  • From what I understand, most ADHD medications are stimulants. Caffeine is too. Apparently a lot of ADHD people self-medicate with coffee or energy drinks unintentionally.

    I know that anecdotally it’s true. Almost everyone I know with ADHD consumes caffeine like crazy.

  • This is literally happening. Without getting too specific so her job stays safe, my sister works as an ocean researcher for the government. They removed any mention of the word “diversity” and “biodiversity” from their research and so far, they haven’t lost their jobs yet.

  • Way back when, I had a Palm Pixie, which ran WebOS. While it wasn’t FOSS, if you turned on developer mode, you would have full terminal access to the Linux system it was running.

    I think HP eventually made it open source and now LG uses it for their TVs. But that phone’s OS was one of the best ones I had seen at the time.

  • Permanently Deleted

  • I don’t have a BambuLab printer, but the printers I have owned have done that when the nozzle is clogged, when over extruding or when the print bed is too close to the nozzle.

    Basically, something is preventing the plastic from extruding out and the extruder motor is slipping.

  • I used to live in Phoenix, Arizona and I don’t blame her for driving. They NEED better public transit there. On the occasion my wife and I couldn’t drive, it was often faster to walk for literal hours than take the bus. Phoenix is the definition of sprawl. It upset me so much when people were complaining about the city extending the light rail.

    All that said, this article is pure cope. She bought a truck that makes a political statement and is upset that people don’t like that it makes a political statement.

  • I think some of the biggest complaints about Vista were its poor driver support and over-active UAC. You couldn’t hardly do anything on the computer without UAC bugging you for permission when Vista first came out.

  • Windows 2000 sold as both a server OS and a workstation OS, but there was no home edition of 2000. There was also no professional version of Me. It would probably be more accurate to say there were two separate paths of evolution that converged with XP.

    NT -> 2000 -> XP
    98 -> ME -> XP

    Though, XP is built off of the NT kernel, so you could also argue that the 9X line ended with ME.

  • It’s also the way they make cheap LED headlights. The reflectors that direct the beam of light in your headlights expects the filament of the bulb to be in a very specific spot, but LED headlights often have a much wider area where the light emits from than the little filament that traditional headlights do. So when installed in cars that aren’t designed for LEDs, the beam pattern can be off and make the light shine at people instead of down toward the road.

  • In group policy (local or domain):
    Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Display highly detailed status messages

    Also make sure that this policy is not set or set to disabled:
    Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Remove Boot / Shutdown / Logon / Logoff status messages

    Instead of using local group policy you could use the registry:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
    "VerboseStatus"=dword:00000001

    If you do it through registry, make sure this key is either non-existant or set to 0.
    HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
    “DisableStatusMessages”

    If you use Windows a lot, get used to the group policy editor. Your computer should have the local group policy editor on it. If you’ve never used it before, you’ll be surprised at how configurable Windows can be if you know where to look. They just don’t really give those options to the everyday user.

  • Not to defend Windows too much in a Linux community, but you can turn on verbose status messages for the screens you see during startup, shutdown, login and log off. It’s a setting that can either be turned on with the local or domain group policy, or by registry key.

    Still though, it’s not as detailed as full console output, but is definitely more helpful than just telling you to wait.

  • You might have trouble getting free unrestricted library cards if you don’t live in the area that the library serves. They are usually paid for with taxes and aren’t there to serve people outside their community.

    If you’re willing to pay for it, I know that the Ottawa Public Library in Canada offers membership for $90/year to people living outside Ottawa. You may find something similar at other libraries.

    The Libraries and Archives of Canada will issue a card too, but you have to visit the archives in person and have a reason you are using the archives and not another library.
