That's... actually not too far from the mark. Ribs were on the menu for the Cardinal College, once upon a time.

What concerns me the most is what happens when you heap climate refugees on top of this mess. The forecast doesn't look so great.

Gotta go harder to get that deep clean.

Yeah, just install bidet hoses next to all the toilets.

"Job's done, boss."

Don't feel stupid. It's bad enough that all of IT is one giant impostor-syndrome support group. There's literally too much for any one person to know, and it's been that way for a very long time. Just give it your all, and memorize how to reliably search and look things up; take notes for the really important stuff. The rest will filter into your memory with practice.

Also: anyone that holds this kind of thing over your head is attempting to distract from how much they don't know. Most people in this industry understand and don't judge.

As for the ^ thing, I recall seeing that as far back as the 1990's. I want to say Microsoft actually popularized it, but it could easily be OS2 (IBM) or Apple. In hindsight, it's kind of wild to have a TUI (terminal user interface) hold your hand like this. Nano (and Pico) are kind of in a special category like that.

Scene: on the far wall of the room is a small intercom. It is connected to a hospital wide-AI, that is tasked to converse with patients, especially when the noise threshold exceeds 66Db. The intercom springs to life after hearing these very loud complaints, and begins to speak in a soothing, if not slightly robotic, voice.

AI health assistant: Sarah, remember what we talked about? That was 30 years ago. Silberman died 15 years ago. Please stop disturbing the other patients and eat your pudding.

This raises an interesting question: if some time traveler really did tamper with things, what would the evidence look like? Is there anything that could have only happened with knowledge from a now defunct timeline?

Then there's the horror that it is actually happening and this is somebody's idea of a repaired timeline.

I am not a lawyer, this is not legal advice.

With the LLC thing, I was once told that you must have some partners or employees to be considered a proper legal shield. I recommend consulting with a lawyer and to be very open about the (very real) problems you're trying to solve. Godspeed, OP.

That was my immediate thought. There were many that came before RCT, but it has the distinction of being (possibly) one of the last in an industry that had already moved on to higher-level languages to do merely half as much.

They also hated their local sysadmin. BOFH still holds up in a few key ways.

Huh? Isn't it like right there at the bottom of the screen?

I guess not knowing that ^X means Control+X could be the issue, but still...

Copilot: What is my purpose?

User: You download and install Linux.

These monsters crave power. They see oppressive regimes all over the world, stepping on people in a variety of ways, and think: "yeah, that's the stuff."

Protip: the mandatory "health & safety" briefing is just so HR can cover their butts. Don't bother wasting your time with it - you're not going to need any of that don't-run-with-safety-scissors stuff.

Agreed, although it's wise to have a backup option for this. It's entirely possible that you have two solid Portal players go at this, which should be a really fun romp. However, in my experience, any skill gap between the players usually turns every stage into "how do I carry my friend through this puzzle?" An extreme version of this can be seen in Game Grumps' playthrough.

By "traveling community" and "travelers", does the article author actually mean Romani ("gypsies")?

I ask since the article may have lost something in translation. It also puts the police's actions in a different light if true.

ISPs also log which customer gets which IP and keep that historical data

I can confirm that not only is this true, but it's been this way since the 1990's. The metadata correlates the IP address, date/time information, and customer account number. It's highly likely that any given ISP will have this data going back years, if not decades. It really doesn't take up much space.

I can also confirm the "just ask nicely" part. I've seen it with my own eyes that it really comes down the scruples of the people guarding said data. There exists no law that prevents that information from being disclosed to anyone.

From the charging hole.

Can do, boss! Not sure what this means though.

She's onto something. CRT displays and VHS recordings are very imperfect in the best way; they lie to us so sweetly. There's a lot of production mistakes and fakery that is really hard to spot with old tech. These things stand out in ways unforeseen on digital remasters all the time - it kind of kills the magic of it all, really.

Story time.

It honestly feels like about 264,000 gallons of that were spilled at a placed I used to work. I still have no idea who the culprit(s) was.

No kidding, the problem was so bad that building management stepped in and... added chamomile scented floor mats beneath the urinals to catch and deodorize the... ugh (gross)... drippings. It was such a strong smell that it wafted out into the hallway with the subtlety of a sledgehammer. This prompted some of the women in the office to remark at how unfair it was that the men's room was obviously getting all this extra attention. I almost can't describe the mixture of disappointment and disgust on their faces once I explained why this was happening.

I also once had to explain to my wife that the above situation, along with the smell of urinal cakes and most gas-station-restroom deodorizers, are the reason why chamomile tea is a hard pass for me.
