Or back in reality, Microsoft already has an active process for blacklisting KB releases so they don't automatically get reinstalled. Come on man, so much on this company to shit on, at least put some effort into making it realistic.

The more prominent one was any graphics driver. If you wanted an up to date graphics driver it was not WHQL certified. If you chose the WHQL certified driver you almost always had problems playing newly released games. This applied to both NVIDIA and ATI back in the day (not sure about some of the smaller players).

WHQL started in 1995. It was 2011 before NVIDIA started WHQL certifying its "Game Ready" drivers on day 1 - the latest ones released to support major new game titles. Before 2011 there was a good chance your WHQL drivers were a couple of major versions behind.

Such a strange thing to say when I made the 5th post and 1st reply in an open discussion forum. Your head really is just a container to hold your teeth isn't it.

No they didn't have a couple of suitcases stolen. They had incredibly valuable IP stolen that if leaked could have caused very significant material loss to a commercial enterprise. I don't particularly give a shit if this happens to Beyonce, she's got plenty of money, but the reality is just because Bruce66423 doesn't have anything valuable in his suitcases doesn't mean that someone else's suitcases are just "a couple of suitcases".

And given that the stolen materials weren't recovered it is quite probable that the person also profited from sale of commercial trade secrets. 5 years is getting off lightly for that.

Divided we beg.

There is no such thing as today's unions. That's a talking point from the Epstein class. Unions are unions and unions are nothing more than workers organizing together because by yourself you just get squished like a bug next to Bill Gates or Elon Musk.

You are not nor will you ever be a member of the club.

I just looked at your number - yes, you have been here for quite a while.

Be that as it may, My original thesis that the poor are not kept away from art, and you aer working your best to turn it into something that sounds suspiciously like the poor dying en masse in the streets. And the wealthy laughing at them. Sorry, mon ami, that isn't my argument, you'll have to take that up when you revolt and eat the wealthy. Then the poor will establish a new country of fairness for all, From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs. Do you want to talk about the relative access to art by income, or do you want to spout other stuff.

If so, reply with something other than trying to turn me into some sort of MAGA mouthpiece.

I'm looking - out of curiosity, is the EU going to only use Android?

I don't think it should be hard to get in A in a 100 level English course. The course isn't there to teach you the finer nuances of literature and the language it's there to establish a baseline and make sure you are at it.

From there if you want to make the course work more advanced than make the course work more advanced and put that in the goddamn syllabus. Do not set an arbitrary limit to the number of people who can score the highest because if you got five As to hand out and six folks who can do A grade work you're just throwing somebody under the bus and blaming it on grade inflation.

If you cannot design a course that becomes challenging for your top students that's either because you're not trying or because you're not always supposed to be pushing people to their absolute limits no matter what '80s movies tell you.

The goal of a school, even a college, isn't necessarily to create the best of the best and discard everything else it's to raise the overall level of civilization as a whole. As soon as you lose sight of that all you're really doing is creating useful corporate drones to enrich the Epstein class.

The job market for new hires is going to shit because we're in a recession and can't acknowledge that reality for reasons that absolutely nobody can guess...

So this becomes an arbitrary way for employers to pick an employee.

And yeah I would be pretty pissed off if I did the work exactly correctly and still got a B because there were only five slots for As and there were six people in my class doing A grade work.

Also oftentimes there isn't enough slots in the 300 level and 400 level courses and very small GPA differences can be used to decide who gets one of those slots. So having your grades basically be assigned arbitrarily is pretty fucked up.

If we weren't all stabbing each other left and right crabs in a bucket style I think it would be less of an issue but well, we are.

Well yes this happens very often. In fact the only kernel panics I've ever had on Linux were dodgy drivers. And the single most common problem on Macs are "GPU Panics" due to drivers.

It turns out when you have a piece of code that runs in a very low level written by god knows who, then you need a way to manage them not screwing up your system.

Fun fact: we wrote our own USB driver for a team project at university, one of the most frustrating things was waiting for the computer to reboot so we could have another go.

I'm not. Nor are any of the people I've worked with using KiCAD save for one or two. Point is, I've been using this for 20 years and have never heard it pronounced that way. It seem so strange to see someone write it in a Slashdot post as if it is relevant.

As to the original author, I've not met him, I've only met users, so the creator's thoughts are sort of irrelevant. Maybe one day I'll go to France and meet a PCB designer there.

Yeah but have you met Linus? If not it doesn't matter how he pronounces it, the question is how do people you know pronounce something.

Yeah but that's sort of irrelevant isn't it. Just because the creator of the GIF weighs in on the matter didn't settle that argument either. If you need to write out how to pronounce something then you spelled it poorly. It's sort of a lost argument when the general population uses a different name than the one you think you were using.

Literally zero people. I've been using the software for decades and literally today was the first time I learned that someone thinks it was pronounced by a dolphin.

I think you missed the part of my post where I said you should say hi to people. Or do you go into work in the morning and say "hee boss how was your weekend. ;-)"

While I agree a 3D model is handy it is mainly so for mechanically complex situations - components placed such that they may conflict with other components over them, interact with a board in a stacked configuration, or how the board fits in a tight enclosure (at which point a full 3D model is basically essential for modern miniaturised designs.

But for 99% of the people using KiCAD for hobbies the view without part models is sufficient.
