Will not face charges in a court of law.

The law exists to avoid mob rule. When the law completely abandons any pretense of justice, that's when mobs become emboldened by necessity.

I mean... Watch the video? It uses 64 fucking cores when available. It's a heavily multithreaded game.

Jump to the 3 minute mark.

I love that the game is such a CPU hogging mess that LTT used it to test over clocking a brand new AMD thread ripper and the game still ran like garbage even on one of the fastest and most multithreaded CPUs that exist.

I love Cities Skylines but whatever is happening in 2 is a three alarm fire and needs to be fixed.

Explorer Patcher if you need a vertical taskbar. Otherwise MS has been gradually adding the most requested features.

Not justifying what's missing, but a lot of people didn't understand just how big an overhaul they performed on the core UI. Explorer file manager and the main taskbar GUI have both updated, and the taskbar GUI is a new one from scratch that carries over 98% of features.

This kind of deeper update was long overdue, and makes the experience using 11 on a mixed use tablet a lot nicer frankly, bringing 11 closer to a unified tablet/desktop OS as it needs to be.

Look into it more. It's incredibly common, and the voltage from a small generator in your yard, yes in theory, could leak to neighbors. However electricity follows the shortest path to ground. So if your home is drawing it, you will basically prevent that leakage. If you do fire it up, but use nothing, you may partially leak current to your neighbors (and potentially be liable for damages if your little backyard Honda or generac has a power spike at some point)

And the danger to to the linemen doing repair isn't the voltage necessarily (house current of 120v is not remotely high enough amperage to cause instant death. You can stick a fork in an outlet and try it) it is that you may suddenly electrify lines they are working on while suspended. If you charge the line, maybe you shock them and they have an accident. Or worse, your charged line creates enough of a charge differential that during the repair the much higher voltage electricity they have not isolated yet may bridge the air gap because you've energized the "dead" side prematurely.

In reality, most electricians and linemen are careful of this because of this exact reason. But it did harm a few people before moron's use of these things became common knowledge. Prior to these kinds of cables being commonly marketed for this, a lineman could hop up and reconnect you faster because there was an assumption they had full control of the current pathways. Now that's a toss up. This isn't a recent thing either, but it's becoming more common.

*tale as old as time... *

"XP is ruining windows with their damn duplo looking themes and primary colors. Pry 98 SE from my cold dead hands"

*true as it can be... *

"Windows 7 was the last time Microsoft cared, and 8.1 and 10 are regressions in every way. You'll pry it from my cold dead hands"

"Windows X9 Delta was the final version when MicroAmazon cared about holographic interfaces. I'll never use Windows X10 Gamma."

Ob it's far stupider and more deadly: hooking up your personal little generator so you can backfeed electricity to your house during a power outage.

It's even more stupid and deadly than it sounds.

More of the same here. This is extremely depressing news.

It sucks that running a successful business can never be enough.

Prepare for Pi to start going closed source and fighting against "copycat" SBC boards. It'll take a generation to see the enshittification set in, but Orange Pi and other similar projects are going to be the winners in a strictly profit based comparison.

More to the point: the bean counters running the company need to be replaced with engineers who know what it is this company is doing and what they build. It's not an overnight fix, but so long as the C-suite is trying to go "lean and mean" every 5-10 years, this will happen again and cost lives.

Okay, now do it when the phone is broken.

The average Israeli citizen has been fed propaganda that rivals Russia since day one framing all their nations actions as defensive and necessary. And (broadly speaking) until this war only a few states would argue against this.

It also goes deeper than I initially knew, and Israeli schools and Israeli media fully include Gaza and the west bank wholly as part of Israeli, leading to a belief it is "occupied" by Palestinians, as well as teaching and reporting on Palestine only as terrorists, while enforcing this apartheid state.

So you have now generations of Israelis raised on this, gleefully committing war crimes because they believe it is rightful and just because the Palestinians are all Hamas. Yes even the children.

The level of Propaganda and how successful it has been is horrifying. This was the deliberate goal of the extreme Zionists in Israel, and their success means horrifying things for the world.

To bad duolingo has killed all these features and replaced them with bots.

Respectfully, I don't think one can just suggest a solution to what is fundamentally problem of decades of economic propaganda and miseducation. The number of morons that believe in Adam Smith and market self-corrections like they are forces as natural as the tide is truly staggering insane, ansld is a direct result of generations of neoliberalism seeping into education.

There's no easy solution. There's hardly a hard solution at this point. The solution is to make memes, and to yell, and to make the issue so readily apparent it can be unavoidable and understood by these very same people let down by their education. So subreddits memeing is good, overall.

Are you implying that the US, and the Roman's, never had a period of growth and expansion that wasn't late stage capitalist rot?

The comment isn't saying this never happens really, it's saying it doesn't have to. This is capitalism with no guardrails.

I like jellyfin too as an option. But my parents and relatives and friends do not have jellyfin apps or ease of library sharing via jellyfin.

Watch https://diskprices.com/ and Amazon.com for lightning deals. Check any good deals against their historic lows. That's how I got my 12tb and 20tb drives for way cheaper than they regularly go for.

That said, drives are a commodity and you will ha E to spend proportional to the space you want.

This is not only a good way to handle media, it's one of the best.

It blows my goddamn mind that TV manufacturers didn't develop a streaming portal "endpoint" player and band together to require content from Netflix/Hulu/etc meet that standard for delivery. It's made TVs just app boxes.

Can you just imagine being able to see what is available on all services from one interface, all at once, and then start a stream of it seamlessly from whichever you movie profile page you have access to?

Instead we have half-assed lookup apps in some TVs that even when they find it a film then just launch a separate app.

Build a good Plex library and never look back. Buy Blurays and DVDs and lookup how to automate good handbrake encoding. Once you know how, you can honest to god automate most of it, and in my case, I have it auto-launch and rip any disc if it detects a Blu-ray film or DVD film and drop the resulting file in my NAS storage to be sorted. Blurays drives are cheap too now, so you can buy 2-3 and dump a whole library in just a few days.

That is probably a slam dunk (minor) discrimination lawsuit. Your circumstances of birth, including the date, are not something you can be judged for.

Follow up with your ID or Birth certificate and ask "Excuse me?"

I've heard Joplin is good. Also Obsidian is apparently amazing with plug-ins. I'm leaning towards Obsidian myself. But between Google and MS, I figured Keep and Evernote would've been impossible to challenge.
