How about a simple test: if you remember Kent State happening, you’re now too old for office.

I remember mine, and my childhood best friend’s Prodigy account IDs.

Easy. You write it into the sales agreement. Sales agreements are contracts where both parties agree to do certain things in exchange for other things.

While most agreements are pretty simple, you give up money in exchange for goods, or services, it’s also easy to write “You will pay the purchase price ($…) to Tesla and also sit through our fucking FSD demo, in exchange, Tesla will deliver 1 ugly-ass car shaped like a fat roller skate,” or similar.

I’m glad I’m not the only person that doesn’t really understand the whole Thing behind Twitter / Mastodon feed thing.

The mere fact that HP is demonstrating they can do this, even if they pinky swear they won’t do it for corporate or business clients means that any business worth their salt will avoid buying HP products.

output x+y+z+æ+the proof to P=NP.

I’m sure there’s an npm module for that.

Tesla would just get up and lie to the public like that?

(Why would the human’s inebriation level matter if the vehicle is moving autonomously?)

That sub was mostly cops just repeating their own bad interpretation of the law. Terrible.

Even as a big fat homo, and presuming I could get into that position, I don’t want to stare at my own dick all day.

Funny how so much recent talk has emerged yet again about how companies like Microsoft want to get rid of disc drives on their next Xbox… […]

While I will freely admit that the lack of a physical drive is a huge way to drive downloaded (and licensed, revokable) content controlled by the company, it’s worth noting that physical media is really not all that great a medium for transferring things like games or movies anymore. Blu-ray discs can hold, in ideal situations, around 50GB of data. A lot of games – especially AAA games, are well beyond that. I think Spider Man 2 came in at like 85GB? The internet says Hogwarts Legacy is ~75GB on XBox.

Network connectivity, and downloading content to our devices is almost certainly going to be the way a lot of the world works going forward. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be able to back our content up elsewhere, or offload it to some other device.

Your right in noting that the laws and regulations need to keep up and protect consumers’ right to the content they’ve purchased.

edit: Here, I’ll bold the important part.

It’s an uncomfortable way to watch porn.

Well that’s what I see.

Also, I wonder how that works if you’re colorblind?

It’s orange, blue, and yellow fyi.

Absolutely. The crawler is doing some rudimentary processing before it ever does any sort of data storage saving. That’s the sort of thing that’s being persisted behind the scenes, and it’s almost certainly both not enough to reconstruct the web page, nor is it (realistically) human-friendly. I was going to say “readable” but it’s probably some bullshit JSON or XML document full of nonsense no one wants to read.

Recall for a font. A fucking font.

Really this is just further proof that software developers should be no where near automotive design.

They’re apparently for things that are already heavily tested in prior models and haven’t changed.

Like the cockpit door is the same in a bunch of planes, or something, no need to test it in every plane model, etc.

Ars wrote a decent article about it a while back. I dug it up - https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2019/11/half-an-operating-system-the-triumph-and-tragedy-of-os2/

It’s a fun read. The tl;dr: OS/2 had lots of features Windows didn’t, but IBM is notoriously bad at marketing, and failed to beat Microsoft in the public perception arena.

It’s a trial program, to work out the major kinks, issues, and problems before rolling it out further to other states.

It’s also federal-only, meaning you still have to do your state returns. Most of the states in the trial have no state income tax, which makes it an ideal solution for taxpayers in those states.

Expect it to expand to all 50 states in the coming years, presuming Republicans don’t somehow manage to legislate it into oblivion like usual.

That used to be Google, when they were interested in providing quality results and showing ads alongside those results, instead of just… being an ad company.

Before that, it was Yahoo, when they were interested in providing quality results, and showing ads, instead of just being an ad company.

Before that, it was AltaVista, when they were…

…Ask Jeeves…

We’ll see who’s next.
