Why is this happening to me?!
Vampires existed long before the church. They just have a brain disorder that gives them a seizure when they see straight right angles. Right angles don’t really exist in nature. Humans found out this and started making crosses. Humans created the church to maintain this knowledge during the vampires long hibernation periods of around 1000 years.

This is bad advice. Federated identity and oauth are great tools. You need to use the right identity provider.
When some random website gets hacked and has its authentication database dumped your credentials won’t be in there.
You can see what a website has access too from your identity provider.
It’s federation. It’s a trust model. Like the fediverse.

Why don't rabies infected humans act like rabies infected animals
Uneducated Opinion: Because our higher brain functions can surpress fight/flight better than most animals. It’s the same reason jumpscare movies generally don’t turn theaters into a real-life bloodbath.
By the time rabies has gotten far enough to override that, the nervous system is basically gone and we’re dead.

AMD says overclocking blows a hidden fuse on Ryzen Threadripper 7000 to show if you've overclocked the chip, but it doesn't automatically void your CPU's warranty
Reply in thread
They only have that option if you run the cpu outside of design spec. Rambunctious o/c’ers no longer get a free replacement at AMD’s expense, and helps amd figure out if there’s a problem with cpus if they are failing and are not o/c’d.

What are some "no brainer" inventions or features that just haven't made it to the consumer yet?

You don’t even need that. My microwave is wifi connected but still can’t keep time. Instead of using NTP like any appliances or industrial control system in the last decade+, it syncs to your phone time though an app.
Wtf.

Electric heat costs way less than reports say, new data suggests
Lumping resistive-only heat and heat pump heat together seems nearly criminal.

People have been cleaning their ears with cotton swabs for years. What other tools are being inadvertently used wrong?
I see people put fqdns into search engines all the time.
Stop searching for things like “espn.com”, just put it in the address bar.

Lenovo won the laptop war? They won it because they ship Ubuntu pre-installed? Where are you getting these jokes from?

What items are made better than they used to be?
Engines. 300hp out of 2L is impressive. It scales even better. V8’s can put out insane numbers.

From my limited experience they work, just at their own convenience. We should be more like them.

Proton Mail says that the new Outlook app for Windows is Microsoft's new data collection service
It’s basically gmail. It’s a web/email server that you give your creds over to . It has an offline mode that I guess makes it an app.
Yeah they read your shit.

We’re over-freezing our food. Turning up the temperature slightly could avoid 17 Mt of CO2

No. It’s like when toilets started getting smaller flushes. It doesn’t help on an individual basis, but as a whole it has an impact, even if it’s not a huge one.

Broadcom ends VMware perpetual license sales, testing customers and partners
I tasked my VAR to find out what our pricing is going to look like in 2024 when our support agreement is up. They said VMware is a mess right now, do t expect a response soon. I need time to migrate and decide if I’m sticking with on-prem or moving god damn workloads to some cloud. This is a fucking shitshow. I fucking hate shareholders.

White House blasts Nobel Committee for not awarding Peace Prize to Trump
"The Nobel Committee proved they place politics over peace," White House communications director Steven Cheung said after the announcement on Friday morning.
"President Trump will continue making peace deals, ending wars, and saving lives," Cheung wrote on X. "He has the heart of a humanitarian, and there will never be anyone like him who can move mountains with the sheer force of his will."

What's the most satisfying thing that's happened at a job you've had?
A newer employee was always complaining to management about our dept. at one point he wrote a long email that was mostly quotes from industry leaders saying how the industry despises our dept, that the changes we make are unnecessary. Our dept head received that email and showed it to me. It was pretty scathing.
So I looked up the quotes.
The employee had changed the quotes to fit their narrative. This is a no-no in their industry. The real quotes actually said that even though change is hard, it’s necessary and our dept is essential in making it go smoothly.
I wrote back to management, highlighted the changes they made to the real quotes, and suggested two things:
What they did may be ethically wrong.
How they did it in such a dumb way may be how they approach other aspects of their job. Maybe they aren’t good at it.
Never heard a peep from the employee again. They were asked to leave. I chortled when I saw their departure notice.
