x86 tablets are a thing

Maybe we need an anti-memes sublemmy…

An emotional-support gun?

How much red could a red-hat hat…

I actually had a use-case for a smart switch (I wanted it to automatically turn off after a certain amount of time). In the end, I went back to a dumb-switch after a frustrating diagnosis, maybe I’m biased/lucky to never have had a light-switch fail, but I didn’t even consider it as the potential fault until I electrically proved it…

Wondering about those “making citizens” instructions on the wall.

lol… if they had a job that was ONLY writing unit tests, I would take it!

Kind of the reverse… more lamenting the loss of QA and SRE roles in favor of mechanical (AI) code reviewers and non-technical persons rubber-stamping an increasingly deep pipeline that change requests must traverse.

I know, right? Thermostats have worked since (and were invented some time in) the 1600’s, but now… no, no no… we’ve got to loop in “the whole internet” as a dependency (not to mention one’s smartphone, and probably a payment system for an ongoing monthly subscription). Even with the incentive of being continuously paid, they can’t keep it working, because it has gotten too complex and greed has gummed up the gears.

For a minute, I thought this was satire.

With that typo, it sounds like a personal insult. :)

Open the pod bay doors…

I recall a carnival-type installation, were a whole house was built at an angle, and at the end of it they had a water spigot they turned on, and the water flowed “uphill” (to the human eye).

The trick is to have a second EFI partition. One for windows to destroy, and one for linux to enjoy.

Nah… when you re-gift it, just say you drew it to keep THEM from regifting it.

SMH…

Fine: “the alphabet starting with emm”

Well how about that… all this time I thought they were the same character. IIRC, child-me thought it was Wile E’s day job so that he could afford all those ACME products.
