The other guy thought it was too much of a pain in the ass to even spell 737 correctly tho. But yes, some things absolutely should be a pain in the ass. Like when something going even slightly wrong will likely kill someone.

There is a reason it’s slightly more expensive tho. They don’t even bother to force or nag you to connect to Wi-Fi / Internet so the manufacturer can start selling data on what you watch… Sony charges a little more because the TV is for profit, instead of your data being the profit product.

They aren’t all that much more expensive at Costco anyway. Also it’s not like I’m buying a TV ever few years.

Shit my Sony Trinitron CRT still works. That really is buy it for life. Less can be said about Walmart specials.

Yea Exact Audio Copy in secure mode will re-read each sector double-checking results until it has a consistent perfect rip. It takes a little while longer, but the results are worth it.

While 104 is contact an MD range.

Fevers have to get to 108F to cause brain damage. 106F is definitely in the seek treatment range!

But normal fevers between 100° and 104° F (37.8° - 40° C) are good for sick children.

Bro,

I have been using Google before 2000

Had an early invite to Gmail. Got mobile search results over text message before smart phones.

Google maps didn’t even launch until 2005.

Some of us went places and did things before Google+

I don’t disagree that if I want to go somewhere I might search g maps.

But the search results are really shit lately.

I miss competition with several web spiders

Yea not everywhere is equipped to do all types of operations.

Shit, in America I know someone that just wants a blood work type test done in the largest city in the State. Can’t even find anyone that knows shit all about the test. Several doctors refused to draw the blood and send it out of state. Test can be done at Johns Hopkins (or other 1st rate places around the globe) but hasn’t trickled down to 50 states yet. Doctors stay in their lane and if you want a specialist at the cutting edge you’ll have to travel even in America.

ESU is a paid service for enterprise. They didn’t even offer ESU for windows 7 home at all for any price.

Windows 7 pro ESU per device cost $50 for 1 year, $100 for the next year, $200 for the final year.

Windows 7 enterprise was per device 1 year $25, second year $50, and 3rd year $100.

Micro$oft is not going to give win10 ESU away for free and they probably won’t supported home edition.

You can however bypass the win11 hardware checks to upgrade unsupported devices.

I mean

There were networks such as: EFnet Undernet Quakenet DALnet

different servers in different regions did network together.

There was a different word for ‘defederation’ back then: net split https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit

And it was usually from a networking issue.

I’m still salty that an IRCOP from a (now defunct) Canadian server used a net split as an attack: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRC_takeover

to steal a # channel from my friends and make it private long enough to sort out the bot auto bans. We appealed, but because they were an IRCOP, the other IRCOPs from the federated servers were just like, “whatever, pound sand users, go run a server if you want to control stuff like us.”

Anyway, IRC was a connection of various servers run by various people/corporations/universities etc.

Yea. And most of the data is already cloud backed up anyway. Which means you can restore it. Also means it’s not really your data either and someone else has access to do what they want with it.

If you’re worried about losing access cuz you lost your 2 factor FIDO2 key or One Time Password or whatever you can print off “backup codes” and put them in your lock box.

But if you don’t backpack your data locally then whomever you delegated backups to can cut you off at any time for any reason.

Google shut off access to this parents account after he took a photo of his child’s genitals for teledoc and sent it to his wife over Google chat: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/21/technology/google-surveillance-toddler-photo.html

There is a point where some fruits are more dangerous than others to give a toddler, such as grapes.

But you can bulk make a lot of purees with a hand mixer. On the weekend I would batch cook and bulk freeze a lot of different purees before they could have solid food. There’s these silicone trays a little larger than ice trays you can use to freeze the purees, then put them on a ziplock bag and pull one or two out to defrost in the microwave real quick.

You don’t have to use everything fresh, you can use frozen fruits/veggies and even do Passata - Strained Tomatoes no salt added, with spaghetti, or Mac n cheese. We had concerns about the level of salt in premade foods so we made our own on the weekend and froze it all. Low sodium lentil soups are ok too.

It ended up being a lot cheaper just to spend an hour on the weekend batch cooking for the kid and batch cooking for lunches to take to work too.

Finally I got a little plastic masher and used that, as soon as they were old enough do it themselves. They wouldn’t eat anything they mashed at first but they loved playing with it.

Now they just grab apples and other fruit straight from the fridge.

Our doctor said not to give them juice or fruit packs at all. The doctor did say chocolate milk mixed with regular milk is a good treat that’s safe and hydrating tho.

It’s honestly saved me time and money just to put in an hours work on the weekends instead of buying premade.

I refused an unlawful order once.

It helped that everyone enlisted immediately agreed, but it escalated up the chain of command very quickly after we asked for a written order until it was agreed that it was a miscommunication and never happened.

To be fair they could order you to do a lot and just hope you do the implied, even verbally said, but unwritten thing. But when I was in we had clear training about what was and wasn’t unlawful to prevent abuse. If we had done it and had no proof we were really 100% officially ordered then it could have been pinned on us. Which is why my first response was, is that an order? Followed with citing the written order that said we could not do that thing and asking for a written order to do the thing. Just following orders works both ways.
