It's 120V and 240V

Finally! I had to uninstall FF because it was taking ~5% per hour, so in a 8h night, 40% of the battery was eaten by FF, even if I killed it there was a process somewhere

Using Linux for 30 years, I'm with MX and Xfce for years.

Lol I thought it did not exist anymore, like in Canada (where I am)

It's incredible that I was on reddit for 13 years or something, daily, maybe I spent 20'000 hours there. Then I dropped after the API fiasco (I'm a SyncPro user) and never went back, I have no clue what's going on since ~July and I don't care and I don't miss it :)

And strangely enough those kind of guy live in a million $$$ mansion or condo and spend $50'000/month on frivolities, even in bankruptcy

Spawn as a daemon, and be sure to kill the child before

I guess it was Reagan? again?

I agree, it was a good movie, hopefully it does not get destroyed with sequels

It's not that they don't work, it's that their employers (boomers own the companies) don't want to pay them

It was the same for I guess Google, 15 years ago I'd have apply for a job there, now? no. Right now I'd not apply to everything Musk, Meta, Google, MS, IBM, HP, etc. It does not work. small company, max 100 people, are better.

I'm wondering how many months/years it will take HP to destroy the Juniper brand...

It happens, I once ask a question about a spinning wheel and the rpm required to have 1G. chatGPT started a couple of calculus and in the end answered that to have 1G, the diameter should be 7 times the radius. I answered back "this does not make sense, a diameter is by definition 2 times the radius", it apologized and redid the right calculus :)

Never, never, never, will I spend 1h the morning and 1h the evening in traffic jam to do 15 miles, never again.

EDIT: in winter snow storm it was 2-3h !!!

True, OLED have the always on screen, but a lot of phones (mainly low/middle range) don't have OLED and have no LED notification :-/ I remember I found this very useful on my old zenfone/nokia (my latest cell is OLED)

It depends on the model (and the price), I'm in Québec where we have -30°C (-22F) about every winter, my heatpump is mid-range, and works fine until -20C (-4F) so 95% of the time. It is set to 23C (73F) and it's between 21-23 everywhere in the house. The electric baseboard are set to 21C (70F) as backup.

So yeah, heat pumps can works great in winter, no problem.

Also as written in the article, with defrosting and variable speed compressors, it is very efficient. Mine is Energy Star compliant, and act as air conditionner in summer.

Something happened in QC a few weeks ago like this. A IIRC 60yo person who donated blood all his life, went to a donor center, there was a lot of empty seats so he wanted to do like he has done for 40 years, take a seat and give blood, but no, nurses told him he has to register and make an appointment on the application. So he left.

AMERICAN SYSTEM : Time to hire her in the next county, with a promotion ?

Alien, Star Wars, too

tell HR ?

don't forget there is !startrek@startrek.website which is a big community

At first there was so network instability and compatibility problem that I used PWA and Jerboa and Connect and switched between them multiple times a day.

Now I'm using Jerboa almost exclusively as everything seems more stable.

I'm waiting for Sync 😊

I cannot connect with Jerboa, it always says user or password incorrect 🙁

Edit: worked after a few minutes

I though genZ only bought iPhone because of the green bubble or something?

This will be built-in Google Play for all Android 6+, no need for external app

Yes, but mostly on men, still GM however and should be outlawed

I am an embedded developer, I take the HW from office to bring at home, in the basement I have my "home office" with benches, soldering station, oscilloscope, etc so I can fully develop here. Working on a kitchen corner table would not be doable, true

An EV would be perfect for me, I live in QC where power is super cheap, I do 6000 miles per year, most round trip are way less than 100 miles, I'd have no problem charging it cheaply and never had a problem with range.

My only problem is the price, in Canada I'd pay what? $60k+ ? no way.

I never knew someone who used FB Messenger for SMS

If I understand how it works in the USA, the officer will just move to the next county to continue his carrer, right?

Well, in Russia, Putin is having his opponents killed/thrown in jail. It's not a democracy, like in NK where Kim have 99.9% of the vote.

I'm in QC and it's quite incredible this winter, instead of 0F we have 48F, we had 2 snowstorm in a few days early January, nothing since. I've never saw a winter like this, people were wearing shorts this week-end

I have used a mixed of Netscape/Firebird/Firefox mostly for personal uses, along with at the time IE then Chrome mostly for professional stuff and banking (at the time) and developing. But for ~3 years now it's FF only, even on my phone. Google started their AMP stuff and all, and this DRM is the shit hitting the fan.

Incredible, I started with a ZX81 (it was using a Z80) in 1981, then moved to a CPC6128 in 1984, still using a Z80, I learnt assembler on it, cracking games, etc, good memories :)

X here too, 53yo, cannot contribute to retirement. At 67 I will have to sell my house because I'll not be able to afford taxes, insurances, power, repair, etc

Not a lot, and this is why to speedup thing on some architecture, when working with (unsigned)integer you multiply by 355 then divide by 113 (it's like 3.14159292035)

I remember, I was 23yo and in a BSc Computer Science. At the time our teachers were more BSD, SVR4, Minix, and of course HP-UX, SunOS, AIX, IRIX, etc. They didn't like Linux, but us, students, would download kernel and gnu utilities on like 8 floppies, to install on 486, and then the 10 floppies for X11, what a nightmare it was, like Arch today :)

My first kernel install was v0.99. What a time :) I used Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, and now MX (still based on Debian) for a long time.

52 here, and I'm like you...

Someone must have help him wrote it, because he cannot write that good, there's always a lot of capitals and BAD and !!!!!!! in his pseudo-gibberish

to reduce usage of the mouse?

a keyboard?
