Ah, you mean like how the "free market" would police itself if they just got rid of those pesky regulations?

Alright. You rendered your entire point to "hurr, left wing bad" but with just many more words. For anyone else, take a look at who keeps cutting funding to education and funneling funds to profit oriented companies before you l

My concern is that there really isn't much left to 'turn on their heads' anymore. When Gmail came around, webmail was mostly hot garbage. Things just have matured since and well... I can now almost understand the culture issu

Early adopter curse. I remember buying the first DVD Recorder on the market and being pissed later on that I couldn't burn the (much better) DVD+R type discs in my drive. I never switched from my carrier to Project Fi. Never switched t

It's bad to leave ADB enabled in general. With a USB C port, there's a near absolute certainty that you can simply plug in a USB hub with HDMI built in to hook your phone up to a mouse and monitor to get around the cracked screen

MHL largely was for MicroUSB. Chances are what you need is a USB to DP or USB to HDMI adapter. Some work in one but not the other and vise versa. In the end however, Moto Es ARE designed to be the most cut down, least featured phone in the

Yep. Even did a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qkh4oagFfb8 Got out my old Moto Z Play which was retired. Restarted the phone so I couldn't use fingerprint to unlock. Plugged in a mouse, clicked pin. Unlocked. M

My Lenovo NAS, despite continuing to be sold well past when Linux Kernel v4.19 was released... is still on 2.6.32 It is no longer connected to an internet facing network.

Probably unnecessary at this point. Nearly every phone today is sold with a USB C port. "But this phone is older than..." My Moto Z Play was released in 2016. That phone is now 5 years old. It came with Nougat... and I can mirror

Freenode, the organization, wasn't in a tight spot. The head of Freenode staff at the time, Christel, sold assets to Andrew Lee without disclosing the terms to the rest of the Freenode staffers. Andrew Lee is one of the people who bene

While cats mostly do just meow (as much as you can say a dog mostly just barks)... my cats definitely do have variances to their meow depending on their needs or wants. When we stayed in an RV while the house was being built, I had to put m

Find me a smartphone that is made in the US with no Chinese parts, then. Or anything that goes into a laptop. Or desktop. Those are the primary components/products that China needs to destructively mine and process raw materials for. U

All you have to do is look at who was in power in 1984. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_1984_British_incumbent... (TLDR: Conservatives.)

So, we buy nothing? Even the domestic products basically say "Assembled in the USA " ( from parts made in China) But the sad reality is that the raw materials needed for a lot of the things we take for granted in everyday life...

Oh yes, fantastic idea. A separate server for each of the 30, 40ish channels I participate in. That would not be annoying in the least.

My favorite theory is he purged it all because he couldn't read the database in plaintext, which is why he would go through the trouble of switching ircds and services as well instead of just resetting everything he already has.

There's a more sinister theory going around. >>>> so, what this really means is, he couldn't figure out how to get the passwords out of the old services database, and thus forced a move to a new one, where he can store
