If you find the right spot they can be, just probably not anywhere that close to shore.
Though if you were dressed like that in a little rubber raft on any part of Alaska’s coast you’d probably be hypothermic or on your way to it. The ocean’s may be warming but the water is still damn cold even in the middle of summer.
Sounds like the RNA needs a better work life balance. Get out, live a little. Change careers. Stuck in a rut making skin cells? Try making blood cells instead!
That might be cancer…
Nah, WoW. Off the company RAID.
Ginger is just a descriptor. He’s a cunt who happens to be ginger and unloved.
Tennessee can keep their Whiskey. Kentucky has got us covered.
I kind of miss nosleep.
Also, mice used to be a novel way to interact with a computer that nobody was comfortable with.
There aren’t a lot of people left who are comfortable in a pure keyboard environment. Much less the flip switches on early PDPs.
Computer interfaces change. Being uncomfortable using an interface that’s new to you is indicative of nothing.
Both of these read like the author is simultaneously looking down on both groups of developers in disgust and trying to represent them as some kind of idealized stereotype of a specific group of developers.
Bezos is the example they were using to illustrate their point. Which isn’t a strawman argument by any definition of the term.
That’s a statistic that can, in fact, be proven. They should probably cite a source for it, but given how you set the level of the discussion, I can see why they’d think that level of effort is unnecessary.
Posing a question can be a way to make a point. It’s called a rhetorical question. It helps the argument if you follow up with an answer to the question, but the question on its own is enough to make a point.
Yes, precious.
Not if you’re using your card. The card can still be cloned with a few seconds of physical access. Also, with a card, there’s no PIN verification with tap to pay and no signature requirements. Because of that most countries have transaction size limits for tap to pay. Usually in the $50-$100 USD range. The US, notably has no such limits. So, if someone steals your card they can use it up to your balance/credit limit, or up to the transaction limit your bank sets, typically about $10,000 USD.
Tap to pay using a phone, apple watch, or similar device is more secure because they have actual 2FA and generate unique payment information for each transaction on top of the already existing encryption of the transaction data. Additionally, cloning the underlying payment info would require being able to access the secure enclave on the phone.
Also, the chips aren’t that much better than the stripe. It’s harder to clone the chip and much harder to do en masse, but far from impossible. On top of that, the measure that is supposed to prevent cloning from being viable is almost never actually required, that being the PIN.
It’s called “Chip and PIN” for a reason. It’s a 2FA system where one of the factors just isn’t required and the other can be readily compromised. It’s baffling how we have a functioning system for digital payments when seemingly no one is willing to properly implement and then use a secure standard.
Was Weird Al on Breaking Bad?
Sounds like something The Onion would write.
I have yet to encounter a US ISP that doesn’t have laughably bad customer service.
The reason I don’t switch is because there are no other options.
The fuck are they smoking? I’d really like to try it because there isn’t a substance in known reality that would make that statement not sound hilariously, institutionalizably insane.
Personally, I felt like Win8 was an over correction in favor of touch screens vs Win7. Win8.1 was kind of the sweet spot for getting touch screen functionality into Windows while maintaining a consistent UI between tablets, laptops, and desktops. So much so that I would consider it to be separate point on the chart between 8 and 10.
Win10 did improve the UI a bit over that, but was so much of a step backwards in basically every other regard that I do consider that the point at which Windows started trending consistently downwards. As in, Win10 should be lower then Win7 on that curve, with Win11 lower than that, and no real hope that any future updates or versions will ever improve anything.
It’s been that long? My sister has a 5yr old and a 4yr old that I babysit on the weekends and I made the mistake of showing them The Nightmare Before Christmas last year. For my sister and I it was our Christmas movie and I wanted to continue the tradition.
I only see my nieces for two days out of every week, but over the last year I’ve seen that movie so many times that I frequently wake up with “This is Halloween” stuck in my head or catch myself humming “Oogie Boogie’s song.”
I keep trying to show them other movies but it’s seemingly the only thing they want to watch, and they’re so polite about it that it’s basically impossible to say no. I keep hoping they’ll grow out of it or find something else, but it seems like I’m stuck watching this one movie forever.
That is generally what I use in my homelab. Though I’ve found that Fedora works a bit better for a general purpose daily workstation OS.
Did you even read the wiki? It’s so easy! Totally beginner friendly provided a basic level of literacy.
/s, hopefully obviously. Arch is a fragile house of cards.
I think you mean here.
