Use find instead.

accounts of a subsidiary of one of the world's largest e-commerce entities.

How to say AWS without saying AWS.

The $1000 insulin would be blamed on "Those People" who they decided to target that week.

Get a long swing out arm for the TV. Swing it 90 degrees. [LikeThis] (https://a.co/d/htnnZWA)

Even Nvidia video works out of the box without any additional drivers.

The thing with Nvidia is that although the default drivers work, they are more generic and don't take advantage of all of the features and performance of recent cards. Most people would want to load the proprietary drivers from Nvidia to take full advantage of the card.

Linux would normally include the better drivers, but Nvidia keeps them under a software license that prevents Linux distributions from bundling them.

Even with this, Ubuntu includes a tool that will download and install these drivers that they can't

You don't need any internet connection to install Ubuntu. Just use the normal install, not minimal network installer. Install from a USB stick.

Also, there's no requirement for a wire either. If that were the case, you could never install on any modern laptop.

You would need some sort of functioning network to upgrade packages or install anything not in the base image, but this would all be after installation when you have a working OS and wired or wireless won't matter.

Does this BS law make medical staff mandatory reporters? Mandatory reporting laws should go around privacy laws.

100% this. My sister had a nightmare rental experience. The rental company was sold out on gas cars and gave her a Hyundai EV.

She had to drive about 200 miles through some remote areas. When she left, the car said 300 miles. She figured 50% was a good enough buffer. She started driving and range dropped quickly. About 100 mi into the trip, it was saying 40 miles left.

She was in the middle of nowhere with spotty cell reception worried that she would be stranded in the desert. She was afraid enough to call her daughter and say, "If you don't hear from me, send help."

The only charger she could find was at a Hyundai dealer. She just made it, but had to sleep in the car until the next morning when they opened to get the car charged.

She swears never again.

Could he be trying to cause some sort of mistrial or appeal on the grounds that his lawyers we incompetent for not stopping him?

Code security is directly proportional to the amount of resources devoted to finding and fixing bugs regardless of open or closed. If nobody is maintaining the code, it doesn't matter.

One advantage with open you is that you can look at the version control to see how active the code is being maintained.

New versions of software are released because the older version was lacking in some way. Features, security, functionality.

Lowest number wins.

No, actually, enshitification will continue until the product/service dies due to everyone leaving for another product that is in one of the earlier stages of enshitification. Rinse. Repeat.

Was Florida Man flushing M80s again?

Toilets can break, fall, shatter, etc and cause injury, but generally won't explode without some help.

The Clippy Key.

Potential problems with your theory are that old people voting percentage isn't way higher than young people and that people tend to get more conservative as they age.

The boomers were the ones out protesting the Vietnam War and fighting for civil rights. Now they are the establishment and behaving the same as those who they protested in their youth.

Hopefully, the batshit craziness will die down, but there will be new conservatives to replace the ones who die off.

Use a tool to push sideways on the joints and from the component side.

Bad looking joints can still have a connection even if they look bad. If the connection has truly come loose, there will be some movement in the joint.

When we were working on surface mount boards, we would use a sewing needle and run it down the pins, and listen to the sound. The needle crossing a solid pin will make a sharp sound. If solder joint is not good, the pin moves, and you will get a duller sound. Dink, dink, dink, dut.

Not sure if just glare, but a lot of these look like one side has too little solder like you didn't use enough and/or it wasn't flowing correctly.

I have had various sticks and Roku highest end models and then got the latest ATV with hard wire port that adds Dolby vision and high frame rate HDR. I have a 2022 high-end TV.

The video quality is noticeably better. Not sure of older ATV, but this is clearly better than the top end Roku. Also, I'm not sure if it is the same on older tvs

The other thing is that you want to hard wire if at all possible. Even the best wifi can't touch the reliability of a wire

Bagpipes. One of the few instruments that can both make you cry and make you want to charge into battle.

Does anyone actually think for a second that the next republican president, no matter who it is, wouldn't pardon him?
