No, that's EXACTLY the EU regulation too. Up to and including the 2026 exception for laptops.

I didn't look into every little detail. But EU's regulation certainly is not only for phones.

We need a bot for this. Synopsis should be added to the tldr-bot or something.

BUT YOU'RE FLYING! You are sitting in a chair. In the air!!! You're like a Greek god right now.... YOU ARE FLYING!!

I swear the Wright brothers would kick us all in the cunt right now if they knew... "Hey Orville, they're gonna make us wait on the runway a bit." "O shit, it hardly seems worth it then."

My wife is pregnant. In her last month now. The discomfort and sacrifices woman go through... I've been joking that if it were men being the ones going through pregnancy, we would've perfected incubating the fetus in a machine or something decades ago. Also, 12 months of paid paternity leave, at the minimum. I'm not sure I'm joking...

Gotcha ✔️

Pacific Rim

Makes no sense in ANY way but boy is it fun to watch. Some YouTube thingy called it the worst best and best worst movie ever, so...

They can't cross any other tracks/roads. I.e. everything else must go above/below it.

In that case you totally don't. But many ISPs only allow their own routers/modems or require some very specific abilities from 3rd-party routers usually only found on more high end (expensive) models. So sometimes the last resort is double NATing (which is fine for most users).

A while back he (Musk) posted that individual blocklists are relatively expensive (cpu wise) to run, which is true. This has been getting much worse with the whole blue check debacle. People are blocking those idiots en masse. I'm fairly sure this is just a cost saving measure.

Yeah, but that's not relevant. That heat came from the outside in the first place. Heat pumps are very effective at moving heat, i.e. a 2kw unit kan move 8kw worth of energy. It's not that 8kw that's the problem. That's just the heat that's being moved. That's a net-zero operation. It's that 2kw that's used to move the heat which is a problem. That 2kw is effectively being added to the system, and it comes from whatever your local power grid energy mixture is.

Yup, I second NextDNS. It works perfectly, and the free tier is enough for my mobile, wife's mobile and my desktop. AdGuard is included, as are dozens of other (selectable) lists.

Yeah, default Ubuntu LTS webserver kicked the mysqld on a stupid query (but it worked on dev - all developers, someday) not too long ago...

The fact point 9 isn't called REAPERS is frankly unexcusable... ;)

Totally fair. Societal pressure is something to completely ignore though. Everyone doing the 'pressuring' can go fuck right off.

I have a kid. Second one on the way. I also don't like kids. None of them. I tolerate mine. I mean, I do all the good parenty things and stuff, but I can't wait for them to grow into adults.

That's the whole reason I want kids. Not because I want kids. But because I want adults I can call my children. Frankly, I don't know why, I just know I do. And I'm prepared to make the endless sacrifices that come with it. And I totally understand other people who don't want to do it.

Also, I hope to be able to raise some decent humans. The world can use those. It seems like assholes are breeding like crazy. I hope to offset that a little.

Fantastic. I just sent this to one of my clients. One of my personal goals is to free them of the excell-hell.

That's speculation. We don't know the nature of the singularity or even if it is a singularity.

Yeah, I'd be a bit more careful about making statements on physics education. The setup in itself is breaking physics itself. Arguing about what would happen is like saying "if we ignore the rules, what would happen according to the rules?". It's theoretical either way and there's no correct answer.

The fucking irony of the "flaired users only" tag above it is just so funny.

Oh damn... This will catch on quick. Lol
