So tired of keeping like 10 different ethernet dongles, 5 of one model and 5 of another, because half of the new laptops can’t even connect to the internet with the windows install ISO due to lack of drivers.
Welcome back to the Win95/98/SE/XP era. Where everything old is new again.
A clean install will need a USB installer anyhow. So build it with RUFUS and enjoy the lack of a manual bypass.
Except from a civil engineering perspective this makes no sense at all. Bricks are not laid in a single layer like that unless the wall is exceedingly short (serpentine wall as a fence) or unless there is a structural backing like an interior load-bearing non-brick wall.
And most all-brick walls in a structural capacity (meant to carry the weight of a structure) are dual or triple walled, depending on the height of the structure and the load bearing requirements.
RUFUS will build you a Windows installer that automatically bypasses the Microsoft Account requirement.
It also lets you bypass TPM 2.0 and lets you remove a lot of bloatware so it doesn’t even get installed in the first place.
The lower half of this meme is getting old to the point of being a bad joke. No-one does this except normies and people who buy pre-built systems that come with Windows already installed.
As an intellectual discipline, economics is closer to theology than physics
Absolutely. Ask any economist where clean air sits in any economic model, and they would call it an “externality”. Or a healthy forest. Or clean water. Or any of the other hundreds of millions of things that make life on this planet - or even a vibrant civilization - possible.
It’s also why capitalism is the most cancerous economic system possible, and leads only to ugly fascism-adjacent authoritarian feudalism and (eventual) systemic civilizational collapse and the early death of billions just so a few obscenely wealthy people can accumulate even more wealth before the end.
I am curious as to how out-of-touch your single downvoter is. Because you hit that nail right on the head.
Like, for my current place I’m still designing a CCTV system. But it will be using dumb PoE cameras, hardwired into a traditional NVR. But everything will be shielded, airgapped, and using dumb(ish) components that do not “phone home” to their manufacturer in any fashion.
I’m even looking into solid state and mechanical components for other home automation functionality. Like, nothing computerized to any degree, and therefore, incapable of being a threat or a data leak.
I process garlic into a paste with lots of olive oil and a touch of lemon juice to keep it from going fluorescent green too fast.
I do an entire 1Kg bag of garlic at a time. The garlic paste rarely lasts more than a month, and frequently fails to last the month. In fact, when I make Cæsar Salad, using an entire head of Romaine, I usually use a good 4 heaping soup spoons - at least 300ml if not more - in that single salad.
The fun bit is that my stomach has begun bioreacting garlic. I have to restrict my salads to days I don’t head out, least I drop munitions on the general public every minute or three. And not silent ones, either… nooooooo, we’re talking 10-20s long buzz bombs, like the world’s biggest whoopie cushion.
Just pirate it.
I mean, the Supreme Court just legalized copying. Millions of rare and one-of-a-kind books are being bodily destroyed just so they can be scanned in, which is pretty much the same thing.
If AI companies can steal content without repercussions, why not you?
Men are scared women will laugh in their face
Counterpoint: https://archive.ph/s0bTd
An innocen man lost his career, his wife and children, and his home. That’s a little more than “a laugh to the face”.
And she only got caught because she went to the police. The vast majority of accusations are designed to never come even remotely close to anything properly investigative. They’re meant to impart the maximum amount of social and economic destruction with a minimum of accountability - and preferably none at all.
Cherry on top:
As for the good Samaritan, he says the incident has deterred him from helping a young woman ever again.
And a large number of men are learning from the misfortunes of other men, rather than experiencing such pain and destruction personally. This is why “chivalry” is dead. And good riddance.

And she only got caught because she went to the police. Most accusations are only meant to destroy careers, so never come close to anything even remotely investigative. HR washes their hands of the man, (usually) blackballs him in the industry, and never tries to find out anything more beyond the woman’s accusation.

Men are seeing incidents like this, and learning by example before painful experience hammers it home.
If he really hates Canada so much, he needs to point himself south and start walking.
Eventually he’ll run into the American border and have the opportunity to immigrate.
Holy shit.
I managed to get into an M4 Max Mac Studio Pro with 128Gb back in December because I could see where the wind was blowing and needed a new Mac for the next 6-8 years (for reference, my last one was a fully plumped out 2018 Mac Mini).
Now you can’t get my config for any amount of money. Literally - the option for the M4 now tops out at 64Gb, and even moving to 96Gb forces you to the M3 Ultra. That is a drop of 50% in terms of the M4 Max provisioning ceiling, which is notable because you can’t add more later.
Plus, even with just 64Gb, the current M4 Max is now more expensive than what I paid for mine.
The M3 Ultra is even more severely nerfed… its original provisioning ceiling was 512Gb, now it’s only 96Gb, which is a drop of over 80%.
Like, holy shit.
Damn, I could use some of that hardware.
Sorry, are you talking about showers with broken doors, or showers without a door at all?
If the latter, how TF is that supposed to even work? Are we talking like a communal shower, where the door is too far away from the shower for water to splash out?
