It is said that when English went from old English (which was gendered) to modern English, part of the problem was that the genders of the Germanic roots didn’t match the genders of the French influences so the people chose to just skip it all together.

My cat’s whiskers were breaking short and when I noticed I switched to a shallow bowl designed for cats. It immediately helped. Cats Ike plates and shallow bowls over tight spaces.

No, it appears that just plugging it in won’t make it go, you have to plug it in and press the button.

It really depends on what device you are connecting. My range/oven has the option that I never set up because I don’t want to preheat it when I am not home.

But I did get a smart wall outlet that I plugged my coffee maker into so I can turn it on from my bed in the morning.

They did this a lot in the 90’s too. Production companies love to ground an IP into the dust.

And then you get the SUPER GRAPE that is dimetapp

I remember once someone made DOOM but every time you killed an enemy it would kill -9 a random process.

Wouldn’t this form of website blocking only work if the user uses their dns?

Would self hosting an unbound server bypass all of this?

Yup meta joke.

My house growing up had a bunch of those (female) ports around and we had the adapters to convert them to RJ11.

I am very willing to debate this leading up to and during the primaries, but once those are done I am going to vote against the GOP no matter who is on the ballot.

This is a problem with more than just Microsoft. Any software (game, application, library, whatever) that has had many years of updates some of which are breaking, will have this problem with docs.

Oh you are using version 5.5.24 of xyzlib? All these docs are a mixture of stuff when 4.2.57 was out and stuff someone tried to update when 7.5.14 released.

Reminds me of the Hollywood trope of a character saying “In English please” after any reference to something on a computer.

I hate it so much when they do it. The writers should just say it the way an IT admin would and move on. Pretending that the character is speaking another language is just anti intellectual bullshit.

No human would stack books that way.

I HATE that windows will sort folders at the top instead of alphabetically with everything else. I guess it comes from using a Mac for so long.

I agree about .DS_Store in any mixed os environment though.

I remember having a friend ask why my mouse connected to a s-video port.

It still has problems. Mainly you need to get power out there and the heated exhaust water can mess with the ecosystem.

I remember there was talks about a floating data center in the ocean.

My son had to edit a video for a project in high school. I installed kdenlive for him and he had no problems figuring it out, and it did a great job.
