For clarity, I was being satirical.

The backdoors they use are there for freedom and justice, the backdoors the “others” use are tools of evil and security risks!

“Murder Hornets definitely gone.” says sweating person.

I believe it’s for beam forming which can be used to improve signal strength in a specific direction.

IKEA has a number of displays or showcases to demonstrate what their products look like in use. I believe the joke is that there is no toilet paper in the mock bathroom that the speaker has just shit in.

Fun tip, you can dump a bucket of water to flush the toilet. Useful if you’re ever working on your water supply after taco night.

Honestly, I’ve seen this too many times working in IT. The best option was always to set up a computer with a local administrator account, no access to the secure network, and let the entire department have access to it.

Install the camera software(s) on there and only there. Videos are then exported into a common file type and transferred through USB or DVD.

I’ve worked with Police departments that had dozens of different, unique software each with their own proprietary codec. Every time they requested a recording from a business there would be another unsigned .exe to run. Straight garbage.

Reminds me of Desmond’s speech in Smiling Friends. https://youtu.be/ccGwa900AHc

“Once we’ve finished draining the blood from the neck of the people we ensure their remaining time is as comfortable and wonderful as is possible. That is the purpose of our organization.”

Fantastic! This is one that should be implemented nationwide as a human right. If the press must be free to report, authors must be free to write. The right to read!

Some places have restrictions on the size of installed signs. That’s why you see signs slapped on the side of buses, shopping containers, trailers, etc.

Shot in the dark, but the barb and filling remind me of the DIY foundries you see online. Perhaps a way to add air or fuel and the thick lining is a heat resistant material to prevent the pipe from melting while in use.

I recently used the self checkout in an Aldi and it just… didn’t care. It was fantastic! I left most the items in my cart and just scanned everything with a hand-held scanner then paid and bagged everything at my car.

Then I went to another store and they have plastic bag holders welded in the scale area and it complained that my head was an unexpected item in the bagging area with a top-down camera perspective to prove it.

It’s been 14,000 years since a creature was born with the ability to reach that deep or a proper fear of what they will find if they do. Environmental pressure is a hell of a driver of evolution.

At least once. If they’re monogamous it could be as high as three times.

Step 1: Take pictures so that you can look back when you want to. The items are gone, but the memories are not. Step 2: Give them to someone who will appreciate them. Tell them the story so they can truly know what they meant to your family.

I just go by PassMarks rating for CPU and GPU. It may not be the most nuanced rating, but it does give numbers that can be easily compared.

Funny thing, I had already set my preference to “newest first” and the change was respected after they implemented the new setting.

I used to be paranoid and anxious…

But then I got high.

It’s somewhat comforting to know that no matter how far out in the wild you go you eventually find signs of humanity.

The fact those signs are pieces of trash that someone either left or blew in on the wind is depressing.
