  • Ryanair boss thanks Elon Musk for 'boost' in sales after online row

    Jump

  • I took Ryanair once and I'm sure they would price it at "I'd use it only at a gunpoint" level

    Plus most flights are ultra short. Are people so addicted that they can't be offline for 30 minutes? In the time they can enjoy the Ryanair staff selling the lottery raffle tickets or asking everyone if they want to drink a €3 cup of water or if want to buy cigarettes at full retail prices

  • House Democrats' support for impeaching Kristi Noem is exploding

    Jump

  • Wait a moment. I'm not American so I don't understand. In the house there are 213 democrats, so that means more than half of them is thinking that is perfectly fine and normal having someone like her? It doesn't seem like "skyrocketing numbers" to me. I understand that an alternate headline is "majority of House Dems are against impeaching noem"

  • This website where all listed prices are fake and you need to chat over 2+ days to know the real price

    Jump

  • Now i got a "oops I tried to squeeze too much money, let me try again" message that pisses me off even more

    I hate prices that change according to the perspection on how much the client can afford or pay

  • I also interpret it like that. But then when i went to pay the $175, they kept chatting with me for over two days ("exact size as stated without customization, right?" yes - "same color?" yes - "same material of description?" yes) to finally say that the price it's $1750 instead and the initial quote was completely BS, just to take leads. I wouldn't think that getting leads misleading customers by a factor of ten is a good idea, but if 90% of sellers there do that, maybe is working

    Jump

  • No. They clearly state 500 pieces for 0.35 each (which is too cheap)

    Then you send the order. They tell you ok wait tomorrow, then they ask irrelevant questions then 60 hours after the request they tell you it's not $200, it's $2000, oops

    Meanwhile when you send the order your phone and your email is given to dozens of sellers in total disregard of privacy laws and you start to receive spam via WhatsApp and email (I registered using alibaba@mydomain.com and I receive spam there so it's definitely not a coincidence)

  • Trump Is Obsessed With Oil. But Chinese Batteries Will Soon Run the World

  • Some PM: "it's Patch Tuesday, we must push the monthly update or the users will revolt, push it at exactly 10:00!"

    "But we didn't finish the tests!"

    PM: "Push. It. Right. Now."

  • Trump Isn't the First to Be Gifted a Nobel Prize He Didn't Win—Joseph Goebbels Got One Too

    Jump

  • Loser, he got only one Nobel prize.

    Mussolini got two Nobel prizes in 1935, one from Marconi and the other from Pirandello

  • In my country most Collective Bargaining Agreements negotiated by unions include a "coming off" day. After a night shift, you are legally required to have a rest period that usually covers the rest of that day and often the next, depending on the rotation cycle

  • It's better to use one of those fake USB drives that are actually discharging 4000 volts over the data lines to fry the whole computer.

  • Trump vows tariffs on eight European nations over Greenland

    Jump

  • This is the demonstration about why all his previous and future tariffs threatening must be ignored. Just 6 months ago all those countries agreed to buy billions of American made weapons and American oil&gas to get a measly 15% discount on tariffs paid by the us citizens. And now because the orange toddler can't get the new toy, they agreed to spend those billions for nothing

  • They "cannot guarantee" the product description of the 1.3k dollar laptop theyre selling is accurate because they used chatgpt to write it

  - Make a bootable USB drive from an isohybrid file (such as archlinux-xxx.iso) and show the progress:
    sudo dd if=path/to/file.iso of=/dev/usb_drive status=progress

  - Clone a drive to another drive with 4 MiB block size and flush writes before the command terminates:
    sudo dd bs=4M conv=fsync if=/dev/source_drive of=/dev/dest_drive

  - Generate a file with a specific number of random bytes by using kernel random driver:
    dd bs=100 count=1 if=/dev/urandom of=path/to/random_file

  - Benchmark the write performance of a disk:
    dd bs=1M count=1024 if=/dev/zero of=path/to/file_1GB

  - Create a system backup, save it into an IMG file (can be restored later by swapping if and of), and show the progress:
    sudo dd if=/dev/drive_device of=path/to/file.img status=progress

  - Check the progress of an ongoing dd operation (run this command from another shell):
