@BentleyAudrey Are they like "hey the ink lady is here!"

I do a lot of work with non-profits in my area and I decided that I would help save them money by refilling their printers ink cartridges for them. I’ve had better ideas lolololololol

If you can't reboot your super cool UniFi switch or rip apart Proxmox at a moments notice without angering family or roommates, you have home prod, not a homelab

@Lemonade_Inc oh my god your dog chewing commercials on CNN Headline are disgusting and obnoxious, just SLURP SLURP SLURP SLURP sounds over and over SLURP SLURP as the ad runs multiple times in a row

@exquizitely CGA at home and amber monochrome at school. I realized how crisp Simcity and Windows 3.0 was on 640x350 mono despite no color, due to the huge CGA dot pitch. Catacomb was pretty awesome on CGA. I saw VGA at the store and blown away but there was no way we'd afford it yet

A little history trip from Monochrome to CGA to EGA to VGA. Woud be curious as to what your first PC graphic experience was, mine was EGA. I just missed CGA by one year, so I dodged a bullet there. The first graphics adapter to bring at least a little life to their screens was the Colour Graphics Adapter (CGA), which is considered the first graphics card from IBM which would set the standard in 1981. This was a step up up from the MDA (Monochrome Display Adapter), which was green text against black. CGA had a whopping 16kb of memory and connectors for a monitor or a television. It also had a max resolution of 640×200. It wasn’t pretty compared to the competition (8 bit home computer systems), but it got the job done. In 320×200 mode, only 4 colours could be displayed at once. In 640×200 mode, that went down to only 2 colours. Next up after CGA was EGA in 1984. This time, it could display 16 colours at the same time from a total palette of 64 and cranked the maximum resolution up to 640×350. It was also packed with 64kb of memory (a big leap back then!). EGA didn’t live long, either, and was quickly put out to pasture by IBM itself with the arrival of VGA in 1987 with an whopping 256 colours. VGA came to represent a number of key developments such as the famous 640×480 resolution or the 15 pin VGA monitor connector... high tech back in the day! The VGA standard would go on to have a number of other enhancements such as “Super” VGA. SVGA topped off VGA with a number of additional enhancements such as a 800×600 4-bit pixel resolution which extended on out to 1024×768 8-bit pixels later. And the best part of this? Any gamer born after 1990 will have no clue what I just talked about...

@TracketPacer I read that when Falcon 1 was growing up onboard systems PXE booted and when the rocket launched it just left stale NFS mounts. Any cool unceremoniously ripped away bits on your network? HSRP neighbor flying away? LACP looking for links that never return?

we have already been building & integrating multiple additional new glenns (& therefore multiple additional networks) 😎 we are ready

@vxunderground There's a whole Andy Rooney piece where he rants at Bill Gates for moving where the power plugs and buttons are on laptops

Totally unnatural work flow. The gentleman in this video clearly has no idea how the elderly (as he references, "Grandma") use technology. Here is a more realistic approach. 1. Grandma notices font is too small. She has a difficult time seeing and/or reading the text. 2. Grandma incorrectly asserts Mark Zuckerberg, CEO and Founder of Facebook (now Meta) has developed this computer and blames him for defaulting to such small font. "Ugh, that idiot Zuckerforge* makes the text too damn small. Nobody can see this!" 3. Grandma picks up the laptop and places the camera directly up to her mouth and says, "Alexis, make the font big". When nothing happens she raises her voice, "ALEXIS, MAKE THE FONT BIG". Alexis doesn't respond. 4. Grandma, becoming increasing frustrated, remembers that Alexis is for Amazon, not Microsoft, so she corrects herself. "Siri, make the font big, please". She anxiously waits for a reply but nothing happens again. "SIRI MAKE THE FONT BIG". Siri ignores her pleas. 5. Grandma, exhausting all options, decides to call her children and/or grandchildren for assistance. The conversation begins discussing technology but quickly derails into something else such as the weather, sports, trivia, or (most likely) family gossip. 6. Grandma concludes her troubleshooting by calling Mark Zuckerforge a "stupid Italian" (she falsely believes he's Italian) and decides to stop using the device. Grandma is deeply prejudice to Italians because of an argument she got into with an Italian couple in 1973

I've been locked out of my apartment for over an hour because of the stupid broken Yale smart lock that Essex installed on everyone's unit

Your annual reminder to go get actual key tags and label (with words!) what various keys in your drawer and cup holders do. I guarantee you in 5 years you won't remember what the pretty princess key or key with green string are for! Also pop those batteries out of unused stuff

Apple Maps is telling me it knows better than me which building is my house, which is also not a school

@WeldPond Still is, always handy to flip over to it in screen to take a look

Who remembers when checking your email was opening a terminal window, SSHing into your account and running Pine?

"But they weren't wearing helmets!!" is the new "but Zelenskyy wasn't wearing a suit!!" Nobody on a BO flight has ever worn a helmet, not even Shatner

@TimothyImholt I liked how it provided more background, for example Jones experience at Caltech which makes the line "you'll be teaching at Caltech" have more meaning

Ok, I'm curious. Who has actually read this (not just seen the movie) but read the book?

@bryan_johnson wait until you discover cedar season in austin

At a hotel in Austin burning incense in the lobby. Told the staff it's bad for their health and gave data to share with their manager: Toxin increase: . PM 2.5 by 385% (= to 6 cigarettes) . PM 10 by 408% . PM 1.0 by 453% Left (outside), right (lobby). Don't burn incense.

@edandersen @randomrecruiter And stop walking on your desk treadmill while on video calls. Our last CEO did this and it was beyond annoying to see their head bouncing up and down for an hour while they talked

@randomrecruiter And ffs please get a decent setup. Not a blurry laptop webcam pointing at your ear or up your nose and a virtual background If you are remote get a proper home office and video conferencing gear going like the professional you want to be

I genuinely don’t understand why remote workers don’t turn their camera on during meetings. The one concern your manager has is that you’re on the couch watching Netflix. If there’s one simple way to alleviate that, it’s by simply turning your camera on for meetings. But most people don’t, then act shocked when their employer mandates RTO.

@moejama64 there was one elon talk where I could swear he kept saying griffin and I was wondering wtf is this new component. It took a while to realize he was saying grid fin

this was a lot funnier in my head peter gridfin

@MorosKostas Dare I ask where's our Duncan ruling too? Almost a year since last arguments

Ok seriously where is the Third Circuit's Koons v. Platkin ruling? In the time since its October 2023 oral argument, May v. Bonta completed preliminary injunction briefing, we won a preliminary injunction, got through 9th circuit briefing, got a ruling, we petitioned for en banc review, and got denied with a lengthy dissent. Does the 3rd Circuit do secret en bancs? That's the only thing I can think of.
