I have no idea what I just read

It's fairly common in countertop dishwashers, but come to think of it, I don't know if it exists for full-size ones. The one I have is this: https://www.midea.com/sg/kitchen-appliances/dishwasher/MDWS-2703

I really like that my dishwasher has a window so I can peek inside while it's working. Besides the coolness factor, it's also useful to see whether any of the rotors are blocked from spinning or something tipped over.

It's not a deal breaker if you get one without a window, but it's really nice to have.

I knew someone would beat me to it.

As a user, why should I care whether the distro I use uses systemd? I use Mint and I don't remember having to interact with that kind of low-level nonsense. The distro maintainers can use whatever reasoning they want to pick these details.

there's a pretty wild range there from fairly easy to make in a few hours to massive community effort over several decades

Neither. Internal politics in Israel threatened to break up the government, and starting a war with Iran was the easiest way to stop that. Can't break up the government now, we're in a state of emergency!

Bibi would sooner burn down all of Israel than step down from power.

Recently built a PC with an AMD GPU. Tried to figure out how to install AMD drivers, because Mint's driver manager didn't seem to offer anything like it would for nvidia... Turns out AMD drivers are just part of the Linux kernel and you don't need to install them at all. Nice.

I did have one problem though - my hardware is too new and the kernel shipped with Mint doesn't really support it yet. But it was surprisingly easy to install a newer kernel. And anyway for any PC that doesn't use bleeding edge hardware, this would never be an issue.

<3 Mint and Linux

Call me crazy, but I think they should be kids.

Oh, it's not a real (albeit miniscule) shock? Disappointing.

Honestly, I think it's premature - Organic Maps isn't down the drain yet. But I'm also not 100% up to date. You can see most of the context here and in the open letter linked within: https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/organic-maps-open-letter/128851

They were naked when practicing athletics. I don't know if it was a cultural thing or an actual lack of good options for sportswear, but I'll bet you can find out with 5 minutes of searching online. My bet is it was just a cultural thing.

Modesty and decency demanded that men who showed themselves naked in a public setting, such as athletes or actors, must conceal their glans.

Naturally.

All top results on DuckDuckGo for naked running are about the literal meaning of it. Is it actually used as a term for tech-free (but clothed) running? Press X to doubt.

I'd call it "rawdog running" if anything, but that doesn't sound right either.

There is literally a drawing app called procreate. Nothing about this joke is forced, it's just a direct observation.

Every part of that is fine except not including the cable with the product. But I don't think I ever got a new product with a USB-B connector that didn't come with the cable.

I just recently looked into Secure Boot and from my understanding it's not a Microsoft lock-in. Many Linux distributions are signed with keys that are loaded by default, and advanced users can even add custom signatures to their computer so Secure Boot would accept them. The original fear around Secure Boot was legitimate, but by now we know the worst outcome of it didn't come to pass.

That said, I did disable it on my new PC because I think the chance of it causing issues is greater than the chance it will actually protect me from bootloader malware, and I'm willing to accept that risk and responsibility.

All mathematical theorems should be intuitively explained with animal cruelty.

I think you'll find that that's exactly how this works.

You anarchist!

Real talk though, I think specs are literally my favorite thing in the world. The truly great ones are so good that there's never a real reason to deviate from them - if you do, you're either doing something wrong or you're taking a shortcut for a hobbyist project (which is fine, but not for anything mass-produced). USB is mostly one of those great specs. The cable you posted is an abomination. There is always a better way.
