marcos,

I don’t have solutions, but I have a pressing question: why?

I’m not sure OpenOffice is even supposed to work nowadays.

(Anyway, maybe try running from a terminal. Usually programs log the errors into it.)

marcos,

As long as their salary keeps increasing, I’d say go for it!

marcos,

I’m pretty sure the comic was supposed to be a joke about Die Hard.

marcos,

You have probably already seen this:

xkcd.com/705/

Anyway, people are mostly not like that anymore.

marcos,

That person isn’t welcome on the beach house.

marcos,

Well, it is a planet everyone overlooks.

marcos,

Nah, Bashir would devise a clever plan to everything work out just fine without people returning their carts.

Also, I’m pretty sure you got Garak wrong. He would promise never to return the cart, make a loud point about it for everybody, and insist on the subject every chance he gets. Just to covertly return it when nobody is looking because when Cardassia befriends the supermarket his people would benefit from the carts being correctly parked.

marcos,

Yep, I’ve adapted all of my setup to syncthing, and never looked back.

marcos, (edited )

The frequentist is unable to insert pre-conceived biases. Both will converge on the real answer if they repeat the experiment enough, but the bias being what it is, the Sun may indeed go nova on the necessary time.

marcos,

provided they’re literal children

Yeah, you could just remove that part. There’s no sense on holding the non-intervention principle so high that you comply with every crazy request from the natives.

marcos,

Well, they have world peace, and don’t practice things like genocide or threats of mutual assured destruction.

marcos,

I would assume Quark speaks Federation Standard

I assume he made a clear point of never learning it.

I’d put larger odds on Nog and Rom eventually learning it (but not at the time of the screenshot).

marcos,

Oh, bummer, my number isn’t supported by the free version:

api.isevenapi.xyz/…/87643895874857367499567729846…

marcos,

and doesn’t view your private data and uploads it to the cloud

Oh, someone didn’t read their OS’s privacy policy…

marcos,

Trust the author? Are you crazy? Do you have any idea how many dumb mistakes I’ve caught the author doing?

marcos,

I don’t know about you people, but personally, I always write programs at work by removing boards from my computer and plugging them in a different order.

marcos,

Well, if you need something that a simple tailor can help you with… like high-stakes negotiation with foreign governments, data exfiltration, intelligence analysis, or other such trivial tasks that don’t require contacts or secret knowledge, he’s the man for you!

marcos,

The TPM doesn’t do anything by itself.

But if Windows is sending all of your data, including stored files and passwords for some third party like its TOS says it can, than that’s Windows breaching your privacy. Or if the remote management hardware that comes with every computer is allowing some third party to access it with more capabilities than even you have, like they are normally designed, than that’s your CPU’s manufacturer breaching your privacy (but those are supposed to be turned off).

But again, the TPM by itself doesn’t do anything.

marcos,

You are looking at the wrong place. The TPM is a very standard piece of hardware, that shouldn’t even need firmware (it would completely cancel the entire point of it). It enables a whole lot of shit, but it isn’t the thing that does the shit.

Now, you can go look at the always-on network enabled uncontrollable management unity that exists inside your computer’s processor… Intel pinky swears they can’t access them in any way and will only activate them if you pay extra¹; AMD AFAIK doesn’t even try to say anything.

1 - Makes sense to you? Well, how do they activate it if they can’t access it?

marcos,

It would be an atmodisk.

marcos,

Gotta stop pretending “left” and “right” are useful labels to apply to politics too.

marcos,

Tatooine is clearly an acient-Rome like place where slaves own property, so only Anakin would have brought C3PO, as parts.

And those 4 letter names couldn’t be very unique…

marcos,

I don’t give people grief for it.

They expect you to. The only way you can communicate that you don’t is by giving people grief for coming sick. That will force them to look at their environment and decide what to do, if you don’t, they’ll just pick the safe option that works everywhere.

It sucks, but it’s a required part of managing.

marcos,

There’s a lot of throwing random shit over that wall omitted.

marcos,

Wait… That & shape manages to end on the exact same direction it starts.
