I had an Athlon motherboard with voice POST messages… one night I woke up to it saying “your CPU has a problem!” over and over and was freaked out until I was completely awake and figure out what was wrong.

It wasn’t high quality coming through the piezo speaker, but it was good enough.

Ironically, ChatGPT is trained from the online communities.

And without fresh data on the communities, CharGPT will soon lack the answers people seek.

Don’t forget, Kubernetes is totally happy with json input and output instead. Use json, be the change you want to see in the world!

Even if you use a data cable, it might not have the pins/wires for usb 1.1 fallback meaning a keyboard or mouse won’t work with it. Or it might support low power only. I had to buy a usbc cable tester to validate which ones might actually work with what.

My favorite is that not all chargers support all voltages. I have a few that do 5v, 9v, and 20v, but if your device asks for 12v, you’re out of luck, you either don’t get anything, or it fails back to 9v which isn’t enough to accomplish what the device wants to do (like charge). Still, it’s standards compliant!

The standard explicitly allows but doesn’t require support of any subset of standards so you never REALLY know what that cable or charger in your hand or the devices you’re holding can actually do without finding specs in docs… It’s really infuriating. The idea of USB-C is better than the reality, which makes the push to standardize on the connector not nearly as cool as it could be.

Obviously this is due to all the deep fried foods in southern cuisine.

Or he won’t because this is an old story that already has an acquittal: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-68099669

Defense Dept’s sick leave policy is that bad that he had to work while in the hospital?! Dude, take a break! The H in WFH is for Home not for Hospital!

Some of them are built so the front doesn’t fall off!

True, but TCP will just resend them, you won’t lose anything but some latency. Meaning it’s something to look into, but not something to panic about.

Can confirm, of the 6 people I know with prime, only one actually cares about the video. They all got it for shipping and easily buy enough that the free shipping paid for it, so I don’t fault them at all. Heck, I‘ve had to inform a few of them that they even get video and other services at all.

On one hand, I get why resigning really makes your opinion known and gets the point across.

On the other hand, if everyone with a conscience resigns, then what’s left? This basically just makes it certain that atrocities like this will continue.

Looks like he took the photo while running away from the lady with the shoe or the grim reaper.

Abstaining just makes everyone else’s vote worth a hair more.

the US state department accused China of “dangerous and unlawful actions”,

The EU Ambassador to the Philippines Luc Véron said described the “repetition and intensification” of incidents such as Sunday’s collisions as “dangerous and very disturbing”.

Canada’s embassy in the Philippines called China’s actions “unjustified” and said that “Continuing acts of intimidation and coercion undermine safety, stability, and security across the region, and increase the risk of miscalculation”.

I know they have to say these things, but I always wonder if they really think the other side is going to reply with: “Awe, shit, you’re right. My bad!” Like, other than posturing, what’s the point anymore?

The next one should always be “the search for more money”.

At least we moved on from everything being blockchain I guess. I was over that trend. Wonder how long AI will be a buzzword.

Stunt Driver from 1990. Played so much of it back in the day.

I once had a car salesman try to talk me out of ABS because the one on the lot didn’t have it. He literally told me “ABS? You only need that in an emergency!”

I replied with “I only need headlights at night and seatbelts in an accident but I want those, too.”

I can totally see them charging extra monthly charges or even a charge every time you activate the ABS.

This is the way

I’m guessing they claim that if no one brought the fact up and tried to sue them, it would have been swept under the rug and no one would care because everyone would have forgotten… which is dumb, but sorta makes sense. People have short memories and attention spans.

No fault means they agree to pay the fee as a shortcut to getting rid of the case, because they feel it’s cheaper for them to do so than to drag out the case… a case which MIGHT dig up some other unrelated but super juicy bits they don’t want the public to see.

As an example, let’s say Google tries to bring you to court claiming that you stole the lunch money from their employee one day. It’s like $100. But they’ve got pretty darn good lawyers, and a huge bankroll for them and you’re lucky to have your own lunch money. You say you didn’t do it, they say you did. Clearly this is going to be a huge cost for you to incur, including multiple potential years of court work, lawyer fees, missed work, bad press for you, and who knows what else. Maybe the last 20yrs of tax returns. Maybe some terrible investments people can scold you over again, etc. They agree that if you pay them $20, they’ll call it off but it won’t be a guilty plea that would go on your record as stealing. So you pay the $20, and everyone moves on. It worked out for you because you didn’t get a permanent mark on your record and waste all that time and whatever else it would have exposed and it worked for them because they got the $20.

Which sounds kinda like legal extortion in a way… hmm.
