They're trying to include the arts in there somehow too. Most odd. (STEAM)
    6
  436. Louis, you said you nearly made some mistakes a few years ago and no doubt you have actually made real mistakes along the way too (as. no doubt. have we all). How would you feel if John Deere set up a team to look into the minutiae of your life to get you off of right to repair through legal persecution? What if something like that is what happened to you with the lien?
    6
  437. Ah, the "anyone not to the left of Stalin is right-wing" position in the wild.
    6
  438.  @maxworth4687  peaceably assemble

  439. The battery getting old can cause crashes due to being unable to supply power so the manufacturers decided to slow the phones down to require less power. Side benefit that it makes your phone look shit next to a newer model when all you need is a new battery.
    6
  440.  @AndRei-yc3ti  Well, you certainly wouldn't hear about it on Tik Tok. Or about Tiananmen square or Winnie the Poo.
    6
  441. Knew it was coming. Didn't know it was here. Hopefully they'll reshelf some of the stuff they'd discontinued.
    6
  442. Louis, I took a look at the publicly available tax records for that "piece of shit" and it was quite interesting. I didn't understand it enough to make a comment and maybe somebody else could but it definitely looked like Shenanigans to me with the property trading hands frequently, often to holdings with very similar names.

  443. There are chips with ant-tamper layers that will destroy the silicon. It's only a matter of time.
    6
  444. Whiplashing from handing out drugs like candy and causing an opioid epidemic to refusing drugs to people who are in chronic pain has to be one of the most sick things ever. No wonder people are losing faith in medical 'experts' across the board.

  445.  @zm1786  Mmm, iceberg, e-coli and hepatitis medley...

  446. It's probably still a fancy hall-effect. The only angle to be interested in is the one between the keyboard and the screen.

  447.  @WutipongWongsakuldej  DNS is hierarchical and decentralized. You don't need to store the whole thing (which is what used to be done and why DNS was invented).

  448.  @paulsengupta971  There's no end to the madness of that logic though. Until you finally get to a kettle that runs forever and never actually boils that is. All to save an insignificant amount of electricity.

  449. It was always there.

  450. DOS is still very relevant. To the degree that a few years ago, Microsoft decided to take it seriously and supercharge it to Powershell.

  451.  @David-lr2vi  When you're engine braking, the clutch is engaged and not wearing. 300,000 miles and the main issue with my gearbox is 1st is a little tricky these days.

    6
  454.  @corrosivepyro  There's a lot to complain about.
    6
  455.  @LincolnRon  Show some stats. Though the belief that that's the case is an issue and it's the media that's to blame for that. I've been pulled over several times and the only consequence has been a lighter wallet.
    6
  456. The dread when the phone rang is why I gave up being a sysadmin. Only outmatched by the feeling of looking at the phone and seeing "15 missed calls".
    6
  457. Gotta have the luminol too.
    6
  458.  @PK-tt5kk  Right. But OP was talking about total living space vs total parking space. If we just want to talk about cities, that's another discussion. Though highly dense cities are something of an anachronism with modern communication options. NYC is suffering a huge loss in tax revenue as businesses close down or move out and the people are only likely to follow as rents are ridiculous. The reasoning behind larger living space in the US is another discussion (I think the argument you're repeating is fallacious) but, once again, I was addressing the narrow point that the OP made that there was more space for cars than people. It's a pointless comparison, there's plenty of space for both.
    6
  459. This fantastic idea is going to lead to false negatives with the high beams and the drivers not bothering to dip them because they're paying for the car to do it.

  461. One day, someone is going to implement a design that can be tightened from the top and the world will be changed forever.
    6
  462. Check out the shadowstats website. They aim for a more accurate report of inflation. There are tricks the government uses to underreport.
    6
  463. Just go full RMS and have a script email you webpages.
    6
  464. Unfortunately, IIRC, it was just after he'd said/done something despicable.
    6
  465. The key is that your workers are people just like you exchanging their time for money. They take direction from you but they are not your underlings.
    6
  466. This could be interesting. It seems quite often these days that when I go to reddit, subs have been closed due to lack of active moderation. So kicking out mods could cause a real issue for smaller subs. Even on bigger subs, there is a good chance that otherwise reasonable mods could end up being replaced by the bad, power-hungry ones (you know the type). Either way, that could be very short-sighted (but then, that's typical like when they edited users comments).
    6
  467. It seems like it's only if you move state. It still doesn't make a lot of sense tho.
    6
  468. No. She would be a prole and wondering what happened. So many of these people have delusional ideas about what their role in the hierarchy would be.
    6
  469. Yeah, "Open source" was kinda the default near the beginning. Then companies started to see value in keeping their source code proprietary and selling the binaries. RMS's actions were in reaction to this change. I believe he was unable to obtain the source code to his printer driver or something.
    6
  470.  @literallycanadian  Pop over to Digikey, there's plenty listed. My wife's kiln is DPST, my stove is SPDT and, it's been a while but I believe my old AC thermostat relays were SPST too. I do think that DPDT will be more common in general as it covers a wider range of options.
    6
  471. It's generally better to harden code to handle it though because you're going to run across it sooner or later. Not taking care to handle input properly is how SQL injection attacks are born. But yeah, for quicky get-the-job-done scripts, it's easier to keep it simple. Just be careful of scope creep.
    6
  472. The problem with that approach is you've now given them a list of things to argue about. Use judiciously.

  473.  @xuzadem  They have a more inflation button and they're leaning on it hard. It's called deficit spending. You may have heard of it as "money printer go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"
    6
  474. I dunno. I think I'm on board with this getting rid of use of the word 'master'. My only question is what should my slaves call me now?

  475. Mozilla has been sus for a while. Ousting someone for their unrelated political position? Big red flag there.

  476. Maybe figured if she had a 50, she had a stack. Not logical but none of it was.
    6
  477.  @Arkiasis  That's not really very true. Urban centers lean left but there are typically still plenty of conservatives. (They're often the ones actually generating the wealth that makes cities attractive). If you look at a map of the US broken by how people vote rather than the outcome of elections, it's more purple than blue or red.

  479.  @PuffinPass  In light of all that's gone on. Some suggest that he was got out of the way.

  480. There is a ray of hope that things are getting better. The business park I used to work in definitely had more concessions to being a pleasant place to work and the new stuff that was being built even moreso with a bunch of mixed zone stuff going in too. Still heavily biased toward cars and public transport meager at best but definitely not as horrible as what you were showing. (I'll just note that I have seen almost equally awful business parks in the U.K. But there are usually buses so there's that, I suppose).

  481. I still remember having to edit modelines just to get X to work on your monitor.

  482. @White Krispy I think there's a good chance that's the case but they're not administering an antibody test so this doesn't detect people who have already had it. Apparently the test also detects other corona viruses - i.e. the common cold.

  483. This might be one of those substitution things where they use a lower quality product instead and act like you're buying the same thing.
    6
  484. I heard one about picking out camouflaged tanks that was triggering on whether the sky was sunny or not because the training data was garbage.
    6
  485. I'm reminded of Orson Scott Card's Xenocide where OCD is latent until triggered.

  486. Definitely one of those albums where everything came together. It was the first CD I ever bought (it was cassettes previous to that) so I listened to it a lot.

  487. If you get smart enough, you can also do tricks like discounts for deprioritized charging or "take me to 30 miles range ASAP then just trickle".

  488. This is not an open source problem. It is happening with organizations, both profit and non-profit everywhere
    5
  489. Yes. I was concerned about UV resistance too. It's very much an issue here where it's sunny so much. Even inside my shed, the light through the window has led to me going to pick up plastic things and just getting a handful of plastic debris.
    5
  490. Quite happy with my Moto G7. Headphone jack and SD card. No removable battery, alas but the fast charging makes that a little better. By no means a premium phone but does everything I need and was easily rooted. Looks like they're sticking with the formula for newer models too.

  493. I don't think this is an accident. Irony is a well established rhetorical technique. Very clever.

  503.  @backwoodslich  A lot of the shows back in the day were created to sell the toys. I'm not sure that's happening as much anymore.
    5
  504.  @RS-ls7mm  Even if it doesn't fail, companies these days are offering "lifetime support" where the "lifetime" can be as little as four years (or maybe less) from the date of purchase. IoT stuff is troublesome in its own right. Always pick stuff that can work standalone and, if possible, is ancillary to more simple equipment.
    5
  505.  @Cyricist001  In the book, it's providing a service to the state. The point being to not exclude anyone who genuinely wants to attain that status. (Note that I'm not explicitly endorsing it, merely discussing how it works in the book). The book also presents that universal franchise already lead to disaster (which is beginning to look fairly realistic).

  507. Most people only expect a certain level of scuminess from businesses they are dealing with. It seems (some) gyms have decided that they're going to take advantage of that. It probably speaks to the business model of gyms which is where people join for aspirational reasons but then largely don't turn up.

  510. It's a gamble and muggles should keep away. With that said, it shouldn't be illegal and people walk away from casinos with empty pockets all the time.

  511. Bingo. I'm not a fan of this and hate shitcoins in general but it all seems pretty transparent.
    5
  512.  @bluedragon4sho  Not only that but it's a very wide ranging pardon, not just for crimes which he's been accused and charged but for also for crimes that likely implicate the big guy himself. I wouldn't be surprised if we see similar for Joe himself by Jan 20. Though his will likely go back another decade or two. I'm not outraged though. This was obvious. I'm more outraged at the shenanigans in 2020 which allowed this to happen. Everything else followed from that.

  513.  @liwojenkins  If MFA is implemented correctly. Often ways around are left. But even then, some of these hacks work on current, logged-in sessions. Some people keep all their YouTube stuff on completely separate systems for this reason. Linus is big enough that this should probably be the case there but we've seen before that he often plays fast-and-loose with best practices.

    5
  517.  @looksinfectious9642  Nothing wrong with taking a look. I visited several places I'd heard of when I visited New York. Going in (without business) would be a different thing and if I did, it wouldn't be to say more than "I've watched a lot of videos and just wanted to see it for myself" and wouldn't expect any more unless it was initiated by someone there. Just don't presume of the time and attention of others.

  518.  @rossmanngroup  SMS integration was what differentiated them from the 100 other messaging apps out there. I might use such an app (I value encryption) but it's a harder sell for all the people who don't. My wife just asked me to disable it for her because she has no use for it anymore, for example. My contact list in Signal is now desultory. Metcalf's law is a thing. The real issue is that the protocol was not open and other people were not allowed to make compatible clients. No competition in the market of ideas.

  520. I've found that usually time out rooms have large white porcelain chairs in them. What many companies don't realize is that employees typically value the free shit out of proportion to its cost.

  522. The longer time goes on, the more the Linux world becomes occupied by people who wish they were really using Windows. It's unrecognizable from 25 years ago and a fair bit of it not in a good way.

  523. They did have the DX for a while. I'm guessing they didn't sell all that well. Clearly Amazon is hoping that adding a stylus might be the killer app. Plus in relative terms, I think the price is lower.

  527. Karlyn Boysenko read through a study recently that said the biggest factor in coronavirus cases was public transport (not masks, lockdowns or social distancing). I suspect that shoving sick people into nursing homes is probably a factor too but I don't have the raw data on that.

  528.  @squidware  Not sure what they're using it for but udp is handy for a fair bit of lightweight stuff that doesn't require a reliable connection like 'I'm alive' notifications.

  529. Haha, yeah, blame America. Those European consumer protection laws didn't come about in a vacuum.

  530.  @hughacosta1090  Surveyor would be the minimum for anything like this. Even if you have the right lot, one mistake and you've built in the wrong place (too close to a boundary, over a right-of-way etc) and you're in big trouble anyway.

  532. It definitely leans a bit that way. I'd say that Heinlein's protagonists are more grounded in reality and more likely to have flaws but they're definitely a little bit over-competent. They're a bit more along the lines of the renaissance man or polymath model though.

  535. I live in a small city in the south. Rents are just too high. The companies that stick around own the buildings. Everyone else works for the landlords effectively. I don't have a problem with landlords but they are feeding on peoples' dreams and savings and not charging what would give stable long-term businesses.

  536. There are always people ignorant of the value and cost of things. You just end up learning to ignore them. Unfortunately online review sites can make these people a major PITA.

  537. Could be. But could also be that she was looking for a reason and latched onto even the smallest one she could find. Women are funny like that.

  538. I suspect it wasn't malicious. That much bad code would be hard to write and integrate on that sort of timeline. This has probably been technical debt acquired over a decade or more.
    5
  539. Between reliable lasers, photo printing services and full printing services, the real market for inkjets is definitely small and niche. I would say that a rule of thumb is that if you're buying a cheap one, you probably don't need it.

  540. They won't though because then one will fall out and they'll lose it.

  541. I think he was probably surprised because it seems for certain retail environments, that's considered standard operations. It's no wonder there's an opioid epidemic.

  542.  @absalomdraconis  Things have moved on. Wifi integration is now trivial. Back to basics is cool too but more options are available.
    5
  543. I've never had a lot of luck sending resumes though it's undoubtedly getting worse. The best bet is if you can get an in from someone you know. Networking is a real thing. And yes, I hate it too. Just one of those horrible realities. Another tip is it's easier to get a job when you have a job so don't necessarily turn your nose up at jobs you don't really want. It's much easier to advance through lateral moves these days too so don't stop looking for jobs once you get one (unless you're very happy where you are and even then...)

  547. Is Lyx still going? It's a word processing type interface that exports to LaTeX that kinda gives you the rough appearance of what you're going to get (WYSIWYM). Edit: Yes it is.

  548. Reader is a cut down version of the full Acrobat. It's less of a deal now but it's likely Adobe was encouraging redistribution back then. Certainly it was often bundled into other downloads. As well, the centralized repository has long been a thing on Linux so by not allowing redistribution, Adobe would have restricted their reach. Though Adobe has always been a bit weird.

  570.  @elmariachi5133  I feel like some Linux desktops have gone astray. Basically, launch software and get out of my way is what I ask. Instead we get "I wish we was Microsoft". Fortunately, some still aspire to that and are even the default in some distributions.

  579. The way I do things is to keep a relatively small SSD for boot and stuff I'm working on and a large spinning hard-drive for rarely used data. The SSD gets backed up to the spinning hard drive periodically. The spinning hard-drive gets backed up to an external drive. This isn't as good an option for a laptop for obvious reasons.

Presumably anyone who might have objected was concerned about being called some kind of phobe and cancelled. Though to be sure, I was beginning to wonder if the value proposition was still there. And I was someone who bought netflix stock when the kwikster dump happened.

  586. Very common in big cities. Once you get outside of them, a lot less common as there's plenty of space and it's cheaper to throw some tarmac down than build a structure. I'm not sure where you're getting your impressions from. Could be selection bias. Channels like this tend to focus on things like problem sprawl so are more likely to feature that kind of parking lot.

  592.  @gamingforever9121  Yeah, it's a shame. I don't mind being presented with views that I disagree with but this seems lazy and dishonest to the book. It would probably have been fine as a stand-alone movie. Ah well, that's Hollywood.

  604. So much bloat in modern Linux distributions. It makes me sad. Not every package needs its own new language and half a dozen frameworks!
    4
  605.  @CjqNslXUcM That's funny cause the older I get, the more I realize that other people have different wants and needs to me and that my aren't applicable to everyone. Also one of the great things about open source is choice. I don't really care either way. I don't use screensavers and I don't have any urgency for Wayland.
    4
  606.  @CjqNslXUcM Right. I do think this is something of a special case because their aim is to replace an existing solution. That means not being cavalier about the use cases you support IMO. Also, I do support your appreciation for minimalism (I'm currently working on a project which throws away about 98% of the usual Linux userspace) but I think there should be choice and that generally implies flexibility in the underlying systems which are there to serve the user and not the whims of the developer (though Open source does lean towards the latter, again, I would say this is a special case)
    4
  607.  @rossmanngroup  A decent bit narrower though. Not that it matters.
    4
  608. If the cost of replacing windows is to use utility and become windows, then what's the point? We're already a concerningly long way down that path.
    4
  609. I think it's an infrastructure and usage thing. There aren't enough electric car drivers to justify something that big. The networks out there apparently can't afford to keep their current chargers in good condition. Tesla has a vested interest in keeping theirs working as their car business requires a reliable charging network.

  619. Part of the problem is all these boards and foundations getting so much money which makes them a target for subversion (this also happens for regular companies too). I'm not sure what the solution is other than a shift in the zeitgeist which may well be happening.

  620. If creators make it easy for me to support them directly, I'll consider doing so. If they don't, that's on them. Best options are Paypal (where you can send money as a friend for free) or crypto.

  621.  @justsomeguy5470  Merchandise is good if you want it. If you don't, give them money direct (if you can) and buy a mug from dollar tree. I'm not really interested in most YouTubers merch though LTT is doing some interesting stuff with their screwdriver and backpack (Both a bit too pricey for me but not bad in concept).

  627. @Gormen Freeman There are other options. I live in a home in a small city. Walkable but with more grass than I like to mow. Homes with bigger lots were also available. Of course, it's an older city. I do believe people have their own preferences and should be entitled to pursue them but I think they shouldn't be subsidised. Also, I've lived in isolated suburbs and didn't like it. Mixed use is the way forward.

  633.  @ZeranZeran LOL. No. I have a Linux desktop I use for a few things that's exclusively Linux and I put Steam on it so my son could play Terraria and then Portal and Portal 2 and Don't Starve Together. I came up yesterday and he had installed a few more games on his own. He's five. There are some games that don't work (I hear) but it's looking a lot better than it was. He also uses it for Minecraft but that's outside of Steam.

  636.  @PK-tt5kk  By the way, those cell-phone towers are required anyway otherwise you have awful blind spots that make everyone's (who wouldn't be better served by a landline) phone much less useful. Speaking as someone who had a mobile phone when coverage was much more spotty, it was very frustrating. Towers are cheap anyway, relatively speaking.

  655. The accounts for different things are so intertwined now too that it's quite possible that it could have far-reaching repercussions. One badly interpreted youtube comment could get an account banned which with cloud services, hosting, gmail etc, could take down a whole business. I think Amazon is a little bit less broad but there's still plenty that could go wrong (they own Twitch, AWS and probably a bunch of other services I'm not even aware of).

  666.  @n-11ordoskirata70  Just so. What's worse is that the best and perhaps only way to win an argument is to attempt to understand your opponent's position. The "I'm right and you're just wrong now shut up" people only make the divide worse. Anyone who says there's just one obvious answer (other than in a few cases) is just not putting any mental effort into the discussion and is just knee-jerking. You should be able to strip down and take your opponent's argument apart like you're rebuilding a car engine, not just call them names and then block them.

  677. It's a 9.9 if you're running CUPS but I'm not sure that rates a 9.9 overall. I'd think that would be for kernel-level, always vulnerable stuff. Maybe a one-dimensional numeric rating is not an ideal methodology. I was getting ready to just close down all incoming connections just before this was announced (isn't it like 4 days early?), CUPS off by default on Slackware FWIW.

  685.  @SmplySilver Yes. This mode of thought needs to be unlearned by people. Why support multi-windows apps? Because why not, that's why. It's the job of this kind of thing to serve the users and application developers not for them to bow down to arrogant devs. Big red flag and a sign of likely ultimate failure.

  702. I have electric/rechargeable lawn equipment and while I like it in theory (much lighter, no issues starting), the batteries don't last as long as I'd like, are expensive and have lost a bunch of their life over 4 years. Also, 40V is not quite enough for a push mower. I had a wired push mower and didn't like it at all. It was wheeled though. A hover mower might have been OK.

  715.  @christykail3314  I wasn't too happy with WD after their recent secret shingling escapade so I bought some ironwolfs. OK so far. One has had a link error but checked out fine after I pulled it so I think it's just a bad sata cable.
    3
  716. This reminds me of an issue I considered with the RNG in Microsoft SQL server. It's (was) a fairly small number of bits and each random number is generated from the previous one. This leads to the potential scenario of a very small loop of random numbers. I meant to test it out but never found the time. The company I worked for had a routine that they designed to try and make it better but it actually didn't improve things at all (had a big argument about that).

  717. Seriously.

  731.  @jacobyrassilon  The sad thing with the Marvel was that they were very popular (well, less so for some) and they could have at least done a bit more and wrapped things up nicely. Just cancelling them in the way they did was no less disrespectful than network TV has been over the years and was the beginning of the end as far as I was concerned.

  733.  @darkdevilone8613  You're confused. Lots of games more focused on gameplay are doing well. Cuphead, Undertale, heck, Minecraft. What you are talking about is newer developers leaning more heavily on the GPU capabilities as they have advanced where previously they would have had to optimize heavily for the game to even be playable (and honestly, I think that's probably the correct move if a little premature). That's an orthogonal issue.

  735.  @HagarTopeka1  Good point. I think I must have heard that in the context of energy storage but he does mention extending the capacity too.
    3
  736.  @xasmith  For sure. I think we're told to try not to um-and-ah and while that's good advice, in general, people who speak often will do it an appropriate amount and when someone is speaking contemporaneously, it will be an actual part of the communication anyway as previously suggested.

  737. Just to be clear here, this was their definition when they first placed it into their dictionary in 2018. It's still bullshit but you're going to get called out if you say they changed it or that it's new.

  738.  @rossmanngroup  I've said for a while that the model needs to make the financial incentives work properly. The way YouTube does things makes things all out of whack.

  745.  @ThePopo543 A crisp 480p is often perfectly adequate.
    3
  746.  @jeffreyblack666  I kinda see your point and that depends on the wording then. In this video, Adam says that the conveyor is "running in reverse, matching its speed". That doesn't match with what you're saying and doesn't require the plane to be stationary. Planes typically use air speed and ground speed (using a variety of methods) and in no circumstances I am aware of do they measure their speed by the wheel speed nor is that specified in the problem as stated by Adam. Consider that the plane could be supported by blocks of ice or perhaps some other low-friction material. What then? The underlying truth is, I think, that the question needs to be reframed to be more precise in its wording. I suspect even that Adam is probably not restating it exactly as he heard it.

    3
  749.  @dirus3142  I don't mind that Verhoeven would make such a move. I also wouldn't mind that he would satirize the content of the book. That he made a movie supposedly based off the book and using its name but didn't make the effort to read the book or represent the nuances of the story is not good and probably precluded a faithful representation of the book being made (though I doubt Hollywood would do it justice anyway).

  750.  @orangedream267  I've seen it suggested that WWII was a turf war between national socialists and international socialists.
    3
  751.  @Cyricist001  Well, it's just the premise for a sci-fi book so not worth delving into too deeply but the system was set up by military veterans after the collapse of the previous system so I guess the theory is they wouldn't vote for that kind of politician. That's not something I'm going to defend but it's taken as given for the purposes of the book. Also, as said, not being a citizen doesn't carry serious penalties so it's only the civically minded that would apply. Though we have corrupt politicians that have been in the military so I'm sure the cracks would show before too long.

  772.  @glorgau  Important to remember that it's quite easy to become a realtor so it's not like it has to be a calling or anything. Thinking about it, it's something where an online service that facilitates "for sale by owner" could really be disruptive.

  774. It's just a guess but it's possible that this line is at 5V at all times (or at least when it's plugged in), even when the rest of the computer is off. This would make it more susceptible to corrosion, especially with the computer not being on meaning it would be cold and condensation would hang around.

  782. I tried that on a lexan glass I had. It didn't go well. Might not be so bad with the glass backing on this but that's a big risk.

  789. Also worth bearing in mind from Louis' recent videos is that buying a used Tesla means you're closer to that $20k battery replacement fee. That would buy you a very decent new-used car.

  793.  @BrodieRobertson  You can but that's just more friction and who wants to take the chance it stops working? Sooner or later, you have to see which way the wind's blowing(Valve has). (Additional: I mentioned it in another comment but I don't know if you'll see it. Maybe you could do a video on the broken Steam user security model. I would like to see them fix it up. It's the 21st century already).

  803. There's a simple logic to the question. Looking at say 20m and walking at 3mph vs running at 6mph, you can reason this and that. But now take it down to walking at 0.01mph and clearly you're going to get as wet as it's possible to get. So to say running gets you wetter than walking is clearly incorrect in the general and if you're going to move it to be "reasonable" speeds for walking and running, you're going to have to give a reason there's an inflection point.

  816.  @strayblackcatsmeow  I worked for a company that at some point had tried to do some development with RFID with one of the gun manufacturers. It never went anywhere but I did get to see some of the prototype PCBs. I'm not sure what the actual issues with the deal were but I was told that the physical shock from firing was exceptionally hard on the electronics (this was for handguns). These were mechanical fired, not electronic.

Many of the keystone jacks I've bought came with cheap plastic punchdown tools that work just fine for the job when you're doing a one-off like this too.

  825. We were moving office back when LCD panels were fairly new. One of the monitors had permanent finger marks where it had been picked up so we made the moving company pay for it. One of my colleagues kept using that monitor for another three years.

  827. Occam's razor will show that the best option is to apply maximum braking in a straight line, disappating as much energy as heat as quickly as possible (where an accident isn't trivially avoidable). Any weird edge cases will be vanishingly rare and the actual savings in life and property will be so disproportionate, people will wonder how we ever dared get into cars and drive for ourselves. From the legal side of things, manufacturers will be indemnified if their cars behave within spec, the minimum of which will be decided by appropriate government bodies just as things operate currently. Financial responsibility will, presumably, be carried by the driver which will be covered by insurance which should be a lot cheaper since most vehicles will not experience an accident over their lifetime.
    3
  828. Yeah, I was going to say the same. They are usually a lot more compact too.
    3
  829. The Prius is a hybrid that's still primarily a gas vehicle so the size of the battery pack is a bit arbitrary and will typically be smaller than a pure EV vehicle. It was originally not intended to be charged externally at all (though some people found ways to do so). Vehicles like the Volt are designed to rely more heavily on the battery.

  830. Either way, I think it would be incautious to consider it not compromised.

  835. Sportsbikes tend to be about tone, Harleys are about the straight pipes and are really where the "loud pipes saves lives" culture lives (though there is some crossover). Personally, I'm fine with my stock pipe. Though it is an ugly piece of steel, I don't have to look at it while riding.

  836.  @موسى_7  You missed his point. You don't typically ban a class of item just because a small percentage of people misuse them. Otherwise bicycles would be for the chop too.
    3
  837.  @WoodsSooperDooperShop  Properly mufflered motorcycles (as they typically come from the factory) cause no "damage" and you are advocating for their banning. The majority of noise annoyance at my residence is from cars with loud sound systems. I guess we should ban cars too. Your position is asinine and counter to common sense. You are not arguing from a position of reason but apparently biased activism. Fortunately, more rational minds will prevail.

  842. I followed some link to a post in the joerogan sub and made some nothing comment and got a message from some sub I never heard of that they'd banned me because I'd posted there. I reported it for harassment but I'm sure nothing will happen. Reddit is a shitshow.

  850.  N DD  Exactly. And in the moment, you can argue it and get kicked out, then try and take legal redress but you missed what you came for or just go along. Unfortunately, you need to be pre-prepared for this kind of thing with letters and printouts but who would know to do that first time around?

  856. Just about to replace the one on the toilet with a 1/4 turn. Went to do some work recently and it didn't turn off. It was working fine a couple of years ago. When you need to turn the toilet supply off, you often really need to turn the toilet supply off.
    3
  857.  @chagadiel  Yep. It doesn't hold up so well today (and perhaps is a sign that the Terminator franchise should be allowed to rest) but was perfectly fine when the movie was released. Note that many movie makers acted like cellphones and then smartphones didn't exist even long after nearly everyone had them. Even now, they often contrive reasons why they can't be used.

  862.  @ciarasweeney  Bingo. Nothing you said refuted what I said. That strategist potentially could if backed with a bit more evidence on performance but on its own, not so much and sounds a bit like a fluff job title. Elected official, is, of course, a low skilled job, (attempted Trump jab aside). Now, their staffers who get (and keep) them elected, that's another story.

  877. Maybe have a "right to repair" organization that rates devices according to their repairability (availability of parts, accessibility, modularity etc).
    3
  878.  @Zuriki09  Ideally, if the design is right, those elements, or the nodes that support them can be cut out. It should not be a problem to have multiple networks (that's decentralization).
    3
  879.  @Arcidi225  It could be better. Given that you have to put your device so close to the charger, you almost might as well plug it in anyway. Plus, half the time, I've unplugged the charging pad to use the cable for something else so I have to plug in my wireless charger before I can use it anyway.
    3
  880. Definitely a negative but you can get it with a bigger battery and the turbo charging is pretty decent. I'd definitely have paid extra for a removable battery though.
    3
  881. The WWDITS thing is based on vampires hiding away from society and being out of touch. It also reflects a bit on how we all tend to cling to aspects of our past as we age (80s music was the best. Fight me). But importantly for the show, it allows them to use a lot of "fish out of water" humor. It's worth noting too that the show does include a lot of more modern acclimated vampires (Colin Robinson himself being an example).

  888. It's always been a broken business model to me. The people using their service for hosting don't pay for it. The advertisers are the source of money (what isn't coming from 'Alphabet' or VCs) and the connection to anything is all wrong. This leads to all kinds of wrong incentives. The correct model is for the viewers to pay for the content (with various ways to manage that, potentially including free tiers) and for that to pay for the bandwidth and hosting. Whenever I say this, people complain but it's usually those who want something for nothing. Some services out there appear to be going that way (locals for instance, though I think there are still issues with their model) and I think that kind of setup will ultimately prove the most durable.

That they aren't being built any more due to zoning (also not completely true - there does appear to be some light at the end of the tunnel) is important but not directly relevant to the falsehood of that statement. Things are bad enough that there is no need to resort to hyperbole.

  897.  @airborneace  These are not antiques and collectibles though. They're stock for the business. In fact the value is incredibly hard to estimate. If someone comes in and wants 100 replica NASA passes at $10/pop, they're worth $1000. If they don't, they're not. You'd waste huge amounts of money insuring everything there at full potential value.
    3
  898.  @chubbymoth5810  Very much so. I live in an old small city and you can see how it used to work as a community. Unfortunately, all the stores on main street don't really serve the same purpose any more (though there are a couple of older holdouts). Ironically, places like Dollar General are bringing groceries back to being local.

  905.  @KrepsyK  Bingo. In a similar vein, if a one world government of Kant's humans-with-angel-natures could be formed, so could multiple national governments for a similar result. My own position is that self-governance should be the rule and, in my opinion, that would be the ultimate end of Kantian living because no man would seek to rule another. Definitely a big blind-spot on his end.
    3
  906. I was thinking it might be cool to pick a decent quality printer and come up with a community firmware for it. Just have it ignore the cartridge level. I do have some cartridges that reset once they are empty (you just have to remove them from the printer once). So they are available, for some printers at least.

  918. Sadly, the police are often ignorant of the facts of the law (somewhat understandable, there's a lot of it) and many are lazy. This is completely actionable with video evidence but the dude got fobbed off because the cop he called has exactly the same mentality as the guy with the box cutter.

  922. Yeah, There's a lot of things that have a different perspective historically. If you look at an old typewriter, it often won't have a 1 since you would use lower case L instead. Also, ancient languages didn't have a word for blue. Crazy. (I'm a Brit FWIW)

  932. +Andrew Gulak, it was totally uninteresting to me until the M.2. Even then, still too pricey and I agree with elsewhere that if it's high-end, it should have ethernet. Speaking of ethernet, isn't it time we had a next-gen connector for that? Edit: It appears that RJ point 5 might be inbound. Though it still looks a bit clunky to me.

  933. My daughter spilled milk on a 7950 (don't ask how) which appeared to have killed it. I tried stripping down and washing with distilled water and IPA but still no go.

  936.  @EbonyPope  I would agree that a lot of the male vampires are that way but would counter that there's a lot that aren't too. Obviously, recent times is a special case but in the broader scope, it might be interesting to look at how vampires are represented and how that divides down between intended audiences and whether authors and directors are male or female (and other possible filters). I don't think there's a broad-brush that can be used.

  937. I would just point out that it's common in kettley households to use the kettle to preheat water before using it on the stove. They're not just for tea. Though on that subject, things have changed now but it used to be the primary way of drinking coffee in the UK was instant coffee. Thus, truly multi-purpose. One also shouldn't forget things like hot chocolate, instant mashed potatoes and there are a variety of food products in the US where it is suggested to heat on the stove or microwave that work perfectly well with added hot water from the kettle. Since the kettle is typically left out on the counter, it is a very convenient way to get water going without having to dig out pots/pans etc.

There are several decently sized parking lots within a couple of blocks but people just don't want to walk. There is a lot at the back of our store and I've had people ask if they could use the back door rather than walk the one (small) building to the sidewalked road and around to the front.

  954. I managed to be a pilot scheme for wfh for a company in 2015. It worked pretty well but it was only one day a week and I ended up leaving anyway after a while. I like to hope I helped them be prepared for the covid stuff. What I think was pretty good was they gave me a video IP phone as a separate device, not an app on PC. This allowed for not interrupting my on-screen workflow as well as keeping my regular work number. It's also a nice reminder that you're working, not homing

  958.  @tyrannicpuppy  It hardly qualifies as design. I believe originally there were often two bus uh "strips" and you could plug multiple plugs into them. That kinda justifies the parallel design but I think most of us can see why that went away. Perils of being early adopters, I guess but other countries have changed systems successfully. It's probably about time the US did so. They'll never take a foreign design though.

While you'll be able to use Windows without TPM, you'll be unable to log into your bank's website or use many other services so it becomes a defacto requirement anyway.

But even if so, that's no excuse for giving Comcast and friends a monopoly. Another option is to go to a model where you separate the wires and the ISPs.

  999. I added a remote light switch to the living room fan. It operated from allowing a very small amount of current to flow through the lights and was protected by a small thermal fuse. Unfortunately, the switch also had one of these sockets attached to it. My wife would plug the vacuum into it (it was in the ideal place) and too much current would be drawn and the thermal fuse would blow. It was a bit of a pain to replace.

  1007. I have arguments with people about the Life of Pi thing. My arguments is that you shouldn't take on contracts that are structured in a way to put you out of business (barring major unforseen events) and the argument on the other side seems to be "That's just the way it is". The IT world has known about this kind of thing for a long time (clients who keep changing specs or require insane levels of support) and structure their contracts to be able to take that in stride (doubtless there are exceptions but they probably don't stay in business long). To me, it seems insane (or unsane at the least) to play russian roulette with your business based on good behavior from Hollywood types. But what do you do against "that's just the way it's done" if that's your dream? I guess many actresses asked themselves that when Harvey Weinstein closed his office door.

  1021. To me, the interesting thing is when you look at Western movies, they are completely stylized in their own ways. It may not be to the same degree (perhaps) but they use conventions we are used to and which are thus invisible to us. A couple of examples would be that people can handily be knocked unconscious without causing major brain damage and people get shot and no attempt is made to stop the bleeding or save their life in any way, they're just left to bleed out without further thought. Probably many others.

  1030.  @CidVeldoril  Fair comment. And on the other side, if pressure rises from the Linux side, the game devs are going to make it work because they like the money. The anti-cheat stuff might work to prevent players 'hooked' on these games from adopting Linux but on the other side of things, if people are using Linux already, how are you as a studio going to get people to try your game if you're not releasing for their platform. I'm sure Valve have some of their own pressure they can apply too.

  1033. Louis, I'm on your side in this but one question I have is whether Linus' response about the damage to the Mac could have been more as a response to your accusation of nickel and diming. Not so much to convince you to go but more as a defense. I haven't watched this video yet so maybe you address it. This wasn't the impression I got from your previous video but having read some more, it seems like this could be a possible scenario that could maybe soften the view of what Linus wrote a little. Not that I'm accusing you of misrepresenting him, it's just that often in these situations, it's more that someone gets the wrong end of the stick and it gets out of control from there. (I do think that Linus' previous behaviors leans toward your interpretation being more likely correct).

Apparently the prosecution notified the defense because there are protective steps that can be taken in such an "oops" but Jones' lawyer didn't do anything about it (though maybe it went through that same assistant who may have been doing it deliberately or just didn't want to 'fess up or maybe something else).

Other than that, it was fairly meh and wouldn't have been upset in the least not to have gone.

  1099.  @jochenstacker7448 Some of the BMW deal is that other companies upped their game even on the low-end models. My first car was a bottom-of-the-range ford from the 1970s. Door metal on the interior, no glove box (just a shelf) no power steering, no brakes, no stereo, AC not even a merest hint of a consideration. It didn't take much to be higher-end from there. Some of the features that make a car "luxury" these days are a bit risible and fall into the "conspicuous consumption" category IMO.

  1100.  @isodoublet It depends what you're doing but I generally agree. On the other hand, the only thing really base 10 has to recommend it is that it's the number of fingers most humans have which is even less useful in 2023.
    2
  1101.  @thenotoriuosbg7372  The simplicity of moving the point applies in other bases too. The only thing special about ten is that we have ten fingers. It has only two factors, two and five. Twelve has factors of 2, 3, 4 and 6.
    2
  1102. 10 is twelve in base 12 though. I'm not arguing which is possible, just saying that base 12 has advantages. That's why we saw 12 used so often in measuring and money systems before everything went decimal. Being able to trivially divide by three and four and six without infinitely recurring numbers is not nothing.

  1103. Yes. As you say, what it comes down to is that it is somebody else's computers. And even with the best of intentions, if something goes wrong, those people never have as much interest in making your stuff work as you do. I was working with AWS several years back and suddenly we couldn't provision new instances, causing a big disruption to what we were doing and while my bosses and their bosses were on my back, all I could do was tell them I had a support ticket in. Of course, with these big companies these days, they make sure to shutter you off from meaningful communication too. These services have their place but make sure to do a proper assessment of how they could affect your operations. Losing access to all your documents because some AI scanned your google email and false-triggered on something, locking your account could really ruin your week.

People who are anti-vaccine probably oppose mandated but you can oppose mandates without being anti-vaccine. I may do some research to see what other dictionaries have said because there's more than just Merriam Webster out there. It would also be instructive to see their research since it seems there is expected to be more to creating a dictionary than just making shit up.

  1125.  @craigtucker1290  When the government inserts itself, such as when the courts get involved, that's no longer between individuals. Personally, I think the case for slander was fairly strong but the award made was clearly completely political. It's not to make the plaintiff whole or to punish Jones for past actions but to ensure that Jones is precluded from his ability to exercise his rights going forward. Now, I'm no Jones fan but when I see raw power being exercised by the government like that, it makes me nervous.
    2
  1126.  @craigtucker1290  The government is quite plainly there. There is the plaintiff, there is the defendant then there is a judge and a courtroom and a whole enforcement system with officials and men with guns. They are inserted at the request of the plaintiff, sure enough but they're most definitely there. I know the difference between civil and criminal cases but both stem from laws created by the government and are enforced by the same. You might have a point for contract cases where an agreement was made between the parties but that is not the case here.

  1155. Something doesn't add up here. Both in my experience and in what is being described. Firstly (though less relevantly), I can access the UK amazon site using my US account. I used that fact to buy a kindle for my UK friend. So setting up a second account with the same email address wouldn't seem to make sense (albeit I'm not saying it's impossible). Secondly, If you make two accounts with the same email address... When you join a kindle to your Amazon account using the kindle, you use the email and password. So if you have an account with the email address for the UK and an account with the email address for the US (say), how does the kindle know which to use? With that said, I'm not sure how this resolves with buying books from the various sites and buying books from the store on the kindle itself. Let's just say I have questions. Maybe there is geoblocking going on.
    2
  1156. I'll add another point, which is more informational than anything. If you download a book to your kindle and then you change account, the book is still readable on your kindle (the first kindle I had, I bought used and it came with a bunch of books installed - none of which I was interested in reading). So it's possible to utilize books from multiple accounts at the same time. (Please note that none of this is to say that other points aren't valid. There's certainly plenty to call Amazon out for. Also I support non-DRMed local copies of media).

  1202.  @littleshopofrandom685  Agree on the Tesla. Can't argue that the signs aren't there but engine braking is just taking your foot off the accelerator (and then you apply additional mechanical braking as needed). I wonder if they mean what is referred to here as jake brakes. (Edit: I've looked it up and it appears that's the case so it appears we're talking about different things, possibly even a regional variation in terminology. It seems also that the reason they're banned in those areas is because of the noise - which makes sense). FWIW, I thought you were in the UK but I guess the MOT/DOT thing carried over.

  1219. Haven't bought a Canon printer in a long time. I'm liking Brother lasers mostly these days. Though they're all at the scamming.

  1220. There are VR Sculpting tools which can be exported and then sliced. I did a couple but it doesn't really fit my workflow (I do a lot of functional prints). Neat though.

  1231. The "Piracy" thing is just name calling. I don't care. We used to swap cassette tapes full of music or games in the playground. I do throw some money to content creators every now and then, especially if they have a bitcoin address, sometimes Paypal. Superchats, I'd have to have something I really wanted to say cause 30% to Google is bullshit.

  1234.  @jasonreed7522  I will say that the last few public parking lots put in around here appears to have been the local government bailing out their chums who have had land they have been unable to sell.
    2
  1235. Kinda true. But it seems likely the Rust devs told Linus that they'd bring their Rusty goodness and it wouldn't be any extra work for anyone and then they're wanting to insert code into other parts of the project and Linus is supposed to spend time mediating it all. Sometimes, it's easier to let things fail than to try and convince people what they're advocating for is a bad idea. Not that I'd do it that way myself but I also haven't created and managed software that runs on millions, if not billions of devices around the world.

  1239. It's really not worth it to get too nitpicky at films because if you look at it objectively, they're a very stylized thing anyway. You can see this when you watch some forms of foreign cinema. All those things that seem weird and we laugh at? Western movies have them too in their own form. We've just become acclimatized to their presence. There are definitely some things which just go too far though. Probably the biggest one to me is the "blunt force trauma to the head puts you peacefully asleep for a period of time". In actuality, head trauma that severe typically implies brain damage and it could be encouraging actually dangerous behavior.

  1250.  @awesomedavid2012  Don't get too hung up on the semantics. These are just abstract representations of actions occurring on the computer. Get too literal and you're going down a dark and winding path. A more accurate name might be along the lines of "out of band".
    2
  1251.  @CottidaeSEA  I always have the problem that returning error values when you're not explicitly returning error values is overloading functionality. For example, say you're returning the index of a character in a string. Well, if the character is not there, you can return a -1. Well, firstly, that's not the location of a character so your function name is lying (which, if nothing else, requires documentation). Not only that but you're having to use a signed value for something which realistically only demands unsigned which leads to its own issues (typically not major but still...). I agree with you on Java. It's where I had my introduction to exceptions and in my opinion, they did them pretty well.

  1252. Color has problems with B&W photocopiers and thermal printers tho. Microsoft might feel a bit vindicated though. They were trying to push their own version of qr codes with color on Windows phones when QR codes were getting popular.

  1253. I've been meaning to get into meshroom but I didn't have a Nvidia GPU. Finally got one but a series of events have kept me away from being able to do a deep dive on it. Now it's about a year later.

  1254. You could also use two liquids. This might lead to other possibilities. Like if you shook it up, you might be able to confuse someone as to which was which because of the time to settle out.

  1258.  @adamrad2220  Could he actually play the sax? There's a plague of panhandlers at the moment who will "play trombone" along to a backing track. The trick is that the trombone sound is also on the track and the 'player' us just puffing their lips out and moving the slide.

  1259.  @irreverend_  Not that much healthier. You typically need to add oil to get that proper delicious crispiness. Though many oils are fine and not the health issue that has was pushed through the 80s,90s and early 2000s. DYOR.

  1285. All LTTs videos make money so they don't have to be using it for any particular purpose for it to be commercial. If they wanted to treat it as promotional, they should have gone to the developer to make arrangements. However, I don't think there was anything malicious going on here and your points about the commercial requirements not being advertised well enough are well made.
    2
  1286. 14:00 Abysmal take from the commentary dude. "Tie your future prosperity to my risky career change or I'll hate you forever"? Fuck that. Respect the agency of the people around you and be happy for them if your move allows them to improve their position. This is a commentary on this dude as I have no idea the details of the Cooper drama.
    2
  1287.  @matviyk3066  Could be. Though if you're buying a harley (other than the bottom of the line models), there should be something in your price range. I think the truth is, many people just want attention for their conspicuous consumption and loud pipes is a way to do it.

  1288. While I think mandating software support for 10 years is not a good idea, I think companies should have to advertise how long their supports run for and be made to stick with it.

  1293. It's usually more expensive to have two configurations for market than one. And sure, you save on one bulb per side but you then need to have something that duplexes the signals (though that can be handled with software these days).
    2
  1294. Another fun thing is that AT&T won't let you use unapproved phones any more. This sucks as any open source phone is likely to be GSM which really only leaves you with t-mobile in the US currently.
    2
  1295. That's pretty bad. There are ways to easily avoid this. Even Tivo in the early 2000s made sure it wasn't bricked by a failed software update (the trick is to have two - or more - bootable partitions so you always have one 'known good')

  1298. The problem for Qualcomm is that they can't just negotiate a higher flat rate with Apple due to that whole "Reasonable and non-discriminatory" thing. But I think taking a percentage is bullshit too, it's just discriminatory via the back door.

  1299. They also get to enter four teams into the Olympics and their stamps don't have the country name on them.

  1301.  @samuelfellows6923  The full-size one may actually be more efficient due to the insulation. However, between my stove, my convection microwave and air fryer (instant pot), the microwave takes a bit longer to preheat than the stove and the air fryer is very quick. The convection on the stove never really seemed to help much either and died at some point, unmourned.

  1304. I'd suggest the viewer isn't YouTube's customer. YouTube's customers are the content creators (who use YT for storage and broadcasting) and the advertisers (Premium purchasers being a vanishingly small fraction of the equation). As you have suggested, YT's business model is borked and a large part of that is failure to correctly identify the roles of the participants.

  1305. Is it in standby or actually off? There's sometimes a way to put devices in a lower-power state.

  1306. I was hoping that was going to be an ironic title. I couldn't imagine a worse place to start if you aren't starting out with a silver spoon. At least until you're getting to those really small towns like you say. There are a lot of other big cities that will offer you opportunities without having to live in a hamster cage. I think you might have been right 30-40 years ago.
    2
  1307. It's complicated.
    2
  1308. I'm in IT and love technology, including a lot of what is going into cars. But anything touchscreen/LCD or smartphone related is going to age out really quickly and probably be broken over time, requiring expensive replacement down the line. It boggles me that so many cars are boring colors because people are worried about resale value but don't worry what effect half of the dash being kaput is going to have. A lot of cars are going to end up junked too because complicated emission equipment is going to make them too expensive to repair. The car manufacturers like this, of course but it defeats the "green agenda" supposedly behind it.

  1311.  @michaeldemanche4162  Or maybe you get out of the driver's seat and your spouse/friend/whoever takes a spell driving for a while. We used to do a long stop for lunch when driving on vacation but it turned the whole trip from being just long into being annoying and getting to the destination past midnight and making the next day less enjoyable. Not every trip will be that way for people, of course but time not spent enjoying your time off shouldn't be discounted.
    2
  1312.  @josephvanas6352  It can depend. I once did similar when American Airlines stranded me in Louisiana and I was fine at the end but it was all interstate and light traffic. On the flipside, I've done trips of a few hours and been frazzled at the end of it.

  1315. I've been railing about this kind of zoning for a long time. I'm originally from Europe where mixed use is somewhat standard. I ended up choosing to live in a small city where mixed use was still somewhat grandfathered in and it has actually seen something of a renaissance in recent years (covid lockdowns notwithstanding). Interestingly, Dollar General has actually been taking advantage of this gap in the market and bringing groceries and essentials closer to people (albeit with questionable employment practices). I can actually walk and grab some milk in about 1/8 of a mile.

  1323. I've heard a small meteor strike as being what you should be considering. Meteor Crater in Arizona has a diameter of approximately 3/4 of a mile for reference.
    2
  1324.  @Raiver-of-Eridu  Hah. For sure. But the meteor is typically a lot smaller than the crater for what it's worth.
    2
  1325.  @sportscardsandthings  It's really a management issue. Anyone can squeeze in a bit of code to make things work but someone has to make sure code reviews and interface definitions etc are done and documented. All the people Musk was able to fire illustrates that competent architecture was not their priority.
    2
  1326. Early on, one of their claimed advantages was that they knew exactly what people wanted. House of Cards was supposedly created entirely (well, it was drawn from a pre-existing IP but the point stands) based on data mining peoples' preferences.

  1330.  @thomasruwart1722  There's no reason something like the Pi couldn't have analog sensors. It just wasn't one of the design parameters for the SOC. They could easily have thrown a separate ADC on the board too but they left that to expandability.

  1335. Wireless charging is less efficient. Layer that on top of infrastructure not being sufficient currently and you won't see it being a big thing anytime soon.
    2
  1336. I'd suggest it could be more dangerous for the emergency workers. I had to pass a couple of cop cars working some kind of accident and even crawling, it was quite hard to see the people working in the road with red and blue lights burning my retinas from 6ft away.
    2
  1337.  @cosmicinsane516  My understanding with the linear compressors is that there is a thin one-way valve that develops cracks over time (I think there's a teardown on youtube). Mine suffered gradual degradation and even seemed to recover for a bit but eventually was keeping food at dangerous temperatures. It's a wonder we didn't get sick.

  1342. @ Note that as humans, we have already devised a system to have to avoid interacting with URLs directly in the form of QR codes. They're really that bad. Sometimes people will even add cute pictures or decorations just to hide their nature even more. Other considerations: People often get to the websites they want by typing the domain name into a search engine. Also, the address bar is typically no longer simply an address bar but a hodge-podge of address bar, search and history and tab search because URL addresses are just that cumbersome. Bear in mind I've been mulling these things over since the World Wide Web came with a spinning earth in front of a stylized S.
    2
  1343.  @user-uf4lf2bp8t  Yes but when there's a new flavor-of-the-month runtime every year, there's the bloat. I won't be drawn away from my point which is not to advocate for any particular language. The Linux Kernel is C and that's fine. If it should be something else, that's also fine but it should be completely switched over all at once. Having the kernel written in a dozen flavor-of-the-month languages is a recipe for disaster and irrelevance (and yes, there will be something else better and cooler than Rust along anytime)...

  1361. Yep. We had 5 days out a few years ago in the winter. The gas made it livable enough to where we could stay in the house and keep the fridge in good shape by occasionally plugging it into a car inverter.
    2
  1362.  @anonamouse5917  Yes. Alec normally is all about the numbers but I think he's betraying a deep anti-gas bias in the way he just guessed and asserted stuff there. 5 days was because there were a lot of people out and they do each repair in the order of number of people it hurts. We thought we were with the rest of our street but it turns out we're on some weird connection from elsewhere and the damage on that only took our house out.

It's become fashionable to say you shouldn't stay together for the children but I think that's too glib and, in this case, arguably helped contribute to the devastating things that happened to their son and this whole situation that could have ended a lot darker. If it is amicable then even more the case because the situation is not harming the kids. Taking care of your kids is the most important thing most human beings will ever do.

  1365.  @RaptorJesus  You're really rolling the dice on new partners being good people and the stories of the downsides and risks are rife (we're posting in the comments of one such story). I'm not saying it's for every case but I think we've begun to lean into the arena of people justifying their own selfish actions over the needs of the children and the pendulum needs to swing back.
    2
  1366.  @RaptorJesus  "Shouldn't matter"? What does should or shouldn't have to do with it? It *does*. All those other people who are a risk? They'll be there whether the parents are together or not. So it makes it more with more unsupervised access and less inherent interest in the wellbeing of children who are not their own. You live how you want to but I'm going to push back on the idea that broken homes should be presumed to have no negative effects on what should be the most important things in your life. People give up too easy these days and this glib little saying deserves re-examination.

  1367.  @anthonyfournier1731  All those things stem from easy government money. Get the government out and make any loans be normal loans and they'd mostly only be given to people who are going to enter careers that will let them pay them back.

  1368. I think it also reflects a probably lack of hierarchy in the people using the system. A system would be owned by the department and faculty members would probably regard themselves as coequal with regard to access, probably with a large amount of politics thrown in. Think Game of Thrones but with pocket protectors.

  1387. @ To be fair to Linus for a split second, there's circumstantial evidence other creators knew as they dropped Honey but they didn't speak up about it anywhere so there's nothing for sure.

  1401.  @NostraDavid2  Text loses so much metadata though. Passing around objects makes so much sense for the computer. When you need to make it human readable, just make it human readable (which many of the objects can do already). A lot of the time, text-only already encapsulates objects in text with JSON or XML etc. I'm still more *nix than Win but this is very powerful tech and I'd like to see something along those lines .

  1402. The alarm arm sound on my previous car was wired to the horn. I'd cringe every time I locked the doors late at night (my driveway is very close to my neighbor's house). My current car is a later model of the same car and fortunately they must have redesigned it and now use a separate smaller speaker.
    2
  1403.  @TheWatchernator  There will be ways to deal with it. Probably insurance included in the cost of using the self-driving (if that's a service of the company) or the driver of the car (if the self-driving is part of the car). It's still a long way off though but that means there's plenty of time to work these things out.

  1410. Homelessness is a multi-faceted issue so doesn't have one simple answer. Many are only homeless temporarily. The chronically homeless often have mental or other issues and simply giving them a home/regular place to live will not provide a solution for them. Shelters are often just that, a place to shelter. They are not supposed to be a home. Though they should not be that condition and certainly not 4k/month.

  1413. The biggest reason I dislike micro USB is simply that USB-C is the current standard and it's time to switch so we can keep the cables simple. Also, manufacturers please make sure to add the resistors so that you will trigger the charger to 5V if you're a dumb device.

    2
  1426. Big cities like NYC are probably an anachronism. Modern technology means that you don't see the same benefits of having so many people working in the same area. This is why people are fleeing in droves. NYC is now past the point of diminishing returns. Possibly even in a death spiral (though probably won't die completely). Many floors in the WTC were empty even back in 2001.
    2
  1427. I had an odd slightly-difference experience. I'd previously bought a car from a certain type of car dealer and a few years later told him that I was looking a new (used) car and specifically what I was looking for and he said he'd get back to me. Very shortly after I saw he'd put exactly that car up on ebay. I contacted him by email and we did the trade offline but I couldn't understand why he'd want to throw away money like that.
    2
  1428. This actually doesn't bother me too much. I can easily imagine people who wouldn't have much use for one of these so why should they pay for them (because make no mistake, Tesla wouldn't be eating the cost of these if they came with the car). Maybe someone has nowhere to plug in and only uses public chargers. My cheap ass would probably go with a third-party option anyway (that would have no name and catch fire randomly).

  1429. @c c Viruses don't just magically jump across rooms. Time and distance. I'm not arguing one way or another, I'm just saying we don't know which factors are more important than others and can't say with surety that one is safer than the other. You should carefully consider whether you're just trying to rationalize your own behavior as acceptable (a very human thing to do).

  1434.  @BrodieRobertson That's reciprocal though for something like Wayland. If you want application developers to make their applications work on your system, you need to make it attractive to the people who will be using those applications. This whole "You'll eat what you're given" attitude is a big red flag. Besides which, for someone, somewhere, screensavers are a must-have feature. Taking a flippant attitude to peoples' use-cases is no bueno.

I found one that as specific for my TV and that was OK except one of the buttons didn't work properly for some reason and the guy stopped updating it.

It's a shame it doesn't have battery capability on-board though. Personally, I'm just glad we have decent systems with GPIO. We kinda lost that in the PC world when ISA was dropped (and even then, it was a bit of a pain to get to). It's a very interesting time in computers again.

And yes, there are also microcontrollers but it's also kind of nice to be able to do process control, have logs and graphs on a built-in webserver and be able to ssh in if you want to tweak things. There's definitely a niche for these devices.

  1497. Her argument is inconsistent. She refunds if she can't fix but why should she refund if she has put in a bunch of work? The answer is that it's good business. Equally, it's good business for Paypal to issue a full reversal when a refund is done. It does cost them some money to do the refund (and, of course, there are other costs of just running the business to be accounted for) but you just amortize that into the fees you charge for regular completed transactions. The implication, of course, is that not refunding fees is bad business which means it will probably hurt Paypal who have decided to get too greedy.

  1524.  @HaveYouTriedGuillotines  If you're talking about people having the data on their primary devices and their NAS, that's another thing but that's not what people are talking about here when they're saying that RAID is not a backup.
    1
  1525.  @BruceHoult  It's all relative and changes with time but enterprise, which tends on the whole to use RAID more often uses disks from the pricier end of the market. I guess you could argue that disks which were made to be reliable as RAID would be incredibly expensive and therefor even enterprise level RAID drives are still inexpensive by comparison and I could find nothing to disagree with there.

  1557.  @DorianGrayClampitt  Does anybody support the main party in power in Canada? Your analogy falls apart as the situations are quite different. To continue it further, Biden turned out to have crates of soda stashed here and there where all sorts of people, including foreign powers, who shouldn't, could have access to them while Trump had his stashed in a secure location. Further, Trump had a position at the store which gave him considerably more powers over access to those sodas than did Biden who was merely a stock boy at the time. Yes, bad analogy. That's my point. In addition, we're still waiting to hear what the substantiative details of what these documents were about. Possibly we may never hear what Biden had (though if they are lining this up to remove him from office, we may) where Trump has faced non-stop harassment for 6+ years now where the "walls are closing in" but yet nothing meaningful has materialized. Anyway, my bigger point is this "Legal Eagle" chap quite plainly swings obviously hard to the left and any opinion he gives should be viewed as the echo-chamber fodder it is.

  1570. Among other things, Netflix started cancelling popular shows in the stupid belief that new content was what was needed to draw in new subscribers. People will only take getting invested in a show to have it pulled out from under them so many times before they get pissed off. Loyalty works both ways. The sad thing is that in the early days, the belief was that the subscriber model would lead to popular shows continuing to be produced and that seemed to be playing out. Then Netflix lost their way.

I was actually fairly disappointed when I went looking for duplex outlets with switches a while back and couldn't find them. I think you'll be surprised at how much stuff doesn't come with switches if you look. Especially anything that is powered by a wall-wart which will still draw power when the item is off (if it even has an off). You can always unplug but now you have something which has to be put away (or have something done with it or be left untidily on the floor).

  1576. Comparing to cartridge games in 1985 is a bad comparison because of the hardware costs. Those of us buying games on more comparable cheap media (cassettes, disks) would often pay 5-10 for a game and sometimes less for budget titles. Development costs are definitely higher though. Not to mention you could swap games with your friends to extend the value. And the market was smaller. Word is Rockstar has gone woke anyway so I'll be holding off on this one whatever.

It's one of the reasons masked superheroes like Spiderman are popular. People can mentally overlay themselves over the character. Also why game protagonists with no voice were a thing for a while.

  1601.  @leopheard  Glad to see you cite the law. Especially given someone upthread seemingly making up rules out of whole cloth (20mph is way too fast to be moving among pedestrians anyway - even at 10mph the energy involved in a collision is an order of magnitude more). Judges are well known to make stuff up, especially in the UK where it seems like a good number of them are probably half-senile. Given the absence of any clear markings, it seems likely this is the case though a look on Google street view might be worthwhile.

List positives, negatives and deal-killers and things that affect price. Then go back and decide if one of your choices fits your criteria or whether you need to keep looking. This will improve your ability to bargain even if you don't like doing it. You say you have until 2023. I wouldn't stop looking because you'll lose momentum but use the time to give yourself the chance to find the place that really suits your needs, professionally and financially.

  1611. I think grabbing the cylinder that way should stop the cylinder revolving and another round going into battery (or whatever the revolver equivalent is). Could be painful if it goes wrong but along those lines, I'll also point out that fingers are not hot dogs.
    1
  1612.  @BrandonHerrera  Physical test shows gripping the cylinder and the frame together prevents the cylinder rotating and presenting the next round to the barrel and even the trigger from moving (double action). Mechanisms differ obviously but it's hard to see how it wouldn't apply to all (if the hammer is down after being fired, it is down on a spent cartridge on a revolver). Note that it didn't take a particularly firm grip either. Again, not saying this is wise or reliable, just that I could see where it came from. I admit, I may be missing something. My knowledge is decent but not exhaustive.

  1616. Answer is at 1:30. Buy a tabletop fryer. You get your temperature controlability and stability. Fish and chips? Fry the fish first and keep warm in an oven set low. Chips (fries)? A bit of a PITA but thems the breaks and it's just two batches (four fries) for a decent amount. I just throw old oil out in the yard. Something's going to be able to digest it. A fryer is not a specialized piece of equipment any more than an oven is. If you only fry once a year, you wouldn't want one but otherwise, a lot of foods cook well fried. They don't get yucky that quickly and most of the parts can usually be put in the dishwasher if that's what you look for (I once had one based around a glass bowl that was great but they stopped making it, sadly).

  1618.  @andyroid5028  I actually think the transponder thing is great. What is not great is having to go through the dealer and get OEM keys if you need another one. They should be required to allow aftermarket keys and make it easy to add them to the car or do the programming for free. I think the latter is blocking the former since you know the Chinese would be churning out compatible blanks by the million if they were easy to add to our cars.

  1619.  @randylahey8207  The problem is, there's no penalty for making bad law.

  1620. +therealmikeshea The case thing also nullifies all that slim, sleek design stuff too. I have an S5 still that I have carried for a few years now with no case and it's still doing great.

There's a bubble in the top left of the screen (apparently common) the crappy silver stiff is peeling and the charger door broke last week but otherwise, it's a fine phone. As someone above said, I wish they'd just upgrade it and do a re-release.

  1667. If that's the case though, the ideal thing would be to contact the owners to correct the issue (or just deny any claim when it's made if you're evil) so you can keep receiving those premiums. This is clearly being used as an excuse to get out of contracts that the insurance companies no longer want to cover.

  1668. You could reserve land for exclusive public transport use and use flexible public transport like taxis and buses. Except then the taxis and bus companies would lobby against development of the other transport when the time came.

  1669.  @michaelzizzo6726  It's partly due also to the move away from stocks paying dividends. The only way to make money through non-dividend stocks is company growth. Unfortunately, the way taxes are structured discourages dividends in favor of growth.

  1692. Just an anecdote. I got a fancy business scanner given to me which is not working. I did a little diagnosing and tracked it down to a corrupted flash memory. If I could get a copy of the memory, I could restore this device easily, even if I also had to replace the chip (which I'm thinking I probably don't). I tried contacting Epson. I wasn't expecting to be able to get the flash but I was willing to pay for a replacement board which I think is the minimum a company selling business oriented products should be willing to do. No luck. They want me to send it to an Epson service center. I'm not willing to put that much into it. Ridiculous. It's a DS-760 in case someone can help me out by chance.

  1696. Man, I've got into it with people about that car thing a couple of times over the years. My contention is that a solid wall is like a (unbreakable) mirror so two vehicles closing at X each is like one car hitting a wall at X. You just can't talk people to the truth. Same with the Monty Hall problem. This also plays into the trying to break apart a two-hemisphered vacuum sphere with two teams of horses. The two teams can't pull any harder than one team pulling against a fixed object.

  1707. Quite happy with my Moto G7. Headphone jack and SD card. No removable battery, alas but the fast charging makes that a little better. By no means a premium phone but does everything I need and was easily rooted. Looks like they're sticking with the formula for newer models too.

  1712.  @KISSMYACE3203  Yes and there's the chance that it could be some big damage they end up liable for in the future. On the other hand, it would have to be pretty severe to be more than a drop in the bucket for government budgets.

  1716. I still rate the 80s higher but the 90s definitely had some bangers and was a key time in my life a lot of these songs were the background to. Also just to make a quick call-out to Todd in the Shadow's channel where he covers a lot of one-hit-wonders in a decent amount of depth.

  1719. To be fair, I read a lot of older sci-fi and they often get future context horribly wrong. Often that's just the technology because they just didn't see what the possibilities are and sometimes that's social context too. Though things could revert to a more male dominated culture (particularly as mankind moves throughout the planets and especially in a more rugged culture like that of the Fremen), this wasn't really jarring and could have been a lot worse.

  1720.  @justincase9471  Microsoft have always leaned into the crud somewhat. Their focus has always been on the $ rather than the customer experience and it definitely shows. And in some ways, it was a mistake to merge the home-customer win9x experience with the professional NT line because it tainted it badly. Linux started out lean & mean with issues but unfortunately, having cycles to spare and new community members graduating from a Windows world has added a lot of bloat even as many of those issues have been dealt with.

  1721.  @BrodieRobertson  I find the cable is a hassle sometimes as I often want the keyboard out of the way to use the desk for other issues. I still prefer wired. I also like the MS Natural keyboards. I'm actually intending to add a USB-C port so I can disconnect they keyboard at the keyboard end of the cable. I may make a video on it.

  1722.  @rogo7330 "Logitech Advanced 2.4 GHz is integrated into all compatible devices, and provides 128-bit AES encryption between keyboard and receiver". Brodie didn't mention it as he said they 'just work' but the devices need to be paired with the receiver (they come paired from the factory) and it's possible to move devices between receivers. I think a receiver can have something like 4 devices associated to it (last I checked).

  1730. This is Linux. If you want an rm that will hold your hand, you can certainly have it and if you want one that will nuke your system in a heartbeat, you can have that too. Personally, I like a lot of the stuff that has come more recently. Who knows that mv didn't used to work between partitions, for example? Color ls is a nice have. Vim > vi. Choice is a good thing.

  1754. Command shell scripting was awful which wasn't so much its fault as it was from shoe-horning features into something that wasn't really designed for it. I though powershell was pretty cool and much more advanced but like you say, the muscle memory never develops and the syntax is a bit weird and unintuitive. There's other scripting languages out there that are much more established too and I stick with one or two of those mostly (and everyone has their favorite).

  1758. Pavements are for pedestrians. It's clearly stated in the highway code and it's a matter of common sense that pedestrians and wheeled vehicles don't mix (or we wouldn't need cycle paths). The walking lady was perfectly within her rights to complain about it and the lady riding the bike was unable to control her vehicle through circumstances of her own making. Tragic but the pedestrian did nothing wrong and as she made no overt action to harm the cyclist, no blame accrues.

  1768. The main issue I had with Falling Down is that it was presented in the trailers as a comedy and I sat down to watch it in a comedy frame of mind and it heavily disappointed. I'll have to give it another watch sometime but don't feel too compelled to do so.

That's possibly what you meant when you mentioned Franklin anyway. If you get a chance, take Erica for a trip on the Natchez Trace parkway. If you catch it right, the leaves look amazing when they're changing color.

  1782.  @MAKER_GURU  Fair point. I rarely do. I do need to actually try it out. AT&T started requiring whitelisted phones then Verizon bought out my carrier and messed up their website so I kinda got caught in limbo with it. Still glad I bought it as a show of report but I really do need to be able to report the function.
    1
  1783.  @MAKER_GURU  There are multiple distributions so I think one should work OK. My carrier's website is back to working so I'll probably try porting my number to t-mobile. In theory, Verizon works too but I have a Moto G7 that I'd like to be able to swap into to (though maybe that works too... Verizon used to be a lot different).

  1794. I think the dude misspoke but from the context, it seems to me that reading it as him meaning it was actually the 'last' release of windows was going out on a limb. At the least, clarification should have been requested. With that said, it seems that I recall there was more info about MS moving to a rolling-release model. Unless it was all just castles in the sky built off of this statement.

  1796. I've been wondering if you cold make a not-quite-as-good freeze dry machine by putting a vacuum chamber in a chest freezer. You'd have to drill a hole for the vacuum line, of course. The main deal is that I think these machines get down colder than a chest freezer so the only question is whether chest freezers get cold enough or not. I guess I should dig out a water phase diagram.

  1798. I do a fair bit of 3d printing also but because I'm in the US and make a fair few functional prints, a lot of my openscad scripts start with in2mm=25.4; It should be noted that stl files are actually dimensionless though. Treating them as mm is just a convention that has arisen.

So you want to eat my time and bandwidth and the content producer gets fractions of a penny (if they're not demonetized for not being politically incorrect). Conversely, an ad-free YouTube should be a lot cheaper than YouTube Premium (and at that, Google takes a greedy share of the revenue).

  1807.  @CidVeldoril  Definitely I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just saying there's competing pressures going on. I can't say which will win out but it makes it more of a battle. It's worth bearing in mind that Valve sees steam on Linux as essential to its continued existence.

  1816. The government is printing a huge amount of money (which comes from the wealth of the populus) and is lending it out. This ends up becoming investments in businesses which rent huge expensive places (pushing prices up) and quite often fail. They are using your own wealth to make it more expensive for you to succeed.

  1823. I managed to get a pilot wfh deal going with my company back in 2016. As a software developer, it worked really well. No having to "Come down" from the commute in the morning and no turning up late because I had to get up unnaturally early for me to get in at the expected time. Only one day a week though and eventually the rest of the week's commute was still to much so I moved on.

(Though there's one company in particular wants to keep things a moving target there). Unfortunately, Wayland seems to regard some features as unnecessary so things would fall to lowest common denominator. I don't do much application programming but when I did code raw X, it wasn't the most fun experience. (though it was fun for the experience)

  1845. While I generally agree with the sentiment of this video, the argument as presented comes across as intellectually dishonest and one-sided and therefor agenda driven.

People who live far from routes that make sense to support with larger, heavier vehicles would probably be better served by taxi if owning/using a car isn't feasible. Plus there is the inconvenience factor for other users if they have to go 15 minutes out of the way to pick people up.

  1860. Yeah, the Windows internal separation is probably nice from an engineering standpoint but for the purpose of this discussion, it is not really relevant. Most of the interesting stuff is happening above that division.and that is where Windows lacks the separation that makes the difference. This is how come we have the amazingly successful Android which rapidly took over a market Microsoft chased for decades and how come people are working on alternatives to X11 (though I confess I'm an X11 fan) without any major issues. I think the biggest elephant in the room is that Microsoft wants the mobile market but has no idea how to reconcile that with their desktop offering. Thus Windows 10 is a horrible hodge-podge of both ideas, satisfying neither. They failed in the mobile market because their OS offering was not mobile-centric enough. Now they've shuffled in a bunch of stuff and it's still not mobile centric enough but now it's also not desktop-centric enough on the desktop. It needs a whole separate interface for both but the architecture and the culture at Microsoft doesn't really allow that.

The peer to peer nature is the key and that's what allows competing alternative services to arise when the popular ones go bad. Imagine if it was AOL or Prodigy. It would be their platform or nothing.

Well, they didn't have many cars and that'll keep people from coming in. There's something to be said to keeping a decent level of inventory. OTOH, the one used dealer that used to get the cars I liked just sold all hist stock to bigger hungry dealers in 2020 for big bucks and got out of the business. (I hope he comes back) With that said, 35k is a bit egregious.

  1872. The year was 1982. Computers were really just starting to seriously enter the public sphere. I said to one of my teachers that computers were going to be the way we all learned in the future. They told me there would always need to be teachers. Coming up on 40 years and I still think I was right. It's just a matter of time and getting invested parties out of the way. Teachers are such a mixed bag. Why wouldn't we want to make the same quality of teaching available to everyone? (Tailored to learning needs, of course. Something again easier to do with computers than humans).

  1928. What was interesting to me is that it talked about his 'unique' points. I.e. if he said 19 was from a lab and if someone else said it was from a lab and it was from a lab, that doesn't count. If that was from a human, I'd say it was disingenuous. From an AI, I don't know what that would be.

  1955. If you removed that component from the computer, you might actually be in trouble since you then took it from a working condition to a non-working one. When I take my car in for work and it's clear it will probably need some, they'll typically ask me to agree to any work up to a certain amount (and within the scope of the work requested) without requiring approval since, as for your example, it's often easier and cheaper to be able to do work during the investigative phase. The Tesla situation is a little different to that in key ways but I'd say it's similar enough that it's a douche move on their part. Somehow I ended up with a Kindle with the ads disabled even though I paid for ad supported. Probably they just didn't notice but it's never been "fixed" but it has made me consider going for that option on my next one.

  1964. When I met my wife before we got married, I told her that although I wasn't currently riding (financial reasons), I would be getting a motorcycle again. It took a while but I've been riding again for 12 years now. Make sure you set expectations and more importantly, make sure those expectations are received and understood. She was onboard with guns from the get-go though 👍

  1965. Viral load could be important though. Even if virus from breathing is in the air, it may not be enough to pass an infection. Note that I'm not saying that the masks and barriers are worth doing, just that this seems an incomplete analysis.

  1966. They make more money but I find more and more that the bump in the bottom line when it comes to the bill makes me want to go out to eat less and less. 10% was OK but today's standard of 20% is egregious. Still, there's a worker shortage right now so I guess nothing's going to change.

  1972.  @holben27  It's so cheap that it's often burned because the cost of transporting it isn't worth it. Some places are now using the gas to generate electricity and mining Bitcoin.

  1973.  @fred_derf  Yes. Typically one puts the brakes on and runs the engine up to make sure things are all functioning correctly. Though there may be some planes where the engines can overcome the brakes, I have no experience with any.
    1
  1974.  @fred_derf  It wouldn't surprise me. But there are also some powerful planes out there.
    1
  1975.  @jeffreyblack666  So, in fact, neither answer is correct. The correct answer is that the statement provides insufficient information. This goes doubly so for the plane which has two standard methods for measuring the speed.
    1
  1976.  @fred_derf  True. I actually meant to say that it has two speeds that can be measured, airspeed and groundspeed. Though there is technically rate of ascent/descent too. (I'm not counting things like rate of turn as speed though).
    1
  1977.  @fred_derf  Ground speed can be important for ETA. It's still useful but in different circumstances. You might be looking for a landmark, have someone meet you at your destination or make sure you're going to be within a safe margin of error on your filed flight plan (they get upset if you don't turn up on time). Someone who doesn't care about their groundspeed is likely to find themselves lost. Of course, with GPS, it's moot anyway but then groundspeed is also trivially observed. Anyway, the point isn't how useful it is, just that it's a thing.
    1
  1978.  @jeffreyblack666  Without wanting to flog this to death, one possible interpretation is indicated speed (since what else are you going to judge against?) so the wording is critical.

  1980.  @alqualonde2998  Current prices are not really outlandish at all. I can't remember what I was paying for satellite back in the day but it was probably more. I would expect prices to come down too.
    1
  1981.  @alqualonde2998  Yes, that's definitely a good price. Mine costs about 8x that for a similar connection. Some price difference is justified by different circumstances but the vast majority is not. Still, those high prices do make Musk's effort more into viable territory. Not that it's necessarily there.

  1984. It's not really technically cheaper. Price per sq ft is important but total price is the clincher and will make your profit or loss. $50/sq ft would not be good if you were only using half the space. I suspect you have good use for all the space though so should not be an issue.

  1987. We get a president that's actually good for the economy instead of the shambling corpse from before and the richest people, who are primarily invested in the economy have their wealth increased? Color me shocked. What a rube. We got lucky the DNC shanked this guy in the back.

  1988.  @scarlet_phonavis6734  I'm betting the people who are saying their tv doesn't show ads don't recoggnise the ads as ads. Mine is corrently showing ads for espn, nbc, tubi and max shows on the homescreen. I'll allow that there may be some TVs out there that don't and I'd like to know those brands.

  1992. Companies, especially those who have (or at least start out with) motivations that are not, let's say, establishment friendly, really need to take great care to guard against being subverted. I think a lot of this stuff is not organic.

  1993. Harley Quinn is a sidekick character. They are always going to be harder to promote to center stage, especially in a compressed format like a movie. (Though a Joker-like movie for her could be interesting given her back story). The whole point is that she is pretty much defined by her presence around The Joker, even as much as she's generated her own following. There are many other female characters they could have led with if they actually had an eye for a story.

  1997.  @whuzzzup  What @Segphalt said plus it's very likely standards were not what they are now when the building was built. As long as the floor is "flat enough" why worry too much (in those days)? Plus you might want to somewhat conform to the lay of the land so you don't have big steps at the front and back and you may need to conform to other buildings that are already there. We have a store with a 4" ramp halfway down and it's not a big deal. I've been in buildings in the UK where you can feel the slope under your feet change as you walk along. They call that quaint and/or rustic :)

  2012. I upgraded the hardware in my desktop in the last couple of weeks and... no drivers for the motherboard except for Windows 10. Not happy about that. I used to use Linux on the desktop and have been using it continuously on the server so I caved to 10 for now but will be dual booting Linux as I move my workflow over. (Slackware represent FWIW. Though there are many fine distributions for many types of user).

  2025. google's AI invented a completely new logic gate for me complete with nonsense truth table when I asked it about not-xor. I believe it's actually actively dangerous and it's probably going to cause someone's death eventually (if it hasn't already).

  2032. I have one. It actually cuts in below 40 where the heat-pump efficiency drops off. Well, the thermostat gets an estimate of the temperature from the web but there's a module you can put in the unit itself that would get the actual temperature. I did a comparison and the gas raises the temperature of the air by about twice what the heat pump does but the heat pump does fine in regular use.
    1
  2033.  @MrNeptunebob  This one does pretty OK. No cold air from the vents. It does make weird noises sometimes though. I don't think it's changing modes as it mostly seems to happen when it's just the heat pump range.

  2055.  @teraxiel  I agree with your first paragraph (I realise I wasn't clear about which comment): "The problem with your reasoning is that it could be applied to dozens if not hundreds of "little" extras that one thinks should be required for a home. Ultimately all these little extras can add up to tens of thousands of dollars." Governments should not be making these kind of decisions for its citizens.

Now we have Rings of Power :(

  2058.  @NESLO-e8c  There's a difference between adapting a book so it works on the screen (and a TV series should be much less difficult than a movie) and thinking you can 'elevate' the work of a beloved author (which typically more resembles a dog marking its territory).

  2059. $40/hr might be a reasonable wage depending on many circumstances but it's important to realize an employee costs a company much more than that when everything's considered (workspace, elecricity, heating, insurances, healthcare, accounting, taxes and so on) and the self employed have to factor that in. One company I worked for flat out told me they billed five times my salary for work I did. It's easy to underestimate what you should reasonably charge when you go it alone.

  2061. I used one piece of software (I won't mention it because they decided to be aholes about licensing) but they did something I thought was smart and that was put the bug/issue reporting in the software itself. When you went to report a problem, it would tell you if the software was out of date or give you a good guess at some of the most common issues (which were often not problems with the software itself). It seems like something like that could work here where the software could tell you you were running an unsupported configuration and maybe refer you to the distribution's bug reporting (and also tell you if your version was way old).

You can split a message into a number of parts and have it so that the code can be recovered when you only have at least (and not less than) a certain fraction of the parts. For instance, you can have a private key, divide it into three parts and require at least two of the parts be available to recover it. And it can get more complex than that too.

  2092.  @piercebishop4052  With efficient bearings, not much energy would be needed to keep things going. Two years would seem easily achievable given the "executive toys" I've had.
    1
  2093. For me, the most obvious answer is batteries in the three battery-sized boxes around the rim. As the boxes pass the magnets, they power a small impulse to coils and add a little bit of impulse to counter the energy lost per 1/3 rotation. These circuits are low power and well known and used in many executive toys and Foucalt pendulum demos. I believe Big Clive has a video on how they work. HOWEVER. There there are decoys which are equally feasible (if a bit over-complex) so who knows? They do say the best way to figure out a magic trick is not to ask how the magician did it but how you would do it. And that's how I'd do it.

    1

  2113.  @janisir4529  Sure. But planning won't give you extra hours. Your excursion day basically ends at 4 and more realistically 3-330. Lots of interesting stuff happens after that on land. Not that I'm saying anyone is wrong for liking cruises but that's a significant negative in my book.

  2115. Wait, wait... Can we revisit this tidal forces deforming the earth by up to 500ft? That's insane. The sea is much more conforming to tidal forces.

  2120. Ah, demolish the old houses to build new ones and use more energy and generate more CO2 than would ever be saved from the improvements. It's the green way! You're right though, lots of houses being bought to be torn down and have two or three (or more) built on the land.
    1
  2121.  @Croz89  Case by case but typically it makes sense to get the lifetime out of a home, possibly with some efficiency upgrades. It's not like there's not a call for new housing anyway without having to demolish old. Building new is very energy and emission intensive.
    1
  2122.  @Croz89  Most of the post-war housing stuff will be built to standard that can be upgraded though. My parents' house was such and was upped with cavity wall insulation, loft insulation and double glazing, for example. I understand the prefabs were already pretty good, being built from solid concrete. But by all means, run the numbers. I believe you'll find it less enticing than you'd think.
    1
  2123.  @Croz89  If you mess up most things, there are bad outcomes. That's not a reason not to do it. Just do it right. Yes, it's not going to be as good as new construction but that's not the measure. The measure is how it compares with all the resources and emissions of demo and construction. FWIW, I live in an even older house now with even worse insulation than my parents. Heat pump works fine. Lower bills would be nice. They'd have to be a damn sight lower to be worth a 200k rebuild though.
    1
  2124.  @Croz89  You'll find a few, I'll grant you but what you'll mostly do is end up subsidizing the construction industry, much like cash for clunkers did for the motor industry.
    1
  2125.  @Croz89  I'll just add that I don't think the cavity wall insulation was the biggest win anyway. Double glazing the windows and insulating the loft space were probably the biggest gains. Two layers of brick and an air gap are not that bad. I'm not sure they're building the inner walls with brick anymore in the UK.

  2131. Here's the thing though. Most of these people are guilty of state level crimes. The states are not doing their job, true enough. These people are here illegally and ice can not do anything about those crimes (unless they cross into federal crimes) but they can deporting. Attempting to reenter the country after being deported is a federal crime so then the federal government can do something about it in the way of prosecution. So there is a deterrent to coming back (albeit that many may choose to try anyway). That's my understanding anyway.

  2189.  @craigtucker1290  The judge is not a legal representative but is an agent of the government as are all the other sundry government employees present. Look, my issue was you said the government was not present. That is an attempt to make an end-run around any other arguments that could be made about bias and other malfeasance. That's disingenuous. The government is there (as your quote attests) and that's enough to open the door to further questions. I'm not interested in those arguments here, I just dislike dishonest arguing. But go ahead, make some more stuff up. You haven't called me a flat-earther yet.

  2190.  @craigtucker1290  Executive, Legislature, Judicial. I said the government is there, you've said the government is there. The government is there. You know I'm just doing this for fun now, right? Try this for a mental (if you're capable) exercise. Take the government completely out of the equation and tell me what happens. No court, no judge no enforcement... You're trying to play the typical language games if you're saying the government is only involved if there's a prosecutor present. The courts are a constitutionally defined part of the government. If this was going through independent arbitration, you'd have a point but that looks very different.

  2236. The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles. But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.

Otherwise, without context, it can often be difficult to know the correct answer, even for an experienced user and people will pick the option which would appear to allow them to proceed.

  2251.  @imzesok For sure. I've had a few bad experiences with dependencies with apt over the years. I think often the dependencies are specified more strictly than required. I actually prefer Slackware. You have to do a little more work resolving dependencies but things tend to get less weird and you're less likely to leave your system in an unusable state.
    1
  2252.  @imzesok I find the installation 'straightforward'. It only has minimal dependency checking so can be a little more work but you don't tend to end up in weird states of with adding xpm support to imagemajick installing a whole X graphical system (which happened to me once on a headless server). If you want the latest packages, compiling from scratch tends to be pretty painless too, even if someone hasn't set up a slackpackage script.

It works well as an 'oven' too though some adjustment over regular oven usage is required (I usually drop temp and time by about 20%)

  2262. The interesting thing with chemical batteries is they have a voltage related to the chemical reaction which is a constant. So how does the voltage drop? The 'internal resistance' increases and you are effectively operating a voltage divider. This is why battery testers need to have a dummy load. Multimeters, especially old ones kind-of come with some load anyway but with semiconductor based multimeters, that's typically very high and may not be enough to give anything like a useful result.

  2264.  @seraphina985  The problem with 'V=IR' is always true is that this is only the case if R can be considered dependent on many other factors such as temperature, possibly time and maybe even V or I themselves. Even in the case of electrocution, for instance, the resistance of the subject actually drops the longer the current is passing.

  2266.  @ChallengeTheNarrative  It's simply the chemistry. Different chemical reactions provide electrons at different PDs. It's pretty much just a coincidence* that NiCADs and NiMH share ~1.2V and alkaline and lead acid are at 1.5V. Meanwhile LiPos are typically around 4.2V and will use fancy electronics to match other requirements where needed.
    1
  2267.  @Curt_Sampson  The problem is, if you're considering it at a single point in time, the equation trivially reduces to that it is possible to divide V by I and you can't necessarily infer anything useful from that. By recognizing a class of components that we consider linear, it becomes much more useful.
    1
  2268.  @Curt_Sampson  But I=V/R(V) isn't saying anything. And with the LED, you'll be using Ohms law for the resistor (which has a consant-enough resistance) but for the LED, you'll be looking at the V/I curve or be picking some 'default' value. That's not using Ohm's law.

They already have to have a clear lens for the reversing light anyway. On that subject, I believe Chevy has recently taken to turning on the reversing lights for a period when the vehicle is exited and doors are locked. Everyone is used to this meaning the vehicle is about to reverse so it causes all sorts of fun in parking lots. Perhaps Chevy designers are just learning impaired.

What seems to happen with a lot of this stuff is that they may even start out with good intentions and offer perpetual/lifetime licenses then they end up having to pay for the development of patches and upgrades but there's now not much revenue coming in, particularly as the company may be growing. This is unfortunate but I do know the answer is not to screw over your existing customers. They made a financial decision based on your promises and changing it after the fact is an asshole move and if it isn't illegal, it should be. Then you get companies like Playon which have done it twice, after promising not to do it again after the first time.

So I'm picturing a round metal anvil with concentric circles for grip for the conductive part with the metal piece sitting in a plastic platform which is connected to the plastic clip with a slightly flexible ball-and-socket joint to allow for unevenness. The top plastic part of the clip would have concentric circles which interface with the bottom metal platform to enhance the grip (possibly rubber for the same reason). Make the clip out of something like glass-reinforced nylon.

  2420.  @ryanr8364  I ran tapes for a bit but 4GB soon became too limiting. The solution I landed on was USB spinning disks. 4-8TB or more is pretty cheap. It lacks the elegance of tape but for home backup, it's decently adequate. I'd definitely watch the DVDs in any case. I recently went on a purge of my physical media and was backing up anything I wanted to keep. I hit a lot of bitrot. Fortunately I didn't lose anything precious but I encourage anyone I can to revisit and re-archive their homemade media as soon as possible.

Also, as mentioned elsewhere, they say they don't use it for advertising which doesn't mean that they aren't using it for, e.g. AI training. Not that I'm claiming that they are looking at it but, as Lous Rossmann says, "the cloud" is just a different way to say "other peoples' computers". Act accordingly.

Monitor energy requirements are definitely less, thankfully but PC power requirements seem to be ever increasing, especially when it comes to PCs used for gaming. I bet the same is true for gaming consoles.

  2476. My understanding is that the insurance companies are basically protecting themselves from wide-scale events that could cost them excessively. It's one thing to pay out when someone drives their car into the front of the store, totally another when hundreds or thousands of stores are affected at the same time like a flood or this virus. Now, that doesn't make it not slimey and definitely such things should be made clear up-front and yes, insurance companies do try and back their way out of too many valid claims but it's worth considering why those exceptions are there. If you or I were to start an insurance company, we'd probably find it necessary to have the same exceptions too because you can't really promise something you're not going to be able to fulfill.

Not to mention the whole Windows configuration peculiarities. Is the setting you want in settings or control panel or both (sometimes each being slightly different from the other)? You overlook the oddities of Windows because you're used to them.

I do have an inkjet which I bought for photographs but I use it less than I thought I would and it's always a hassle to get it printing properly when I do use it (which may be partly because the laser is my workhorse to be partially fair). I've been thinking of a dye sublimation printer which should have some of the benefits of the laser with the quality of the inkjet but that doesn't print the large format I bought the inkjet for. If only inkjets had a proper shut-down mode that would keep the nozzles fresh. Is this really such a hard engineering problem?

  2539.  @vylbird8014  There's actually a good reason to do positive on the outside of barrel connectors. The disconnect mechanism on barrel sockets is typically on the outer sleeve. If you have a dual battery/external power device, you would typically want to disconnect/switch the positive and keep common ground. Dave from EEVBlog went into it on one of his videos. We do seem to have settled on center positive as a semi-standard in current times though.

I'll also say that if you're going to have kids, have them as early as you possibly can because it starts getting harder once your support structure starts disappearing.

It's pretty terribly that these can't be downloaded as they are set up with keys that mean they will only be able to be installed on the hardware they are intended for. Though it should be noted that often the images can only be created once. So worth considering imaging the HD first.

  2577. When you say "most people walking or cycling miss their commutes", you seem to be including both green areas where when you say "almost no one who drives did", you seem to be only looking at the dark green area. Have to compare apples to apples. (Though in that respect, the commutes likely differed in other aspects also. If I had to walk or ride my old commute of 40 miles, I suspect I wouldn't miss it much either.) Though my commute could be pretty nice when the weather was nice in a convertible or riding a motorcycle. Not that it matters that much. All commuting is pretty much unproductive time unless you get very lucky.

  2641. I don't see why being a tomboy would count against you being female though. I thought we were getting past all that but now you can't be a woman who happens to like doing traditionally male activities, you have to be some new thing with weird pronouns. The important thing is to be happy in yourself and gender should not be your whole identity anyway. It's not like I spend every waking moment thinking "I'm a man. I'm a man. I'm a man". When it comes to when it matters, I'm a man and all other times, I'm just a person doing person things. Which is not to discount those who are genuinely non-binary or binary trans-genders. I just think that too much is getting loaded into the whole gender thing.

So in theory, this is a bit worse for Apple since people who still want to play can do so if they move to Android if Epic provides the APM.

  2710. I don't like it much but is Trump actually making any misrepresentations? It's one thing to sell someone a sack of potatoes and it's actually a sack full of poop but if you're honestly selling them a sack full of poop, that's just the trade.

  2711. Heat pumps are fantastic but they do cost resources to produce so if you push too hard, you will end up in deficit for a while and you may end up scrapping perfectly good equipment well before its natural life is done. Then there's also the factor that improvements are still being made and by rushing, you end up locking in equipment that could be performing better (much as we were forced into installing crappy CFLs when much better performing LEDs were just around the corner). In summary, encouraging heat pump adoption (preferably dual fuel) is good but forcing it unnaturally quickly is likely to do more harm than good.

  2713. When I was a kid of around 8 or 9 my family visited the US. We didn't have Dr Pepper in the UK so I had a can as a drink and thoughtlessly left it on the parcel shelf of the car while we were doing something. When we got back, I took a swig and it was hot from the sun. Put me off Dr Pepper for two decades.

  2723. Hmm Interesting with the blocking the dispenser. I sometimes put a large baking sheet at the front of the washer. The door is a slider rather than a flipper so I don't believe the door is being blocked but it could be stopping the pod from dropping out or at least being sprayed by water. I used to put it at the back but it turned out that would often block the sprayer arm (which I think it still does at the front sometimes if I'm not careful.

  2726. Another thing Amazon have changed is that it used to be if you removed your account from a kindle, the books would still remain on it. Now it wipes everything off. The old behavior made it nice for sharing with a family member. They now have something along those lines but it's not as useful. I use my kindle as an e-reader and sideload most of what I read with Calibre. I imagine it's only a matter of time before they close that door. At which point, I'll find something else.
    1
  2727.  @CottidaeSEA  Yes. As soon as I encountered exceptions, I saw they were a superior option (from a coding standpoint) to handling weird error return values. I can still use either when needed but exceptions allow dealing with things in a more logical way and discourage making assumptions (at least a little).

  2738. 12:35 puts me in mind of This Old Tony's recent video on constant force gas springs. Well worth a watch. (Note that it's totally different as the gas is compressed to produce the force and these are oil but the mechanisms are a bit similar).
    1
  2739. I'm thinking it should be possible to read the memory in situ and either reprogram it or replace the chip with a rom. Not going to spend thousands of dollars to find out though. The fact they're suing a company that came up with a bypass shows it's possible. Probably better to drop the info on how to do it into the public domain.

  2743.  @planefan082  SD card, headphone jack and replaceable battery are all convenience or even important features, not financial. bluetooth headphones can be had for $10. Not budget-busting at all. Buying multiple SD cards and batteries costs extra too so it's not like I'm looking to save money there. I don't care about the charger though.

  2746.  @klatubaradanikto  I think they can run off 120V (using the 120V charger) but the 240V doesn't need it. You'd want it to be that was as some countries only have the 240V available.

  2752.  @ChickenPizza  Yeah, I don't much. I don't understand how you think everyone should defer to experts and not think for themselves. Louis has enough knowledge and transferable skills to have an opinion and he has an audience. If he doesn't feel he has anything worth saying, he's perfectly free to say so.

  2756. I chose to become a parent. But it's also true that we benefit from those who may have other callings such as dedicating their life to science, engineering, business or similar. So I don't think it's a simple formulation. I also know those who have are dissuaded from being a parent because of their own childhood experiences. With that said, there is definitely a dangerous and destructive trend of anti-reproduction running through a lot of Western society and I don't think that's by accident but for political purposes.

I couldn't hear anything outside but after walking around, I think I localized it to a large fan on a nearby telecom building with the sound being conducted through the ground (hence why I couldn't hear it outside) so it may indeed be many things. The pipes are definitely a good candidate for many though.

  2793. The other issue is that if the rent is too high, the businesses that are renting will often find they can't cover their expenses and will not last and not only will you have long periods of non-occupancy but they will also be more frequent. Better to charge lower and have tennants that will last in my book. It happens as much in our little town as a big city like NY, I think. People just turning their savings or investment capital into rent.

  2794.  @louisbabycos106  There are several other factors that play into things too. Changing attitudes (we have seen way too many more serious scandals skate) and the internet to provide a platform for non-establishment voices. Trump is definitely a man for the times though.

  2798. This kind of thing is inevitable when companies start moving to a subscription model. The issue is that they feel that their customers are not paying enough for their product. This is called the market. Moving to the subscription model does not actually change the market forces much so they will still feel that their customers are not paying enough for their product. The next step is to start squeezing those stones. This doesn't necessarily apply to services which are inherently subscription appropriate but when you see it happening to stuff that isn't, unbridled greed comes into play and you don't want to be in the way.

Negligence would assign legal responsibility but that's not required for financial responsibility (which should be handled by insurance, especially since the vehicle could refuse to move if not covered). Again, issues should be so rare that there will not be any significant outcry.

You might be interested in some wheels that were designed a few years back that allow side-to-side travel when wheels are rotated in opposite direction due to a clever arrangement of diagonal bearings.

  2863. Right and left has basically become an incoherent mess. Partly through deliberate obfuscation from the "left" and partly through semantic drift. It's about time we abandoned its nomenclature. I mean, it's based on seating positions in a foreign parliament from centuries ago.

  2874. The "manual drive" of the changer mechanism brought back sensory memories of doing the same over more than 30 years... What "audiophiles" need to remember is that records often weren't for "listening to" in an acoustically perfect room with a pair of $2000 headphones but for background music during the day or for parties where you wouldn't want to be changing records all the time.

  2875. Although a couple of those stores didn't seem to have a huge amount of crime, they may be calculating that if they close the worst stores, the thieves will just switch over to the other stores. Also, they may be marginal on profitability to begin with. It seems sometimes stores are just kept open for brand reasons.

  2891. The constant jumpcuts are annoying. There was nothing wrong with the way you would talk freeform.

You lose sincerity.

You can lay out the simple facts and show that what they believe is unsubstantiated and the mental gymnastics they perform to deny the truth are amazing. Even dictionary definitions get disputed. I had one person refuse to tell me what they understood a term to mean because then I couldn't pick it apart. It's even better when they start joining together because then you get two incompatible streams of bullshit to deal with.

  2922. But Louis is talking about EVs. You're countering with a hybrid. Hybrids solve the problem but are an answer to a different question. While many people do have commutes that would work, they might need longer distances at the weekend to visit family or go to the lake or whatever so the issue becomes you don't have to look out not just for the common use case but also the less common ones too (though for the occasional road trip, renting a vehicle with more range might be a good option).
    1
  2923.  @johnmcaraher  Sure, hybrids definitely deserve a seat in the discussion and maybe that's the point. They seem to make sense to me. I just think Louis is more addresses the "pure EV" people.

  2925. Biggest issue I can think of would be that someone seeing you entering the roundabout might assume you were going to/had left the roundabout at an earlier turn-off and enter the roundabout, striking you. Now, that's their fault, of course but it's usually best to avoid doing things that surprise other road users if you can.

  2928.  @usernamesreprise4068  Analysis shows that it's the conditions that cause the slow traffic, not drivers driving to the front and merging in. All drivers using both lanes is the best and most efficient way to approach the merge. If the traffic would be free flowing, then the drivers in the ending lane have plenty of room to move over anyway and do not cause congestion.
    1
  2929.  @Mrfort  It's an educational issue. The UK has a very comprehensive driving education and test system but it apparently doesn't cover this well. (It certainly didn't when I took my test). The US education and testing is almost a joke in many locations.

  2931.  @usernamesreprise4068  I've used many roads in many parts of the world. I also used to hold a similar view to you so it is not alien to me at all. I have become convinced that the zipper merge is better from the evidence presented and have seen your concerns answered. I won't hope to convince you from your views but will only suggest that you keep an open mind. The evidence is all out there if you are interested enough to look and if you are not, that really isn't a concern of mine.
    1
  2932.  @fifthoarsmanoftheacropolis4173  True. A lot of it is fairly intuitive. Unfortunately, this is not and conflicts with what is "correct" behavior for pedestrians forming lines. If it's to be adopted (and it should be), it's going to require some education. It's not going to happen on its own.

  2941. You're absolutely right. I lived with a vegetarian for a while and we did our own cooking a lot. Nearly every kind of meat substitute was a disappointment. Far better to cook food that tastes good for itself. Ironically enough, keto often suffers from the same kind of impostor syndrome (cauliflower pizza?). The only good substitute I found was Sosmix but that's probably because UK sausages contain a lot of filler anyway.

Removing them for a few EVs that are going to sit there for 30-60 minutes would be insane (dual-use off-peak might work but I can see issues there too).

  2971. I think some of the problem is the streaming wars and the need for "content". It has led to a dilution of the talent pool.

  2993.  @LKonstantina915  If it's a temporary file, they may have just reused the filename or a standard one for screenshots but that doesn't seem to be the case. Also, Linux (Which android is based on) will typically create a new file if opened for write. You'd have to open for append and fseek to the beginning to do what they've done which seems weird. Maybe they figured because they already had the file handle open, they'd just fseek to the beginning and write which is pretty brain dead and unnecessary for saving a couple of lines of code.

  2994. It's important to remember that nobody won the popular vote because there wasn't a popular vote.

  3018.  hellsfavoritesaltyberserke4724  The thing that concerns me is the high center of gravity and balance (the same as with e-scooters). I heard a story of a guy who was sitting on his motorcycle stationary in his driveway, fell over sideways and hit his head and died. Of course,I'm not saying motorcycles are safe but they're designed for stability and I'm an ATGATT kinda guy.

  3022. Here's where I see the issue: Refurbishing screens, fine. Refurbishing screens and leaving the apple logo on existing parts, fine. Refurbishing the screen and adding the logo to non-Apple authorized parts, starts to get shaky. Personally, I'd have no problem losing a logo (hate em anyway) but that's like 75% of buying Apple in the first place. I agree with others that right to repair (the concept, not the bill) is definitely free market. The trick comes when companies pull stunts like bricking devices with aftermarket parts. (Though doing that after the fact should be counted as destroying property not theirs but it becomes trickier when DRM is built in day 0). OTOH, if you act like sheep, you're going to get shorn.

  3023. I do wonder if we could train our brains to understand 4D. One interesting thing I saw was that someone had made a manipulable 4D to 3D projection of a hypercube in VR. I think the manipulation would be essential to being able to grok the 4D. Unfortunately, they did not share the software.

Fortunately it was fixed when one of the pipes sprung a leak.

  3081. The main airports is a minus. Small airports have almost no waiting, little security and you can typically drive your car (or have your driver do it for you) right up to the plane. Presumably the international flights have to work with customs and immigration but I've heard stories where that's much easier for the rich than us normal plebs. I mean, it's not something I would pay for but I'm not filthy rich and I have some appreciation of the value of money.

  3114.  @Aroused_Milk  Just smarter than average is enough (though I think he's a little more than that) and he's spoken about stuff that he's done before that indicates he likely could have taken things in an IT direction. And for drive, he puts out way more content than I care to watch. Don't mistake the slobbishness for lack of motivation.

  3123. "Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's". Christianity quite well allows for separation of church and state (Catholicism perhaps a little less so) and it's no accident that secular humanism saw its rise in Europe. The left is mostly worried that alternative religions get in the way of the worship of the state. There's no way they'd put up with Islam the way they do if they didn't see it as a tool to attack the dominant religion in the west. (Disclaimer: I'm not a Christian).

  3128.  @user-uf4lf2bp8t  That doesn't contradict my point. Java was going to be the solution to everything (but aren't they all?) but eventually settled to being something more reasonably useful in some applications. Scripting languages (which Java straddles) are especially pernicious in their multiplicity as applications, even simple ones, require large installations of infrastructure to operate. Spitting out binaries is fine, typically. Argue what you want but the bloat is undeniable.

The nice thing is that leaving the lid flap on the can has been frowned upon in some segments as animals can get trapped. Yet fully opening the can means the lid drops into the food. With these new ones, that's all solved. What you can't do, as someone else mentioned, is use the lid to squeeze the contents to help get any liquids out.

  3171. The 'moving between a 50 degree angle' thing seems like a weak test to me. The ratchet will be an integer division of 360 degrees. That would be the better measurement. Otherwise, a ratchet with 30 degrees and one with 45 degrees (for example) would look the same as they would both move one click within your 50 degrees. In fact a 45 degree ratchet would do it in 8 which would rate better by your standard but would actually be pretty shitty.

  3182. Kinda underlines the often ridiculous state of regulations. Add a wheel so it's basically functionally identical and marginally safer and what could be a good idea becomes basically untenable.

  3203. When inflation is rising quickly, when companies raise their prices, they tend to want to get out in front of it so raise it a little bit more which, of course, accelerates the inflation. Then throw in some greed and the opportunity to blame additional rises on inflation. Just one more reason why inflation is pernicious and government needs to get the money printing under control. Inflation has its own costs beyond just higher prices. Also, the government lies about inflation so saying that price rises are above inflation doesn't necessarily mean much. The operating margin thing is pretty convincing though.

  3218.  @techmage89  Other than tectonic drift, longitudinal measurements relative to one port are relative to all ports. Many ships would be out of sight of landmarks other than the stars for long periods of time so accurate timekeeping was essential for navigation. The speed of the earth at the equator is approximately 1000mph so just a minute of error in timekeeping could be 16 miles error in location. A few minutes could make a port or small island very hard to find.

  3219.  @techmage89  Sorry, I'm too tired right now to process where this is going but yeah, local noon was often fine as a standard for many purposes. Especially in the UK where everything fits in one timezone anyway. I think even with trains, cities didn't really have to stay in sync. It's just simpler for the people on the train (and probably most importantly the engineer) to keep things simple. The thing I always come back to is that it's all pretty much arbitrary anyway. Often people are too fixed in their thinking that 0:01 should be the middle of the night and 12:00 should be when the sun is nearly overhead but there's nothing that says that has to be so.

  3232. @ I'd be fine with the first step being that government stop preventing the loans being discharged through bankruptcy. The problem is, the loans encourage colleges to offer shitty degrees and increase their tuition fees (the data on how they've increased is out there and is shocking) and leads to qualification inflation for jobs. It's also devastated vocational training. If the loans are just loans, most of that goes away. I'm not even that fussed if there's some direct government assistance in there, especially if it's properly targeted (which it won't be).

  3295.  @edwardcullen1739  The deal with calling it a 9.9 (out of 10. I assume it doesn't go to 11) is that that doesn't allow much escalation for anything that would be much more dangerous. Additionally, I note that you're already talking about desktops and laptops which is fine if you're discussing security issues for desktops and laptops. But Linux is much bigger and there are many devices for which a CUPS vulnerability is not even relevant like Android devices, my old Tivo and my document scanner. So again, yes, CVSS is flawed (or at least, something is).

  3302. It's pretty straightforward. If the drive is properly encrypted, it can't be accessed with the correct key. So you should be able to replace the chip which holds the key with a new chip and the drive would be effectively blank. That's in theory anyway. Apple would no doubt make this difficult/impossible. (The bigger point it, if they are using good encryption, the drive doesn't need to be overwritten).

  3331. Permission systems always tend to move towards people just clicking on OK to get on with it. I can't think of the last time I pondered whether UAC was asking something useful. Then again, they tend to happen at expected times. Android permissions have been whack for a while but they seem to be a little better now than they were. The location access request for something that's not inherently a location access function is still a bit odd.

  3335.  @j4nk3n Thing is, physical games can have drm and servers too. Digital games can also be backed up (though that also still has the issue with drm and servers too). You can still buy games that are DRM free and don't require servers (my copy of Cyberpunk for example). The major concern, PC or games is that you get to enjoy using them for a while so they provide value. Can the same be said for skins and luxury items? Perhaps. Personally I fail to see the value and think they're a bit of a scam, particularly when paying for brands but that's just my opinion.

I've replaced the heating element a couple of times but plastic bits have broken and I recently replaced the buttons and relays on the electronic controller and the hinges last year. It could easily last another 20 years but it's hard to get some of the replacement parts and it's starting to look tired in a few places (again down to the plastics). I did look around for replacements but no current stove has the same features.

  3346. Currently only usable with t-mobile. Which is an issue cause Verizon recently bought Tracfone and their website errors out on my number when I try and port it to a t-mobile sim.
    1
  3347.  @Leprechaun_of_Maryland  Really? To my understanding, Verizon uses a not-very compatible system so I figured the pinephone was not compatible. I'll have to try popping the SIM in. Tracfone is a reseller. They sell (or maybe sold) phones that were compatible with all three major carriers. I had a G7 on an AT&T sim but AT&T were doing upgrades that made my phone no longer work with their network. Because of this, Tracfone sold me (at a discount) a phone on the Verizon network. I also bought a Pinephone at the same time but, as I say, something is messed up with the website.
    1
  3348.  @Leprechaun_of_Maryland  Interesting. It kinda worked. I got a message about the sim not being in the phone it was activated in (which is a bullshit restriction) but that shows it could access the network. Now to see how to get that restriction removed. Seems like that could mean another sim which comes back to the website issues unless I want a new number (and I kinda like my old number).

  3437.  @michaelsommers2356  That was not really my implication. It was a suggestion about how accidents would be covered. Cars already consist of a combination of human and manufacturer provided systems, either of which can malfunction at any time resulting in damage, injury or death. After that, there are two issues, liability and culpability. Liability to be handled by insurance, culpability to be handled by existing or newly enacted laws, presumably. This isn't nearly as complicated as you want it to be.

  3438.  @michaelsommers2356  To be clear, it will be accepted that AI will make some mistakes. Just as it is accepted that people will make mistakes and that manufacturing defects happen.

  3439.  @michaelsommers2356  Well, TheWatchinator asked "who's responsible?". I was looking at the financial aspect. So I'll repeat that that wasn't my intended implication. Clearly if you're looking for culpability, that is another issue, probably to be settled in courts and will likely come down to whether due diligence has been carried out.

  3482.  @laurencefraser  Hah yeah. There is that aspect. Also USB-C devices that don't have the resistors to trigger smart chargers to produce 5V so you need a USB A to C cable with a dumb charger. But my point was more about not having to have to worry about multiple connecter types.

  3520. I have a developer background but moved to sysadmin. Was asked to look at why the company's main application was running so terribly in QA. Mind you, in production it was running on about 20 clustered servers. It seemed like an app that would run on a single beefy server 15 years previous so I looked into it and the app was making 3000+ SQL queries per page, most of them duplicates. The cause seemed to be injudicious use of un-optimized frameworks as far as I could tell). The developers (too big a department in itself) were regarded as golden children so they just threw more hardware at it every time it got slow and wouldn't tell them to fix their shit. I understand they booted some people but didn't get to the root cause and it still continues to this day. It's still making them boatloads of money so I guess they're happy but it was painful to see.

Some level of regulation makes sense but the auto-industry is definitely over-regulated.

  3526. F2P can be seen as a "first one's free" kind-of advertising. It doesn't matter if people are getting a free ride if enough of them convert to good paying customers later. So with that in mind, adding advertising could either be beneficial to the company by allowing them money or detrimental by driving people away. I kinda agree with Asmongold that people will put up with it, sadly and that's all that's needed. The big issue I have with internet advertising is that it often brings very little value to the company (and quite often the advertisers) while disproportionately negatively affecting the end user by being annoying or using bandwidth or especially time (mine is valuable) or whatever else. It's a very shitty model for revenue generation in many cases.

Personally, I tend to lean towards open source anyway.

  3560. @c c You will also come into contact with many more people. Let's run some numbers. Say there's a base level chance of infecting someone within 6ft of 10%. Someone in a bar might come in range 50 people leading to 5 infected. Someone in a protest might come in range of 500 people leading to 50 infected. Even if being inside is worse than being outside (which you haven't shown, by the way), that's a lot to make up for. These numbers are almost certainly incorrect but they are feasible and should illustrate my point.

(I could be wrong though.) For example, if you had two disks that intersected at 90 degrees and you wanted a small fillet in one of the quadrants (but not the others) for about 1/4 of the disk's radius, how would you specify that in the scripting language natively? Much easier when you are manipulating the model directly. Don't get me wrong though, I'd love to have such capability.

  3622. The second would have fit well as part of a TV series of "predator encounters" if it had 30 minutes cut from it. It wasn't bad as such but if Predator was turned up to 11, Predator 2 was running at about 7 or 8.

  3625. Same here. Can't remember which was the last one I watched (but I could probably work it out). The first one was fantastic but as Drinker says, they quickly descended to torture porn, often with no way out of the traps (one memorable one was a woman who just got frozen to death). I think there may have been plot reasons for that but the originality was gone either way.

  3651.  @Mikoshi700  The cloud is great if your have bursty or unpredictable needs. Other than that, it starts becoming less of a value proposition and costs rack up quickly.

  3652.  @Mikoshi700  Yes. Mostly I see it for things like render farms and for things like online retailers where capacity fluctuates throughout the year. AWS is a bit more costly than people think though. I worked for a company that was a heavy user of VMWare and they looked to save money by migrating everything to the cloud. Last I heard they were moving most of it back out. Personally I think they would have been better off optimizing their shitty software in the first place but you can only tactfully suggest that so many times before you want to start grabbing people by the lapels and shaking them.

  3667. That wouldn't have happened because it would make a bad story. Basically you had a lot of youtubers hyping the fear for views and clickbait. Not completely without justification because of the mess that's been made of Star Wars and Who but the MCU has been reasonably solid.

But those people are a bit "special" iykwim ;) with respect to the battery packs, I'm sure they could be designed to be protected from unsafe handling (assuming the pack itself isn't itself being disassembled) if the will was there.

  3676. Supply and demand. If prices are rising, it's hardly surprising manufacturers are going to raise their MSRPs. Higher profitability encourages the manufacturers to produce more vehicles. We've seen the same with video cards. It sure sucks for the customer though. Perhaps shutting down the economy wasn't the best move...

  3681. It's tricky because if you are too accepting, you open yourself to subversion which is why so many organizations are woke in the first place where they used to be exactly as you'd wish. So clearly there does need to be a degree of gatekeeping, particularly around the core of the organization. Just ask the Trojans.
