Any tier of Google Support is 100% a black hole. I had an extremely unusual issue with a service in Google Cloud, tried to debug it and failed. I filed a ticket and waited because P1 was only for “production” issues, but our issue was for d

Most of the time when I'm doing laundry, it's after the bank has closed, so I walk to the drive-up ATM and get a $20 from the machine and exchange it at the front desk.

I actually don't know how much that would cost. My university does the same thing, and I'm thankful for it, because having to pay to do our laundry is hellishly inconvenient. I'm currently living at an extended stay hotel for

@kotk, I had a discussion a while back with the publisher of Gensler’s Logic textbooks about maintaining the existing LogiCola 2 codebase, and it unfortunately seems to have disappeared after his death. They were very interested in keeping

No, that’s a GitHub thing — it just downloads the Git repo at that release tag, which doesn’t include the source code in this case

The trick that worked for me was to directly call Dell's parts ordering phone number and ask for the specific part number for the battery; ditto for when the fan started whining. I was able to get a replacement for my old XPS 13 (4+ ye

Wow, this is probably the most brazen misuse of the DMCA process I've seen in a while. Actively advertising on YouTube how merchants can file fake DMCA claims with Google to improve their business is insane .

As far as I can tell... this isn't VS Code as a dependency, it's Visual Studio (and the associated MSVC C++ compiler) as a dependency. And this has been normal for years when installing native modules with no prebuilt releases in

That's almost certainly your laptop manufacturer's fault. Dell pushes BIOS updates via Windows Update on a regular basis, and I've never had the settings reset because of said update. (source: I administer 80 Dell desktops, 4
