Taking things too seriously, fruits and vegetables are generally much smaller, and can not speak and hold a baseball bat.

There was a good episode of Planet Money where they interviewed some doctors who were trying to get rid of beepers at their hospital. Basically during testing, it was found that when using an app to send messages to doctors, it was almost too simple and non critical messages were being sent to doctors. This was creating a lot of noise and causing them to be overwhelmed and ignoring the notifications on the phone. It seemed as though the clunkyness of paging someone was a feature so that doctors on call were actually getting relevant information.

I refuse to use the Zoom client on my computer and instead use the web client. There might not be 1:1 feature parity, but it’s never been a problem for me with other people.

My take on it is there’s more downside doing the facial scan than opting out. The worst case is the scan can miss-identify you and then you get pulled aside for questioning. The worst case for opting out is raising suspicion with an agent? Sure all the security cameras could be doing facial recognition and come up with false positives, but why add another opportunity to be misidentified by doing the scan?

It also takes longer for the scan. I was with a group and figured I’d hold everyone up so positioned myself last, and it was 2 seconds to hand them my ID. The only way this the scan is more convenient is for people who don’t care to pull out their ID or are too timid to say “no facial”

Maybe you can check the manual if the laptop has a CMOS battery. If it does, you’ll have to take apart the laptop to remove the battery for a few minutes, which will reset all the settings.

Are CMOS batteries still a thing? Removing that and the laptop battery should wipe the BIOS to the default settings. Actually before that, can you reset the BIOS settings with the admin password, and will that wipe the user password settings?

Also in this scene, why was there an empty spot in the grid for the robot to blend into? If it took the place of another robot, what did it do with the remains of the other robot without time. A lot of “don’t think about it too much” in this movie.

David Dastmalchian will always be Joker’s thug/Fake Cop from The Dark Knight.

Pretty sure this is not the crying OP is looking for

I think he already holds this title since 2021.

Honestly, regardless of their education and experience, if you have this concern about a person, you should get a new roommate, assuming there’s more to your question than just a hypothetical.

All the time, there are shitty significant others who install a keylogger or screen recorder to monitor their spouse, because they’re fucked up. A lot of the time, they don’t have any technical background, and are the equivalent of script kiddies. They do this because they’re shitty people, not because they have a degree in computer science.

Thanks! Happy belated cake day to you too

I think I read somewhere that this would be the default for new instances if they don’t have one of their own. On an existing instance, the server admin would have to remove the existing license which would then load this license. So this could affect more than just mastodon.social.

That being said, since this was brought up, it has been put on pause while it is reevaluated

I have good memories of LAN parties playing a game called DEFCON which is basically the Thermonuclear War game from the 80s movie Wargames. The game itself is fairly basic but was a blast to play with a group and I am a sucker for the retro vector atheistics.

Not sure if Netflix counts, but I watched Dear Zachary on there and it broke me for a while.

Seriously, I’ve had multiple conversations with my BIL where he comes over to me and says something insane, and my response is just “huh okayyy…” and I walk away without saying anything else. I don’t care to be polite anymore.

This is the correct answer. The only thing I would add is some devices don’t allow changing the DNS IPs and are hard coded to 8.8.8.8 so Google blocking sites via DNS is still an issue. Of course you could intercept these requests, but with DNS over HTTPS becoming more popular, i would imagine that device manufactures will also start to do certificate pinning as well to prevent people from using their own DNS server.

Adding some more people haven’t mentioned:

• Guacamelee! on Steam
• Sundered on Stadia, funny enough. It was a great couch co-op Metroidvania

And this kinda explains/retcons how Ahsoka was able to take on all the clone troopers during Order 66 as they show at the end of that episode.
