Oh, the software is actually called SANE. I thought you were just making clear how bad Brother's drivers were.

Anyone else chuckle on the parallel in saying to use the UUID is no different than saying "just hardcore the IP bro"

It's more like setting a static IP. The UUID is set when you create the partition and won't change unless you force it to change.

You can also use any of the GUI utilities which can add it to your fstab.

There's a lot of things that are made way too difficult on Linux for seemingly no reason. This isn't one of them.

Wow. Everyone, ignore this guy, he's also an ad.

Instead, you should hop on over to your local Chevy Dealership and ask about test driving the all new 2025 Tahoe. Drive one home today for less than $2,000 down!

HamCo?

I see them all the time near 37. You always gotta be careful around them.

It seems like the Mustang EV is selling better nowadays at least. I see just about as many of them on the road compared to Teslas. They at least seem to be pretty good drivers.

There's no legal distinction, it's only defamation.

Fun fact. At least through the early 1800s, the First Amendment did not protect you from criminal defamation no matter how truthful your words were.

People v Croswell. A reporter, Croswell, discovered that Jefferson was paying a reporter to attack Adams and call Washington a traitor. He wrote an article on it.

Jefferson pressured the NY AG to bring forward charges of defamation. Croswell argued in court that he could not be defaming Jefferson because he had proof the actions occurred. The Court ordered the jury to only base their opinions on whether or not the statements were published. They found him guilty.

He appealed to the NY SC, this time with Hamilton representing him. Hamilton argued that the truth should always be an absolute defense against defamation. After all, it can't be defamation if it's factual. They ruled against him as well.

He appealed to the SCOTUS. Hamilton presented the same arguments: what Croswell wrote were facts, he could prove they were facts, and defamation should only apply to lies. They were split 2-2 which upheld his sentence and de facto prevented truth from applying as a defense to defamation.

While many states enacted laws providing truth as an absolute defense, it wasn't until over a century later that the Constitutional opinion changed and allowed the defense.

I just accidentally deleted my crontab about an hour ago because r is right next to e.

Fortunately my computer backs itself up often so I could just grab the old crontab but it was annoying and would have been problematic if I didn't.

I also had to recover my computer a few months back because someone whoopsied the default apt repositories for Ubuntu x64 arch and pushed the x86 software there instead.

it certainly hasn't been tested in court yet, at least not that I've been able to find.

Arbitration is allowed in an EULA and has been sanctioned by courts.

Most agreements are considered enforceable as long as their content is reasonable, you have been granted sufficient notice to accept or decline the agreement, the agreement is not unconscionable, and it doesn't violate the UCC.

It's usually considered a poor idea to use it also as an AP.

The location usually isn't great for your WiFi and there are better tools for the job.

OpnSense would be the easiest way if you wanted to go. It's still not easy, but the articles online should help you out.

First you'd need a machine. I've got an m920q I bought off eBay for $135 after shipping.

The computer will likely only have one Ethernet port. And it's likely the port is Realtek which isn't supported well.

So, you'll need to get yourself a NIC (a fancy term for a network card). There are good forum posts and articles online about the best NICs to buy for your needs. Intel is a must. However, you can find many of their NICs online labeled as another brand - usually HP, Lenovo, or Dell. Again, the forum posts will tell you what to look for.

If you bought the same computer I mentioned above, you'll also need a riser and a bezel. Amazon and eBay will have a good selection.

Now assemble it. Flash the computer with OpnSense. Don't plug it in as your router yet. Follow along with some basic setup guides online to figure out how you want it configured.

Once you're happy, plug it in as your router and test that it works. If not, you'll need to put your old router back in place until you can figure out what you need to change.

For NASA, similar desk layout, but it does look more modernized.

I'd say that's too far even for him... But he's literally claiming black people like him because he's a criminal.

He's showing that he's more racist than we gave him credit for. And we already thought he was crazy racist.

SD has pass through charging, so once the battery is fully charged and also while it is plugged in, you aren't powering it through the battery like cell phones and most laptops do.

That's how nearly all modern devices work. Li-Ion can't be charged and discharged simultaneously. There is circuitry to split the power between the battery and the device when it's being charged.

Cheaper devices will just stop charging when you use them or they won't work at all when plugged in.

It's not working because W11 is using a CPU instruction that doesn't exist in older processors.

And by older, I don't mean Pre-Zen or Intel 5XXX... I mean OG AMD Athlon and Intel Core 2 Duo. If you're trying to run on a CPU from 2008, that's on you. These were never supported - hence the title.

The only reason this was discovered was because some YTers make videos of running W10/11 on super old computers.

If Microsoft switches (seemlessly) to a Linux kernel, no one would really notice.

Besides quite literally every piece of software breaking, sure.

My favorite when reading sports news is "resign".

It can mean that they quit or that they entered into a new contract.

My favorite part is looking at the rating and seeing that all the 1-4 star reviews are missing. Sure, the product has 1.7 stars, and, sure, Amazon requires you to write a review with your rating, but somehow only the people who rated it five stars left reviews 🤔

Only way I'm using most shopping sites is if I know they're trustworthy and if they support PayPal or one of the major payment processors. I'm not going to type my CC number into a random website and trust that they aren't hacked.

There are a lot of issues with PayPal, but at least it makes it easy for me to get a refund if the seller refuses. The last time I had to get a refund, it was because the seller told me I had to ship my $20 product back to China in order to get a 50% refund. This was despite the returns agreement explicitly requiring them to cover return shipping and that shipping it to China would have cost me about $150.

The details for Prime explicitly refer to it as Two Day Delivery, not shipping.

They haven't had an expansion franchise since 2002 and it's unlikely it'll happen any time in the near future. 32 teams is perfectly balanced - each conference has 16 teams and four divisions. Each division has four teams.

It would also be very expensive.

You'd need a stadium that met the NFL standards. The average stadium costs about $2B. Fortunately for her (and unfortunately for the rest of us), taxpayers on average pay about $1.2B of that. We'll be very generous and assume they paid even more or she received a substantial loan that will be paid off otherwise, leaving her with about $250M out of pocket.

It should be noted that the opposite is more often true for expansion teams, though. Cities don't want to pay for the stadium because there's more risk with new teams. They could decide to leave very quickly, the owners might not have the capital to keep the team afloat, etc. The Texans were the last expansion team and nearly all of the cost for their stadium was privately funded.

Now, the NFL also charges a fee for expansion teams. This mostly has to be a guesstimate because we haven't seen one in two decades. The Texans paid $700M at the time so we can assume it would be closer to $1.5B now.

After that, you have the practice facilities and offices. Cities don't usually cover that. You might be able to get away with using local facilities for a couple of years, but that won't be enough to actually create a competitive team. A safe low-end estimate for this would be $150M. The Cowboys paid $1.5B for their facilities, but other teams have paid as low as $125M.

Finally, the last big cost is payroll. This by itself would sink any chance she has.

The NFL requires all guaranteed contracted salaries to be placed in escrow. I'm not sure where that rule came from, but I can probably guess Al Davis is to blame. A single year's salary would be $225M for 2023 and around $240M for next season.

However, most of the big name players have guarantees that would destroy that. The most common is a signing bonus. Teams love them because the salary cap rules would allow them to amortize it over the length of the contract, including "void years". Your QB would receive about $200M immediately upon signing. The expansion draft picks and early draft picks would be another $300-500M likely. In the end, the salary escrow plus bonuses would be about $500M-1B.

So assuming everything goes her way, she'd be on the hook for close to $2.5B immediately plus the reoccurring costs.

It should also be noted that the NFL isn't really a great way to make money as an owner. It's really just a long term retirement hobby for billionaires. They could just go invest in companies or whatever, but they buy NFL teams because they like football and it occupies their time. Yeah, they'll make money, but not as much as they otherwise could. There's a reason most owners hate the idea of a super-billionaire like Bezos owning a team.
