You are conflating layer 1 technologies (shielded or unshielded twisted pair, CAT3 through CAT7) with layer 2 technologies (Ethernet).

Layer one is the physical media itself. Alternatively some modern-day L1s are MoCA, Powerline, WiFi, fiber, and of course, 1000BaseT, whose standard specifies CAT5e or higher STP.

Layer two is how those bits get sent in that media. Ethernet is, by and far, the most familiar L2.

And then layer three is where we get to networking and start talking about IP addresses (IP being the most familiar L3).

Sorry thought it was well-known enough without additional context (talking about switch in gaming community). I was going to mention this was 2020 for added context because ACNH launch was exceptionally huge because of Covid lockdowns.

Sharing isn’t the problem. 4 year olds aren’t the most responsible or capable of keeping track of small objects.

I can’t tell you the places I’ve found Odyssey, and that’s his favorite game. And 3D All Stars is completely missing, which I’m still really upset about.

They gonna fix sharing digital games with family members? Or do I have to keep cartridges around so my 4yo can pop them out and lose them?

Crazy to think that when I bought a lot of my digital games, I wouldn’t have expected a second kid who wants to play them on a separate switch. Now my saves are all fucked because he’s gotta play them on my profile on the second switch. I bought that switch because my wife and I both wanted to play ACNH, which was also bullshit. And then I got stuck with the Lite because we couldn’t migrate her island over, which was also bullshit.

There’s no reason we can’t share digital libraries with households. Amazon does it.

How far you wanna go with this?

Your shell itself is actually a docker container that just runs bash and mounts the root filesystem, and everything in /bin is just an alias to a dedicated minimal container?

It was four words dude. I know it hurts, but try reading all of them.

The way I see it, Biden has to give 110% and keep everything close to the chest just to keep the right from having more ammo that he’s too old and feeble to be president by the 2024 election.

I have a funny feeling that if Biden were to win 2024, he’d probably spend nearly the entirety of the term with his VP doing most of the work and him sitting back and being more advisory. President is a tough job. Biden is in great shape but 4 years of that is a tough gig on any body.

This will build Harris’s profile for a run in 2028. If successful in 2028 and 2032 she’d effectively be a 3-term president, just one of those terms with Biden holding the bike seat.

He can’t hear what she’s asking.

Hence the “what”.

Also it’s a grammatical horror show. So that doesn’t help either.

I’m just imagining a not-so-distant future where there’s $200 set-top boxes that can hook up to any HDMI port and have a current-gen cloud console and a nearly fully functional PC. Or cloud laptops that have W365 bundled in as part of a 5G service.

My suspicion is that home installations will still be available at retail or OEM channels.

The subscription likely applies more to enterprise and possibly Windows 365. Enterprise licensing is a mess which might actually be simplified by a subscription pay-what-you-actually-use model.

Also it’s be cool to see windows 365 come to consumers as an alternative to a full PC. Would be able to standardize on home thin-client builds, or possibly add it as a feature to the Xbox Platform.

And that’s why it suits the Democratic Party to tone down the progressive wing and focus on attracting moderates. If Donald breaks his party in two, then we’ll have a repeat of Perot in 96 or Nader in 2000. In both cases there were plenty of votes for the alternative candidate just in a few key districts that would have totally flipped those respective elections had they gone to the first-party candidate more closely aligned with them.

If we need more parties and more voices, then we need voting reform. FPTP always devolves down to two primary parties. Any secondary party would just be spoiler candidates.

Trump is splintering his party though. Progress can’t happen as long as he’s around, Democrats have to pick up “moderates” (on the US Scale) and that puts everything else on pause. Pushing a progressive agenda now would just amplify Trump and potentially pull those moderates to him.

Ask Toy Story Football.

What an embarrassment that was. I hope it got better, I could only bear like half of the first quarter.

Getting off on backs is tight.

Most the shows he listed he’s giving examples of existing shows. And actually, his Police Procedural sounds exactly like the Peacock-Original “Poker Face”, except without Jedi…lead character (Natasha Lyone) is essentially a human lie detector. Great easy-watching bingable crime-comedy, IMO.

My kid was on a tee ball team with the coaches youngest son. The coaches two older sons were assistant coaches and the youngest was named “Maverick”.

Like, yeah, that kids set up to become an MLB Superstar. Or at least a washed-up alcoholic former Double-A in player.

Funny story, specifically on the name “Idaho”, from Wikipedia’s article on the state, “Etymology” Section:

The name's origin remains a mystery.[9] In the early 1860s, when the U.S. Congress was considering organizing a new territory in the Rocky Mountains, the name "Idaho" was suggested by George M. Willing, a politician posing as an unrecognized delegate from the unofficial Jefferson Territory.[10] Willing claimed that the name was derived from a Shoshone term meaning "the sun comes from the mountains" or "gem of the mountains",[11] but it was revealed later that there was no such term and Willing claimed that he had been inspired to coin the name when he met a little girl named Ida.[12] Since the name appeared to be fabricated, the U.S. Congress ultimately decided to name the area Colorado Territory instead when it was created in February 1861, but by the time this decision was made, the town of Idaho Springs, Colorado had already been named after Willing's proposal.

The same year Congress created Colorado Territory, a county called Idaho County was created in eastern Washington Territory. The county was named after a steamship named Idaho, which was launched on the Columbia River in 1860. It is unclear whether the steamship was named before or after Willing's claim was revealed. Regardless, part of Washington Territory, including Idaho County, was used to create Idaho Territory in 1863.[13] Idaho Territory would later change its boundaries to the area that became the U.S. state.[14]

Martini. Marti for short, which has the benefit of being ungendered.

He had one on jukeboxes a long time ago, I think. Not quite a game but still coin-op.
