Using computers and also having to deal with their problems is still far more betterer than not using computers at all.

I’ve been to Dallas, and I’ve been to San Antonio, but I have not been to Houston.

Authority, story, escalatory — I think you might be a rapper.

Edit: I also just noticed the pairing of ‘fascist’ and ‘nationalistic’ which I like very much.

Let me see what I can do.

A “debtor” is a company or person who owes money. I would assume that by “corporation,” they mean “the ‘corporation’ which is both you and not you.” So let’s call that “Someone who owes money.”

A “creditor” is a company or person to whom money is owed.

I believe that “individual agent” is referring back to the “person,” while the “straw man” is the imaginary magical –

You know, fuck it, I can’t even.

It’s possible that the Ark could have generated enough static electricity to give you a shock on the order of rubbing your feet on the carpet and then touching a door knob. Maybe.

For the passers-by, in very simple terms:

A switch maintains a list of the IPs and MAC addresses of devices attached to it (ARP [Address Resolution Protocol] table). When a packet comes into the switch for a specific destination IP, the switch looks up on the ARP table where that destination IP can be found, and only sends the packet out on the port the destination device (or next hop towards that device) is connected to.

A hub doesn’t do any of that. Every packet that comes into the hub gets sent out of every port on the hub, to every device connected to the hub. It’s on the connected devices’ to discard packets that aren’t addressed to them. On anything but a very small and relatively slow network, this would create an unnecessarily large amount of traffic, not to mention the security issue around sending packets to devices they’re not addressed to.

If your use case is “pretty simple,” you’re unlikely to have problems with any operating system.

How much time do we waste on car problems? Neighbor problems? Political problems? Grocery problems?

This is why we have zoning laws, folks.

I’d intercept me.

I watch a lot of car revival channels, and my favorite is Sleeperdude, because it’s the whole family working together to do it, and that’s definitely a big part of the charm of the show.

Also Josh is really good at what he does.

No, it’s responding to your comment suggesting something different by giving you something different. It has no idea what’s correct or incorrect. You do, so when you give it input that you know is more correct, of course it’s going to respond by telling you you’re right.

Try feeding it incorrect answers as though they are correct and see what happens.

I posted the other day about how this recent SCOTUS ruling is America’s Enabling Act. And it looks like they might skip right over the Reichstag Fire and go straight to Long Knives.

It’s also possible to have Windows log in as a specific user at boot, without user input. Regardless of operating system, your logged on session is in the context of some user account, whether you interactively log in or the system does it for you.

The PIN is stored locally on the machine only. It doesn’t get synced with anything anywhere. It’s actually much safer to use a PIN for authentication because it’s four digits that you (well, maybe not you) don’t have to write down, and the only time it works is on the physical machine. The user account password can be long and/or complex, but if you’re only ever authenticating at the keyboard, all you have to remember is the PIN.

Now that’s etiquette.

The Breakfast Gun goes on whichever side the diner’s firing hand is.

Edits below!

After some discussion and reflection, I agree with @Zachariah@lemmy.world that the Breakfast Gun would indeed go on the left, “to show you plan for a peaceful meal.”

Furthermore, presentation of Firearms depends on the level of dining:

At a polite table, guests are expected to lay their Meal Arms down holstered, so as not to soil the table linens. Placing a Meal Arm directly on the tablecloth is a sign of disrespect.

At a formal table, a Firearm Napkin will be provided for each diner. This allows diners to display their Meal Arms openly without soiling the linens.

At a “high table,” Meal Arms will be provided by the host. These Arms, while fully functional, are adorned with many engravings and flourishes, as a demonstration of the host’s status, and the diner’s status as a guest at the table.
