Around 2004 someone gave me Linux CDs (I think it was mandrake?) that I tried to install. And I got stuck at the password input part of the setup, I thought it didn’t work and went back to windows. I didn’t start using Linux until 13 years

Or just accept that support is a feature of whatever junk you’re selling and build it into the price. Instead of being actively hostile towards the naive idiots who gave you money for your junk of a product which you now refuse to even supp

> We’re always looking for ways to improve our customer service experience. What a joke. Anyway most of us already know to steer well clear of anything HP branded. It’s not the HP we remember from years past. Their junk is unreliable and

While it might sound like the ultimate hack, it’s not. I’ve been in that situation and died a little inside everyday. It’s not like being a rentier, because you still have to lose most of your day at the office and pretend to work, and be a

I’m running into this problem as well with juniors slinging code that takes me a very long time to understand and review. I’m iterating on an AGENTS.md file to share with them because they aren’t going to stop using AI and I’m a little tied

Every day the US looks a little more more 1933 Nazi Germany when all the xenophobic polices started. What even is a foreigner in a country where virtually everyone is descended from foreigners and immigrants?

I have two failed EM3ev battery packs. The BMS is toast after less than 50 cycles over 6 years. I’m looking for a replacement BMS (52V, 14S5P) but can’t figure out which would be more reliable. I would prefer to avoid buying a replacement f

For years we’ve been grocery shopping with e-bikes and a burley flatpack trailer. The trailer can hold 50kg/100lbs and we used to live up a steep hill. No problem at all. If it fit on the trailer we could haul it back. 52V e-bikes limi

It’s just the name for sales tax. Why is there a tax on sales, isn’t a sale a discount? Then is the sales tax negative because it’s the tax on the difference between the full price and the discounted price? You’d probably end up with a refu

This is absolutely insane. I cannot comprehend how the self-called land of the free can do this. Adults are one thing. But children? Children?? And be allowed to separate them for their parents from 10 years old??? This is vicious.

That’s 100% a US problem. Never had this issue in the EU, PayPal etc are obligated to offer the option to “just bill in transaction currency and let the card issuer handle conversion etc” without fees.

You’re the one claiming smoking cigarettes don’t give lung cancer and it’s all a big conspiracy to mess with you. So the onus in on you to show that smoking cigarettes doesn’t cause lung cancer despite the overwhelming amount t of scientifi
