fun fact: If you ever see any of those quirky “solve this complex equation for the Wifi password” It’s always either the phone number of the place, or the first X digits of Pi.

Casting this would be a challenge. With no costs and no suspend keyword, you’d be basically required to cascade into it

They were pretty astonished when they heard that she had installed a GPU by herself (which most people here know is trivial). Which gave her enough confidence to fix her VCR by herself.

Anyone can learn any skill if they actually invest the time.

And regarding the older brother, you learn pretty quickly working help desk that users generally don’t care what the problem is or why it happened. They just want to get back to work and not have it happen again. After a while you get conditioned to just be friendly and solve the issue without explaining what you’re doing or why.

To be fair, the protein folding thing is legitimately impressive and an actual good use for the technology that isnt just harvesting people’s creativity for profit.

They did back when that was the windows logo.

Ultimately, in terms of security, you’re likely to find that both are similarly good.

What makes Firefox desirable over Chrome is that it’s not beng developed by massive corporation that gets the majority of its profits selling user data and delivering targeted adverts.

The other thing that may act as a deciding factor is the “MacOS doesn’t have viruses” effect. Wherein that because firefox has such a small userbase in comparison to chromium, it’s far more profitable to find exploits in chromium.

Well of course it errors out, you’re using powershell rather than DOS

That’s not a good answer to any question other than “What would the KKK say about the state of marriage in the country?”

Their problem is mostly that it spends money helping poor people, when all that money could be allocated to further tax cuts for rich people.

Is that an offshore oil rig that’s on fire?

If so, they’re not entirely wrong

If looks dont matter, I’ll recommend the same thing I always do when people want an air purifier.

Look into making a Corsi Rosenthal Box. They’re surprisingly effective, and dirt cheap.

This makes perfect sense to me.

At the start of your career, you want to be important enough that people will care about your opinions, which means getting invited to meetings where things are discussed.

Stage 2, you’ve been there long enough and know how things work so you can offer input and help make decisions.

Stage 3 is the point at which people will come to you for input outside of meetings because that’s easier. You just want to do your job and generally don’t care about decisions anymore unless they bring sweeping changes.

This sounds fucking incredible, and I will be trying this as soon as I have avocados again.

Why not both

People have been saying this since he was forced into buying the platform. I initially thought that could be true too.

As time has gone on, however, I’m starting to think he’s just that incompetent

The UNs mission is mostly to exist as a forum for the leaders of a nation to discuss issues in a known-safe environment. It’s not meant for oversight, nor is it meant to police anything, even if it is sold that way sometimes.

Ubisoft’s bean counters had some trouble reading the market on this one.

They left Steam because they felt the 30% cut that Valve takes for sales on their platform is way too high, but didn’t account that users of Steam are really entrenched into that platform and don’t want to leave just for the chance to play an Ubisoft title. So instead of seeing 70% of Steam sales of their games, they saw 0.

This is bad news for my productivity

Excel is one of those tools that punches way above its weight class. Which is why it’s so common to see in places where it should have been replaced by a proper database years ago.
