Bad actors can afford $50 the same as good ones.

The difference between $0 and $50 isn’t really relevant.

LetsEncrypt is legit. A downside is that the certs expire after 90 days. However, that also carries an upside in that it limits the damage in case a certificate is compromised. There are procedures by which you can automatically renew/request (I forget whether they allow renewing an existing cert or require a brand new one) LE certs and apply them to your application, but that can be fiddly to configure.

If you’re not comfortable with configuring automatic certificate cycling, a long-term paid cert would be more appropriate.

It’s essentially virtue signalling, whether it’s online or offline. Since nobody is “for” serial rapists, for example (the current Republican candidate for president notwithstanding), the differentiation is being against “by what degree.” Calling for maiming, execution, torture, etc. positions the speaker as “better than” someone who doesn’t, to some people.

I ran ELIZA on a Timex/Sinclair 2068.

You know what they call a guy with no shins?

Tony.

You know enough doctors well enough to know that most of them don’t want to go to a doctor?

This is kind of like asking “why isn’t there a white history month?”

No.

For example, with a can of diet soft drink containing 200 or 300 mg of aspartame, an adult weighing 70kg would need to consume more than 9–14 cans per day to exceed the acceptable daily intake, assuming no other intake from other food sources.

It noted that aspartame is broken down in the gastrointestinal tract into metabolites that are identical to those of common foods and that no mechanism has been identified by which oral exposure to aspartame could induce cancer, thus it concluded that a link between aspartame exposure in animals and cancer could not be established.

Other benefits:

• Multiple subscription profiles, so you can organize your subscribed channels into groups. “I want to watch stuff about cars and motorcycles - I choose ‘Motoring.’”
• SponsorBlock
• No stupid recommendations to drag you into despair, hate watching, and misinformation.
• Ability to never show shorts.

Downside:

• Max 1080

That wouldn’t affect whether the existing hard drive would power off, though. It just wouldn’t recognize the new drive.

Oh and the reason you had to enter the HDD settings is because the coin-type BIOS battery died. Replace it, or you’re likely to have to do that every time you turn it on.

… No. The computer has one power supply, and old computers from PB, Gateway, Dell, would have power supplies that produced barely enough wattage to run the hardware it sold with.

You add another device, with its own power draw, and if you go over the limit of what the PSU is able to supply, something gets underpowered and misbehaves.

Using a powered hub means that the power sent to the USB device is provided by the hub, and might make it so that OEM PSU is still sufficient. Here, though, we have already added an ISA>USB card.

Another option is putting in a higher wattage PSU, but I don’t know what the connector used was on that machine. It might be hard to find something that would just plug right in.

I bought a few adapters for PATA/IDE to USB and they didn’t work. I had this weird issue where when I plugged the usb into my computer, the drive would power off. You can hear it spinning when it’s on, plug in USB, drive powers off. Unplug USB, drive powers back on. So after buying 2 different adapters, I gave up on trying to read it that way.

This sounds like the PSU doesn’t have enough watts to go around when you’re plugging in a USB device that draws power. You might be able to get USB devices to work if you use a powered USB hub.

One of the things which has helped me is consistently reminding myself that everyone is focused way more on themselves than on me, that nobody realy gives a fuck about me (with a small handful of exceptions), and that my thinking that everyone is thinking about me at all is a pretty self-centered outlook itself.

Shits.

Russia can’t take out all the “internet cables.” Presuming we’re talking about undersea cables, there are a fuckton of them. The logistics of taking out even a handful of those before the world takes action is beyond what Russia is capable of pulling off.

Even if they do manage to cut some, traffic would slow down, not stop. Then the cables would be repaired, and everyone would be more pissed at Russia than they already are.

It’s nothing more than bluff and bluster. It would be a minor setback for the world, and have huge downsides to Russia.

I hate them. Words are easy enough to misunderstand or misconstrue. Emojis take that to an entire other level.

That’s an aftermarket CD drive, definitely installed long after purchase.

… he KNEW he lost the black vote. And he’s right.

Are you sure?
