My former boss is from Suriname. Had never heard of it before working for him, or since then.

Almost correct, except that the patterns it works with are on the byte level. Not all files contain text, after all.

You mean because people think the rich earned their wealth?

Like Jeff Bezos slaving day and night, as he does, to get all those parcels sent out.

Or Elon coming up with, like, cool ideas. And shit. After smoking another blunt and thinking about how great Adolf Hitler really was.

Thanks for the warning.

From memory, it felt like the electrostatic discharge that used to happen whenever I was touching my car. Annoying but harmless. The CRT part was speculation as I was reaching around blindly and don’t ultimately know which exposed contact shocked me.

Interestingly, the PC suffered no damage at all and didn’t blow its internal fuse, either.

Getting some strong the missile knows where it is vibes here. 😅

Live modding, huh? 😂 Takes me right back to my first PC, whose loudspeaker prevented me from covertly playing games when I was supposed to be sleeping. 😇

So I opened up the case and figured out that the PC speaker lead had a detachable connector. And the case was flexible enough that if I didn’t put all the the screws back in, I could just reach in and plug or unplug the speaker. 👌

Worked great, except for that one time I got shocked while blindly trying to finagle in the connector⚡🤯 (probably by the CRT assembly; this was one of those PCs that had everything incorporated in the case).

Thankfully, it must have been all volts and no amps so I was OK, even though I let out quite the yelp. 😁

What is it with those USB dongles? Mine also just died after a while. But yeah, the Xbox controller is great and since it uses regular Bluetooth, the dongle isn’t the only way to connect it.

The m to km conversion factor is exactly 1000. Same with g to kg and Pa to kPa, W to kW etc.

(maybe you were going for mi to km? Which is 1.6?)

Because fools appear to be natural leaders in this mad world of ours? Again, not saying you’re wrong.

Keeping with OP’s theme of referring to people as if they were dogs, I see.

Which is not to say that I disagree with your opinion as such. This world does have an issue with fragile masculinity, and that may well be the answer to OP’s question.

I’m not seeing a lot of mentions of nipples here. So for me, size is pretty much secondary. Nice, prominent nipples are sure to get my attention, though.

Doesn’t exist in German? What about “Frohes Schaffen”?

Wrong.

Sorry if I was wrong about the prevalence of such protections. My perception may be biased because the notebooks used by our company are all equipped with a switch or shutter of some sort. (HP brand, IIRC) Regarding your second point, however: surely a shutter physically obscuring the camera lens is just as effective as disconnecting the camera when it comes to protecting the user’s privacy?

They often come equipped with a privacy slider to cover the lens. Or you can just put a sticker on them.

How has nobody mentioned Girls Just Wanna Have Fun yet? That bubbly energy is a great pick-me-up whenever you need it most.

Ah yes, that probably showed my age right there. The Duke was the nickname of John Wayne, who died of cancer in 1979.

I learned a few years ago that the Duke is, in fact, not frozen waiting to be resuscitated. Of course I only learned this after arguing with my prof in film class about it. Classic urban legend. Now I’m worried about any other hoaxes I might have absorbed in the pre-Internet years. At least I know that the Glomar Explorer was not looking for manganese nodules.
