  • Why? I'd use the shit out of them at work. I work on construction sites. It'd be awesome to have an app to superimpose the finished plans on top of what I'm seeing so I don't have to constantly refer back to the paper prints. No more measuring shit five times, just install it exactly as you see it.

  • Do any of you people actually use your OS, or do you just distro-hop and tweak things all day?

  • This comic strip always weirded me out. It's like the Veggie Tales of comic strips.

  • Did you forgot about Tamagotchi? It would just be the next iteration of that.

    Kids aren't that stupid, in my experience. My son knew at 6 years old that the voice coming out of our Google Home speakers is fake.

  • Thank god macros and functions are different colors in my IDE.

  • I will refuse to call most cars made in the 80s or later "vintage" even though that's the technically correct word. "Garbage", yes. It's just not the same when it's just a shitbox full of dry-rotting composites and plastics. Older cars were something you wanted to keep around. Modern "old" cars are something you're embarrassed to be driving around in.

  • They probably meant things like monopoly breakups, wage increases, lowering healthcare costs, you know, things that directly affect the average person. This isn't going to affect my life in any way whatsoever. This squabble is between governments, not us.

  • Real pros check every line for malware

    Noob. How can you trust the underlying libraries and assembly code those functions/methods are coming from? Better get a debugger and watch those CPU registers while it's running.

  • Meh, the weed thing isn't that exciting anymore, I'm in Baltimore and pass five dispensaries on the way to work now.

    Thanks Colorado, for breaking through for the rest of us though.

  • We used to do that a lot, in the 90s and early 2000s. We determined that that's not a good idea. People even ran DEs under root.

  • Haha, I'm still over here messing with 10/100 Ethernet and USB 2 on my home projects. I'm used to bigger tolerances than the truly high tech stuff.

  • the lower voltage they operate at calls for more attention to be paid to signal integrity between the CPU and memory

    And they aren't kidding around, modern high speed signals are so fast that a millimeter or less of difference in length between two traces might be enough to cause the signals to arrive at the other end with enough time skew to corrupt the data.

    Edit: if you ever looked closely at a circuit board and seen strange, squiggly traces that are shaped like that for seemingly no reason, it's done so that the lengths can be matched with other traces.

  • So math is like painting, you can just arbitrarily add a splash of color somewhere to change the mood..

  • Ubuntu is basically dead

    It's dead for hardcore nerds that care about such things as snaps and such. But in the corporate world, it's very much alive. I literally just got done installing an Ubuntu-based NVR from Wisenet for a store's CCTV system.

  • And if someone chooses to watch that, that's their business. Not nanny government's. Not saying I do. But none of us have any business telling someone else what they can and cannot watch. That's part of living in a supposedly "free" country. We aren't China. You want a "great firewall", then move there.

    In our zeal to shun everything China-related, we must not become them.

  • I was under the assumption that the Constitution applies to all within the sovereign territory of the US, not just citizens. That's why undocumented immigrants are still given trials for suspected crimes.

  • Isn't that still in system RAM at this stage in the boot process?
