checks if a file is a symlink

to expand on that:

"In computing, a symbolic link (also symlink or soft link) is a file whose purpose is to point to a file or directory (called the "target") by specifying a path thereto."

Mark chooses interesting figures from the past and present and tells their story in an entertaining way.

Your link is dangerous to our democracy.

Democracy relies on free speech, which you don't believe in. I'm well aware this point will be lost on you as you're too busy being hysterical.

One good rule of thumb is that whenever people are blaming foreigners for their problems, they're wrong.

The current trend is that people from nations that were colonisers are the cause of, and are responsible for, the woes of descendants of colonised peoples. It's good to see that you can see through the bullshit too.

There are only select groups that can invest in property, they must reach the baseline investment sum and ongoing payback before they can play the game. Having unchecked offshore ownership is massively damaging to the local people, it raises the bar all that much more. Offshore control of property can easily be weaponised, where it's not about investment but instead about legal denial of property to the locals.

NZ suffers from some of this.

They blamed cats, not knowing it was the fleas.

It wasn't until the 1800s that hand washing was tied to health (Semmelweis). The 1300s would have been a filthy, filthy existence it's not a great surprise the plague spread like wildfire (past its initial vector). Basic hygiene has helped humanity massively.

Dying of respiratory or cardiac failure is horrifying enough

That is how you die, regardless of events it's ultimately brain death due to lack of oxygen to the brain - pray your heart stops one day (everything else is worse).

I know you were making a reference to c19. Yes, being kept in solitary confinement while you suffocate to death by order of the state would be a miserable way to go (tax extracted and left in an "exit room").

Here in NZ the state forced an elderly man to watch from the roadside as his wife was buried but politicians were allowed to go swimming during the same lock down... Disgusting.

It's a strange thing, people like Shaun Webb that demonstrate high intelligence in a specialized field can simultaneously be mindless sheep and follow/advocate "the current thing"...

You've chosen to miss the point, and you're also comparing sand to ice.

win98lite, was windows install modification for win98 to remove some stuff so you could play computer games more while you weren't defragging your hard drive.

Wakey wakey.

A baddy gets the camera, holds the button for some time and that resets the camera (disassociates the camera from the base station). The recordings for that camera on the base station are now gone because they are encrypted and rely on the association the camera had.

Eufy refused to fix the problem. It was something that could have been fixed with a firmware update via its app.

It was a shame, the cameras were good but the product overall wasn't fit for purpose (due to their incompetence).

make sure not to keep your steering wheel straight

remove the "not".

(or at least: know why you are doing what you are doing)

Remove that too, it's unnecessary.
