Leaning hard towards “been claiming elections have been rigged for 20 years”. He was asked how he got his numbers on reddit and said “yeah it doesn’t mean much without the actual counts” and handwaved the question away.

Really wish headlines would start being “One guy claims” instead of “Experts claim”. But that wouldn’t get as much engagement.

(if that service goes down, everyone in my house gets mad at me)

I bought a PiZero and set it up as a redundant pihole for this reason. It’s slower because it’s wireless, but not super noticeable since it’s ‘just’ DNS. I have the router pointed at the main and backup all the time and if I need to do something (or break the main one messing with dockers) there’s still the backup until I get the main up.

I messed around with some High Availability configs where they both had the ‘same’ ip but could never get it working smoothly. I just use the teleporter functionality within pihole any time I update anything to keep them in sync, which is rare.

Only real reason IMO is dust can collect on the seam and it’s annoying to clean without taking the peel off anyway.

IDK why people get weird about it.

I figure not fixing that is 10% not knowing they could, 20% doing so would make it easier to rip stuff, 70% doing nothing costs them nothing since you’re supposed to be using the Blu-ray interface anyway.

What does Biden have to do with a judgement by a different branch of government?

They make plenty of ‘dumbphones’. They sell them at Walmart/Best Buy/Amazon so they’re not exactly hard to find. If you don’t want a smartphone why are you spending 10x the price of the thing you want?

Are you really having trouble with call quality? Unless I’m so far out in the sticks I don’t have signal at all it hasn’t been a noticeable consideration in years personally.

No because it’s assumed you’ll use the golfcart. Spinning in chairs counts if you do it long enough to work up a sweat.

That’s not just a feeling, that’s something more.

Next time you should unplug it from the wall first to be less stressful. :)

The video ones are what I was thinking of. Fair enough that I forgot to count ground.

If you wanted them just for charging it would be fine. Barrel jacks are still pretty ubiquitous.

If you want them to also be data they get less great. They make 3.5mm/etc jacks with 3 “pins” and I assume more. But every time you’re inserting/removing the cable it’s rubbing past the insulators separating the contacts. Their failure per plug/unplug is higher than something like USB-C where the 24 contacts are being pushed together instead of brushing past each other. It would suck if you put in your USB-barrel and one of the contacts broke/bent.

Which is it’s own brand of crazy because Environmentalism/Conservationism in the US grew out of the conservative right, from Teddy Roosevelt to Richard Nixon.

Then again that was before “the preachers [got] ahold of the republican party”

This is basically the fluoride ‘debate’.

(Yes, fluoridating the water supply is good.)

LinusTechTips has a cooling system that uses a water loop under his backyard pool to water cool an entire home server rack.

Granted uptime seems… less than ideal. They keep not hiring a plumber to do/inspect it and effectively re-jury-rigging it for videos. But solid (liquid) idea.

“On two occasions I have been asked, ‘Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?’ I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.” --Charles Babbage ~1860s

People thinking that machines can do magic goes back to at least the very beginning of mechanical computers.

It doesn’t help that “AI” has become the new “Algorithm” as far as marketers are concerned.

It should be. But I would be extremely surprised if everything in the terms of service isn’t worded something like “you’re buying a license to view this content that can be revoked whenever”.

Agreed that it’s probably the school selling themselves, but could be a bunch of overlap? Math 101 counting for each degree, etc.

Isn’t the point for the consumer to measure their cost? Not the overall efficiency of the production and distribution for each source of fuel?

Like I buy X gallons per month of gas because my car gets 20 mpg and I dive Y miles. If this electric car uses Z amount of electricity and I still drive Y miles, I’ll save ß dollars.
