  • Yeah realistically you're talking about a team of 10 to 30 people whose entire job is to give the final thumbs up or thumbs down to an ad.

    You're talking one to three million dollars a year, maybe throw an extra million on for the VP.

    Chump change, they just don't want to pay it cuz nobody's forcing them to

  • What's your fave movie of all time that you love to recommend to people?

    Jump

  • There is a small chance that it is on Disney Plus, but I don't have a Disney Plus subscription anymore so I can't verify, I just know that they purchased studio Ghibli.

  • I've seen it once, and I seem to be practically psychologically unable to cry, so rather than crying I walked around feeling like I was carrying a hundred pound millstone around my neck for about 4 days.

    It's a beautiful movie with every last single one of the studio Ghibli traits that you have come to know and love.

    But it's not a cartoon for little kids. I highly recommend that you watch it at least once if you haven't, just don't let your kids watch it until they are adults.

  • Tucker and Dale vs Evil.

    It's such a gem of a movie, hits all the right notes

  • I don't care if you're on or off the Taylor Swift hate train, but this is freaking funny.

  • I mean wasn't season 1 episode 1 where we all watched a guy fuck a pig? Like if that wasn't enough to get you to stop then you probably should go ahead and watch the rest of the series.

  • I think it was Confucius that said that society is best when the laws are simple and people understand the laws.

    I mean what do we need with 5,000-year-old Chinese mysticism when we've got Elon musk shoving metal pellets into your medulla oblongata that can play ads at you in your dreams?

  • How does one even live like this?

    Jump

  • A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

  • Everything turns to shit whenever a metric becomes a goal, and multiply that by Infinity whenever that goal involves making money.

    Ads are the worst thing about the internet. There's not an option to escape them under any circumstances and when you use things like adblock people crawl out of the woodwork to tell you how you're stealing money from people.

    I'm sorry, I'm paying for the service of accessing the internet. How I do so should be my decision and not somebody else's under any circumstances, so long as I am not breaking the law.

  • I work in it and one of our employees brought a laptop to us that had been completely and thoroughly dismantled with a screwdriver.

    She told us that she wanted to remove the hard drive but she couldn't find it.

    It had a flash hard drive that had been detached from the board was sitting next to the Wi-Fi card.

    Me and the other it guy just kind of like looked at each other for a minute and then got her a new laptop.

    To be fair she was due for an upgrade anyway, but I've never had anyone dismantle their soon to be recycled devices.

  • Tell me

    Jump

  • My mom was a nurse who worked in geriatrics and so one day she came home from work and cooked us a big plate of spaghetti and started telling us about how elderly people with dementia would have no control over their body and would snot on their hands and then rub it on the the handrails in the hallway.

    She should talk about how she kept on over and over again touching bare-handed massive piles of gooey green and brown snot while we're all sitting around the dinner table trying to eat spaghetti.

  • gotta get a new printer

    Jump

  • I bought a Samsung mono laser and printed approximately 400 pages on it before the fusor broke and would cost more than the entire printer did to replace.

    I was past the 6-month warranty as well so I chucked it and bought a $10 Brother MFC-7860dw monoprinter from the thrift store that printed in the store.

    It turned out that it would jam like the grateful Dead if it printed more than one page though.

    Apparently that is a common issue with them and inside of the printer there is a small cork pad that gets twisted down and hits every time it picks up a new sheet of paper and the cork had gotten sticky somehow.

    The fix for this incredibly complicated and delicate procedure is to open one side of the printer and take a piece of Scotch tape and cover over that tiny cork pad.

    I did that 7 years ago and it still prints perfectly today.

  • Counterpoint, nuh uh.

    There are lessons to learn from the past. I'll give you that. Those who don't learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. I'll give you that.

    80% of humanity is too stupid to learn from the past.

    Letting them live in fantasy worlds of Make Believe causes no deleterious effects to you or to the Future.

    These people who consume this material will choose to voluntarily remain stupid if given the opportunity to make that decision.

    After all, to those to whom the truth would be misery, ignorance is bliss and it is folly to be wise.

  • VLC Media Player Plans to Add Online Media Streaming

  • Noob having fun with Self-Hosting story

    Jump

  • I'm in a similar boat, maybe a few steps further down the line than you but not that far.

    Something that is really fun is getting a dynamic DNS set up with duckdns, and then put a certificate on it from certbot and then give all of your containers and self-hosted servers am SSL certificate and name using nginx reverse proxy.

    If you do that and your Wi-Fi router has a VPN option then you can easily get rid of all of the certificate errors on your locally hosted stuff and navigate directly to them with a name rather than typing in IP addresses.

    For me this was daunting but once I actually got it up and running it all made sense.

  • Opinion: It's Time To Ditch 2.4GHz WI-FI

    Jump

  • I bet that could be disabled if you somehow removed any path to ground from that chicken wire.

    My guess is there are a few conductive points that are attached to materials that can dissipate electrical energy, which would turn the chicken wire into a faraday cage.

    Without those conductive points, it would not function as a faraday cage or at least not well enough to significantly attenuate Wi-Fi.
