Didn’t you hear? All Arabs in Lebanon are Hezbollah.

Or they’re sheltering Hezbollah, which is as bad as being Hezbollah.

Or they know someone who is sheltering Hezbollah, which is as bad as sheltering Hezbollah.

Or they live near someone who knows someone who is sheltering Hezbollah, which is as bad as knowing someone who is sheltering Hezbollah.

And so on.

If you’ve got a spare quarter-hour, take a listen to the disquiet all those gifts can cause.

Yeah, it’s also exactly what the EU and it’s predecessors exist to prevent. We’ve never had a period of prolonged peace in Europe like we have now. And these utter fucking slabs want to undo it.

SUKBRICK sounds like a demeaning act that we brought on ourselves so lets go with that.

JFC. I knew that show was bad, but I honestly feel like I’m thicker from having watched that. You can’t just post shit like that without warning.

I don’t know why but I thought they were some special inaccessible computers.

It’s their marketing. Marketing, marketing, bullshit and marketing. Macs get viruses, Macs have vulnerabilities, Macs crash. Doesn’t matter how much their indoctrinated fans might claim otherwise, Macs are just weird PCs. In that context, their refusal to allow their owners to control them is all the more jarring and makes owning the older models like you mentioned all the more sensible.

Known as the Praxis Effect amongst movie nerds or, in the Homestar Runner universe, “those blast-wavey Saturn rings that have become so popular lately.”

“You’re about two kilometers outside the anomaly.”

“Chuck.”

“I’m sorry, what?”

“The anomaly. I named the anomaly ‘Chuck’.”

“NEVER name the anomalies. That’s how you get hurt.”

Dynamo Episode 5

That was actaully a brick joke in the first episode of Archer. Here’s the first part: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahObgDYU58E

“Federation” is like “non-fungible token”. Everyone knows what it is, but they’ve never heard it called that.

For locked-down devices, they’ll be running LTSC or LTSB editions (Long-Term Support Channel/Branch), or Windows Embedded, which are simplified and heavily customisable versions of Windows. For general-purpose devices, they’ll be using Pro or Enterprise versions of Windows which, crucially, support Group Policy. Using GP it is very, very easy for a single admin to configure an arbitrarily large number of Windows machines to work exactly how they want them to work, including configuration options that aren’t otherwise exposed to the end user in any way.

Edit: just to add: the lack of an equivalent of Group Policy is what is preventing Linux becoming widespread in businesses. If you think you know of a service for Linux that works like Group Policy, then you don’t know Group Policy.

For the uninitiated, BrowserChoice.eu was a popup and associated website that Microsoft was forced to create by the EU courts becasue of their monopoly in 2010.

Also, an opinion: Edge was a great browser even before they switched to Chromium. I wish they’d kept at it so there was a better variety of rendering engines out there.

Tgese Nuts lmao gottem
