Pardon my ignorance, but what is this referring to?

I'd pay top dollar for an adblocker that would replace ads with "They Live" references

Folks are already walking (and driving, which is more scary) in a daze, glued to their doomscrolling rectangles

This is probably PEBCAK, but I can't figure out how to capture an island

I can totally see Internet availabilit correlating with the rise of unwanted stuff in the install. Believe it started with 3rd party games being part of the OS at first. I don't recall the yes/maybe later dialog "options" in win8 though, at least not in the beginning.

I actually really liked the win8 start menu change and the live tiles, even wrote some tiny homegrown apps with them. My logic was always "if I am opening the start menu, I will want to interact with that menu and only it until it's closed", so having it fullscreen made sense.

Moving 15 years back puts you into glory Win7 days. IIRC, the spam started with win8 which was released ~13 years ago and was very mild at first

Same, I had reasonable success with LLM-generated OpenSCAD files fed into prusa slicer. Just needs a few manual tweaks for spatial transforms from time to time.

How would one know though by just looking at the device? I have chassis that came with Intel 11th gen, but the brainboxery, keyboard, battery, touchpad -- all have been swapped over time.

Maybe the thought process is that leak would effectively be pressure normalizing over a larger area and more gradually than creating a tiny hole, so whatever I said about jet ignition would not be applicable

Shooting holes in pressurized vessels with explosive stuff is probably a very bad idea, as outlined in my comment[1]. Slowly loosening a valve is a better idea.

That being said, in no way, shape or form am I an authority on the subject.

Quick googling sez that liquid nitrogen might solidify the MMA inside, turning it into even more of a pressure cooker

IIUC, the stuff inside is polymerizing, turning into goop that gummed everything up. It was probably not goop when used for the original purpose

Inb4: I don't work in the industry, my knowledge is limited to a faint memory of a college course on fluid dynamics.

If I recall correctly, high pressure ignitable stuff can spontaneously turn !!FUN!! in absence of heat if it is suddenly relieved through a pinhole. Basically jet is followed by a ring-like zone where the stuff mixes with oxygen. Jet creates tiny zones of very high temp, thus igniting the mixture ring that follows.

Drill = spark = boom = nasty stuff all over surrounding area

Modern cars sometimes have telematic units running off dedicated lithium ion batteries, so killing main battery might not do anything

Give us your laptop

There's no way to read this without hearing Scottish accent. It's like a sleeper agent activation phrase.

There is US exported media that just randomly becomes popular in a specific demographic. Case in point: Adventures of Ford Fairlane, a flick with Andrew Dice Clay that got a razzie the year it came out. IIRC it got a cult following in Norway because the voice over was done by a popular radio DJ.

A tiny "By entering the area you consent to being recorded" sign oughta cover that.

I got an Epson TM-T88IIIP for about 40 bucks used. The whole line seems to have decent Linux drivers

WHOIS sez it was just registered, registrar is NameCheap. Uses Cloudflare DNS. .bot domain hosted on Vercel. There is a link to .ai domain with similar info.

Certificate transparency logs list everything as brand new.

Cursory glance at other Nvidia domains shows Safenames ltd as their registrar of choice.

Seems a bit sketchy

I usually use English to talk to Gemini, but the other day I wanted to try and find out the original band of a Siberian punk song that I have carried around in my music collection since time immemorial. Problem is the tags are all over the place in this genre and there are situations where "Foo-Bar" and "Foobar" are two completely different bands. Gemini was clearly trained on some genre forums from late 90s which are... shall I say non-PC by any stretch of the term.

In the middle of the conversation it randomly switched from English to Russian and clearly struggled to maintain the tone imposed by the built-in prompt.

Inb4: not remotely in the marine field, so a genuine question. Would it really make an impact?

Robotaxis market is much broader than the submersibles one, so the effect of consumers' irrationality would be much bigger there. I'd expect an average customer of the submarines market to do quite a bit more research on what they're getting into.

Printers prey specifically on fear. When talking to them, gotta be polite but firm. No more than three threats during the conversation, and the threats have to be credible.

Check out whichkey and/or command line completion to find those commands easier

True, it's not a full replacement for ipmi-ish tech. There are ways the deployed waiter can fail before it times out and triggers the rollback. Deploy often enough and you will hit all wonderful edge cases. I treat it as a first line of defense that saves me time on scooting the chair over to me server cabinet and yanking the cords.

WRT ephemeral state -- NixOS allows to minimize this. Coupled with impermanence, all non-declared and non-externally-retrievable state is wiped away upon reboot. And if it's not declative and not retrievable, I just don't use it. Homelab allows for a lot of choice in that regard

I'd recommend sticking with deploy-rs. Saved me quite a few hours through its magic rollback which aborted an upgrade that borked VPN.

The screenplay part made me think. While it's true that an LLM could potentially generate a better^ script, while writing scriot the author would probably had had many ideas that did not make it to the final draft. Yet those ideas would definitely influence the final product, the movie. There's probably only so much you can put in the script really.

Meaning for the brother is one thing, but as a potential watcher, I would almost always prefer a movie that someone really cared about^^.

^: depending on the definition of "better"

^^: as a fallible human being I am not perfect at detecting that care, but there had definitely been cases in my life when someone was talking about a thing that I would not really care about otherwise, but their passion made the talk extremely interesting and memorable

Not an iPhone person, however when I force shutdown a laptop I am hacking away on, I do feel like I am strangling it with a pillow to ease it's suffering. But that feeling comes purely from my side, the machine shows no signs of life at that point anyway.

Are you referring to something like the GPRS staccato coming from speakers catching a cell phone call or the almost imperceptible flyback whine of a CRT?

You can't just drop this without examples. What OSes and what were their tells?

Having done this way back when on both: go with a VM first.

Targeting a known set of virtual devices makes a lot of things much easier when building LFS. Dev ux is also much nicer:, you get faster restarts, a socket and optional snapshots to go back to a known less broken state.
