Nowhere in the article does it say anything like that. It’s pretty straight forward reporting - the guy ran some websites and distributed pirated books and software, and hacked a few websites. No judgements are passed, it’s just factual information.

Yes I did, multiple times. The only confrontation I see are people on other floors reporting you for snooping around.

Does the noise maker below you ever confront you directly? Have they said anything to your face regarding the noise?

To me it sounds like you may be assigning motives to things that aren’t as evil as you perceive. Just live your life and be a normal, respectful level of loud. You’re going to hear your neighbors in an apartment. Accept it and move on. Unless it’s past quiet hours and affecting your sleep I don’t think there’s much you can do, practically.

Are they confronting you in person or something? Have they said anything to you or do you just hear noises?

It might be 1000% more confidential, but is it effective? Anecdotal evidence doesn’t count. For all we know AI therapy could be actively harmful to certain conditions. I’m not sure there’s any published studies on this.

Buying computer parts is one of those areas when buying high end is usually cheaper in the long run. My 5800X3D / 3090 build is still extremely relevant despite being two generations behind the latest hardware. I have no desire to upgrade and I’ll probably be able to push it for another 2-4 years easily.

Never bought a Windows license though, and I’ve been building PCs since 1998.

I hate embracer eraser group, fuck em for cancelling the Deus Ex game.

That just isn’t true. Viewing 16:9 on 4:3 doesn’t mean half your screen is black bars.

I’m aware. I’m also a medical lab scientist and the entire thing screamed bullshit from the start, not necessarily due to the feasibility of testing on small volumes, but things like calibration and quality control.

Why is there a need to rewrite it at all? Is it because COBOL is basically ancient hieroglyphics to modern programmers thus making it hard to maintain or update?

Non programmer but skilled with computers type guy here: what makes Java well suited for this?

This is probably an incorrect prejudice of mine, but I always thought those old languages are simpler and thus faster. Didn’t people used to rip on Java for being inefficient and too abstracted?

Last language I had any experience with was C++ in high school programming class in the early 2000s, so I’m very ignorant of anything modern.

The most bizarre part of the Theranos scandal is that any medical lab tech/scientist could have told you, right from the initial pitch, the entire thing was a massive scam. There was literally no reason to ever think this technology was feasible and a mountain of reasons it wasn’t.

Yeah, Zoom is the only one I’ve used that makes my computer chug and stutter. Webex and Teams have been fine IME.

Kinda curious if me skipping all the shitty older versions is why I think the current one is fine. I always opt in to the new versions ASAP to get the pain of switching out of the way sooner rather than later.

I got a new job, fully remote, and we use Teams. Not gonna lie, I don’t get the hate. It seems as exactly adequate as WebEx or Zoom. None of them make me cum, none of them make me upset.

What is it about Teams that people hate so much? How does WebEx or Zoom do it any better?

Fully onboard with hating new Outlook though, fuck it sucks. Can’t even browse the global address list, it’s search only.

the Supreme Court of the United States ruled in the Association for Molecular Pathology v. Myriad Genetics, Inc, that human genes cannot be patented because DNA is a “product of nature.” All gene patents were invalidated with this ruling.

That’s not true in the slightest. I agree with the fuck 23&me sentiment but you don’t have to make things up to criticize them.

I spend a grand on a nice adjustable dumbbell set and a bench and went from 165lbs to 210lbs over the last 18 months with a combination of weight training and eating better. It’s absolutely possible to work out at home with the resources that are out there these days. I do miss some of the equipment at the gym but the convenience of a home gym is just too good.

I would point out that getting lean/shredded is not a function of the gym, it’s a function of the kitchen. You cannot out exercise a bad or even mediocre diet. You can use a gym to build muscle, increase flexibility, or improve cardiovascular fitness, but there’s no avoiding making changes to your diet if you want to decrease body fat.

They’re just moving to the app store version.

Plexamp. Genuinely my favorite audio player since Winamp.

Ah, I see. Yeah that’s pretty bastardly.
