I would love to know how much of a roll that meme played in her choice of degree. Like, in the parallel universe where everything is identical up to this fire, but this picture wasn’t taken (ie, the camera didn’t work or something), did she still choose that degree?

I mean, OP provided a source link.

In the third paragraph you mentioned “tux” but I’m guessing that you meant “tmux”. Just a clarification for readers not familiar with it and want to look it up.

I don’t understand.

“I have no idea who locked it in 2015,” she said.

So someone can just make your iphone inaccessible for a decade and you can’t override it or log in, even if you have the passcode?

On the Apple Support community, one user reported their iPhone had been locked for 50 years. Similarly, a post on 9to5Mac’s forum mentioned an iPhone disabled for “23614974 minutes”—about 45 years.

I’m sorry, what? I guess I’ll just add this to my list of reasons I’m glad I use Android. JFC.

No, it just prevents banks, etc from checking your credit score/rating, which prevents anyone from opening a new account under your name. When YOU want to open an account, you temporarily unfreeze it for a couple days so that the institution you’re opening an account at can check, and then refreeze it.

The credit agencies will continue monitoring how much credit you have and how well you pay your bills and adjust your score accordingly. Freezing has no effect on that.

The best time to have frozen your credit reports at all three agencies was many many years ago. The second best time is right now. Not tomorrow. Now.

In this narrow case, it’s considered proper/correct to pronounce the “x” like an “sh”, which greatly improves the tongue rolling.

… or xitter.

I don’t think any of those people are being relocated to Texas.

I hate to say it, but I’m inclined to think that the Russian government may simply block access to Firefox (and the Firefox addons site).

Probably true, but that’s not justification for Mozilla to save them the trouble by doing it for them.

Link is to the second page of the article. I thought it was odd how it kept saying “Smith said” without identifying who Smith is.

How would they know now? It’s the same answer. Stop being a dick.

ETH abandoned the trustless part. Now you’re supposed to trust the validators. Clearly, you can’t.

Wait. Am I reading this right? Their punishment for doing something that they weren’t supposed to be doing is just to stop doing it?

As are Big Macs.

This is what I was thinking at first. This just looks like classic chain letter.

But on rereading, it appears that the person at the top is controlling who’s sending books to who, and might even be dictating where you buy the book from, which is definitely a scam.

My guess on how this works. Upon DMing the person in control, you’re instructed to buy a book from a specific website (that they control) and have the book shipped directly from there to the “stranger.”. However, “stranger” doesn’t actually exist, no books are ever sent, and the person running this whole scam is just pocketing the money rubes spend on “books”.

Who says it was accidental?

I don’t understand why so many people can’t just go get their own damn food. Uber eats hasn’t been around long enough for you all to have forgotten what you did before, has it? How did you survive back then?
