  • How to move my Windows license to new laptop? (details inside) [fixed]

    跳过

  • I would dig deeper into why you can't install Win10. Everything I'm seeing says drivers, but that is (probably) easy enough to deal with.

    What process were you following, and what issue did you encounter?

  • What TV series introduced a plot point, only to abandon or never properly explore or address it??

    跳过

  • I also watched it for all the promises about what's not happening, that were also abandoned.

  • Here Are The 8 Senate Democrats Who Folded On The Shutdown

    跳过

  • Democrats aren't even capitalizing on it. Unless it's hidden in the ads I'm blocking, I'm not seeing anything to show people that it's Republicans behind it all. But I can point to a dozen locations that (re)print Trump's unhinged rants on the subject.

  • Does Terminal use actually make sense in the real world?

    跳过

  • It really depends on what you mean by "the real world".

    The most common use for Linux is on servers. For this scenario, not only does the terminal make sense, but it's often required as there is no GUI installed.

    For Linux on the desktop, the terminal is very much analogous to Windows PowerShell. More casual users can ignore it for most purposes, but may sometimes need it for troubleshooting.

    If you are trying to say that you "know" Linux, say for career development, you absolutely need to know the terminal. Nearly all professional roles will require it.

  • The Big Short Guy Just Bet $1 Billion That the AI Bubble Pops

    跳过

  • It's not that Google's algorithms got bad, but the entire Internet turned to shit and they can't compensate for it.

    For anything not time-sensitive, try adding "before:2023" to your search. I'm betting the quality of your results will skyrocket.

  • France: Online platform Shein reported to prosecutors over sale of 'childlike' sex dolls

    跳过

  • "Instead" was meant to be within the previous clause. It was originally a single sentence, but it was way too long so I broke it into two. I can see how it's misleading.

    Phrased another way, the claim is that regular porn reduces desire, and its users are happy to be alone.

  • France: Online platform Shein reported to prosecutors over sale of 'childlike' sex dolls

    跳过

  • This is similar to the arguments against "regular" porn - that it reduces the desire to pursue a real-life partner. Instead, allegedly, people are happy to skip that entirely in favor of enjoying porn, alone.

    I have no idea what the truth is (probably somewhere in the middle), but they are in direct conflict with each other.

  • Data stored in Canada can be subject to foreign courts, government paper warns

    跳过

  • For more information on the subject, Microsoft has been fighting this battle, largely unsuccessfully, for years.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Corp._v._United_States

    It's also why they had Azure Germany - an instance where they were not actually in control and data could remain sovereign. I believe it's now defunct, or at least restricted.

  • What questions do you like to ask people in pursuit of getting to know them better?

    跳过

  • The version I heard was Recreation rather than Relationships. Find out what they do for fun, whether it's gardening, concerts, or disc golf.

  • TIL: Only four countries in the world have no government mandated minimum paid vacation or paid public holidays: Palau, Micronesia, Nauru, and the United States of America.

    跳过

  • Undercutting your point, that also means that 23% - nearly a quarter - do not offer paid vacation nor holidays to their employees.

  • Wikipedia Says They Will Not Comply With UK Ofcom Orders

    跳过

  • Why can't we (states) ignore clock changes without the federal government? The federal government doesn't seem to care about standing laws.

    跳过

  • Permanent DST was enacted, federally, in December 1973. It was so unpopular that it was repealed less than a year later.

  • Which food gives you the best bowel movement?

    跳过

  • Tomatoes, in any form.

  • What is the most controversial TV finale?

    跳过

  • I watched it long after the fact, so I already knew about the controversy. I knew that it meant his death.

    His death was also a great way to end the series, and the story arc they were in.

    I even recognize the artistic merit of showing his death from his own POV.

    And yet, somehow it all came together in a way that was very unfulfilling. Maybe it's just that it's not the way we've ever seen, but it felt very off.

  • Great Depression: Part Deux

    跳过

  • Again, kid logic. Plus, many young parents don't know (or care) how to properly cook veggies anyway. It's a choice between canned (and usually salted) veggies, or similarly mushy, over-microwaved fresh/frozen veggies with little seasoning or flavor. It's not like the green beans are roasted with olive oil, garlic, and balsamic vinegar.

  • Great Depression: Part Deux

    跳过

  • You're overlooking an important detail - kids love that cheap, shitty food. It was also quick and easy to make, so their tired, overworked parents were easily persuaded to make it.

    Naturally there's a line where it becomes too much, but even rich kids love hot dogs and Mac & cheese.

  • We Just Crossed Our First Tipping Point… And It’s Not What You Think (it's solar power!) | PBS Terra

    跳过

  • Interesting video, but a bit of clickbait.

    The "tipping point" they're talking about is renewable energy, particularly solar. It's now dropped in price to the point where it's the cheapest option for energy. That means it's not just the best ecological choice, but the most economical as well. That increases adoption, which will drive prices down even further.

  • USDA announces SNAP benefits will not be issued in November

    跳过

  • $1,000 is that number, or at least it was a few years ago. The IRS requires quarterly estimated payments. Although from what I could tell (not a tax expert), it would've been fine for me to just pay the whole sum on Dec 31.

  • "No Kings" Is About More Than Trump

    跳过

  • You really, really shouldn't.

    The very best case is that we have 4 years of chaos within the biggest economic force in the world, with the biggest military by far, and things return to normal after. There is still lasting damage from those 4 years, and will be felt around the world. This is at least close to what happened on Trump's first term.

    Far more likely are the scenarios where the US loses significant influence on the world stage. This influence is likely to be absorbed by global assholes, most notably Putin. Your area will almost certainly be worse off because of it, unless you are one of those assholes.

    Then there are the doomsday scenarios. These are seeming more likely every day. Things like another Holocaust, civil war, and WW3, possibly even nuclear.

    There are no winners from this.
