Police drones. Surveillance “for your protection”

Fuck them!

Mine was a monster every two hours on my break. So much sugar and caffeine.

Fucking hell. It’s been almost twenty years and I still will sing along and dance with the meme video.

There is a reg key to add that disables bing search.

What I fucking hate, is that I exclusively use the start menu to start apps I’ve installed, but typing in the name of an app doesn’t show the installed app at all, just fucking ads. They literally took away the only functionality of the start menu unless I do a very intuitive method of reverting it.

It depends on how many drives you have to destroy. These things can be pretty quick and do hundreds or thousands of drives without much work.

It’s a machine specifically to desty hdds.

Something like this https://www.protondata.com/product/pds-75-hard-drive-crusher/

It’s a machine designed to destroy hard drives. They use a hydraulic ram to bend it and shatter the platters.

Because techs I work with are used to a gui, so it’s either get bad help I can direct or no help. And I don’t want to do everything myself.

Outside of a web scraper, how sure are we that this poisons reddits actual data being sold to ai companies? It seems trivial for them to have an original comment field in the database that’s invisible to users or just use backed up data. Or even an anonymized copy of all all original comments not linked to any account that is solely for AI training.

I don’t think there is a huge market for stolen Thule bars. I never got a lock for mine.

I’d be more concerned with anything on my bars. But I’m not going to leave anything valuable on mine and rely on those locks on my bars to protect it.

“under blind listening conditions as well as sighted listening.”

I decided to find this article and it’s more wild than I expected. I often listen with my eyes. It very much influences the quality of the audio I listen to.

It’s hilarious that they do it in a way that blatantly goes against the flag code. How disrespectful it is to change the flag, to wear the flag, or use it for advertisements.

I have seriously considered creating and printing pamphlets with the flag code on it to give to these faux patriots. Or maybe even those fake ticket things where I can check off what exactly they did to disrespect it.

I even had a neighbor who painted the floor of their trailer with it. They literally drove vehicles and trampled on the flag daily.

4 U.S. Code § 8 - Respect for flag

(d) The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery.

(g) The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature.

(i) The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever. It should not be embroidered on such articles as cushions or handkerchiefs and the like, printed or otherwise impressed on paper napkins or boxes or anything that is designed for temporary use and discard. Advertising signs should not be fastened to a staff or halyard from which the flag is flown.

(k) The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning.

Well, it is a parking brake and not an emergency brake. And while in an automatic you can use park and mostly rely on the parking pawl to keep the car from moving, on inclines it’s not good for the transmissions.

As much as I use Google maps, I’m always upset with it. It constantly wants to reroute me to whatever it decides is more “optimal” even when I put in a very specific route. I don’t always need the fastest, most fuel efficient, or whatever else Google decides is important route. Sometimes I want to the scenic route and just would like the occasional turn is coming up prompt.

It’s not particularly hard to open and disconnect the Wi-Fi antenna. But it probably voids the warranty.

I’m not excited for the day they realize that HDMI allows the transmission of network traffic through the device it’s plugged into.

Why that’s in the design, I don’t know. But I also don’t understand why HDMI has fucking DRM built into it.

You can look into “hospitality” tvs. The ones used in hotels and the like. Those can be better.

That’s if stores are the ones printing the price labels. Many prices are printed by the manufacturer on the packaging. They can print a single price on their product and ship it across the nation. All stores need to do is put it out.

Our taxes in general would need an overhaul for this. City tax, county tax, state tax. There is a different tax rate on different products.

I’m not against it, it’s just that the way the USA is organized with city, county, state, and federal hierarchies each able to levy taxes makes the implementation burdensome. Not impossible, but very difficult.

Service charges are bullshit. Businesses need to advertise the full price of the food.

Imo, this is simply unacceptable.
