  • I mean, I'm not that old but I am out of shape but it doesn't take a lot of effort to use a sniper rifle. I can just sit on a hill and pick off every red flag wielding red hat I see.

  • What makes me laugh is the idea that if Trump were declared dictator for life, how long do you think his life would be?

    One, the man weighs 280 lb in his 70s. He does not have long left.

    Two, the best way to become dictator for life is to be announced dictator for life. This second best way is to kill the current dictator for life and take his seat. How long do you think it will take all of the people that follow Trump for money to realize that putting a bullet in his head would get them more money?

  • All right Johnson, HR has decided that you can pick one day a week to war from home, but you're only going to get halftime pay for that.

  • I have taken the A+ certification on two separate occasions and the first time I walked in with no training and aced it. The second time I walked in with no training and I struggled but I still passed.

    The CompTIA certifications do get updated on a roughly 3-year cycle, but even so they're never going to cover everything and even if you can pass the test it doesn't actually mean that you are a competent IT person.

  • Yeah I only learned about that in the comments down below. I was just going off what they taught me when I took my network+ what 3 years ago?

    Ethernet being reconditioned to Auto negotiate crossover connections was not covered or if it was it was a blurb and I forgot it in the meantime.

  • I was not aware of this!

  • You would also need a type A to type B ethernet cable, AKA a crossover cable.

    Without that you will need some sort of switch to act as an intermediary between the two devices.

  • Human beings are bioluminescent.

    We glow so faintly that we can't see each other in the dark but we can be picked up in the dark by sensitive enough equipment.

  • Most personality tests will not tell you anything about yourself that you didn't already know, it will not give you any insights into the correct way to live your life or what is going to work for you.

    However, it can help you frame things about yourself in a new light or to help you come to understand the way that you work inside of a larger social picture.

    So they don't work to tell you who you are, but they help you be who you can be.

  • How are you going to make any money then?

    Answer: paywall their fucking site.

    I'm paying for Internet access. If they don't block their site it's free game.

  • I'm of the opinion that everything that gets passed off as a meme isn't necessarily a meme. Sometimes they're just funny pictures. (Actual humor content may vary)

    Memes should have something to do with a commonly understood phrase or thought in the culture and highlight those.

    Of course, with enough push those funny pictures can become memes but ideally they would start as a meme and then have comedy added to them.

  • Yeah they're following the IBM playbook of being the operating system that businesses run.

    I just wish they would take a hint and release a paid version that has none of the ads, none of the bloatware, and none of the bullshit.

    I feel confident that I could pay them just as much money as they would ever earn from mining my data and annoying the ever-loving fuck out of me and I would be happier about that.

    But since they won't do that fortunately there's things like Atlas OS.

  • Did you get your hypercube new in the store?

    Lucky! I found mine on the side of the road and I had to stuff all the strings back into it. Took me ages!

    Then I got like this dinosaur infestation I had to wipe them out with a fucking meteorite, and now I'm pretty sure I've got humans and I don't know what to do anymore.

  • Yep. It's my goal to be as unprofitable a citizen for our corporate overlords as possible.

    I want them to lose money by doing business with me.

    I want them to go bankrupt so that their future replacements can learn from their mistakes and not repeat them.

    If they choose to be user hostile, I'll match their energy and multiply it. Fuck em.

  • Yeah realistically you're talking about a team of 10 to 30 people whose entire job is to give the final thumbs up or thumbs down to an ad.

    You're talking one to three million dollars a year, maybe throw an extra million on for the VP.

    Chump change, they just don't want to pay it cuz nobody's forcing them to

  • I don't care if you're on or off the Taylor Swift hate train, but this is freaking funny.

  • If your old phone has a removable battery, you can sometimes replace them with an appropriate capacitor.

    That will eliminate spicy pillows from the mix but also eliminate battery backup, so if your power goes out you will need to manually turn them back on.
