  • This is my favorite way to deal with management.

    So you want me to disable a safety feature to help speed up production?

  • Dreams? What about when it locks up and plays a virtual 200db 5khz tone for the rest of your life?

  • I once had a 200" Sony CRT projector. It had a grid of at least 20 trimpots for adjusting the picture on each of the tubes (RGB) and after 45min to an hour of warming up and tweaking it was an unbelievable picture. Then a 300v DC rail shorted to some logic level stuff and it caught fire :(

  • I leeched when I was on limited bandwidth now I am the sole peer for about a dozen hard to find torrents. Balance in all things.

  • I don't know the standard but if Google is involved you know they are going to be pushing people to use their own 'extensions' of the standard to lock both the hosts and users into their ecosystem. It's the same thing as Microsoft's ActiveX making sites IE only in the early 2000s.

  • Across all wages combined? What if you just look at people who make <100k?

  • Most people don't have the manual dexterity or mechanical intuition to get into trades. Millwrighting, welding, plumbing and electrician-ing all require a person who is clever enough to understand and repair equipment that they have only just seen. Most people have a hard time applying a screen protector for a phone they have owned for months.

    Domestic manufacturing is where Canada/USA should be aiming to create jobs. All skill levels are required and automated facilities still need humans. The positions are a lot more varied now, with most tasks being those that would require expensive vision systems or minor problem solving. Domestic manufacturing might help with some of the bull shit global supply chain issues as well.

  • The sites are broken, FireFox doesn't break them. They make the choice to use non-standard features.

  • I run Deb testing, in the spring a change in Pipewire broke sleep/suspend for me, the upgrade came along with 100 other package upgrades. It took FOREVER to roll back just the right packages to the point where everything worked again, 0/10 would not recommend.

  • It was spelled out more clearly in the comics. They even trained human minds to do tasks that the machines could not/did not want to do.

  • So do I, it just hurts sometimes.

  • X86_64 It's an Acer H340, it originally ran windows home server starting in 2009 but I switched to Debian in 2016. It has run the entire 14 years less about a week of power outages.

  • I suspect that the wealthy spend more on EVERYTHING than the homeless.

  • Commuting, laundry, yard work, cooking/baking, dishes, shopping, pretty much any task that doesn't require talking or reading.

  • I love an IPA but you need to have a pallet cleanser from time to time. I'm a big fan of 'Purity Law' beers, they tend to be predictable, mellow flavour, and light to medium alcohol content. Perfect for lawn mowing, BBQing, or working on the car.

  • After 500M net worth, security becomes a personal matter and protection of the law is lost. Murder of billionaire becomes legal and their assets are the bounty. They can sink their money into a personal army OR roll all excess over 500M into voluntary taxes!

  • Shit, I just realized my NAS is less powerful than a modern Pi. It's only a dual core, 1.6GHz Atom with 1.8GB ram.
