  • Oh, so this is why they put the hobbyists last in line when the 'shortage' happened. They prioritize companies to look better to the stock market. For some reason I thought they were non-profit but I guess if that was ever true it's not now. I have to imagine this won't be good for the average pi enjoyer.

  • https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguish in 1998, Bill Gates stated: "One thing we have got to change in our strategy – allowing Office documents to be rendered very well by other people's browsers is one of the most destructive things we could do to the company. We have to stop putting any effort into this and make sure that Office documents very well depends on PROPRIETARY IE capabilities. Anything else is suicide for our platform. This is a case where Office has to avoid doing something to destory [sic] Windows."

    Not just Gates, but all higher ups at Microsoft think this way. It's kind of naive to think Xbox would be different IMHO.

  • Microsoft has always been more than happy to make the market smaller by buying the competition and discontinuing their products shortly after. For some reason people didn't think Xbox would do the same?

  • Ok, but for real is it any good? I bought some cheap stuff for my hiking first aid kit and it doesn't stick worth a damn.

  • The average American is 38.x years old. There are a lot of children, but the olds still run this country. China is around 37, Germany is around 39. I don't think that 25% of America listens to AM broadcasts on a regular basis, but I do think at least 1/4 of the population thinks it should still exist.

  • I had MRSA once, it's so easy to spread and there is zero doubt in my mind that it could be weaponized. Criminal investigations are necessary after TWO whistleblowers are offed. I'm not holding my breath though. Boeing is too entrenched in the MIP to be investigated in any real sense of the word.

  • Absolutely disgusting. The perpetrators should be in solitary confinement for abusing some of the most vulnerable members of society.

  • I am also an IT nerd that hikes as much as I can, when the weather permits. Too many of my local trails have decent reception so I have to just forget my phone exists for a while.

  • I mean, you're right but I still want to see a modernized plan 9, I just think it would be neat.

  • This is why I don't love snaps, proprietary backend. I think snaps actually work great for the most part, and flatpaks don't support cli apps, only GUI.

  • I think we should just resurrect Plan 9 instead.

  • That's my wifi SSID

  • Marriage material TBH

  • They didn't have a sign posted, so I figured I was safe.

  • I have one of these in a box somewhere, maybe I should dig it out and see if the battery is still good.

  • I actually did this in my early 20s. Girlfriend at the time got super drunk super fast so I had to stay sober to drive us home.

  • Whoops

  • Laptop screws are usually JIS instead of Philips. Get a JIS screwdriver and you won't have that issue in the future.

  • I have found that different USB adapters will vary wildly in their max volume and sound quality. I bought a Google branded one from a local retail store and it kind of sucks. I ordered a higher end one and it gets louder and sounds better at high volume.
