Anything that could cause a vacuum tube processing unit to malfunction when stuck inside it, is a potential bug.

there is still hope

On the contrary, you should expect them to put more effort into using that stuff in ways that don’t benefit you than in ways that do.

Let’s go with one example. There’s this United Payments Interface (UPI) app called Google Pay.

• They let you add a comment when paying.

  • go to Google Checkout and download previous years payment data to help with accounting and you don’t get the comments along with it. You have to go into the app and open each entry, one-by-one to see what was what.

• They keep the timing information of when you pay.

  • They also know which tower you were connected to at what time
  • They also have location data from Maps being open at the same time
  • This would tell that they have the ability to let you check the exact position at which you paid
    • But will they let you? No. Even the timeline feature doesn’t give accurate history.
      • Because somehow they believe we will think that their database is that inaccurate and we are somehow safe (despite having the driving navigation on at the time)

• They started removing handy features to access timeline features from desktop.

  • somehow acting like it is making stuff more secure, when all it is doing, is reducing our ability to access our own data, while their “partners” can still do so.

Hey, just because you are dumb, doesn’t mean you can’t be absolutely right, sometimes.

If by streaming, you mean using a client-server architecture to get a sound signal to the aux port, then yes, I use mpv with pipewire.

Oh and I buy music from GoG and Steam.

Where, were, we’re.

I never had a problem with those, until I started with stuff like Reddit.

Now, I find myself making the mistake and catching it in proofreading.
Guess my brain is starting to age too.

Don’t waste the food.
Eat it yourself and send the video.

There was a cartoon on it too, no?

Simple:

1. Drink water
2. I Clear the snot in the wash basin every 30 minutes
3. I Don’t drink the snot that comes in backwards from your my nose, no matter how lazy you are I am feeling
   • spit it out in the wash basin
   • this way you I don’t get cough
4. I don’t take paracetamol or symptomatic relief medicine, instead keep 2-3 handkerchiefs to keep it clean
5. Sinuses blocked and blowing nose is not enough, there is a medicine for it. But if you can, try some mace and nutmeg powder instead.
6. Fever? Yes. I Sleep with it.
   • Feeling weak, I take some ORS (the one with sugar in it)

And the most important part, don’t go around coughing/snorting it at other people.

Sinuses blocked

There’s 2 types of medicines for this.
1 will dry up your nose, essentially stopping the exit of pathogens via that vector. The other will convert blocked-nose to running nose.
The 2nd one is desirable, if you want it to actually get fixed. Of course, you will need to clean your nose more often, as a result.

What happened to 19 Nov 2024?

A sterile cubicle.
Wish I could have had that.

I have dreamt a few times about having majorly messed up something while putting my computer back together (it was implicitly dismantled before the dream started). Then I wake up in the night to realise that it was a dream and the PC is still in working condition.

I was a little kid when I dreamt of a translucent phone with buttons that could reposition (that was before I saw touchscreens) all over the front surface.

I’ll take both.
One on each side of my house.

Now to by a few kilotons of ceramic tiles and zinc and copper wires.

Triple digits.
But I’mma use Kelvin

+1 for using “you’re” instead of what the chap above did

knife thing is annoying

Yeah, that was the first thing I found out, looking at the picture.
One would have to tilt the holder backward to take out the knife and then make a very unnatural feeling motion to get it towards themselves. Even worse if there is no space behind the rack (there is a window in the picture that will enable that if opened)

From what we know, carpets tend to create static electricity when rubbed, which might happen in situations where it is tread upon, which causes it to get charged. We also know, that since the materials used for carpets are bad conductors of electricity, having them stapled at only certain points won’t cause a significant grounding effect.

Now to design socks that use said static charge to electrocute the wearer hold onto the carpet better, reducing slippage.

carpeted

Carpeted as in, the carpet will slide relative to the stair, so it won’t matter how good and new your sports shoes are?

In a flight of stairs, if even one step is off 1/8 of an inch or 3mm, it can cause someone to trip.

I like running up stairs. Specially when there are a lot of them.

When I enter a new building, I go slowly, getting a feel of each rise. If it turns out to be not runnable, I then walk the same way all the time. Otherwise, I get to have fun, starting the next time.

That 1 off-step would make me hate whomever worked on that stair. That would increase by the amount of time I would have planned on staying at that place.
