Honestly, I was only interested in the hardware. Nokia made most of the phones that ran Windows phone and they made bricks.

Sigh… Your supposed to let it run for a second when you switch drinks. Noone wants to drink homeopathic Fanta, or I-Cant-Believe-Its-Not Coke with lime.

I would imagine it has, but… ATC training takes a few years and the ones who have stuck it out have been in those roles a long time. There is a cohort of staff who all started and will leave the service at around the same time. I would imagine they are seinor staff or managers by now in their careers, but that much institutional knowlege leaving at the same time would be just as damaging.

The dems have to engage the left they have completely alienated. The people on the edge of their overton window that think the dems are a complete and total failure and also invoke Godwins law every time a GOP policy is duscussed. Instead the dems think the people they need to seek are the centerists… And well… Look what that got them last time.

Its an oldere meme sir, but it checks out.

That is also the philisophical crux of The Witcher series (books and games, not the TV show now starring the least-hot hemsworth)

Support for what ever she decides is next, although I feel like the senate would be a better step. However the democrats dont really have a face to back that isnt some centerist that thinks its ok to play with the bully after they have taken your lunch money or someone that is older than Wonder Bread ™.

Im at step 2 of 3, and feel about the same. Do I regret what I did when I was younger, somewhat, it was just cringe until ~27… Would I slap the shit out of my younger unmotivated ass, absolutely.

The most unbelievable part of that entire film is that President Dwayne Elizondo Mountian Dew Herbert Camacho didnt take credit for solving the crisis at the end of the movie.

Fair, plus the law never looked kindly on it. Just because you would get dressed up to shoot at some one does not mean you didnt shoot someone.

Idiocracy.

Back in the day, honor was a more tangible thing. People with beef would shoot at each other with smooth bore pistols. The point was they were wildly inaccurate and most people would stand their ground and walk away, honor intact. That isnt a thing in [checks year]… Guns are far too accurate, swords are very out of fashion, and Chess-Boxing never really took off. There does not appear to be a modern evolution of that tradition and I feel like society would do well to find something to fill that void (without the lethality… obviously… but that was partially the point back then).

The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.
To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.
To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.

VLAN setting are probably your best bet to prevent communication with your normal devices and lock the IOT devices off in their own section of the network where they cant snoop around. Same goes for Wi-Fi, make a new SSID for just IOT stuff and let them only see themselves and the default gateway.

Yah… You dont own your OS on W11, you had better script those changes or they might be reverted on major updates. (They do that for the default browser all the time, and they will likely break that script every year or two)

This is why the [gestures broadly to Lemmy community] evangalizes for Linux so much, everyone is going have to learn a new OS anyway. Aside from what ever Apple is doing, there really are only two choices, a free and open source suite of software that is trusted because everything is public and auditable, or an OS that activly contributes to the creation of the Torment Nexus. We do get that some applications wont work on linux, but my response to that is to look for a new version anyway, your living on borrowed time. Windows 11 is rolling full speed ahead on breaking compatibility with everything Microsoft did not make (and therefore cant update to collect data on you).

We are in the “telling the public what evidence they have will alert the perps” phase, only wild media speculation until the investigators are done doing their thing.

I look forward to Internet Historian doing one of his stock image gilliamation videos about this.

Why isnt it working?

IDK, but I like what ever Norway is smoking.

[puts hand on sholder] They arn’t *intelligence enough to realise that it’s bullshit and that nowadays it’s all about money. * Managers specificly are paid to drink the coolaid, unless your being hired by a triple threat (can do the job, manage people, and spin it all for managment above them) your going to be stuck working for some peter principal shmuck who is probably good enough at one of those things.

Not to be too pesimistic but your job is to blow smoke, unless your working for yourself or you managed to find one of those unicorn bosses. In the latter case, do what you can to be along for their ride.

Plus they have a club card (because I sure as hell dont).
