Ah, trained off that body builder forum post about days of the week I see.

We upgraded our network and had old as shit devices that now need a dumb switch hooked into our $80k or whatever cisco switches because they can’t do 10Mb lol

MX518 gang

They sent out so many Pixel 1s for that. Same exact thing happened to me.

My buddy had google support tell him to send a screenshot of his phones screen burn in. They took a good amount of convincing before they admitted that that wouldn’t work.

It’s not a meme, people genuinely get upset about this. There was a post on a lemmy about the Comptia A+ study guide that had the question “What is GNU” with the answer of “It has to do with Linux” and people were writing essays on why this was not correct.

It’s because it counts as an aircraft. Getting licenced to use your drone for anything more than “wooo, flyin mah drone” covers a lot of the same stuff a private pilot would know like reading the maps, airport landing procedure, and airspace. They treat it like an actual airplane. And you can’t just start blasting at airplanes because they flew over your house. If it’s doing more than just flying over it has to be addressed legally.

There is an edit, ebussy is referring to a gnome developer.

That’s some oblivion on xbox shit right there. Hide a restart with a loading screen.

I complained enough at my work about this that we shut off fast boot domain wide. I haven’t had to have a “I know that you just turned your computer on but I need you to restart it. No, not shutdown and turn on, restart. Yes, they are different things.” conversation in a couple years. Funnily enough I haven’t seen anyone complain about the significantly longer start up times. I guess people just expect that from windows lol.

Damn, my jeans are about the color of my state here. They got me.

Ya, this is the best video I could find to show what I’m talking about ~7min in, ignore the inspirational text if you want:

You can see the water beading up instead of absorbing, and sometimes just bouncing off completely. If the bird roused (shook) it would be pretty dry.

I have birds that I keep outside in the summer, sometimes they will just sit in the rain even though they have plenty of covered areas. All birds have an oil gland that they use to run an oil over their feathers to keep them in good order and different levels of waterproof depending on species. Most birds can sit in the rain for a while without actually getting wet.

But ya, birds can get wet and cold but they are usually adapted to their environment to not get too cold or too wet.

Pretty much all boards will either have lights, beeps, or both. OEM builds will usually have them on the front IO ports (Dell usually has A/B/C lights). I don’t think I’ve ever seen a board with nothing. Some are more cryptic than others (Lenovo has an app for their laptops that decodes the weird noises they make) but they should have something.

This one is correcting its mistake.

I don’t even need to do that. Buy bitcoin until it hits $1200, sell, buy again once it drops to like $300ish, sell when it hits $50k. Ez billions. I could have mined it in high school when it was like 10c each. Buying it would have been harder then, people were literally trading USB drives on Craigslist lol.

Ya, YouTube follows copyright law as closely as it can or it would have been sued into oblivion. I have used a few copyright songs in videos and they usually don’t get outright blocked but the song creater counts those views towards revenue and if YouTube doesn’t have a song license for a country the video is blocked in that country. YouTube tells this to the uploader.

Related, H3H3 had a huge lawsuit about fair use over video clips because YouTube would handle it the same way - leave the video up but transfer all revenue to the clip holder. H3H3 ended up winning that but the point is YouTube is extremely pro copyright, erring on the side of copyright holder in all cases until convinced otherwise.

Are you sure there is a far far smaller market? More kids than ever have devices. Not just phones or consoles, tons and tons of kids are provided chromebooks or windows laptops that they have 24/7 access to. I've blocked hundreds of sites that make it through the filter, with many sites explicitly designed to bypass school filtering. There are even widespread game trends like agar or slither games, with dozens of iterations. We grew up and have other options, but kids are playing these for hours a day.

I'm going to be honest I didn't read most of this but people do make browser games and they are very advanced. I work IT in a school and play the games I ban for a few minutes for uh, research, and I've basically played CS 1.6 in browser. I just played 1v1 fortnite clone where you could build.

Have them open Google maps if they use it and show them the timeline. That usually freaks people out a bit. Then you can say sites are doing this same tracking with their digital information or something.
