Until you start seeing fines like “20% of your yearly revenue” this shit is gonna keep happening. A $1M fine isn’t even a slap on the wrist to a telecom

That one DankPods video of the “AI Rice cooker” comes to mind

While that’s certainly a better experience, it does waste precious seconds of our time

Time not having [corporation]'s advertisements shoved in my face is time well spent

Hi Zron, you seem to really enjoy eating shredded cheese at 2:00am! For your convenience, we’ve placed an order for 50lbs of shredded cheese based on your rate of consumption. Thanks!

Not a bridge expert, or really any kind of expert, really. But railroad rails are laid with a little gap to account for thermal expansion of the rail on hot days. If the expansion is more than designed for, you get buckling like this. This bridge was probably also designed to account for thermal expansion to a certain degree. It seems like more and more of our infrastructure is starting to fail, encountering heat levels it was never expected to encounter. I wonder if failures like this and worse are going to become a common headline

You and your 692 partners can fuck off

PC Manager sounds exactly like one of those garbageware “PC tune up” apps I used to clean off of customer computers back when I worked at a repair shop. Right down to changing your homepage/search engine. But at least the other guys would give you a snazzy coupon toolbar or three.

Adding this to my list of reasons why I don’t give “110%”

Really saved us a lot of time when we figured out you could just piss in the can

First I just draw this head, then erase some of the details… there! A circle!

I live in the upper midwest and we were hit by it too. Myself and a bunch of my co-workers were without service until about an hour ago. We’re mostly AT&T and Verizon around here

Libreoffice will likely still work fine for you, especially now that you’ve got autosave turned on. Heck, I have faculty that refuse to use anything other than LibreOffice, so I have it installed in our computer labs. As long as you’re saving and backing up reasonably often, you should be good to go. Though your school likely has a cloud suite that you could use too. Office365 and Google Workspaces are by far the most popular. It would be integrated with your daughter’s student email which I can’t imagine a modern school not having. If you’re not sure, contact the school and they’d be able to help you.

I’m sorry your kid lost her paper! It’s always a bummer to take a call and it’s a kid crying because their paper went up in smoke. If you haven’t already, contact the teacher and let them know what happened. IME most teachers are reasonable and as long as “office ate my homework” isn’t your go-to excuse, they’ll give you an extension.

I support Office365 in an education environment and you wouldn’t believe the number of documents lost to autosave. Autosave and document recovery are definitely nice and useful to have, but they’re not infallible. Shit happens and when it does, it’s when you’re finishing up your midterm the night before it’s due.

You need to save, and save often. And if the project you’re working on is “super important it’s 50% of my grade” make backups. Even just saving a copy to a flash drive is better than nothing.

That implies that I’m interrupting my gaming session to go to the bathroom instead of just using my gaming diaper

I mean, can’t you just package your app in flatpack or even snap? Bam, your app works on 99% of distributions for little effort. That’s what Spotify does, and I’d argue they have even less incentive to support Linux than proton does

Tech bros will call trains unviable and obsolete and then burn truckloads of money on shit like this
