I hate the fact that if you want to change the case on a file in windows, you can’t just replace the offending letter. You have to change the name completely, then change it back with the correct casing. Then Windows will finally keep it.

Milk-V just keep churning these things out. I wonder what the RISC-V market looks like? I assume they’re targeting business application and not hobbyists? I’m very much ignorant, and have never seen an implementation using RISC-V anywhere.

I actually ordered a Mars just yesterday but I get the feeling, after initial intrigue, that it’ll be a curiosity that sits in the drawer until it eventually gets thrown away. Maybe it was a good thing Meles was sold out at the time of my order. haha

I always made the mistake of starting to edit videos, finish up, then looking up the video fps and matching the project type before output. Immediate crash.

maybe it is tax reasons? I know that for personal taxes you have to simply declare crypto earnings but business tax laws don’t really like grey areas.

In the USA, if it is not explicitly written in your job description/contract that you are remote, yes. It also means you can’t apply for unemployment as you were terminated for refusal to perform work duties, even if you are working.

I was going to upgrade to a 6500XT to do some 1080 gaming but found out that I was on Gen3. AMD cheaped out and only put 4 lanes on the 6500XT, which meant not enough bandwidth. I don’t know how much of an outlier I am, as comparing which board has what generation is not easy.

Forgive my ignorance, but an apartment where the landlord is removed and people just pay building maintenance is… a condominium, no?

It was a long time ago, but I’m pretty sure I just put it in the windows Startup folder. It’s not installed as a service or anything.

Yup, I hate that Microsoft chat programs no longer give you the option of showing available whenever signed in. Has to force it’s own system of timeouts and away. So people will start emailing me thinking I’m away when I’m just waiting for a ping. Ended up installing Caffeine and having it press Shift so that the system will recognize that I’m actually alive and available.

How would they even know you are the driver and not a passenger?

Last time I tried it let me create a local account, then about a week later I got called because Windows threw a full-screen blocker on boot saying a Microsoft account was required to continue with “I’ll do it later” being greyed out. Oddly enough, ALT+F4 worked to close it and continue.

I’ve seen it. It’s almost like a form of ADHD training. Make sure the person’s attention is never on something for too long, and make sure the attention snaps to whatever ad pops up.

last time I tuned into AM radio, I got shivers with the amount of hate consistently being spouted on each station I tuned to.

I wouldn’t shed a tear if all that hate suddenly vanished, but I’d rather it not be because automakers wanted to save $0.05 per vehicle.

You forgot the VPN service they install without consent.

I’m guessing ease of installation/use.

I’m curious, the current flash drive you are using… does it allow paging files? I would figure flash media would be marked portable to the OS and not allow page files to be used.

As somebody who has had to set up smartcards, yes. It’s a linux system managing that. The end-user GUI stuff is all Windows though.

There’s a surprising amount of Linux in some hospitals… but people just don’t see it. Fetal Monitors? Probably Linux. User tracking and auditing software? Also Linux. Network downtime document viewer? Linux. Heck, the software that carts use to print sheets to the network printers is CUPS.

I would be so confused and so very angry at the end. I had a hard enough time working inside vim-tiny.

I’ve tried. Check how large the list got before I completely blocked the domain a couple years ago. And it STILL let stuff through, as they constantly add more crud that infests the pages. The focus isn’t on the content, it’s on the revenue… and they push hard on the revenue. I bet every single module has an extensive list of trackers attached.
