The Beekeeper was the most Steven Segal movie I’ve ever seen. It’s kind of ironic that he wasn’t even in it.

The entire movie is just scene after scene making sure you know that old people are better than those dang kids with their phones. While every scene featuring the antagonists is either them whining about losing or talking about what a badass this beekeeper character is.

Damn, there’s like $900 worth of PS2 games in this image

Nah, they’ll just brand it as “Next Gen AI” or “True AI” or something. Kind of like how antivirus became “Endpoint Detection and Response”

Against this specifically?

• Don’t ever expose your firewall/router management access to the Internet.
• Install firmware updates asap.
• Don’t be a an attractive target for nation-state hackers.

Additionally, ensure that you are following best practices for your own data by enabling MFA wherever you can and dont re-use passwords for any service.

Sure, but if it were free it’s a “you get what you pay for” situation. People are a lot more forgiving when they aren’t personally losing money.

Because Steam’s DRM is entirely unobtrusive, it doesn’t require online-only gameplay and the customer experience is excellent.

When Epic tries to compete with Steam they don’t look to make a better user experience, instead they bribe developers for exclusivity deals to force people on their platform if they want to play a game on release.

Man, that fucking sucks. The work this dude is doing is worth respect.

You’d think, but its easier to just charge an extra 20% and then blame China while pocketing the extra 3%.

We wont start mining for rare earth metals until they simply refuse to sell to us.

All they need to do is let people keep their original bsky handle when they switch to domain verification. You’d still see some copycat accounts, but the barrier of entry is now higher as it would require someone to purchase a lookalike domain name

Ive played in a few of these. It’s an absolute blast once you get your settings dialed in and balanced to everyone else. If they’re not, then the player in the smallest game tends to have a lot of downtime.

The only downside is that the participants need to be familiar enough with their chosen game to do a randomizer which means roping in casual players is difficult.

Also, there are a massive number of unsupported games that you can play like this that are not part of the main website. https://multiworld.news/apworlds.html

Excel, Active Directory, and to a somewhat lesser degree MSSQL.

Good. This should be forced via regulations. Touchscreen controls are provably more dangerous than buttons due to the distraction.

This would be a double edged sword. Without regulation, the ISP will work in whichever way grants them the most money.

This means that they probably won’t go after copyright claims unless the rightsholders pay them first, but they will ramp up data collection efforts to sell to brokerage firms and will also engage in rate-limiting on high-bandwith use cases like streaming or torrenting unless you pay extra.

fun fact: If you ever see any of those quirky “solve this complex equation for the Wifi password” It’s always either the phone number of the place, or the first X digits of Pi.

They were pretty astonished when they heard that she had installed a GPU by herself (which most people here know is trivial). Which gave her enough confidence to fix her VCR by herself.

Anyone can learn any skill if they actually invest the time.

And regarding the older brother, you learn pretty quickly working help desk that users generally don’t care what the problem is or why it happened. They just want to get back to work and not have it happen again. After a while you get conditioned to just be friendly and solve the issue without explaining what you’re doing or why.

They did back when that was the windows logo.

Well of course it errors out, you’re using powershell rather than DOS

This is bad news for my productivity

I am not a material scientist, but I would wonder if molten metals would radiate too much heat to the environment causing an efficiency loss
