roff? Ha poser! I use CTSS /s

Nah, I hand code my postscript on magnetic core memory with a geomag stud.

I usually refrain from uttering what could be construed as death threats. So I will continue my streak and mention that this seems more like an event that should be catered by C. L. Aymore and associates.

Let me put it like this, I know I’ve seen more than one season, but how many and I don’t plan on watching anymore

The lawnmower was collateral damage, but the resulting edge trimmers meowing for snacks are scary.

I want to believe, I really do. But I fear that the crypto apps people have grown dependent on will make it harder than the desktop battle. And IDK but I seem to recall every year since at least 2001 being proclaimed to be the year of the Linux desktop.

I rely on my banking apps (plural), governmental email app, government authentificator app and the governmental LMS app for public schools to make my everyday function. And the last time I tried just a custom ROM, those apps refused to run.

And here I thought I had it all figured out. But it does make sense. Doing it with an analog signal introduces noise and measuring pulse widths is going to be simpler.

Except that wasn’t a serial port, it was midi, and the reason it was on the sound card was because the input was analog.

Your joystick was just two fancy potentiometers, and your soundcard decoded the voltage on the middle legs into a position.

Soundcards handled joysticks because they had the fastest ADCs.

That’s the other guy that said that, the taliban follows a different guy who wandered about a desert.

It’s standard in Germany to sit when pissing.

I’m north of the border. Here it’s apparently standard not to use the urinals either, but men will walk into the booths and still piss standing.

Then why do we use them on our assholes?

The epithelial cells keep reproducing, so any cells your tear off while wiping gets replaced.

But I still concur: it’s 2025, we sent people to the moon almost 60 years ago, we built a world wide computer network, and I can watch porn on a little plastic rectangle, using wireless headphones, so nobody notices that I’m jerking off on the bus (ok, that last part isn’t true, they definitely did notice, and I’m not allowed to drive the school bus anymore /s) … still though, we’ve come so far, and we’re still wiping our asses with dried tree mush? Wtf? At least we’re not using the toilet brush like the Romans, but how about we tried something other than scraping feces from our skin? Maybe a build in bidet? I have never found them in the wild, but when I do, I can guarantee that I’m trying out the warm water and blow dryer options… Maybe while using my wireless headphones and plastic rectangle ;-)

Are we stupid? (don’t answer that)

Yes (sorry, too stupid to understand rhetorical questions)

Extrapolating from pop science of the late 90s, drinking olive will make you immortal. Wash down some Provence herb seasoned whale blubber with copious amounts of red wine, between swiggs of olive oil, and you’ll never have to deal with Alzheimers or the flu either.

Trump would never! /s

At least not as long as Zelensky helps Trump find 10000 votes Hilary’s emails dirt on Hunter Biden

You forgot the phase immediately preceding AI: 3d prints.

I mean, in this decade, I’ve heard of car and airplanes being marketed as having 3d printed parts.

IDK why you’re getting down voted, you’re right.

Besides how would such a filter even work? I mean dropping all packets to specific IP addresses will lead to chaos with any organization that uses NAT or GCNAT.

Sure, you can circumvent getting your own IP address banned, by using a tunnel, but then your tunnel gateway is the one to get banned instead. End to end encryption won’t solve the problem. Unless we actually setup a system like tor, and don’t leave our own network. But that would be pretty easy to squash, wouldn’t it? I mean a network only set up for piracy, it will get it’s main operators taken down pretty fast.

On cold winter days, we can average 6kW over 24h, but peak is more like 10 I’d 13. Not talking just about my space heaters with embedded computing power and TBs of storage, but the whole household.

Wow, the US education system must be improved.

I pay my electric bill by the kWh too, and I don’t live in the US. When it comes to household and EV energy consumption, kWh is the unit of choice.

1J is 3600Wh.

No, if you’re going to lecture people on this, at least be right about facts. 1W is 1J/s. So multiply by an hour and you get 1Wh = 3600J

That’s literraly the same thing,

It’s not literally the same thing. The two units are linearly proportional to each other, but they’re not the same. If they were the same, then this discussion would be rather silly.

but the name is less confusing because people tend to confuse W and Wh

Finally, something I can agree with. But that’s only because physics is so undervalued in most educational systems.

Fuck me, I didn’t notice it was tankie country, I swear one of these days I’m gonna block that entire instance from my feed

Edit: whoops, I missed the “il” part in “not illegal”. Anyway you should definitely not do the following. Allegedly doing the following would be arson, and society frowns upon such things.

Easy:

1. Identify company
2. Wait until it’s a weekend night. We’re not after the wage slaves after all.
3. Mix polystyrene and gasoline. Remember that gasoline can melt some plastics, so if using a plastic container for mixing do a test first. You do not want napalm all over the place.
4. Fill the gooey substance in glass bottles.
5. Cap the bottles. (see #7)
6. Drive to the company.
7. Open bottles and put wicks in them. (important not to do this earlier. Driving with open gasoline containers in your car will make you drowsy and is a fire hazard)
8. If you haven’t already got gloves on, put them on and wipe down the bottles - you may have to leave some at some point.
9. Have accomplices trigger fire alarms all over the local fire department’s district. Either automatic fire alarms will be discarded for a bit or the marshall will be tied up investigating.
10. Light a wick, throw the bottle at the company, try to get it to break a window.
11. If you’re out of bottles or you see blue lights cheese it. Otherwise go back a step and repeat it.

Not much wallpaper used in my house. But I do have some drywall that’s protected with a simple woven glasfiber.
