Last rolling flat (not cold in the driveway) was on the way to a job interview. Pulled over, jacked the car up, put on the SPARE FUCKING TIRE, arrived late and asked for a minute to wash hands properly.

Got the job.

Didn't have 3 hours to waste on AAA.

That was with my dearly-missed candy white 2007 GTI.

Do it with a steamroller for a flatter organizational structure.

So much better.

Podcasts are an audio-format medium, delivered by an RSS subscription feed.

What the article is talking about are videos, not "podcasts". The medium is different, and the subscription and delivery mechanisms are different.

Further, the content is different in character, as an audio medium doesn't expect you to state at a screen while you consume it.

This isn't a matter of simple pedantics. The cheese is being moved for an entire industry, to the detriment of its subscribers and creators. As production costs go up, and attention to a screen is required, podcasting may just disappear.

How sad.

Wow, I'm on AWS and had zero downtime, apparently because I'm on a plain-vanilla Lightsail VPS. It's a tiny prod installation, but apparently too small to fail.

Maybe something positive to be said about "old ways" if you don't have to have instant scale...

Last time _I_ revealed _my_ camera for a toilet, the cops came!

Sorry: you have ACTUAL KNOWLEDGE about the domain being discussed.

Thus you're not allowed to post on /.

The overwhelming response I see and hear about AI from LLMs is "How do I shut that shit off?"

How does any biz make a success out of this crap?

...I'd like to pay you hundreds of dollars to borrow some speakers! Only 'til you're done with them."

Can't use a set of Bluetooth headphones to practice electric guitar (nor, I assume, keyboards; haven't tried keys).

The delay between picking the string and sound to your ear is beyond infuriating.

"Working at mine" - I mean my local CompUSA.

Well, there were a fair amount of jerks working at mine. I went looking for things like commodity SCSI cables, and got attitude like "A MAC? Get a REAL computer!"

Oh yeah sales guy? Is that PC what started your career rocket ride to the retail sales floor?

Which is a pretty solid chain of stores. Really glad we have two to choose from here.

Microcenter and CompUSA showed up at about the same time. That Microcenter is still here decades later, and CompUSA is dead in the tar pits says a lot about how they manage their business, and keep eyes on what the customer actually wants.

Very happy they have 3D Printing stuff, maker stuff, hobbies, cables and adapters, PCs, Macs, new and refurb phones, the works.

iFixit is pretty great too. Sounds like a positive move for both.

A paralyzed computer just might be able to sing some lider.
