In the 1980s when I worked at Atari we had recyclers come into one of our buildings and pull 46 miles of unused cable. Jeez.

48K Atari 800, 2 810 Floppies. 850 Interface, 825 Printer, Monkey Wards Color TV for display (Hey, can't win all the time). Good times!

Um, you need to edit the headline from Wisonsinites to "Wisconsinites", just sayin...

They may have folded, but they were backed up by the Redundant Ministry of Redundancy (apologies to Monty Python).

What is the name of that genius Republican governor who wanted to arrest the person who pointed out the gaping security hole in the teacher HR database? So many idiots, so little ammo...

I've never installed it, but when I'm handed a friend's computer that's borked, I *do* use KRD, with no network access, to scan the system. That's worked to get rid of instances of ransomware in the past (older stuff) that put up the old FBI warning banner, stuff like that. Haven't had to use it in a while, thankfully. I've never seen a free bootable rescue ISO of any of the American products. They're usually not worth spit anyhow.

Almost sounds like the eldar webways...

I'm as shocked as you are. The noive!

PSVR hanging off my PS4Pro.

Really tired of hearing about people going to the hospital for necessary medical care, like operations, and being turned away because of all the willfully unvaccinated idiots filling up the hospital demanding medical treatment RIGHT NOW. Here's an idea that's not new: Show up for treatment for covid, be ready to show your vaccination card. No card, get the hell out, we're not going to waste the time and resources on you. Heading off the whataboutism, this is people who WON'T get vaccinated, not people who can't. Been campaigning against vaccines? Try another state. People who WON'T get vaccinated are plague rats, and proud of it. How were plague rats dealt with in the Middle Ages? Let me think...

True, this. My wife is immunocompromised and she got her 2 shots and the booster as soon as possible.

Actually, yes, I did pay for Linux Mint. Wanted to stop being a freeloader. But I don't have any problems with this Firefox situation, so no worries. I'm actually starting to switch to Chrome because Firefox is starting to behave badly. I miss Seamonkey...

Saw this happen at Atari. Guy was made head of software (I *think* it was Alan Metzger, too many brain cells ago). Went around screwing everyone else, on layoff day he went around with the sad news, and when the last programmer was let go, he was pushed out the door with his little box of personals, and they were sitting out in the parking lot watching him lurch over to his car. I really think he didn't see that coming. Two wrongs don't make a right, but still...

This. Done with a "one-way" Zoom meeting, whatever that is. And an invite for the 900 casualties to at least be able to watch. Extra points for finding "a legal way to terminate him for cause". Parachute, what parachute?

Wait, did you say "legitimately elected US President"? ahahahahahahaha He won the last election too, right?
