And 3 legs.

I find a cafetiere even less work for basically the same. Just don’t use boiling water, either cool it off or use one set to 80c.

I’m not convinced this is the reason for the Imgur block. They were asked by the UK about how they processed the data for minors at the start of the year. They refused to provide it, and were then fined. When the age check was implemented I think they used that as an excuse to block the UK, so they “weren’t operating in it” and didn’t need to answer the questions.

The UK gov disagrees with that and is planning more legal action iirc.

If they had done the block without that law, people would be asking why they were not revealing how they process data of minors.

I used ublockorigin to block the container for shorts and news. Much better, also set up a redirector that changes shorts URLs into the normal yt format, so that you don’t pulled into that feed.

I think this tells me that EGS is going to be pushing lots of ai developed games without any disclosure.

Technically it was just only recently that ms no longer has mainstream support for 32bit oses, as they only dropped that with windows 11.

Makes me think that might be the reason for valve choosing now to do this.

Ok so this one is someone trying to move to “the cloud.”

They had a database they used. It was on a server in the office. We were tasked to clone the db server to a hosted VM. Due to order of creation this got put on a new host without anything yet on it.

They needed a site to site VPN to keep privacy, that was all fine. However after the clone and during testing, their guy there said that this one part was really slow. We take a look and everything is good with performance of the server and of the VPN. I have to pop on to take a look.

It was in an office app and written in VB. (I forgot which one.) It was indeed slower on the hosted server. So I took a look at the function (he got it up for me) and I could instantly tell the issue.

This part was a lookup page that searched for you input. The function retrieved the entire table, then filtered the results in the client. I explained that transferring the whole table over the internet would be slower than on the local lan.

This guy said he originally wrote this, but “forgot VB.”

In the end they decided not to update the app or keep the server in the office, but instead they rented some VDIs in the same data centre as the db.

I feel like you should at least have the ingredients that are in the name of the dish.

Parts also tend to be to easy to get. So even if the drum is almost done, you can easily find a replacement. I find business stuff tends to have actually useful manuals and maintenance guides.

What I find strange is in cases where I can say: “sorry that is not that good of a deal, you should spend twice that and get this instead as it is a good deal.” They always just ignore your advice.

I sometimes find people already bought it. They only wanted my opinion if it agreed with them.

I know a couple of people who think they are clever for these kinds of substitutions, I can probably use this fact on them. Not sure they will change their ways after, they kinda oppose any change.

Glad I have GTA:sa on dvd still.

I always assumed this was due to the bandwidth of interfaces at the time. It would be to much for the hardware decoder to copy the output back for compositing. Thus the card rendered directly onto a mask.

You have to admit, there was a lot of baryonic matter onboard.

Randall Munro has a recent quote about being hit by a sun laser. “You don’t really die from it, you become physics.” I think this would apply in this situation.

Yea what is with the tv manufactures not making hdmi 1 the “feature” input. It makes no sense to me! Make 1 the best and sort the others to worst.

Great! We can get (almost) a whole year of using it with Exchange Online before EWS is turned off!

Bright is probably would be the closest for me, but it also depends on usage. I’m not using it as a wall colour.

I once saw someone get an ad for the new phone as a notification on their current one. They had never had a notification from Samsung like that before. At that point I knew they would build in advertising for all their other products in to the products.

I have never bought a Samsung device since. Some people I know live them, but it put me off so much.

Would you like to activate this annoying feature!

1. Yes.
2. Remind me later.
