Guillotine baiters

I don’t see many users upgrading the memory on a laptop like this either but would criticize soldered RAM based on the aspect of repairability. T14s are often used in business which means hundreds of machines handled by IT departments. Boards will die and technicians will throw them out including the RAM. Now granted most companies don’t bother with hardware repairs anyway but somewhere down the chain someone will have these machines on their workbench and the easier it is to fix them up the better.

You got the perfect time. My rhythm is to get up, go to work, come home and nap for 20-45min so I can then tackle the rest of the day. It’s like a soft reset.

He’s trying to connect going out and meeting people with the beer but the beer isn’t the part that helps your mental health here. It’s the socializing.

People are currently socializing less because social media is a (very crappy) substitute that is effortlessly accessible. I call it the fentanyl of social interaction. It’s cheap and easy to access but the result is worse on all levels.

Take this conversation as an example. I reply to your comment and we’re having a social interaction that might satisfy the need for human connection to a certain (very small) degree but nothing else will come of it. We most likely won’t ever interact with eachother again. If instead we’d go out and discuss things with people in person we might actually make friends. Form lasting connections. Now I’m fine with my social life at the moment but if I wasn’t I’d have a hard time changing it because people my age just don’t go out much these days. Making friends got a lot harder than it used to be.

All crappy IoT devices ever made. They aren’t used in bot nets all the time because hackers like the challenge of hacking them so much. Security simply isn’t a priority.

Since we know he doesn’t mess with science/empirical data…how did he get that information?

supporting himself part-time as a kitchenware courier

is that even a real thing?

I better not wear my Allah loves to scissor shirt in Morocco then.

I’m one step ahead of ya in life.

Are you trying to trick tech companies into being useful? That’ll upset them.

The only thing that can stop a bad guy with fart spray is a good guy with fart spray.

Didn’t know we needed an Albanian minister AI that keeps diverting funds into Adidas sweat pants and Mercedes Benz cars even though it doesn’t have a body.

I’m a sys admin in the public sector and the hardware requirements of W11 are a great blessing. I couldn’t have convinced thousands of workers to switch to Linux and get used to another GUI but this forces it on us because there simply is no money to replace all that hardware. Rolling out Mint clients and between this and mobile operating systems Microsoft is finally losing its monopoly on the OS market.

Wouldn’t even be surprised if vietnamese use scientific methods to test the authenticity of the rhino horn in a lab to then proceed and ignore all scientific evidence that it doesn’t do shit to treat their hangover.

It must be good though, otherwise TikTok would face mayor backlash if the platform shows more illegal content.

surely

Microsoft burying the steaming pile of poop that is teams will be enough to “offset” all their data centers.

He’s there when you really don’t want him to be but when you want him he’ll be lying in his own vomit on that burger king parking lot.

But the donations are only necessary because of inflated salaries. It’s like saying we have to pay this pastry chef because the pastry chef loves to eat their own cake. They’re just feeding themselves.

The cost of server infrastructure is comparatively tiny so if they’d run it lean it’d have enough cash to last ages already. Also posting a banner on their site with massive reach isn’t exactly rocket surgery.

I know there are worse things but I strongly dislike nonprofits wasting donation money.

on the one hand they make some valid points on the other hand it’s a little disgusting how much wikipedia execs get payed and how sweaty they get when they worry about having to pay content moderators. currently they just pocket most of the donations they get but with increased running costs that would get harder.

don’t get me wrong, wikipedia is an important project and they deserve fair compensation but grabbing $700k per year for managing it seems a bit steep eh? it’s not like they’re forging new business strategies and conquering markets. they have a very simple concept and just keep it running. a post it note on the ceo door with “keep going lads” on it might outperform them and save some money.

Put mercenaries on the list. They get hired to guard some excavation. A chill job the recruiter told them.

Lara overhears them talk about going home to their families as she sneaks up and brutally murders them with her ice axe one by one until the ruins are flooded with blood. It’s all self defense.
