It’s more that flash NAND uses a small electric charge to keep the NAND gates in the correct configuration. Over time, that charge dissipates. If you power the storage device every once in a while, you minimize these chances.
Here’s a video explaining why it happens to Wii U’s after being powered off for a while. https://youtu.be/JHME4zLs6Qs
If there’s one thing I truly miss about attending church, it’s getting too see and hear that pipe organ up close. The one my parents took me to had all the pipes up behind and above the stage, so they kind of loomed over everything. I would get entranced just staring at the pipes and not hear a word the pastor was saying.
Your experience is not universal. I quit smoking using the pouches. Sure, some people are just going to use them as their delivery method instead of a cessation aid, but that doesn’t invalidate the ones like me. Stigmatizing the cessation aid hurts people in the long run because smokers will be less likely to pick them up. And if you were a smoker before, you know the smallest excuse will suffice to “delay” your quitting.
ETA: That being said, I find it absolutely vile that the companies making the pouches are the tobacco manufacturers who are getting people addicted in the first place. In a just world, tobacco executives would be treated as the slimy drug dealers they are.
Don’t forget the line before that where he starts it out with, “We’re looking forward to it…”
Just remember to hold your sign the right way round
Yeah, I get that. This one store has remained in its early-2000s renovation layout while all the other nearby locations of its size went the opposite direction and became Neighborhood Markets and only sell food. That’s what has me baffled by it.
The Walmart in my town is weird as fuck because it barely has any food in it. Like MAYBE 10% of their floorspace is foodstuffs. And it used to be okay because there was an employee-owned grocery store in town. Well, that grocery store chain apparently got bought out recently, and not only are they raising their prices faster than Walmart, they also can’t keep the shelves stocked because the people doing the ordering don’t work in the stores. I’m actually thinking I might have to start driving an hour to the nearest WinCo if prices keep skyrocketing like this.
It shouldn’t be too hard, and considering private key authentication, you could even use a single sign-in for multiple platforms/accounts, and use the public key as an identifier to link them across platforms. I know there’s already a couple proof-of-concept Gemini forums/BBSs out there already. Maybe they just need a popularity boost?
My work laptop has two USB-A and two USB-C ports, and that’s it. And once of those C’s gets used to charge it. Plus, it’s so thin that the battery lasts an hour and a half just idling on desktop. I’m just glad I mostly work on hardware stuff so I hardly ever have to actually use it.
Does this disable updates though? My wife somehow had Win11 installed on her pc without enabling secure boot, and her updates got so far behind that now it refuses to update and needs to be reinstalled.
Out of curiosity, do you have an Nvidia graphics card? I tried migrating to Linux at the beginning of this year, but I couldn’t get my favorite games to run, like Cyberpunk 2077 and Kingdom Come Deliverance, so I ended up bailing.
Can you delete Xbox games installed by another administrator? I ran into that problem a few years ago because I reinstalled W10 and had it keep “personal files” which apparently included my Xbox games. I couldn’t touch them at all, but I had W10 Home. I wonder if my problem could’ve been mitigated more easily than a full wipe of the drive? 🤔
The terror inflicted upon Native American peoples has been complete, it seems. AIM is a good example of what happens when you step out of line with the controlled opposition.
If you read the article, they’re heavily reading into what was actually said by the correspondent. They said nothing is off the table but conventional bunker busters should be enough to destroy the nuclear facility in Iran.
Honestly, just because I could, and once I had done it, I just liked the way it looked, so I’ve kept it. That, and I remember it being a pain to change in One UI. I don’t remember how I did it, and the process is probably different by now anyways, so I’d have to look it up, and I’m not about to do all that again.
This is my first time seeing another person using monospace font for social media in the wild. I’ve changed my phone’s system font to Fira Code to make almost everything monospace.
Until 2023, it was federally illegal to possess any illegal drugs along with a firearm, and drug users were barred from buying firearms.

It’s almost never actually a good business decision in the long-term to lose an employee, unless that employee is actually causing losses. All the layoffs of the past 50ish years from corporate downsizing is thanks to the business philosophy of Jack Welch. When you stop paying a large group of people, it looks good in the next quarterly meeting because you can point at the money you’re saving. The bad part is that now the business A) has lost that productivity, and B) will likely need to spend more money hiring a replacement worker who won’t be as competent.
A lot of people have mentioned ProtonDB already, but I’ll throw in Lutris as well. It’s a multi-platform game launcher that supports Steam, GOG, Humble Games, Epic Games, EA, etc. but its website also lets you search for a game title, and most should have a user-created method to launch.
