Yeah I sold my 1660 GTX for £40 more than I paid for it after 2 years. Was shocked.

Zen and AA have no blocking in place for any sites. Don’t go with major ISPs in the UK. They are a shit show.

Yes. Everyone leaves today’s problems until tomorrow. I did exactly that for years. Until I didn’t. Which happened because I saw what might happen to me if I didn’t stop it.

Some foods give you a cheap high when you’re stressed, rushed or depressed. People get addicted to that. That’s about it. Need to treat the causes not the symptom. Magic pill to kill 25% of your weight leaves the causes behind. Poverty and

I dunno. Sounds like a fun environment to work in and accidentally leave an S3 bucket open :)

I read the entire article and missed that entirely. More coffee! Thanks for quoting it.

I assume this doesn't affect the UK any more?

Yeah my multimeter has it on it. And I’m not even in the US.

It’s cheap and reliable.

Yes lots of bits of industrial and electronic equipment still ships with it. For example: https://resources.aimtti.com/datasheets/AIM-1908_multimeter_... Most of the stuff that runs over USB in that sector is just a se

Problem is it’s turtles all the way down. A lot of turtles. Each turtle is hungry.

We’ve got a fairly decent network here at our local schools (UK) giving older recycled hardware out to people and organising WiFi sharing with neighbours and stuff. The schools and education authority are providing people with laptops but t

A point to note on Excel's empowerment I have discovered. The main reason for its ubiquity is because it's mostly already there and doesn't require the odious purchase order process to be navigated and then an odious IT on

This. The only guaranteed cash is cash in hand. A lot of companies offer it in lieu of salary which is an insane proposition to take. Last place I wasn’t confident of their market position so I negotiated a better salary instead of stock. O

You’ve got sensors in your head and data when it comes out of you. I do a hell of a lot of hiking and that’s all you need to monitor hydration.

Use the Apple Watch. It reminds you to stand up every hour. Go pee then. If it’s not clear then drink a glass of water. Works for me.

Yes. The way we develop software quite frankly scares the shit out of me on a daily basis.

Now the 2077 source is public, can we crowdsource the bug fixes?

by uncledave 6y ago
Actually that’s because I do a lot of high impact activities with some risk. The risks don’t always work out.

Not sure about that. I’m in my late 40s and have smashed the crap out of myself quite badly in the last 20 years. I’m sure it’ll catch up with me eventually but at the moment I am peak fitness. What is important is being healthy enough to h

I can understand why that is the case. But I have also buried two members of my family. So quite frankly they can fuck off. There’s a compromise somewhere in the middle in the grey area which is actually the situation that we’re in despite

I still don’t understand what people have to gain from this line of thought and applying your skills to promoting it. Surely it’s an evolutionary and career dead end?

That’s almost as bad as the time Microsoft ran Defender sandbox as LocalSystem. CVE-2017-0290. That one was a massive dose of irony in one CVE. You’d think people would have learned about least privilege by now?

It felt like it. It took me two weeks to formulate a decent “fuck you” but I came to the conclusion that what remains unsaid is sometimes more effective than what is said.

I worked for one of them. Completely agree. One day I decided I’d had enough though and just went home, changed my phone SIM for a PAYG one and immediately moved half way down the country. I was his last remaining employee.

My personal pilgrimage seems to always end up designing designing a stack virtual machine and writing a compiler for it for a toy programming language. I tend to pick this up every time I learn a new language to get a feel for it. I usually

Jony is gone. We can expect stuff to actually work now rather than just get thinner and shitter.

Hey some of us Apple fanboys are cheap asses :)

Probably my inflamed tone. I’m just fed up of being told constantly that something works really well when it doesn’t. I’m fed up of people telling me when it doesn’t that I’m not believing hard enough or have some obscure combination which

Oh ffs I’m quite frankly fed up of gargling alpha grade crap from people forcing it down my throats. I don’t have to drink it and praise it if it doesn’t work. When exactly on Linux my NVidia 1660 GTX will do fractional scaling at 150% so a
