The harder MS tries to force Win11 on me the clearer it becomes how bad it is.

I will move to another office suit,install, and learn a completely new OS like Linux after 40 years of Windows before I ever install their unnecessary and untrustworthy data-miner.

Win10 was bad but most of it could be removed/worked around. This time it’s clearly war against typical users so F it I’m out.

I see what you’re saying, but IMO the newsworthy information in the article is that there are electronic plates available to begin with. It just seems like such a bad idea from every angle you look at it. The hacking of them is simply stating the inevitable but it is just one issue in a large pile of BS even an honest purchaser would have to deal with using these things.

Fighting for lies, injustice… the american way

You aren’t a CEO though.

Sentenced to 5 years, out in one for excellent behaviour. I agree.

Needs to be kept above 70degC so heating could be costly. Other than that it’s safer than refridgeration as that only slows growth whereas keeping it hot prevents any growth at all.

🤬

OOC if I had a pet pig. Loved it. Gave it a full and happy life safe and warm in my house until one day it died of old age. Would it be okay to give the body to my destitute neighbours so they can feed their dogs?

Edit 21hrs later: Your silence speaks volumes

I’m sorry, but you’re wrong. Relying on edge cases in either generation is pointless. Millenials had zero tech support to help them for everything you need to do on computers.

How to load a program: Nowadays - touch the icon on the screen. Millenials - Load"$“,8 LIST LOAD"LEISURESUIT*”,8,1 (wait 10 min.) RUN

How to install a game: Nowadays - Click BUY on game store and choose INSTALL. Millenials - Learn MSDOS basics, Type a series of 5 commands without typos

How to configure game settings: Nowadays - Play with volume sliders, Graphics preferences, and game difficulty. Millenials - Edit config.sys or autoexec.bat to ensure device drivers are loaded, load game, assign proper IRQ, DMA variables to get your SOUNDBLASTER card to play sound, select game difficulty

How to setup a printer: Nowadays - go to manufacturers website and download drivers, run setup.exe, plug in printer to USB port. Millenials - Check Device manager in Windows to determine COM port and other relevant variables. Set values in word processing software. Employ Minor in mechanical engineering to align or correct bad ink ribbon with perforated track runners. Repeat fixes every 5 pages ad nauseum.

All that BS and more required hours of research to learn how to do in an era where guidance was buried in some sketchy newsgroup where ‘Rick Rolling’ was seeing if you’d notice “Deltree c:” in the instructions, and not just a simple 20 second video on TikTok.

I work with children using Ipads and that one kid who doesn’t get lost if the relevant icon is missing in the UI is the one I know is going to be trouble. They say average IQ increases by 3 every generation and this is the first one I don’t think that trend will hold for because they aren’t required to think at all ever.

It’s too good. I’m kind of in the same boat. I have to go looking to see whats out there to know now. I’m basically reliant on paying attention to social media discussions/increased interest or relevance to suspect something new is coming out.

That information is mentioned in the video

Could have said that in your first reply instead of arguing. But you know… I’m the one that needs better self-awareness.

Also, despite being ‘safe’ there are still “regulatory dosage limits” that apply (and this device seemingly does comply with).

A 6W laser could easily damage the retina.

I’m not interested in rhetorical arguments guessing ‘it should be fine’. I want a radiation output comparison between this lamp and other common avenues of UV exposure (sunlight, welding, tanning beds, etc…), or the creators/relevant 3rd party safety board flat out declare the possibility of eye damage was considered/tested and ruled out.

As it stands now, the article conspicuously avoids mentioning eyes to talk about how safe the skin is and that makes me wary.

Most of the power in welding doesn’t go into UV generation, but this lamp is all about the radiation. I’d like to see a comparison of their respective UV outputs to be sure.

wavelength is that it is long enough to deactivate viral and bacterial air contaminants, but short enough not to pass through the outer layer of dead skin or the tear-layer of humans.

What about the eyes? As a welder the first thing I think of is getting Welder’s Flash.

also, it is the most distant point on the surface of the Earth

I’m having a difficult time reconciling this with the fact the Earth is an oblate spheroid. I feel like there is a small semicircle on the ‘far’ side where the distance is marginally farther due to the wider vs tall dimensions.

I woke up with horrible neck pain because apparently I did that thing I’ve been doing every day for my entire life, sleeping, wrong.
