There was a story series on that other site that went indepth with this (Just without the Star Trek part) I forgot what it was called, Don’t Fuck with the Humans or something like that
Well a well written law would be able to deal with that, but even if my idea had a chance of becoming law, its final text probably would be loopholed to death unfortunately
I’ve seriously looked into picking one of these dead languages up and honestly, it’s not worth it.
Biggest issue is, you have to be experienced to some degree before you get the name your price levels. So you’ll have to take regular ol average programmer pay (at best) for a language that’s a nightmare in 2023. Your sanity is at heavy risk.
I’d honestly rather bash my head with assembly, it’s still very much in use these days in a modern way. Most programs still get compiled into it anyway (Albeit to a far more complicated instruction set than in the past) and can still land some well paid positions for not a whole lot of experience (relatively)
I seem to see this “powered by Admiral” popup on lots of other websites.
Whatever this Admiral company tech is, it’s the only one that’s been able to detect my Ad blocking in a long time, has anyone been able to defeat it yet?
I see your point, but unfortunately, there’s lots of proprietary old software that has been abandoned by the original company (Either because they went out of business or just moved on) that’s still in active use and the source never released.
There was just an article on Lemmy a few weeks ago on how multi-million dollar research facilities still have to use ancient software to run critical scientific machines. Although in that particular case they had to maintain old PCs as well because of proprietary drivers
Yea, there’s a lot of (well deserved) shitting on Windows, but it’s backwards compatibility is second to none. Not even Linux can give you a >70% chance that a piece of software or game you need/want from 1995 will still run (provided it’s not 16bit only or needs a proprietary driver lmao) on a modern version of the OS
Months ago I wanted to run a lot of my old childhood games (mostly between 94 and 2001 release dates) for my own kids and I found most of them still installed and ran right out of the box on fully updated Win10, a lot of the rest required some fiddling with compatibility settings and the rest just didn’t work because they were 16 bit only (You can still get them working natively if you install 32 bit Win10, but subjecting children to <4gb RAM is abuse) or some other weird issue so I fell back to ScummVM/DosBox for those
When they established communications with Starfleet again and got the letter that Mark moved on she was just like “Meh, I knew he would probably move on” lmfao
Well he made a coffee substitute, but it was a sludge like consistency, but I don’t remember her drinking it. Neelix poured it and she saw the sludge but then got called to the bridge
Also assuming this computer doesn’t have an OEM motherboard which will likely have a BIOS/UEFI key and automatically reactivated windows during install
I transitioned to using it primarily for Sonarr and Radarr for TV and Movies. Its mostly a set and forget it if you choose the right providers and indexers.
I don’t sail the Music sea because Spotify has filled all my needs for the price, same for the Gaming sea because of Game Pass.
Software, I usually just look around for freeware/open source alternatives or pay for it if it’s of quality and worth the price.
I am, but I disabled the xfinitywifi right out of the box.
Although it wouldn’t surprise me if it “spontaneously” reactivated itself, but even if it did (and Crapcast can be trusted on what they say on this) it’s supposed to be isolated to the point that it gets its own assigned IP separate from what is assigned to your connection
I really haven’t had DMCA issues on my Usenet providers, but you do gotta be choosy, iirc the biggest ones you probably subbed to won’t ignore DMCA
Does nobody who says this remember their days in highschool?
Let’s say a bedtime of 9
School gets out at 3
Allot about 2 hours for homework, it’s now 5
Allot an hour for dinner, it’s 6
Congratulations! A kid has a whopping 3 hours of free time per weekday to enjoy the last few years of childhood. These are even relatively conservative numbers, HW could easily stretch into 3-4+ hours with an AP class or a particularly HW heavy teacher leaving a whole hour of free time! How wonderful.
Oops wait, a strict parent(s) now adds an additional hour for household chores, ah well so much for free time.
them since they really can’t affect when their school starts.
Don’t be angry at me that that’s how it is. I didn’t make it so.
Well duh. As adults, authority figures and parents that’s our job to push for these things and get it done for them. Just because we had to suffer through it doesn’t mean the status quo should remain the same. That’s the same BS “pull up the ladder behind me” attitude that’s affecting so many other things.
Honestly, if you’re in love with the house and you really want it, go for it, try to get them to cover as much as you can. At least you are somewhat aware of what you’re getting into, but beware these kinds of things have a tendency to balloon in costs. What starts out as 15k in estimated costs could easily end up being 25k by the time everything’s done.
If you’re not that attached to it if it’s “Just a house” to you, try to get them to cover the full cost of repairs, if they say no walk away. In the US price cuts have already started happening, houses are sitting on the market longer and longer again. On top of that, you said you’re buying for 85k + 15k for repairs that ends up being 100k and you can get a much better maintained house for 100k? I’d take that option if it were me and save myself the headache.
…how? The only acceptable one (Even though I personally don’t like it) is cash.
Fax sucks ass and should have been put in the grave LONG ago, Flash drives are superior to Floppy in every way and fuck paper filing, digitized paperwork is far superior.
Same, they’re also one of the few Android smartphone companies left that actually allow you to somewhat easily unlock your bootloader. Your only other option is OnePlus (Which has taken a nosedive in the last few years) or some random Chinese brand that you have to pay all cash for and import
I think people are just pissed that this is what’s become of the company whose motto used to be “Do no evil” and actually practiced it.
Realistically, they aren’t doing anything that much worse than any other Big Tech company is doing or has done.
