I hated that he turned down the remote at the end. I get that it’s the message of the film, don’t fast-forward your life etc, but it had so many other cool features!

Take the remote, disable the FF button, enjoy being a time lord!

This was definitely #1 on my “why doesn’t it have this” list. In fact it was the only thing on the list! Always felt so stupid leaving it on and plugged in to update. Especially when it goes into standby before finishing.

Bit of context from a Brit: He is extremely well known. Back in the day he was just regarded as cheeky. A bit of a perve but shrugged it off by being likeable.

After his death it all came out and he’s now the poster child for hiding sex crimes with fame. He’s 100% hated by everybody, I’ve never heard a single person defend him.

One time my buddy had sex with a girl he was seeing on my sofa. I just thought meh, I’ll clean the cushions, no big deal. My wife was pissed about it being on the sofa so she posted it on Reddit.

The Reddit response was fucking insane. We had a threesome. I watched it. I orchestrated the entire thing. My buddy wasn’t even there and I was just cheating on my wife. Somebody posted detailed advice on how to hide secret cameras around the house to catch me next time I’m cheating.

These aren’t cherry-picked, they were 95% of the responses. Those people don’t want to give relationship advice. They want drama.

Ah, I get ya. I was close!

Never heard it before. Maybe they’re trying to make a metaphor, like an acoustic guitar = basic, electric guitar = smart. Maybe mistranslation.

What are the 3 jokes? I’ll guess:

• upside down
• prisoners
• dingo ate my baby

Oh yeah I definitely wouldn’t recommend doing this unless you’re comfortable with all your colleagues!

Exactly, it’s my own version of teaching cyber security!

I recently set somebody’s homepage to meatspin.com and they snitched on me to the boss because they were worried they’d get pulled up for visiting NSFW websites. The boss just said “Why was your PC unlocked?”

If a coworker leaves their pc unlocked near me I like to click the phishing emails so they have to do the course. Tee hee!

I had a very similar strategy, except I was trying to avoid top 50. I once told a stranger my kid’s name and they said “I like it. Unique, but not weird”. That comment made me so happy!

You’re confusing Watts (power) with Watt-hours (energy). A Watt is a Joule per second. A Watt-hour is the amount of energy you’d use if you used 1 Watt for an hour i.e. 3600 Joules.

Microwaves use around 1000 watts. If you ran a microwave for an hour, it would use 1000 Watt-hours (aka 1 kilowatt-hour (kWh))

I went on a bit of a dive trying to find this out. Listening to Lemmy you’d believe a single text query burns 1,000 trees.

The “microwave for an hour” line comes from this article. It attributes it to Sasha Luccioni/Code Carbon, which monitored the power usage of a computer while it created a video with “CogVideoX” (not Sora).

So OP isn’t exactly right but unfortunately we don’t have much better to go off. I’m inclined to believe Sora would be much better than that. A surprising amount of news articles all eventually lead back to Sasha Luccioni.

I’m blinded by nostalgia but yes

Is this the opposite version of “I prefer girls without makeup”?

Recently had an issue where I deployed something with Docker but it wasn’t working properly for a few people in the business. It turned out to be the people who installed Docker with Snap. The main reason to use Docker is so that it works the same across different OSs and setups, but Snap managed to come along and ruin that.

I’m still ok to have my stag do there, right?

I applied for them once. Went through multiple rounds of bullshit, to just be turned down without giving me a reason or any feedback. One of the rounds was answering a list of inane questions such as “what would your highschool friends say about you?”. Never again.
