I remember. The turbo on my 386 didn’t make it faster. It made non turbo mode slower.

The worst and best thing you can do when using vim is learn the movement keys (h, j, k, and l) because they’re so powerful and work no where else.

The Christian god is just a spurned lover who wrote in their diary about how stupid and mean their ex is and they should never have dumped him.

Satan is the dumper and has moved on long ago.

I tend to do my primary shopping at a place where you bag your own. The order is generally produce and bulk items first (it tends to be the bulk of the purchase), then frozen things, boxed/canned things, and finally squishy things like bread, eggs, and uh, delicious Hostess fruit pies.

Absolutely. The crawler is doing some rudimentary processing before it ever does any sort of data storage saving. That’s the sort of thing that’s being persisted behind the scenes, and it’s almost certainly both not enough to reconstruct the web page, nor is it (realistically) human-friendly. I was going to say “readable” but it’s probably some bullshit JSON or XML document full of nonsense no one wants to read.

Oh no, this was back in the days when we loaded our distros by way of a stack of floppy disks.

sudo rm -f /lib /usr/share/backup/blah blah.tar.gz

Note the space.

Obviously that was Obama.

You can, in Windows, boot into a no network safe mode and set various registry and group policies to stop Windows updates.

If you’re particularly frisky, there are alternatives to the WSUS, Windows Server Update Service you could deploy on your local network.

It’s a lot of work, though.

There was one years ago I had where all you needed was to type course.pass(true) into the console.

It’s a twofold scam.

One, because the person is buying new, it’s driving up sales to a bunch of “confirmed” addresses, which is an important metric for Amazon sales.

Two, the “random” destination is a second customer’s address, and the friend is being an unwitting proxy in a drop shipping scheme.

Tandem Diabetes, the people that make one of the few insulin pumps out there, quite vocally demand that, to keep your official apps working, you not update to the latest versions of Android or iOS.

Such bullshit.

For me, it was the surprise song in Dragon Age Inquisition, when they performed “The Dawn Will Come.”

You’d just had a huge battle, the hero was a low point, and they break out into this… thing. It’s stunning and so well done.

Mirab, with sails unfurled.

All cool, but not what the FCC can do.

To pass laws, look to Congress. Remember to vote for the candidates you think will help accomplish those sorts of things.

Fine! Geez.

Space aliens could teleport in next to sun, fling a bunch of Star Trek red matter at it like Spock did to the Romulan star, destabilize the star, and cause a, I think it was a black hole? where the star was. And we wouldn’t know for 8-ish minutes.

The vertical tabs are why I keep it around.

The sun could’ve gone nova 8 minutes ago and we wouldn’t know for another 20 seconds or so.

The mark of a great teacher.

Perhaps not great, but effective. This attitude is exactly how working in the corporate world works. Reality and being right are rarely, if ever, the important thing. Following the rules, doing what you’re told, and sitting the fuck down and shutting the fuck up? That’s what this teacher was teaching their students.

Devices that are no longer supported and kept up to date with security updates contain known, but unpatched, vulnerabilities. Some of them are software based, but some are a function of the hardware itself. Connect these to a network, manage to do something that gets them compromised, and you’ve given bad actors a foothold on your network.

Because most networks, especially home networks, tend to be configured in a way that trusts local network traffic more than external traffic, such a foothold can further compromise your systems. Very few people have the resources, or technical know-how to properly segregate potentially dangerous or vulnerable devices on a network.

That’s what.
