  • If by graphics card you mean 3D hardware acceleration, then it was a Canopus Pure 3D. It was equivalent to the first Voodoo add-in card but IIRC it had 6 MB of RAM instead of 4. It wasn't a standalone card so it had a VGA passthrough from your 2D card when it wasn't active.

    As for 2D cards, idk. Unless it was pro reference grade like Matrox I don't remember EGA and CGA cards being branded.

  • Fuck driving. You'd be lucky to get me off the couch. 😆

    Obviously ACAB, but...I have known a few jackasses who thought nothing of driving while high. Just don't. And don't reply to me about how you "know your tolerance" or that you can "handle it". Fuck you, you're impaired. Don't do it.

  • I can't speak to Bluetooth as I don't know much about it from a software development perspective, but when I first started working with USB I was surprised to find that the hardware is really simple but there's a ton of software that makes it work. Specifications evolve over time to add features or improve efficiency. This neccesitates code changes, and those code changes have to be made at both ends of the connection if you want the devices to continue to be able to talk to each other. Aside from maintaining the interface code, there are probably also changes and improvements to the device itself. Thus, firmware updates. Make sense?

  • Good advice on balance, but we're a small company. In addition to being SSE I'm also what passes for IT. 😆

  • DOM me daddy ✌🏻

  • Would that be pronounced KED or KWED I wonder? Or maybe just a large belch. 😆

  • How do you find these numbers?

    Edit #2:

    BTW, this was easy to find in the default interface for my instance (Settings > Block tab) but I still can't find it on Photon. 😆

  • That's fine as long as you don't spell out the periods. 😆

    By the by, I'd love to be the guy with the confidence to end an argument with "thus it is proven". That'd be epic. I think I've only ever used QED humorously or ironically.

  • Ha serves me right ✌🏻

  • So many things. In written form, I hate when someone writes "Period." after they make a point to mean "this can't be argued" or whatever. My good bitch, I don't think you understand how arguing works. 😆

    "Full stop" is a close second.

  • I did, for all the fucking good it'll do.

  • Someone emailed my boss a while back pretending to be me. Asked that my direct deposit be changed. Boss told me he nearly sent it to the accountant but decided he should double check with me first. People are assholes.

  • I ran into this today using ssh-copy-id on a new Debian box. Seems like that tool is biased toward copying a second key instead of a first. Either that or they assume most users use one key pair everywhere (and thus only have one loaded in their agent). I use one key pair per user per box. Excessive? 🤔
