  • I will have my laptop and be available intermittently

  • It's also not technically wrong, its my understanding as someone in the US, a lot of places if you take medical leave, you're required to use up all your vacation and sick leave doing so, before the company let's you start eating into unpaid days or medical leave. So if you have a large medical issue, have a kid, etc, this post is true, you're being forced to use up all your vacation days to have surgery, or birth, and recover.

  • 18% of people running Nextcloud don't know what database they are using

    Jump

  • True, I guess not. But piracy was big at that age group because we were kids who didn't have our own money, so if our parents didn't buy the games we wanted, people would try to download them instead. So I fell into learning this detail by necesssity instead of out of pure curiosity or desire to learn more about the computer. I wanted to download Neverwinter Nights or whatever game, and fat32 was standing in my way, haha

  • Haha at some point it did matter to regular folks though. I remember in Junior high when I would try to pirate games or software on Windows, I learned the big difference between fat32 and the new filesystem Microsoft released, NTFS because I couldn't download files larger than 4GB on fat32.

  • Lol alright dude.

    Person A: why are we arguing? This is stupid. I'm done arguing.

    Person B: continues arguing

    I'm gonna go listen to the Monty Python skit now.

  • She was a celebrity so she had the status and power to stand up on a soap box and start yelling. I think you're understating her influence on the American Public. She was on a popular day time talk show 'The View' for a while that lots of parents watched while home with their kids during the day.

    Also, I honestly don't know why we're arguing about this. Both of these people suck and are responsible for the vaccine denial around us. I'm leaving it at that

  • In the US. It was Jenny McCarthy, she really gained a lot of popular and supporting attention around her wrong views, supported by the fraudulent research of Andrew Wakefield.

    Though its interesting this section of her bio is labeled under "Activism" and not "Controversy".

  • Review of the Star Labs Starbook7: thanks i hate it

  • I mean, I always buy used business line laptops for about $400 each when I upgrade, but if I plopped down new $1500 pricing for a new laptop, I'd be a little upset if I broke the USB power port. Guess that's just me though. I don't like planned obselence, most people don't seem to really think about that much I guess.

  • Am I the only one that thinks that USB-C power delivery is a con?

    Having the option to charge with usb-c in a pinch is a really nice feature, but for longterm use I'd really rather usb-c plus a seperate barrel jack for power.

    The barrel jacks on business line laptops are usually a separate module that if it breaks from catching the cord with your foot and ripping it out of the laptop, you can replace the module. I'm not sure I've really seen replaceable usb-c power jacks very commonly, they're usually part of the motherboard because it's a combined power delivery/thunderbolt port or something. Now if you rip the cord out the jack is totally fucked And you have to solder a new one on.

  • Fight breaks out in Mexico’s senate after debate over US military intervention to fight drug cartels

    Jump

  • True, other option I hadn't thought of is to use war time to stay in power, so we're 'forever at war' with Mexico to keep his dictatorship going

  • Fight breaks out in Mexico’s senate after debate over US military intervention to fight drug cartels

    Jump

  • So, here's the thing. We all know Trump's a bastard. If they use him to try to control the cartel's he'll pretty much just take over Mexico once the troops are in the border.

    In this case the enemy of my enemy doesn't apply here, because your enemy's enemy is a fascist asshole with no satiation for power and money.

  • How's the performance for media on that thing? I was eying up the surface go line to replace an android tablet that I mostly use for playing movies and TV shows I've downloaded. Think it would do okay playing back 1080p and higher content?

  • Oh Jesus Christ dude, I was trying to get you to calm down and stop being so argumentative when we both want the same outcome. No. 2nd. Holocaust.

    Take some time and cool off, I didn't mean to piss you off, and I don't take the holocaust lighty, I just off the cuff suggested an idea of trying to fight fascism with their own strategies, I dunno how you linked that to "I support Nazi's"...

  • You realize I'm arguing to try to stop what happened to them, from happening to others right? So yah, let's use corruption to fight corruption, what else do we have to lose? I'm not really sure why you'd be against trying anything to reject recreating the horrors those people lived through and witnessed.

    You're on a moral high horse by telling me more corruption isn't the answer, while also lecturing me about how horrible it was for those people. Let's uh.. Try whatever the heck might work to not have that happen again? Can we agree on that point at least?

  • I mean at this point I'd try anything to not recreate Germany circa late 1930's...

    I really doubt the people in concentration camps would have agreed with "ya know what? Maybe fighting corruption with corruption isn't something worth trying..."

  • The EU should play his own game and funnel foreign campaign money for none-GOP people through these stores.

    Of course we should have done this years ago since at this point we won't have fair elections, but for a brief moment, I was satisfied with my thought.
