It really depends on what device you are connecting. My range/oven has the option that I never set up because I don’t want to preheat it when I am not home.

But I did get a smart wall outlet that I plugged my coffee maker into so I can turn it on from my bed in the morning.

They did this a lot in the 90’s too. Production companies love to ground an IP into the dust.

And then you get the SUPER GRAPE that is dimetapp

I remember once someone made DOOM but every time you killed an enemy it would kill -9 a random process.

I wish this article had pictures of the street and examples of what was wrong.

Wouldn’t this form of website blocking only work if the user uses their dns?

Would self hosting an unbound server bypass all of this?

I mean it’s what I think of when I think of someone drinking that stuff. It also makes sense that those are the people they market to.

As cool as it was to see all the galaxy class ships fighting in the dominion war, how cool would it have been to just see ten star drives going in formation?

Yup meta joke.

My house growing up had a bunch of those (female) ports around and we had the adapters to convert them to RJ11.

I am very willing to debate this leading up to and during the primaries, but once those are done I am going to vote against the GOP no matter who is on the ballot.

This is a problem with more than just Microsoft. Any software (game, application, library, whatever) that has had many years of updates some of which are breaking, will have this problem with docs.

Oh you are using version 5.5.24 of xyzlib? All these docs are a mixture of stuff when 4.2.57 was out and stuff someone tried to update when 7.5.14 released.

Reminds me of the Hollywood trope of a character saying “In English please” after any reference to something on a computer.

I hate it so much when they do it. The writers should just say it the way an IT admin would and move on. Pretending that the character is speaking another language is just anti intellectual bullshit.

No human would stack books that way.

I HATE that windows will sort folders at the top instead of alphabetically with everything else. I guess it comes from using a Mac for so long.

I agree about .DS_Store in any mixed os environment though.

I remember this one. It is so great with the absurdity of everything.

I remember having a friend ask why my mouse connected to a s-video port.

My first thought was there might be a big mirror Ike a glass building or something behind the camera to cause the extra rainbows but photoshop makes the most sense.

It still has problems. Mainly you need to get power out there and the heated exhaust water can mess with the ecosystem.

I remember there was talks about a floating data center in the ocean.
