When I was a kid I manually made it through the cliffs of logic in KingsQuest VI by trial and error and taking notes for days, before I realized the answer was in the book. Almost did the same thing for translating hieroglyphics the Dagger of Amon Ra, but I remembered what happened before and went to check.

There are many lawyers that gather up victims for class action payouts and take most of the money for themselves.

They don't even bother trying to get more when they can, because they're just bottom feeding.

I just use my ide integrations for git. I absolutely love the way pycharm/jetbrains does it, and I'm starting to be ok with how vscode does. Remembering git commands besides the basics is just pointless. If I need to do something that the gui doesn't handle, I'll look it up and put it in a script.

my Bose quite comfort headphones will still allow any non-regular noise through, I believe that is by design for this very reason. Do other brands not do this?

I liked my LG phones until I broke a screen and the cost to get a replacement was absurd because noone has them in stock.

I am still kind of shocked that the non-leading manufacturers haven't standardized on hardware. Every company besides Apple, google, and Samsung, should get together and create the beige box computer of cell phones, you can get influencers modding them, gamers overclocking, etc. all the things that keep the desktop market alive.

Instead of working together, every one of these companies acts like a greedy monopoly when they don't have monopolistic powers, or even any soft form of lock-in. Even if all they did was make phones that had easy to replace standardized screens and batteries. I could see them quickly making in-roads in corporate IT, and for kids.

But none of them want to work together, so we get iphones, a few higher end iphone ripoffs, and a bunch of low end iphone ripoffs.

edit: I'm also mad that I lost my cat S61, and that the S62 looks like everything else.

edit 2: I also hate that I switched to an iphone, and how comfortably easy it was to get full locked-in in two years.

It's been like two decades since I used windows on a computer I own, but I always had a way harder time getting hardware to work with windows than I have with linux. I still shudder when I remember trying to track down drivers from different vendors, while avoiding the malware they shipped with it versus letting it just work.

edit:

I just remembered when I first used CUPS to configure a printer in 2003. It blew my mind with how easy it was, and I think that was the moment when I decided to start using linux as my primary desktop. Pre-Novell Suse at the time if im remembering correctly.

Using Azure has severely affected my mental health over the last year. Reading these comments has been therapeutic.

Standing in line for an event is fun, even if it's a silly promotional event. You get to laugh and chitchat with the other people in line, and it's something different to do that doesn't require much effort. But also, those lines usually balance out relative to the value of the item, if it takes too long people start realizing it's not worth it and leave.

I think it just goes by ASN. Looks like Comcast owns the Sprint ASN now.

They may be worried that their larger clients don't have things configured correctly, and they don't want to break things for them.

They may have older hardware that needs to be upgraded before they can use this feature.

They might even have their own way of filtering that they think is good enough.

Though, all of those really boil down to effort/cost.
