No IP laws for them and the death penalty for us.

Just think little Billy ignore instructions could be little Bobby tables kid.

You can use a battery powered device without the battery plugged in. I’ve never built capacitor bank for a more modern mobile device but its probably possible with off the shelf boards. The last one I built was years ago for a dentist office. It was a mp3 player they used for the hold music. Pulled the bad battery and built a fairly small capacitor bank. The only complication was getting the right resister for the third terminal. In the case of the mp3 player it was a temperature sensor. Modern phones use this channel to communicate battery info which might complicate things a bit.

Yeah its a program that has a minimal OS. Its more about the program than the operating system.

They can go ahead and create all they want. I just wont use any of them unless they give me a reason.

I need something automated that I can run on each machine in the domain. I haven’t read any of the docs on this utility. Perhaps it has a way to do that.

I’ve had wireless working in linux since 2002. 802.11b was complex but quick. I was still running slackware back then.

I’m blocking addresses at the router daily. I could live with 11 if I could uninstall their garbage. I’ve tried any number of things to keep crapilot 365 off of my domain machines but I’m told I have to have the enterprise edition to do that.

Did the coffee mug go through the wall or up is ass?

No one thing triggered it but the tarifs contributed almost as much as the out of control stock market. All the controls put in place to prevent this have been changed. So stupid tarifs(Are there any other kind) and a unregulated market system has us primed for some serious times.

Not the second time but some are saying this one is similar to two others including smoot-hawley that triggered a huge economic downturn.

I guess that would depend on whether you think of the country or a race when you think china. I think of the country and not the race. bud.

No because Chinese isn’t a race its a nationality. If you used one of the races there like Han The predominate race there. than yes it would be racist. The Han are in fact often refereed to has the real Chinese. But china is made up of many races not just the one.

I will just have to sign it up to a domain then add a local user using the command prompt. Still a lot more trouble than installing it should be but I will not give in to this garbage push to make everyone have a microsoft account. I disable the store and all of it on every PC I install.

Negative IQ points?

I started to short them last month. Oh well. I knew all this anti free speech stuff is hurting them. They are only retaining the sycophants and the clueless niche people who never go out of their little bubble.

I was gonna charge the guy 500 dollars to rename thirty thousand images to match the directory names. Since the guy had switched cameras several times it would have involved more than one simple script but I wasn’t being paid for the script. I was being paid to do the job. Except my bash prompt scared the guy. The truth of it is he used me to leverage the company that specialized in data recovery into lowering their price down to a still absurd but much smaller amount.
Its not the first time I’ve seen it but when they do something like that to me they burn a bridge.

A related scam is charging absurd amount to convert and catalog microfiche to images or PDF’s. Granted a machine to do this quickly and efficiently is in the 10 to 20 grand range. The process is boring and repetitious and in no way worth the amount some companies want to charge.

I knew that one was bullshit or probably just simple ignorance. I use ssh and scripting to control my macs. Its easier than using ios depressing GUI tools.

Nothing morally wrong with working around a artificial limitation.
