The difficulty of keeping something working scales exponentially as its complexity grows. Something of 1x complexity take 1y effort, but 2x complex is 10y effort, 3x complex is 100y, on and on.

Phones/computers/apps are at hilarious levels of complex now, and even 100k people running flat out can barely maintain the illusion that they “just work.” Add enshittification heaping its intentionally garbage experience onto the unintentional garbage experience that is modern computing, and it’s just gotten stupid.

They opt not to refund after the return window closes. You will get a generic email that the item was not received in the time alloted.

Corporations hide crimes all the time, even when they are the victims. If the crime will lose them money in any way, either directly or from a reputation hit, it’s very likely a company will not report it.

It only because the employees involved had their NDAs expire and confirmed they saw some very fucked up things that we know what he did.

Twitch fired him publicly when he was one of their biggest streamers. It’s fully possible the explicitly sexual messages are a crime, but the parties involved, including the minor victim, did not want it reported.

You can argue amazon should have reported it anyway if it rose to that level, but with none of the involved parties forcing the issue, it makes sense from a buisness stance not to.

I don’t have plasterboard walls. They are lath and plaster.. The studs and framing are beautiful old hardwood.

It’s a sturdy and lovely old house that has stood the test of time. It’s one of the millions in the states that I was talking about.

There are 100 year old houses in America made of fine timber or brick that look better than this and will last longer.

It’s a big country. Modern construction is rarely built to last, but there are millions of homes here that would fit your description without issue.

Yeah, this is the normal price of a house in many large cities. It’s a lot mind you, but an adult in a high paying field can get a mortgage that covers that.

You don’t need a million dollars to buy a million dollar house. You need to be able to make a million dollars and enough to live on in 30yrs, or whatever the length of the mortgage is. Someone in their 30s-40s can fit that bill, so just be yourself.

If they ask if you have financing, say yes. If they ask more questions, say you will be glad to discuss that after the tour. Afterwards, just politely say you’re not interested and leave.

I think that’s common in gaming development. You work on a project until it’s done, then pivot to another or get let go.

The game bombing likely doesn’t help but I expect most devs involved expected this. Apparently development ran 3-4 years, which is a good time to leave a job in tech generally, if not earlier if you want to maximize income.

He worked for the gaming site/podcast “Giantbomb” years ago. Pretty sure the image macro is pulled from one of their podcast videos.

The MAC is generally the fingerprint. Looks like Apple handles this when searching as well:

I haven’t heard of anything else besides MAC being broadcast during the searching phase. Can you give an example or technical term?

They use randomized MACs there too.

You can set MACs to not randomize for specific WiFi, but by default it’s on and random.

IPhone/android randomize their MAC addresses now to prevent this kind of long term tracking.

Stores will see you walking the store anonymously and be able to create a general customer heatmap, but since this virtual MAC rotates, they won’t be able to correlate this to you indivdually long term.

Peanut is a versatile flavor. Sweet, savory, whatever.

You could use it with ketchup if you like. The mix could be a pretty nice combo to use as a sauce for a Thai dish, honestly. Just on bread would probably be pretty overwhelming alone.

Costco sometimes has a 2 pack for around $10. Probably worth it.

My vote is sky valley. Both their red and green sirachi are amazingly. Really bright and solidly hot while still wellbeing balanced. Also at Costco, but it may be regional.

and waits for his change.

Haha of course.

He says he reinvests it all, which may be true. Amazon also famously did the same for about 20 years, but Bezos still lived like a billionaire off loans/etc during that time.

I think his companies are making around 800 mil/yr in revenue, so it’s just billionares rubbing elbows. Class warfare as usual.

They told her go move the pot of water, so she complied. The murder was across the room, and only when lightly rebuked did he opt to pull his gun and charge toward her, shouting that he would “put a fucking bullet in her face.”

She immediately started apologizing and dropped to the ground. The murderer then fired 3 shots at her, with one piercing her face and throat.

Since the murderer illegally didn’t have his camera on, it’s hard to tell if the scared woman was holding the pot of water when she dropped to the ground in fear. It is easy to tell, thanks to his partner’s bodycam, that he was in no danger when she made a mild comment in her own home while committing no crimes, at which point she was brutally murdered.

No, but yes.

Crowdstrike was one of the first companies doing EDR, and have a first mover advantage they have held onto. Lots of other companies offer good solutions now, but crowdstrike is still considered the gold standard, and they have worked hard to become the “default” for their market segment.

Rocky Rocky Linux

Rocky^2 linux for short

So far, thats the most specific reason someone has given to use XDG, but I dont think it accurate.

FHS is the most used, as it’s been the primary linux filesystem standard for decades. Isn’t it better to stick with it if the only metric is popularity?
