as a technician myself, I hate this. I truly don't understand why any tech would ever do any snooping. I fix dozens of devices a day, I need the password so I can test the new part and make sure everything is working as it should be after the repair. I'm far to busy and apathetic to give a shit what people have on their devices.

side note, for those of y'all with Samsung phones, there's a maintenance mode that will allow the tech to test everything after the repair but not access any data on your device.

my choice would prob be a 15k. at that point I'll just do a half marathon, thanks.

I wish we didn't feel the need to celebrate this. loving your child and fighting for them seems like the bare minimum. I get the bar is in the basement, but it feels similar to the pick me men who think they should be put on a pedestal for simply not sexually harassing women.

a few of my faves are:

titanic syncing

silence of the lans

fbi surveillance prius

damn I grew up like 20 mins away from this school. sadly between Philly and Pittsburgh it's just a red, anti-LGBTQ wasteland.

yeah and the said part is most people without the tech background would never notice the index.php in the URL, or care.

absolutely. I work at a phone/computer repair shop.

I have a policy called the "front desk fix policy". pretty much, if I can fix it at the front desk in under a few minutes, I'm not charging you for it. common culprits are simple software fixes and charging port cleanings.

I give free screen protectors with every repair instead of charging customers for it. the screen is the expensive part not the screen protector.

I also tend to give a 10$ discount if people are just cool to talk with. if we genuinely enjoy talking to each other, they've made my day better, so I might as well do the same for them.

I just like filling up hard drives and sitting on top of them like a dragon hoarding ones and zeros

"fix for real this time"

I haven't been into the pirating scene for a few years, last time I was active pirate bay was the best. why not use it anymore?

doom guy was onto something

really? I never had an issue with just sticking it behind a reverse proxy, doing some port forwarding, and setting an apex domain record, that was it. curious what wasn't working for you?

me right now trying to create a regression to fit tire compound, size, pressure, and rim diameter to predict slip angles, temps, angular forces, and loads in Matlab. (I have no experience with multivariate regressions, Matlab, or physics)

connotation matters. anti-LGBTQ sounds like a political stance, homophobic makes it clear there's hatred and a willingness to deprive people of human rights there.

i was just in the hospital for 36 hours, and my bill was 117,000$. shits absolutely crazy

programming! I had heard that programming is better on Linux so I gave it a go and quickly realized it was better for everything else as well

this never made sense to me till I took a probability class then it clicked lol

I'm in the same boat. I'm a comp sci student but the amount of tech illiterate comp sci students I meet every day is astounding and concerning

20/f

both of y'all should try here: https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/wiki/Installation-and-Setup

pixel 7 pro launched at 900$. s23 ultra launched at 1,200$. not an insane difference there for the amoled screen, better cameras, and s-pen. let people buy what they want 😭😭

I'm in IT, the difference in how I'm treated before and after I transitioned is crazy. I haven't legally changed my name yet so I just pretend to be a guy for all my jobs solely to avoid that.

I could never own a dell. as far as I'm concerned, they make crazy overpriced laptops that are pretty much guaranteed to need 200$ of maintenance down the road when the hinges inevitably fail.

every single time I have issues with my self hosted servers. it's always the DNS lol

trans and gay :)

I haven't used Plex in a while, but I'm confused how Plex handles WAN connections without using any port forwarding? how is that possible?

hm. yeah I def read that wrong. more on point I can get any part I need for my own repairs very cheap through our wholesalers so that's a good perk I guess

real actually. definitely one of the most memorable progress bars. well, that and the bios update progress bar

damn I didn't realize they were arm devices, I assumed all surfaces were x86. thanks for the info!

yeah same

the last chicane in the lap is the great equalizer. super fast lap only for the last turn to be super tight and slow, and really easy to spin out on. gotta be one of my favorite chicanes

thanks for the explanation. I'll stick with jellyfin for now, I've heard rough things about privacy with Plex and that explains why.

personally, I wouldn't want my files going through plexs servers, especially with how shit I've heard they are with their privacy policy. that's a really interesting concept tho, and makes a lot of sense. I doubt jellyfin will ever do that simply because they don't have the resources to host that as you said.

thanks for the explanation tho! greatly appreciated

democrats think he's been a great president cause it funds the war machine. leftists agree he's been a shit president because he went back on pretty much all his promises, fucked over striking workers, fucked over the bbb, and is ofc funding a genocide.

Trump sucks but fuck genocide Joe man

there is a difference between racism and prejudice. that comment is prejudiced but not racist. if white was replaced with black then it would be racist, bc there is an inherently power structure in play meant to create more economic and social opportunities for white people.

I really wish more people understood this 😭
