Just did the same thing with a 2015 Intel MacBook Pro. It runs great, had some issues with screen flickering but I think it was only happening while using Remmina for RDP and it seems to have gone away by excluding Remmina from display scaling (retina display). So far pretty good battery life too…

Is it because Netgear is a “US” company? Meaning they are on the US stock exchange, have corporate offices in the US, and manufacture everything in Asia?

Maybe not, I don’t know how much he makes, there’s a lot I’d put up with if it could mean early retirement. If he’s really making 2.8m in two years then that’s a mil after taxes and there’s no reason he couldn’t retire at 40 and live a more modest lifestyle. Could be worth it.

Yeah seems kind of whiny since he’s super successful and was probably already well-off, but on the other hand…

I’m kind of tired of hearing that my nieces and nephews have no career goals other than to be a “content creator”.

Maybe if more people were honest about what it takes and how the social media companies have started to squeeze creators then kids would aspire to get real jobs.

Yeah, it’s not a trivial problem to solve either, especially if platforms censor mentions of decentralized alternatives.

However, it’s hard for the oligarchs to censor the fact that an organization like EFF exists, and hopefully someone clicks on one of their posts and reads something on their blog about decentralized alternatives.

There are a lot of tricks for peeling boiled eggs, but fresh eggs from a chicken coop in your yard are a different ballgame.

Yeah, he seems to think that the over-moderation is a good thing, and Cindy tries to convince him that censorship is bad and the answer instead is more like what you can do with the Fediverse, you can move servers if you don’t like how the server is moderated and who they federate with, but people are free to say what they want in their servers.

The word fiancé is French so I had to refer to my wife as my freedom partner before we got married.

Do you blow a trumpet with your nose?

I guess the ever clear kills the tapeworms and ecoli?

And going to a Trump rally at the height of Covid

I think this sort of thing happens in software engineering a lot… it doesn’t matter whether genAI tools are the right solution to a problem. Billionaires are throwing an alarming amount of money at this, so they are basically trying to get a slice of that pie by virtue signaling that they love genAI, even if they don’t think it’s that valuable.

My employer wants features delivered, I don’t have time to circlejerk about genAI.

Depends on whether or not the Dow is over 50k

SQL is pronounced “squirrel”

I think it’s for rough terrain, like carrying packs of supplies through war zones. So not full climbing but at least able to step over rocks and debris.

It’s hard to tell from this whether they isolated cannabis use from smoking. That seems important to clarify…

Both IBM and Oracle I haven’t really worked with because they’re heavily used by massive companies. We had an Oracle database when I was in banking that was because we were self hosting a loan accounting system. IBM does backend data processing stuff for massive companies like American Express and Bank of America. All of the smaller shops I’ve worked in have built things on Microsoft’s stack.

Balatro should just be renamed to Flush, every single time I win it’s because I use the “discard until you have a flush” strategy, and augment that with Jupiter, wild cards, steel cards, and jokers that give bonuses for flushes or single suits.

No, pretty much no President besides Trump would even consider doing traitorous shit.

Garland and the Biden administration and Jack Smith took great care to ensure that Trump would be held accountable for his crimes in a way that was professional and followed due-process and could not be seen by a reasonable person to be a political witch-hunt.

75 million people fucked it up by voting for Trump again. Biden fucked up by not bowing out and holding a primary, but Jack Smith and the DOJ put together a great case that likely would have resulted in him being held accountable.

Great to see this feature coming back, now do this for a phone and add back removable SD card.

Still haven’t found a use for a non e-ink tablet…
