I’m in fire/EMS and we had some with a smell that is best described as “college drinking party”.
Like the adult professionals we are: we’d trick our coworkers into using it before we walked into someone’s house. We stopped when someone complained we were clearly drinking on the job.
Ethanol based hand sanitizers became popular during covid due to shortages and I still run into them occasionally. They’re the ones that smell like moonshine … I still advise against drinking them.
For what content?
Seriously though, quality 4k media is hard to find outside of … “finding it” on the internet.
“Look, we lowered prices!” – ignoring that the new “lower” prices are still higher than the pre-tariff prices.
It’s funny, because that’s exactly what I did around the age of 13 to bypass my school’s firewall. I had everything on a USB drive, including Ghostzilla and PuTTY so I could browse through an SSH SOCKS tunnel. Mind you, my home computer was the SSH server – but these days it wouldn’t be hard to get a VPS in a less restrictive country:
“Hey [parent], can I borrow your credit card to set up a server so my friends and I can play [game] together?”
It takes one kid in a group to set something like this up.
My daily driver laptop, home servers, media center, NAS, etc are all Linux.
My gaming computer isn’t – as much as I would like it to be. There are certain things (particularly VR) that don’t want to work in Linux.
You kids don’t know how good you have it!
I had a 9" HP mini 2140– the keyboard was surprisingly good given its size.
It’s just a shame the build quality matched the price and they fell apart in short order.
I contacted their customer support and had them delete my account. I also sent them an email as to why, and stated I’d be telling everyone I know not to shop at REI.
Fuck them.
They make a lot more than car navigation systems. Their recreational gear and avionics are top of the line.
Pretty sure it’s a joke/reminder about jury nullification. “Luigi Mangione obviously isn’t guilty – the guy they got on camera looks nothing like him.”
You can’t get a manual gearbox here any more.
Another factor contributing to the discontinuation of manual transmissions is the increasing emphasis on safety features and the integration of advanced driver-assist technologies.
Ew.
Technology has never been the problem: there’s nothing wrong with genetic engineering, AI, etc. They can (and have) been used for good.
The problem has always been the “greed is good” sociopaths using it for evil.
I flew from Jermany to Tanzania and saw some jeriatric jiraffes.
I say it “Jif” because:
In places where natural gas is cheap and electricity is expensive cost is a factor
Every city in the western world already has at least one rack of servers running 24/7. The have their own domain names, they have a web presence, etc – running a mastodon instance on existing infrastructure hardly qualifies as wasteful.
It’s not and if anything the fact it’s small has advantages. Small is easier to turn into an echo chamber.
If you can push bullshit onto a small but passionate group of people online they’ll do all the hard work for you. They’ll recruit, polish/tailor the message for other audiences, and spread it across the wider internet.
And we know it works, because that’s exactly how the whole “Q-anon” thing operated. Some vague, crazy bullshit on an obscure imageboard became a nearly mainstream “movement”.
You’re thinking of denatured alcohol, AKA methylated spirits.
