I want to believe, I really do. But I fear that the crypto apps people have grown dependent on will make it harder than the desktop battle. And IDK but I seem to recall every year since at least 2001 being proclaimed to be the year of the Linux desktop.

I rely on my banking apps (plural), governmental email app, government authentificator app and the governmental LMS app for public schools to make my everyday function. And the last time I tried just a custom ROM, those apps refused to run.

Better than realizing that the cabinet was open by standing up into the outer corner of the door.

Indeed, feeling the need to check, I can tell you that we’re not in the onion anymore…

But I only needed three more 30 day trials to finish downloading cd2 of the phantom menace cam that I started in 1999…

POV: Be a software developer. It’s 2025. You’re maintaining dialer software for an ISP. The software is written in Delphi or Visual Basic. It’s all you’ve done since 1995. You’ve got 5 years to retirement. Corporate announces end of life for dial up services.

You are equating Israel to all Jewish people.

No I’m not. I’m saying it’s close to the rhetoric from 100 years ago, not the same.

That’s offensive!

To whom? I personally find it offensive, that you would try such a cheap trick to end this argument. Purposefully misinterpreting my comment in an attempt to get me to look antisemitic? Seriously?

This is such a weird stance for American companies and politicians. It truly blows my mind. You can say whatever you want about Americans or anything here. You can even say the president is a pedophile and it’s fine (even if it wasn’t true) but the second you say something bad about Israel because they suck everyone starts flipping their shit.

With you so far.

It’s like our whole country is secretly run by Israel or something.

DANGER WILL ROBINSON: That’s cutting it pretty darn close to the whole Jewish cabal bullshit. Your country is not secretly run by Israel. It’s run by reactionary old farts, who’s more afraid of being called antisemitic, than they value human rights.

IDK why you’re getting downvoted, a large cargo ship can emit the same amount of co2 as 50 million cars https://maritimepage.com/cargo-ship-co2-emissions/

Perhaps the people downvoting you are the same kind of people without a sense of proportion, who think that turning off an LED light bulb saves the environment.

It could also be that you don’t provide a solution. So here it goes: want to cut co2? Buy locally produced goods. If you live in the northern hemisphere strawberries aren’t in season in January, and it’s a good chance that neither are tomatoes or avocado.

Rad!

I think one of those attachments are actually for a 12V 70Ah car battery

I beg your pardon, your highness. I didn’t realize that you had degreed no tongue in cheek comments.

It’s spelled “gringe”

Is that her balls hanging out? Also what’s up with her hand? It looks like it’s 30years older than her

This. You’ve got to ask yourself, what your goal when interacting with law enforcement is. It it your goal to stand up for every right? Or do you want to get away for the interaction as easy as possible?

Let me give you an example of what I mean. I Denmark police can stop and ID you without a cause. You don’t have to provide an ID, but you have to state your name, address, and birthday. If you don’t, then you’ll be arrested. Our SSNs consists of birthday and a checksum. You’re not required to state your SSN checksum, but if you do state it, the police will have to pay you if the stop is longer than 10min.

So giving the police a little more than they’re entitled to, can get you out of the interaction a lot easier.

Of course you can stand up for your rights, and if you want to fight, then do it. But it will make your day harder.

We’re so focused on electronics here, but this part can save your ass:

Bring a small new blank paper note book you can keep in a pocket with a small pen or pencil

The following is translated from the meager tactical training I’ve received: Emphasis on the pencil being small. You definitely don’t want a full size pencil in your pocket if shit hits the fan and you get tumbled.

Maybe get a waterproof notepad. But make sure that you can easily rip out pages. Use a single sheet for all the info you don’t want the police to have (like all the other burner phone numbers and such) That way you can rip that sheet out and swallow it, if you’re about to be captured.

Also, about the scarfs. I don’t know about the US, but at least in my own country, it’s illegal to use a mask at protests. Meaning a mask would get you singled out and targeted by law enforcement.

Other day I tried opening the command prompt on a windows server 2019 by hitting the start button and typing cmd. Waited for 20s before hitting win+r and running cmd.exe from there.

Ws2k19 maybe dated, but wtf is up with that level of performance in searching? I mean if you can’t do it in a way approaching satisfactory, then why roll it out at all?

My new job issued me with a sweet ass workstation laptop… With W11

Upside is that the IT dept has about zero awareness of the governance part of cyber security. The laptop has an unlocked bios and coworkers have had no questions asked when their domain joined machines didn’t check in for years.

So guess who’s about to swap the ssd and roll the machine for a debian based distro. Just need to figure out drivers for the nvidia rtx 1000 ada GPU

From the other post I remember you said that having the letters in the top layers didn’t work for you, because that meant a lot of support material to remove.

From what I understand, your product consists of two parts. The large part with the letters and a counter part, which is just a flat piece.

So why not put the letters in the flat piece? That way you can print them either way up.
