Looks like five mistakes to me. And two spelling errors.

I'm not sure if this is sarcastic, since I have neighbors just like this. (I hope it is sarcastic)

We don't have to send him to another country. Just put him on a raft in the middle of the ocean.

It's a graph of this: https://youtu.be/G7RgN9ijwE4

Cable Internet / DOCSIS splits bandwidth in a way that greatly prioritizes download over upload.

"Contact" for a similar reason. It's a mix of all motivations, along with people's general mistrust of each other.

For a non-pizza comment: I've been out of the hardware game for awhile, but the last time I had to set one of these up for RAID, the paper manual (which can probably be found digitally) was helpful. I also vaguely recall RAID 5 either having issues or being unavailable.

"Maximum Overdrive" for me.

Also, great call on Megaforce.

The gate crew often gets graded on how quickly they complete boarding, so don't be surprised when your plane's "full" overhead compartments are half empty. Stupid job metrics strike again.

Yeah, definitely don't just stick something in, use protection. If you want to use an unknown public charge, there are USB data blocker adapters you can buy.

You get slow charging (since the devices can't negotiate), but it's better than an infection.

Password rotation for your "emergency" system account (the one that shouldn't be root) still needs to be rotated every time someone with access leaves or changes job roles.

Either ambient instrumental music (lots of Brian Eno) or any music that I know all the words to (so that my brain doesn't have to actively process the lyrics).

The AI seemed to struggle with scientific names for #19.

The question ::: spoiler spoiler "Is it in the Actinopterygii class?" ::: was answered as no, though the correct answer should have been yes.

Without any spoilers, I felt that the spider-verse movie was enjoyable on it's own. Where the plot ended was, at least to me, in a good enough spot where I was both extremely satisfied with the movie I just watched and excited for the next film.

I do, several hours per day. Wireless headphones might are okay in short stints, but I really like my wired ones (Sony MDRs, which will probably outlast me)

The Forever War - Joe Haldeman A fantastic novel on the pointlessness of war, told through the lens of space opera / sci-fi

It's slowly coming back to me... There was a floppy disk that you needed to launch the raid config? Also the platform ran pretty well with debian 4.0 if you're debating what to run on it.

For anyone in RHEL / Fedora land (or using dnf somewhere else), try dnf needs-restarting to list executables that have mismatched files on disk vs memory. The -r flag will hint if a reboot is needed (due to things like kernel or glibc changes)

I guess I found my hill:

If you are worried about your sentence leaving ambiguity for your pronouns, then write a better sentence.

You can also enable long paths in w10/11 (30,000+ characters). Instructions are here:

Are kids still even taught the three Rs (reduce, reuse, recycle)? I was always taught that they were listed in order of importance, but that seems to conflict with modern capitalism.

This reminds me a little of "A Tale in the Desert".

Except from 1926 - 1947

A great album. I'd probably put IKSSE3 barely above it since it was my entry point to Coheed (you never forget your first).

But where could it find a host to mutate in is everyone was vaccinated?!

Thanks for the haunted thumbnail. 😂

Agreed. For an example of station id happening at slightly off times, listen to a live sports broadcast (like baseball). Due to the shorter time between pitches, station id will instead happen between batters, which won't line up with any given time.

Same thing with hockey, where radio station id will happen when the clock stops.

Can't you work around that with the extended length prefix of \\?\ (\\?\C:\whateverlongpathhere\)? Though admittedly, it is a pain in the ass to use.

I mostly liked it, but it did one thing I dislike in prequel movies: attempt to explain everything. It isn't quite as bad as the train chase from Indiana Jones and the last crusade which tries to explain all of Indy's quirks and wardrobe choices in a 10 minute scene... But that felt like the gist of the movie to me.

Bummer. The '\?' prefix will work regardless of registry setting, though it's a pain to remember each time.

Not everything normally needs to be saved. However, in this case it looks like the court ordered them to preserve data during discovery and they did not comply. From the article:

Pichai, and many other employees, also testified they did not change the auto-delete setting even after they were made aware of their legal obligation to preserve evidence.

So if the answer is yes and no (conditional versus a universal property of the thing), you always answer yes? I would consider that strange, but as long as it is applied consistently then I suppose it is fine.

There's also a few other spots not claimed by any country, like Bir Tawil between Egypt and Sudan.

It is possible that you have a bad infosec team; however, it is more likely that they need to meet outdated compliance goals (SOC 2 comes to mind here).

Infosec is unfortunately a tricky balancing act of compliance, security, and usability.

It is interesting, but with weird quirks.

It is definitely capable of responding with 🤷‍♂️, but neglects to do so in some expected areas.

"does it use a microprocessor?" 👍 "was it invented before 1970?" 👍

These are somewhat contradictory. No microwave in 1946-1971 could have had a microprocessor. If the answer is "sometimes yes, sometimes no" then 🤷‍♂️ is probably best.
