Hardly.

Literally

Normies don't tend to perform OS installs from slipstreamed update media.

Do you know what the signal bar on a phone actually represents?

Thoughts and prayers. It will even lie about the technology in use (e.g. it may display "5G" while connected to a "4G LTE" cell if that cell supports 5G EN-DC, regardless of if the feature is actually in use).

My friend, most base stations got fiber backhaul before 5G even existed. We are well beyond that problem.

In fact, it is not uncommon in 2025 to have fiber fronthaul from the remote radio (at the mast) back to the "cloud" where the actual base station is virtualized and/or software-defined (at the data center).

The usable signal issue is a whole other complex can of electromagnetic worms and in contemporary times is a side effect of how 5G NR is sort of "bolted on" to 4G LTE. It is not dissimilar to the growing pains that mixed 3G/4G networks had.

Meanwhile... UnitedHealth Hires Defamation Firm Over Social Media Posts

They have the #1 (USAF), #2 (US Army Aviation), #4 (US Navy), and #7 (USMC) largest air forces in the world, plus nukes. What do you expect Billy Bob and his AR-15 to accomplish?

This. You want to really have an impact? Bypass the US long-haul, rail, and shipping networks. Send it all through the coasts.

FDIC insurance means that if the market completely crashes and your credit union shuts down, the Federal Reserve prints new money to replace your deposits, up to like $250,000.00.

This is not correct. The FDIC is self-funded through risk-based insurance premiums paid by the banks.

But why is that? Is this one of those tar sands vs sweet crude situations

Over a dozen states have so-called "cage free" laws now, with some states like Colorado only recently having them go into effect as of January 2025.

So I am sorry you don't want people to talk about an impending genocide

Quite the contrary. Say it loud and say it proud.

how pissed off I am to have that thrown at me every fucking day.

This part. This is the part that makes me think "He needs a break." And again, I say that as someone who also needs a break.

Maybe that's projection. I don't know. All I know is this is the first week that has left me seriously thinking about just deleting all my accounts, taking a break from the doom scrolling, and waiting for the dust to settle. The unproductive, bad faith, aggressive discourse on top of what is actually happening is mentally and physically exhausting.

You're still putting your time and energy into emigrating, right? That's got to be an exhausting process for a whole family to handle as it is.

I implore you, seriously. Take a few days away from being terminally online. "Flood the zone" is in full effect right now. This is the part where they're purposefully wearing us down. Save some of that energy for later.

Maybe it's not my place to offer that advice. I certainly don't know you personally. But you remind me a lot of me when I'm overwhelmed. Sorry about the bad-taste post before.

Squid, as a highly stressed out banana who also needs to touch grass, I implore you, seriously, please touch grass.

The average American family would have to stop buying eggs, for example.

Bird flu is taking care of that already

Sure, just let me know what your ticket number is and I'll inquire about the delayed response.

The context is literally a Windows dialog box – one which the user should never see in a properly maintained corporate environment.

Not everyone at a company can be managed by group policy or in-tune or whatever. Like if they aren't using windows.

It is 2024. Endpoint management software is cross-platform now. But this is a Windows dialog box. So I'm not sure what point you are even trying to make.

I have no interest in engaging further with your pedantic hypotheticals. Go move the goalposts with someone else.

not-Windows

The context is literally a Windows dialog box.

If you're responsible for enterprise workstations, the last thing you want is for Brenda in HR to be able to install/run unauthorized software in the first place. She has full access to employee files, payroll data, insurance, etc.

Her shit better be locked down.

You don't. You fix it with group policy or Intune and she never sees that.

I can't tell which is supposed to be which
