I remember. The turbo on my 386 didn’t make it faster. It made non turbo mode slower.

The Christian god is just a spurned lover who wrote in their diary about how stupid and mean their ex is and they should never have dumped him.

Satan is the dumper and has moved on long ago.

The stove thing is soo stupid. It’s not even a ban on gas stoves, it’s just requiring you to properly ventilate areas when they are installed.

And if Trump is elected, some have been saying that he plans to appoint Cannon to the Supreme Court.

Not exactly a new strategy to reward your cronies with lifetime appointments.

If the GOP gets the audio…

Yes, that’s the goal. They’ll twist themselves to get there.

I tend to do my primary shopping at a place where you bag your own. The order is generally produce and bulk items first (it tends to be the bulk of the purchase), then frozen things, boxed/canned things, and finally squishy things like bread, eggs, and uh, delicious Hostess fruit pies.

Everyone knows that once you date someone, end the relationship, and go your separate ways, it’s impossible to ever have a professional relationship ever again in the future.

… And a majority in the House.

Meanwhile, people who agree with 90% of any variation of the Democratic platform will protest vote or stay home to “send a message” or some bullshit.

Absolutely. The crawler is doing some rudimentary processing before it ever does any sort of data storage saving. That’s the sort of thing that’s being persisted behind the scenes, and it’s almost certainly both not enough to reconstruct the web page, nor is it (realistically) human-friendly. I was going to say “readable” but it’s probably some bullshit JSON or XML document full of nonsense no one wants to read.

“cum.salon” sounds thrilling. I both want it to be exactly what it says it is, but also, something completely different.

Tandem Diabetes, the people that make one of the few insulin pumps out there, quite vocally demand that, to keep your official apps working, you not update to the latest versions of Android or iOS.

Such bullshit.

For me, it was the surprise song in Dragon Age Inquisition, when they performed “The Dawn Will Come.”

You’d just had a huge battle, the hero was a low point, and they break out into this… thing. It’s stunning and so well done.

Mirab, with sails unfurled.

All cool, but not what the FCC can do.

To pass laws, look to Congress. Remember to vote for the candidates you think will help accomplish those sorts of things.

Fine! Geez.

Space aliens could teleport in next to sun, fling a bunch of Star Trek red matter at it like Spock did to the Romulan star, destabilize the star, and cause a, I think it was a black hole? where the star was. And we wouldn’t know for 8-ish minutes.

The sun could’ve gone nova 8 minutes ago and we wouldn’t know for another 20 seconds or so.

Devices that are no longer supported and kept up to date with security updates contain known, but unpatched, vulnerabilities. Some of them are software based, but some are a function of the hardware itself. Connect these to a network, manage to do something that gets them compromised, and you’ve given bad actors a foothold on your network.

Because most networks, especially home networks, tend to be configured in a way that trusts local network traffic more than external traffic, such a foothold can further compromise your systems. Very few people have the resources, or technical know-how to properly segregate potentially dangerous or vulnerable devices on a network.

That’s what.

I would note that, because it’s so old and out of support for everything, anything you got running on it would be full of security vulnerabilities.

Like, do not connect this to a network you care about kind of vulnerable.

I’d frankly just find a way to recycle it safely and learn to do that earlier with devices you’re not using, so others can use them instead of just sitting in a closet. (It’s not like I’m not guilty of the same thing.)
