A car few men can own, and even fewer can park!

I'm not aware that Trump has ever lived in Charlotte.

'using it as a "golden opportunity to leverage the Trump brand to profit through fraud."'

Doesn't he realize that's the point of the whole Trump presidency?

The software is either secure or it's insecure.

If it's secure, they have no concern that anyone knows how it works.

If it's insecure, hiding the source does not secure it.

Plus, they have access to the many AI software code analysis tools, just as bad actors do.

Those are some great videos. Thanks for the cites!

I'm doomed to remember the awful, awful date with an attractive woman I really liked, where I shouldn't have had coffee after dinner and we went back to her place, and she only had a curtain for a bathroom door, and I needed to have an explosive dump right now and I had to bolt out of there like an idiot?

In Technicolor?

I won't be able to bury that?

Sounds like the work of Captain Kirk!

Well TOS did the half-black half-white guys (one of whom was Frank Gorshin - the Riddler), and the green dancing girl (who just looked swarthy on my B&W tv) without blowing their heads way TF up.

The big head. It's excess. It's inflation. It's the same thing that for years made the big boss fight in every single cheap horror flick Satan. Really? Were there no other ideas? Where do you go for an encore?

I like that idea.

My take on it (why I didn't bother watching any of these): too many series, too obvious that they're building a big canon they can mine for all kinds of shit, too many humans in big-fucked-up-head makeup.

In an entirely different series universe, The Twilight Zone distinguished itself from The Outer Limits by declaring that it was "Not a monster show". A bunch of big-fucked-up-head make up doesn't substitute for story and characters. In fact, I think it can impede.

Yes, Star Trek TOS pilot had the big butt-headed aliens, and there were others over the years, but even by TNG, the Klingon makeup was over the top. TOS did a lot with a little.

I'm hugely open to the idea that other life forms might not share our morphology. So why do they all look like humans with big fucked-up heads? Project Hail Mary did a great job with Rocky (a practical effect, not CGI by the way!) If you're gonna seek out new life and new civilizations, howsabout boldly going where no costume shop and makeup department have gone before?

Canon-wise, there ought to be one story through-line, not a Coca-Cola-like line extension (Caffiene-Free Cherry Diet Coke...). Make it comprehensible.

This happened a couple days ago and I have the boxes here, went and looked at them. A GFiber WiFi 6e, and an Asus RT-BE86U. GFiber's info is mainly online, but same problem.

Well, because neither router says what you suggest on the package. Each mentions 2.5Gb Ethernet ports, but neither says what other standards the ports support.

Neither does the switch I used to fix the situation: it advertises 1Gb Ethernet ports.

The "big yellow burst" (yeah, of course I was being a little facetious) could let you know "this won't support the minimum speed, in the way everything else with this connector has for decades".

As it stands, nothing on the box will answer that question before you buy it and try it.

Sure. I understand well that things change.

However, it'd be nice if the box had a big yellow burst that said: "Now Without 10Mb/s Support That Has Worked Until Now On The Same Connector Ever Since We Came Up With It!"

Sucks to get it home and find that this one is borked, too.

Somebody thought it'd be a great idea to remove full 10Mb Ethernet support from two recently-purchased routers I tried at home (bought the second after the first didn't work).

Turns out this would've cost me my venerable and much-loved Roku Soundbridge M500 and M2000 network music players, which are working just fine, thanks.

I had to buy a cheap switch to put between them to straighten this out. Waste of money.

I understand that 486 support takes up needed and scarce dev resources, and it seems reasonable to me to remove it.

But I wonder what hidden breakage (like my case) happens as a result of making these "reasonable" decisions.

And it just plain doesn't eat in the winter. It's strange and frightening, as we're concerned for its well-being.

Additionally, I finally have a good guess as to where our pet antelope disappeared to.

This...This is a SUCK!
