Right?

Something this old is going to be power inefficient compared to newer stuff, and simply not perform as well.

I would know, I just booted up a 10 year old consumer router last night, because the current one died. It'll be OK for a few days until I can get a replacement. Boy, is this thing slow.

People might judge you for using the word "master" but it should be alright in private.

I snorted. It was my inner 12-year-old's fault. (Also because of recently some idiots getting up in arms about these terms in technology.)

Yea, Santa is the more secular icon. There are even Christians that take issue with the Santa character (which is a combination of "Pagan" and Christian mythos). I put Pagan in quotes, as that's a Christian term for certain non-Christian beliefs.

Wait, did I read that correctly and they replaced the hat with a snowflake?? Hahahaha

And yes, people often forget that generally offense is taken. When it's intentionally given, it's pretty clear.

Hahahahahahaha

Where were these?

Because I don't recall ever seeing ads like this.

In the industrial realm, baking is quite scientific, I'm sure. It's a much more controlled, and measureable environment than a home baker's.

Take our ovens (please!) - you want 450? OK, how about I give you 420 to 475 as I cycle on and off? Lol

Even in the industrial realm you'll deal with the variability in your ingredients (e.g. moisture content of flour), but you'll have the capability to measure that, and have systems to compensate for it automatically. (Yes, I'm jealous!)

What does 1/8 tsp of pepper weigh?

Anyone who gets into baking today will quickly learn volumetric measuring doesn't work.

Basic baking you can get away with volumetric (simple breads, for example). Anything beyond that... Well, good luck.

Scales have been cheap for a couple generations now. Digital scales didn't exist until I was an adult, but the cheap spring type did. And those were maybe $5 decades ago. It's more about awareness and knowledge. Cookbooks 50 years ago wouldn't have had weight measurements because people didn't have scales.

Black magic chemistry at that, since local, varying conditions can affect baking so much.

And things like flour compact.

This isn't unpopular.

Anyone who learns to bake quickly learns this.

Hell, I want boring. Boring means it's stable, reliable.

Lol.

OK, Impressive Clergyman!

It's twoo, it's twoo!

Ever drive in a car?

Roll the window down on a sunny day, you'll feel the difference.

It's not a massive difference though.

Mine acted like a wifi card. I could connect to wifi networks with it.

Worked for shit, but it did work... Just enough.

Yep, had one for my Treo in 2006

As far as I recall, root has never been required to flash a phone.

This is because flashing occurs at the firmware level, while root, again, is a function of the installed OS.

Unlock has nothing at all to do with root.

Root is dependent on unlocking, not the reverse, as root is part of the installed OS.
