hyperinflation has created more millionaires than any other economic scheme

I'm self-censoring every thought I have on this one so I don't end up on a(nother) list

Datacenters everywhere do this. Equinix AM3 heats the Science Park, and the bank datacenter I supervised in Switzerland heated the surrounding bank offices and some of the adjacent residential neighborhood. I guess these Italians just wanted some free PR.

You can send your kid to a university in Ireland or the UK and pay full foreign rate tuition and accommodation and it'll be a hell of a lot less than $250k in the end. Why don't you do that?

Sweet update, guys. How can I disable it?

"Mmmm I love the taste of boot, yum yum"

This is the sort of person who would just follow orders

ChatGPT is perfect to keep the irritating extraverts who need to constantly talk occupied while the introverts get some bloody work done

If you think that's bad, there's currently an Indian company called Pebble that makes smartwatches, wholly unrelated to the Pebbles we're thinking of.

This is China, after all. Start with "they're lying" and then try and disprove it.

My unibody MacBook shipped from the factory with the max 4GB RAM config, and it thrashed under real use in 10.6. It took Apple a couple of years to ship firmware that would recognize 8GB; we were stuck with 6GB for a while.

I guess some people don't really use their computers very hard.

Just replace the battery, ma'am. They're like $50. I'm on my third!

I went two articles deep looking for the root-level citation. Here it is:
"Some systems even look historic like they were designed on Windows 95."

Read that again. "Look historic like." Not *are* Win95, or indeed Win3.1. Probably just VB6 applications with outdated controls.

But nobody bothered to read two articles deep, and then somebody tweeted authoritatively that they were running Win3.1, and now it's a Known Fact. This shit pisses me off so much. Great example of how stories grow in the telling.

Linux is a self-service operating system. If you want to use it, then just use it. Try distros until you find one that works for you. Don't get sucked into distro-specific ways of doing things e.g. yast, or you won't understand the underlying configuration logic. Be prepared for everything to not work, and be prepared to make system administration your hobby.

Please don't lie to people and tell them that Gimp is as good as Photoshop, or LibreOffice is as good as Microsoft Office. They're shit, but you get what you pay for. Most people are better off just buying a Mac. You can run those shitty apps on macOS, too, but you also have the option to run decent commercial software. Pirate it if you can't afford it.

I wasn't going to buy one, but now I will.
