RIP to all the hobby machines running 32-bit Windows for old games. Download your archival copies now.

The trend of posting videos of taking naps, running errands, attending ball games, and other things on company time may have been in jest, but people in higher position at companies took these as truth (or at least saw the potential truth in them).

Even if you can get all your work done, and then some, and then still be able to run your errands, these companies want you locked in the company mind-state all day long. They may claim they care about your work-life-balance, as long as your life doesn't affect the solid 8-9 hours they want you in the office.

So thanks to all the TikTok videos, reels, and shorts depicting all the goofing off. I hope the likes, subscribes, and Internet Points were worth it.

Transunion is a bureau that also offers credit monitoring when your info is leaked in a breach. I wonder if this leak affects those using the monitoring services, effective being leaked twice.

I also wonder if they will ironically offer those affected by the break a free year of credit monitoring through Transunion.

I've had an EV for 6 years. Part of the lifestyle is having home charging. You always leave your home with the car at your desired State of Charge (SoC), and that includes charging it up to a higher threshold before going on a roadtrip.

Using public DC Fast Chargers is great for roadtrips, but using them as the sole means of charging is counter productive to the "savings" of not having to pay for gas. Charging at home tends to be much cheaper!

Also, where I live, you really need to garage your car. With summertime hail, winter time subzero temps and blizzards, you should protect the car from these conditions to maximize its battery life and, for the case of hail, its appearance.

I feel like a moon should be an oblate sphereoid and not some captured asteroid or other misshapen object. That would really trim down the number of "moons" out there. We can still call these non-moons "satellites" of a planet though.

Earth has been doing its thing for billions of years. It will continue to do so.

Returning to Office and having all that jabbering around you, plus the jabbering of people using their computers....

...just to play video games and use Office.

Imaging having that job -- to curate enough amateur porn to train an AI to detect it.

Free drinks served to you at the slots and gaming tables. People showing up with partying clothes and being relaxed and carefree. Yes, they're gonna spend money, with or without blue light.

When you publish a paper like this, even if you are wrong, no one alive right now will be able to tell you that you were wrong.

Win-Win.

...and you can't turn that behavior off.

Apple cares about your privacy though, so they're totally not doing anything with those pictures outside of your device.

Yes, privacy should be on by default.

No, because people are the product when it comes to software and services. Collecting data about your use of software or a service for metrics/analytics and then selling that data allows the software/service to be provided for free. No one will opt-in to have their privacy turned off, so the model collapses. When that model collapses, no more free things.

Oceania's Ministries had machines that would produce the books and media consumed by the proles, filled with content the government of Oceania would keep the proles subdued and entertained.

The moment I heard the news, I downloaded the client, got signed in and was pleased to find my old v-bucks balance sitting there waiting for me. This is a separate v-bucks bucket from the console client I normally play the game on.
