DDR4 prices have come up too. In fact, DDR3 and even DDR2 prices have spiked.

For all practical purposes, the same as now.

Well, exercises like this aren't just about gathering info, they are IT training too. If one of the people who fell for it gets another email promising a day off for clicking a link, they should now think twice. Hopefully they start checking all links before clicking them.

I understand they are overworked and the day off was enticing, but who doesn't view every email with distrust and suspicion these days? Yeah, it sucks, but that's the reality we are in.

They might not trust the security team to be their friend, they have no reason not to trust them as a coworker doing their assigned job.

They may perceive the personal cost as being low, but that is the real issue. If digital security is breached because of their actions, when a small amount of due diligence can easily prevent it, they are responsible. Losing your job because ransomware you let in took out your employer's computer system is a pretty big personal cost. May make it hard to get hired somewhere else too.

Locking down work computers further and further until users can't possibly do anything damaging also makes doing work on those computers slower and more frustrating. It's cost me many many hours, because coworkers can't take 2 seconds to think critically.

I had a Mitsubishi Mighty Max, and about once a month I wish I hadn't sold it.

10 years is too long. There is a big difference between a 70 and 80 year old driving. Bigger from 80 to 90. And everyone else could deal with more frequent reinforcement of good driving habits too. I think every 2 years is probably about right. Sure, it would be inconvenient, but it would definitely save lives.

No, that is not normal practice. If you do that, you aren't just eating the loss of what your employer should have paid you, you would be paying taxes on money you didn't make.

I had a manager at a bar try to feed me that line after a very slow shift and I refused. Anyone pushing that as standard practice either has been direly mislead, or is screwing you over for the company's profit.

A truly horrifying prospect.

More water and energy efficient to run, yes. If you have to replace them every couple of years the resources used to make new ones need to be included too though, and that will have a big impact on the comparison. That said, I have had a modern front load pair for at least 5 years now, no issues.

For the parents. I feel bad for the kids.

There is such a disconnect with people not being able to understand/remember this inherit limitation. LLMs talk like a thinking entity, so even if they have been told it is not one and believe it, they revert back to thinking of it as one.

Even if they didn't, this was inestimably more impactful than a couple hundred people degoogling.

That hole may not have been made for you, but you WILL fit.

That chart isn't of "how low" the men in the study would go, it the age of the women ranked most attractive by the men in the study. Still isn't great, agreed, but it is talking purely about physical attractiveness.

Here is the chart from the same study about what age ranges the men in the study said they would find acceptable to date. By 28 years old, 20 is no longer within the field.

You....buy a book and then throw it away after you read it? Anyone does that?

Crazy cheap deployment, but I don't think those panels will stand up to it very well. The vibration is bad enough, but metal fragments are the real threat, I suspect. I've been in a few rail yards, and vehicles that habitually get parked close to rails that are in active service have paint damage from tiny metal chips flying off the rails and wheels. Unless they have some kind of replaceable clear shield, those panels will not just get dirty, they'll get slowly sandblasted till not much light is actually reaching the photovoltaic panel.

Back when my wife and i were dating I kept talking about wanting a skeleton watch, but I never thought to communicate what that was, and didn't know why she was always so profoundly unenthused by something I was showing interest in, it was unlike her. She was much happier about it when my folks got me one for x-mas and she found out it it was not, in fact, a watch decorated with skeletons, lmao.

The picture was actually of a crew member's son. They thought it would be mean to use a girl's picture.

These people literally got off their chairs during their college graduation from a prestigious university to protest the shit Google is doing!

Each person who did that made a bigger impact, and probably a bigger sacrifice, than a person who degoogled. That was my point.

Ultimately we need people to degoogle, but until way more people pay attention to why they should, it will remain a niche thing.

My god. Somehow I hadn't thought of doctors using LLMs to make decisions like that. But of course at least some do.
