They look like the press kit for one of those Million Dollar Skank-off romance-game-shows. I assume Thursdays at 9, next day on Paramount Plus?

Floats for currency in a payments platform.

The system will happily take a transaction for $121.765, and every so often there’s a dispute because one report ran it through round() and another through floor().

He’s so cute! He can monitor me any day!

Thwn I’d expect higher figures for musicians, swayed by the top .01% that suck up all the fame and royalties.

Make something unmarketsble.

My big hobby project was software for 30-year-old computers, not a big market.

On a high level, you can get a cleaner like Deoxit D5 in a spray bottle. Most pots have a slit in them so you can spray into them, then turn the pot through its range a bunch of times. It’s worth a try as a start. Obviously do it while the unit is unplugged.

If you want to consider a more aggressive rebuild, like a capacitor replacement, maybe find a cheap old amplifier at the thrift shop to use as practice for desoldering/resoldering.

You might be able to connect the BT to one input on the amp, like the tape input, and the CD to another.

It can’t be a real “as seen on TV” product because they didn’t use the phrase “in the palm of your hand”.

One day they’ll need to sell a larger product and be forced to hire actors with freakishly gigantic hands.

Some mainboards have very few PCI-e slots.

I ended up with a similar adapter because the onboard SATA on my board was flaky with optical drives and I rip CDs.

What problem does CSD solve? I’d think “some apps look and work differently” is a pretty bad tradeoff for “I want to cram custom stuff in the title bar which was more or less universally treated as owned-by-the-system for the first 35 years of GUIs at least?”

GTK/GNOME seem to be making themselves actively hostile towards customization, which seems a great way to lose enthusiasts.

It’s clearly DisplayPort.

Can I be a minor character gesturing rudely at the anthromorphic prophylactic and declaring “Arlong did nothing wrong”?

How about pseudoscorpions? One landed on my arm a few weeks ago (probably fell out of the AC ducts) and it was charmingly silly proportioned for a tiny little thing waving pincers.

The 487 was just a full 486DX with a pin that told the motherboard to deactivate the soldered-on 486SX.

I know that Grok went Nazi but Gemini going fundie wasn’t on my bingo card.

I believe the IJK convention comes from an early programming language where those variables defaulted to a decimal type so thry were sane choices for loop counters.

I believe the huge mistake in HTML wasn’t having some sort of element-level addressability.

People went insane over “the page flashes for 15ms because we have to reload the header and footer and it doesn’t look NAAATIVE!” and the response was to SPA/AJAX everything, inviting a huge Turing-complete nightmare of possibilities when 95% of what peopleneed would be delivered with < form action=“blah” replace_with_response=“#foo” >

That and a dearth of native widgets-- a < combobox > and a < menu > that worked like the system menus might have kept JavaScript as the sick oddity it should be.

Let’s not sell Insect Overlords short. They’ve been aroubd for 350 million years, they must know something.

Grok went into a new conspiracy k-hole?

Let me stop at the Sunoco and pick up eught gallons of CHIN.
