Having just replaced a Maytag appliance only 4 years into its supposed 10 year warranty (that only covers the parts not likely to fail) because it would have cost as much as the machine did new to fix it, yeah… The Maytag is absolutely not better made and their “reputation” is just false advertising
Honestly? Yeah.
They’re perfectly functional still and capable of pretty much anything for a modern workload, spec depending… If they can run win 11 fine (and they should be able to if they can run 10), then the cutoff is arbitrary and will cause more systems to find their way to landfills sooner than they otherwise would have.
PowerShell is the only thing that comes to mind but I’m not sure how that’s useful for a handheld
Yeah, that’s kind of a crucial part of critical thinking, and can absolutely be done without shutting the kid up… You can critically analyze the question with them without discouraging asking questions
I think a big part of that is that they’re underfunded constantly, and it’s probably about to get way worse
It’s possible it was a joke, similar to the “Britain only has 12 actors” one… I would believe the FDA having more contractors than direct employees, but definitely more than ten
At least according to Wikipedia, as of 2022, they had 18,000 employees
I feel like they could have at least some success marketing machines with Linux preinstalled as “ad and spyware free” and get at least some people interested
Is that what that is? Huh… Guess I should have zoomed in more
I like how they also outlined the brain
Yep.
I use it as a command shell regularly and the verbosity isn’t an issue at all, between aliases and tab completion.
Honestly, having used both for years, PowerShell is actually easier in many respects just due to the object pipeline and dotnet, once you get to know them well enough. Being able to just toss output into a variable and mess around with it to understand its structure and contents is huge
Funnily enough, I use PowerShell as my daily driver and I rarely ever use the Format verb cmdlets and think they need to stop teaching people to use them as much as they do… They’re only meant to modify how things are displayed, but in doing so, they trash the objects that were on the pipeline and replace them with formatting commands, and cause confusion when people try to do something with what they output
The worst is using them to select properties, they should not have included that ability at all, that’s what the Select-Object cmdlet is for, which outputs usable objects
Anyway, sorry for the rant… I just think those overall teach new users bad habits.
Well, let’s be honest, it’s not exactly hard to make email suck. I’m sure he’ll find some interesting and creative ways to make it suck worse somehow, though…
Nah, that’s a cello, a viola just looks like a violin and plays like one, the difference in size is so small you probably won’t notice unless they’re sitting next to each other… The cello is played like in the picture and has a body that’s noticably thicker than a violin or viola even if they were all scaled to the same size
Edit: you know what, on looking closer, I’m not 100% sure that is actually cello thick, but it’s been a long time since I’ve seen them in person on a regular basis
Name checks out
I’m not sure exactly what it is you’re going after here, the issue is reducing the number of ICE vehicles being produced and sold. Unless your argument is that most people will just go elsewhere, then I don’t see how it isn’t a net win (ignoring the glaring issue that EVs are still cars)
If you’re complaining about the inequity of laws, that’s a real issue, but this isn’t a good example to go after.
Absolutely
They implied the worker on the other end of the line would be the next one to suffer grevious bodily harm or death.
Not really.
The call center rep likely gets daily death threats working that hellish job, ones far more direct. Ones that didn’t get the person arrested.
She implied someone at the top was going to be targeted. You know, someone the company actually cares about.
Not to mention, how many threats do those workers get in the average day? I’m betting it’s a number north of zero, and a lot more clearly threatening, and just as recorded.
I have no idea the stats on this but from everyone I’ve known who’s worked call centers for things way less critical than whether the caller gets live saving care or not, I would be shocked if they don’t get daily threats, and I’m betting none of them are taken seriously or charged.
What’s the difference? Who the threat is directed at. The rest are directed at the poor reps who are probably just trying to survive in a soul crushing job, while this references killing someone actually “important”: the people in charge
Sounded more like a prediction to me
