and how’s that working out for them this time around?

You mean they’re going to turn Androids into Chromebooks

android is getting ‘desktop’ features so it can replace chrome os, and to keep pace with apple–who’s doing similar things with ios

“c” is for “canine”

they could have kept the skype name on the ‘consumer’ product, even if underneath it was the same piece of shit teams, just with ‘enterprise’ features hidden.

if you’ve already got something running 24/7, you could just put it there. it doesn’t need much for resources.

pihole does not need it’s own box. it can run as a container (docker instructions in the official docs) or in a small vm.

i have two small vm running dietpi and used that to install pihole. i fully expected to run a few more things on them, that’s why i chose dietpi–just have never gotten that far (it’s only been like three years now).

munching on all that sweet government data that’s been swiped by the muskrat goon squad.

that’s your lunch and dinner… on a 7 hour flight after a 4 hour delay at departure. take it and smile gratefully.

better upgrade to a zip drive then!

i got floppy drives and cables, and at least a couple vintage minitowers with them here… but alas, no epic floppy disk cameras.

anything ‘worthwhile’ is probably gonna use a lot of power, burn through bandwidth, or not exactly completely legit and legal.

to monetize the piracy of your users

that’s generally what gets sites and services in ‘trouble’

he’s a minority owner, don’t think he himself even holds a majority of voting shares outright–there’s some bullshit and shenanigans going on that gives him the ‘control’. iirc, it requires near-90% approval of all non-musk held voting shares to make ‘major’ changes like ousting a board member or ceo. that’s why he’s still ‘in charge’

that’s one hell of a water bill if you were in the shower counting to one million.

i had a monitor like that once. big bright af blue power light baked into the power button, bottom center of the bezel. blue led was the ‘new’ thing back then. the barton-era matching pc (which i didn’t have) had a larger matching button on its front. if you know your '00s pavilions, you know the ones.

it was horrible. that monitor lived its entire life with a black piece of paper taped over the whole switch and light. i was not saddened when it finally gave up and failed to turn on. i was more annoyed that it took 15 years for it to fail.

naaaaaah… upstanding corporate global citizens such as google and adobe? no, never. no chance in hell. they’d never collude to do such an evil thing…

aptitude has been my go-to since at least woody or potato.

and i’m taking yours too.

tsmc may be, and very likely are, run by ‘trustworthy people’… they’d have to be, i think, given the sheer significance on a global scale of their business and the products they produce for so many varied customers–many of whom compete with one another and have to trust their chip vendor to keep so many things safe and secure from those competitors and others.

the current u.s. administration? fuck no. try again in 2029.

and if you manage to evade physical harm, sickness will surely catch up with you. the black death was not a ‘one and done’ pandemic. it lingered and persisted here-and-there for centuries after the widespread pandemic (known today simply as ‘the plague’) that claimed 50m+ lives, including half of europe’s population at the time

don’t forget the peas and tuna.
