Comment Re:Fuel or electrical? (Score 1) 106

Bad fuel, No.

If it's bad fuel then other aircraft at the airport would have the same problem. And there appear to be none that have had that problem.

The RAT deploys if there's one of dual engine failure, electrical failure, hydraulic failure. And it won't supply full electric power.

Wait for the authorities to report. They want to get it right first time.

Comment I'll second Laser and Brother (Score 1) 92

I'm running a Brother HL-L2375DW.

Mono laser, networking, double sided printing, wireless, USB. Up to 34 pages a minute. Windows 7 up. Very happy am I. The old HP Lasers are now heading for the bin.

With the right Brother you can even print from Windows 98SE. But you need to carefully do research before thinking any Brother can do this. I was lucky in my purchase.

I carry around an iPhone. That's enough AI for me.

Do I want to wear and have to plug in all of the extra AI gizmos that he suggests? No. And do I wish to share all of my personal thoughts and words and actions with an AI that is going to send those back to the mothership/database somewhere. Like hell, no. And can I trust that AI? Who is vetting it's algorithm? I mean it wouldn't be steering me wrong; influencing my purchasing decisions, my partner preferences, my viewing habits, my voting choices. It wouldn't do that, would it?

Publisher replacements. Look at:
Scribus https://www.scribus.net/ Free. Can import Publisher files.
Affinity Publisher https://affinity.serif.com/en-... Proprietary. Can not import Publisher files. You'd have to either save the MS Publisher files as PDF and import them that way or use LIbre Office to import them and then save as docx files and those you can import.

Anyone who thinks employees who "work from home" don't goof off is delusional. That said, any manager who can't monitor the employees work with goals/milestones shouldn't be in management. Give your employees a task, and deadline, if they're on or ahead of target, who gives a shit if they're goofing off. If not, then you can bitch about it, and hold them accountable.

FWIW, before retiring several years ago, I'd been on both sides of that equation since the early 90s.

The first computer I used was in HS around '73. We had three teletypes with acoustic modems to allow us to connect to the local community college...did a year of BASIC on those.

In our electronics club (I was the club VP for a couple yrs), we built a Altair 8800 kit.

When I graduated HS, my parents got me a TI-SR56, 99 step programmable calculator. I still have it.

I worked on many computers for the next several years as a USAF technician, but didn't get my own until buying on e of the first 128k Macs. Had that for a while and upgraded to a 512ke, which I still have.
