while your laptop is closed and presumably offline (fuck that shit). Then they will automagically uninstall bugs the next night to fix the problems with last night's install while your laptop is closed and presumably offline (fuck that shit).
Good luck figuring out why your laptop is unstable every few months.
I keep getting recipes calling for 6-8 oz chicken breasts. All I can find in my local megamarts are 1+ lb chicken tits. These are hard to cook, I usually end up halving them horizontally, which makes them cook better, but they don't taste better. Frozen chicken tits are iffy as hell, you never know what you're getting when you buy a bag. I've tried smaller chains and still find either 1+ lb over-amped disasters, or bags of frozen whetevs.
If you live in a city, where do you find your normal sized chicken boobs?
That said, I much prefer thighs over breasts. They haven't been bred to ginormous sizes, are cheaper (people are stupid), and taste better than the boobies.
Best case, they require a password to admin accounts. Worst case, jeez, I can't imagine. We'll start with IoT vendors who pay the most $$$ to re-election campaigns. And go downhill from there.
I don't care if it's DST or standard, just quit changing the damn thing twice a year. Myself, I prefer it getting darker later, whichever one that is. But I don't care enough to change my damned sleep cycle twice a year.
Back then the fun hack was to edit someone's.login file so the first line was logout. Back in the days of VT-100 tubes connected to VAXen running Unix.
Half the shit we did back then would get us tossed in jail for 10+ years now.
That would help show if the NSA or the Chinese government is the biggest privacy concern. I hate to say it, but I trust Huawei more than Cisco, given the current political climate.
All I can say is "Whoo hoo!" Mow them down, cut the welfare!

Do you really think Pelosi has a clue on what Net Neutrality is? Her political spider sense detected lots of people care about this, and looked around for big pots of $$$. The biggest pots of $$$ is what she's backing.
I shop at Vons which is a Kroger store ($5 friday for the win). I get where Kroger is coming from, Visa is now the bully demanding fees that are too high. But, I don't want to buy groceries with cash, and my 2 credit cards (yes kiddies, I only have 2 credit cards, albeit from different banks) are Visa, if Vons decides not to accept my card then Aldi's here I come. Smart & Final? Too expensive. Ralphs? Nearest one is 10 miles away. Albertsons? It's a Kroger. Sprouts? More a specialty shop, I can't fill out my list there. Trader Joe's? See Sprouts.
Mind you I love my Sprouts, and Trader Joe's is too far away to be worth the drive. But between Grocery Outlet and Aldis I can get my groceries just fine. Not saying I like that alternative, just saying it's my alternative.
Before you latch onto the "too far away", my friday morning routine is exercise class at 8, 99 cent store at 9, Vons at 9:15, library at 9:40 or so. I can tuck a Sprouts after the library if need be. Ralph's add 10 minutes each way into that.
Goddamitsomuch, it's already modded as high as it can. I fucking do not understand how Microsoft feels it's ok to reboot my machine at night, while it's supposedly sleeping and I'm definitely sleeping. Without a single message of "um, we wanna reboot. That cool?".
90% of consumers won't understand what's at stake. But tell them:
1: More competition == lower prices
2: A boatload of people will lose their jobs if this happens. People like you
3: 2-5 of the 1 percenters will make millions off this, while your prices go up and service goes down
and hopefully even the most MAGA'centric drunken dipshit will get a clue.
This is bad for America, this is bad for consumers, it can be argued this is bad for freedums!
and say I'm dead, and the asshats that shot me get off scott free. I'll bet that covers 90% of the scenarios.
The militarization of the police was a huge mistake that should be corrected ASAP. Not holding my breath tho, the cops seem to be hiring a bunch of shoot first ask questions later cowards. See the guy in Florida from a day or two ago. 911 told him to flag down the police. He did, and the cop shot him through his fucking windshield. This my friends is cowardice in action with absolutely no repercussions, no matter how egregious.
gets into a bunch of shit because he's working outside of ethical guidelines (btw,it's China), publishes his results and gets roundly castigated (Oh yeah, I think he got arrested. In China. For ethical somethings. In China). Nothing else matters. Dude got arrested in China for ethics. Nuff said.
What are the odds are he did something right, even though people who know much more than me say he's full of shit? I'm guessing pretty low.
Like journalism in the 90s programming is a dying field. Steer clear. There's a reason why "Learn to Code" became an insult/slur.
Don't forget how to properly differentiate:
- Worrisome Threat To Our Technological Edge: the Chinese/Indians reached in and took the secret sauce
- Shortage Of Qualified Engineers: we brought in people from China/India on short-term visas, taught them the secret sauce recipe, and forced them to return home.
- US Companies Must Remain Competitive: we outsourced the secret sauce to China/India to boost our quarterly results.
Electric razor. On my third, the others needed a blade replacement before the battery crapped out. Current one? Blades are fine, battery is dead. $40 I could have saved had I only known.
phone. My last phone had a replaceable battery, and I replaced it. Got years out of that phone before it got too slow to be useful.
ebook reader. Bought a Kindle Fire for, I dunno, $180 or so? 2 years ago. Battery is dying, took to an iFixIt store, they can't find the battery and tell me it will cost at least $130 for a $180 device. Faruck that.
You want to reduce the trash heading into a landfill? Let me buy a device with an easily replacable battery.
Teachers that took attendance every day and docked you for absences tended to be the teachers who's handouts were copies of copies of copies of 20 year old crap. Not to mention the lectures were useless. Best plan was to find out when the tests and quizzes were and what they covered, and skipped class. But skipping class cost you big time.
Teachers who's lectures were not to be missed. Fark the tests and quizzes, if you wanted to understand the subject you went to the lectures.
Goes without saying the first group of teachers had tenure and didn't care, the second group did not have tenure and did care.
and found out my flashlight app was calling home every 3-4 seconds. I hadn't used the app in months. Deleted it, installed a new one, things were good.
Uninstalled a couple other apps for the same reason. But the flashlight was the one that stuck in my head.
Unfortunately I had to uninstall the firewall app because it was draining my battery at a ridiculous rate. But I haven't installed an app since then so I think I'm good.
Seriously folks, if you run Android install a firewall app and be prepared to be shocked.
I've never heard of a single one of the websites that got hacked. I'm guessing said websites are shoestring operations who's business model is get in, maximize your $$$, get out.

Start a CD, work a while. when the CD ends take a break. Of course, now all my CDs are MP3 files.
I'm in my gown, backside sticking out, got into the position, doc did his bit, said I looked good, and left.
// actually told that joke to a friend who is a retired nurse
/// she didn't laugh, said that kind of thing happened all the time.
As the doc left the nurse came in and said "Who was that?"

The $$$ has gone into this bill, and odds are the $$$ are against my interests. So I care because, I dunno, reasons?
It's really sad when you realize both politacal parties trade my interests for $$$
I have smoke and I'm blind as a bat, please fart so I know where to blow it.

ohh, noonish. Maybe mid-afternoon bagel if I don't exert myself.
Maybe that's why they're closing. Question is, why should I care?

I got my BA in '81 or so.

YMMV, there was variation in mine.
