I basically wear zero visible labels on my clothes because why would I wear advertising? I own a t-shirt with 747 on it and a picture. It's one of the great pieces of human engineering. Many of us, even those who have never had anythin

This has always been my struggle with all of this "infinity" maths. Infinity/Infinity is anything you like and many things you don't and these things always seem to boil down to dividing by infinity. Visit each room in t

And yet there are many, many people serving a decade or more in prison for possession of less. There is no case to avoid drug law reform, disagree on the nature of what is required but /something/ needs doing. This bullshit where

I replaced mine with a second-hand lenovo t480s and it's the best laptop I have ever owned, by a huge margin. I'm astounded how good it is. Paid A$500 (~$USD 350) for it. Installed linux, everything I care about just worked. (I do

This is the way of Dell. I bought one of their laptops that has fried itself because you can't close dell laptops and put them in your bag as though it was a laptop, you have to shut them down and wait to close the lid. FFS. Of course

In my experience as a school student there is very little you can do about it beyond making yourself a small target which comes at a fairly high cost. You can make it worse once it happens while being on the receiving end of a wildly hypocr

Does anyone think the y2k con will work a second time? Does anyone think it was actually not a con given there was essentially zero difference in outcome between companies and indeed whole countries who spent heavily to deal with it and tho

Yes - it is one way to do it and it will work and be reasonably efficient. Everyone[1] who knows x86-64 asm today learned 32 bit first. You still have 32 bit instructions, and 16 bit, and 8 bit. The instructions will translate. You get more

applying a patch to make something work - that seems super normal to me but I guess I'm a geek. Applying patch to a thing to use a service that advertises it supports free accounts? Why wouldn't it support a different client? Tha

Trying to use facts, logic, and this "science" stuff against me is futile as I have a perfectly good conspiracy theory! The silver suit couldn't insulate and keep the heat out?

So here is one of my current fav. conspiracy theories AND it involves Elon. Remember the first payload of his "Falcon Heavy" rocket - some tesla or other? Had a tailor's dummy in a space suit strapped in the front seat. That

Not sure I understand the question. If you have airplay speakers something has to send music to them? Airplay 1 does multiroom just fine and always has. Owntone on your local network gives a nice persisten connection to whichever speakers y

I used something different. Basic details for your entertainment/edification/comedy source material follow mostly so you can shortcut a comparison if you're building something at your place. 1) Pi-zero running shairport-sync

"Kid gloves" seems like a reasonable inference to me. There are sufficiently prominent cases where scaling doesn't matter a damn, eg the decision to suspend or not the president. Taibbi claimed there was a lot of back-channel

"no action" whitelist meaning in this case that nobody can reverse (possibly found to be incorrect) previous actions without taking additional steps? ie "Even if this is wrong don't touch it"

I think maybe you're confusing the expression of an ideal with making a particular implentation toward it mandatory?
