Could you elaborate on the reform? I hear the hype yet to me it looks like a severely overpriced tv box with some low-grade peripherials strapped to it in the least space efficient way possible. Did they got rockchip to release sources instead of blobs or something? What is the praise actually for?

First time? Just open the rear door, get inside snugle to the left, open door, exit. Leave the doors open for the next person, while your buddy walks right over the hood.

Jokes aside, been guilty of this quite a few times. Sorry about that. In my defence, this was almost always due to a senile intersection design.

Mine.

Quad screen portable setup, baybeh! Razer’s Valerie aint got nuttin’ on me!

I have a 2001 compaq n600 still being used from time to time as a gateway for old tech as it has COM as well as LPT and analog video outs. It has 1.2ghz celeron, 512mb ram, 30 gig drive. Thing is kind of a beast for its time as my own desktop at that time was nowhere close to its spects. Thing was gifted to me after initially being given to install win7 on it. After telling the guy that this isnt going to happen and the best they couldd hope for is winxp and even then it’d struggle, they told me “oh, so linux is the only option then… well, it doesnt work for me. Have it, then, have fun with it!”. I put ubuntu on it, but still gnome ground the poor cpu to a halt, so I had to switch to Xfce. Luckily it turned good enough not to downgrade further to things like bare X or Kolibri OS. Worked as a solitaire machine for my dad for a few years, helped me fix and set up stuff on a few occasions, but nowadays mostly collecting dust in my drawer.

Realistically, what are the odds of something going wrong unless you light up a cig while peeking right inside the fuel tank? Last year I’ve been taking smoke breaks at the gas stations every week near the pump with the crew working there, because I had to attend stuff in the middle of bumfuck nowhere, and wait around for potentially up to an hour with the gas station being the only inhabited place around. Still living and breathing, and I honestly don’t see how it could’ve turn badly. Yeah, I know, vapors and stuff, yadda-yadda, but those can only be in high enough concentrations to be dangerous maybe, at worst, within a hand’s reach of a tank or a nozzle? Otherwise, the station would have much worse problems than smokers.

That is expected to speedup though as headcount difference keeps getting skewed even more. At some point there just simply won’t be enough people to hold the line.

Arent they like $100/yr a pop? Thats less than what adobe charges for photoshop.

It’s not just gapps, though. Search, gtags/adsense, youtube, maps, etc are all so pervasive that google effectively controls the internet. You can try run ublock and a plethora of privacy addons, but those are only effective as long as Google is playing nice. Others, like Yandex, are not, and they defeat all those with ease.

Though I’d say running custom rom is an exception from the rule, along with people running with dumb or even no phone, but those are not but a blip on a big picture.

If you even have a phone then Google, the phone’s manufacturer, your ISP, the NSA and their respective governments already know everything about you.

Forgot this comic, thought it was about ratshaker

I remember when I was tasked with fixing up a personal/work PC of my colleague who was our lead artist. I was a bit shocked to see WinXP there, when win10 was already the norm, and with quite a bunch of severely outdated software on it. At the time, I thought “well, at least it does the job well enough for him to be still employed”. Now I understand that he was probably onto something…

Rubber. I dont want my target to go as easily as with others.

Prices are crazy, too. The key interest is at 20% and inflation is way over that as everyone expects rouble to crash as govt is printing bajillions to hand out to dead soldiers families.

WDYM less endowed? Looks pretty averagely endowed to me

Trick question, cause that spartan chip ain’t an SoC by itself. Zynq is, but it has ARM core which car run linux on it’s own.

Only the ones that are mostly filled. The ones where it pokes just a little bit, you can select or you could skip, it shouldn’t really matter.

I tried to give it a piece of ~200 lines of JS I was positive there was an error in, and it tried to gaslight me into thinking there wasn’t any… I tried everything, pointed it specifically to suspicious bits, asked for breakdowns, assertions, test cases… which it then promptly copy-pasted to me straight from my own code… Took me a few hours to find, but there was, in fact, a rookie mistake in it, just hard to spot at a glance.

Some Russian ones:

недоперепил: недо - not quite, пере - overdid, пил - drank. Sounds weird due to opposing suffixes, basically means “haven’t drunk enough to get completely wasted”, in my circles we use it to describe displeasure when the alcohol runs dry on events we’ve set to get wasted all along.

опердень: Due to how it’s only used in professional circles and how language is structured, someone hearing it for the first time might think it’s a word rooted from “пердеть” (to fart), and based on the suffixes assume it relates to some kind of creature that farts (or get farted) all over. But it’s actually a shorthand for Операционный День (processing day) which is how finance guys call their banking software as it basically replaced said processing day in their work.

Same for “опсос” - sounds like “someone who sucks all over something” but is just a shorthand for “оператор сотовой связи” - phone service provider.
