Put last nights Biden up against any option from the previous primaries. Even Harris. He looked and responded exceptionally poor last night and anyone else would have been a better option.

I can’t read it.

Brkdncr ,

Why is it on a post it note? Did he write that himself and sign it?

Brkdncr ,

90% sure I saw this guy at a Margaritaville in Palm Springs. Looked exactly like him, had a lanyard and had some sort of assistant walking with him.

Brkdncr ,

I hear what you’re saying but hear me out: what if we could make money off it instead?

Brkdncr ,

If there was a calf or bull around I wouldn’t walk through.

You can yell at them and they might disperse. If they don’t then you’d be able to walk through them.

Cows just don’t like to be startled, that’s about it.

Brkdncr ,

Behind the Arby’s.

How long would it take to create a Pyramid today?

Just a shower thought. Seeing how these structures took decades to build in their times, and that too entirely with manual labour, I was wondering how long these architectural marvels would take to be built in this post modern era with the help of our technological advancements....

Brkdncr ,

Is slavery allowed?

Wouldn’t a tax hike only get passed through to the renter?

Credit card debt is soaring, especially in these cities (thehill.com)

Using data from the Census Bureau, TransUnion and the Federal Reserve, the study’s authors looked at inflation-adjusted household debt in the country’s largest 181 cities found Santa Clarita, California to have the highest average household credit card debt ($21,836), followed by Chula Vista, CA ($20,920), New York, NY...

I couldn’t imagine having $20k in cc debt at the interest rates they charge.

Man survives being lost in California mountains for 10 days by eating berries (www.theguardian.com)

As McClish told it, the 34-year-old outdoors enthusiast from Boulder Creek, California, lost his bearings after beginning his hike the morning of 11 June. He had not informed anyone else of his plans, so it would not be until the afternoon of Thursday, 20 June, that the unkempt-looking hiker was found at the bottom of a remote...

Brkdncr ,

How do you end up getting lost hiking when you don’t even have a water container?

Brkdncr ,

I’m surprised they made it out their front door successfully.

Brkdncr ,

I’m on a drug that’s $3k per month and my insurance only pays a few hundred of that, even though my benefits claims it covers 100%. I then applied for a coupon card which when used covers the remaining amount.

It doesn’t make sense because it’s all made up fairytale pricing.

The few hundred my insurance is paying is probably closer to the real cost but even that isn’t trustworthy.

What's was your favourite fast food product that unfortunately got retired and never came back?

Here, for a while at McDonald’s there was a 🍔 called “the 1955” and it was the best, big pieces of onion, an special sauce, buns and big piece of beef with bacon (for Europe standards anyways) it disappeared once and came back for an encore only to be removed again and never return.

Brkdncr ,

Foot long chili dogs.

Brkdncr ,

I think this makes the intermediate company a military target?

Her skin looks pretty good for a mugshot.

Brkdncr ,

What I really hate is when I search for a problem I’ve seen off and on for a few years and the search results is exactly the issue im experiencing.

Great!

Only to find out after chasing that link that it was me who posted that question, 4 years ago, and it’s still unanswered.

Brkdncr ,

That guy sucks.

Brkdncr ,

Great read. Here’s the juicy bit if you don’t have time:

Could the industry conceivably make enough propylene and ethylene through pyrolysis to replace much of our demand for new plastic?

He looked three years into the future, using his company’s latest figures on global pyrolysis investment, and gave an optimistic assessment.

At best, the world could replace 0.2% of new plastic churned out in a year with products made through pyrolysis.

Microsoft Edge nags users with a 3D banner to change Windows 11's default browser (www.windowslatest.com)

Would you use Edge as your default browser on Windows 11 if Microsoft nags you with a 3D banner? Microsoft thinks you would. In a new experiment, which appears to be rolling out to Edge stable on Windows 11, Microsoft has turned on a banner that uses 3D graphics to promote the browser....

Brkdncr ,

It’s probably the browser, not the OS, that’s doing this. The teams are separate although someone in upper management oversees them both.

Brkdncr ,

One one hand, this can be pretty annoying.

On the other, when thinking about the lowest common denominator general user that’s been tricked into running some awful PUP-ware browser, I can understand MS’s point.

Brkdncr ,

Ever since windows 11, edge, and MS’s approach to resetting defaults, I’ve stopped getting support calls from relatives. Yes it’s riddled with annoyances but it’s a net improvement over previous gen software. I see regular people struggle with tech and can tell things have improved dramatically for them.

Brkdncr ,

Just disable the windows update services.

You could also use a allowlist firewall rule to restrict access to what you need.

Also why the paranoia? What do you have against windows updates?

Brkdncr ,

Win11 isnt forced.

Breaking vpns was a result of security fixes and was addressed. This is normal for all OS’s that get patched.

There’s no restarting without prompting.

Copilot is optional.

I don’t need to go on.

Brkdncr ,

It was pretty simple to stop windows 11.

Updates will eventually restart but not unprompted. There is a combination of settings you can set that will install updates right away and restart soon after, but it’s not default.

The vpn issue didn’t affect all vpn software and a workaround was available.

MS adds features to their products and are pretty forceful about getting you to use them.

Brkdncr ,

If it’s hot outside we can raise the price of water…”

Holy fuck dude that’s some endgame capitalism right there.

Brkdncr ,

They’re advertising this a little wrong.

It should be $30/mo for insurance and it comes with a free surge protector and generator hookup.

Honestly if you can cancel that subscription and keep the equipment that’s probably a good value.

Brkdncr ,

Mayo mixed with a spicy chili sauce.

Brkdncr ,

Because many 3rd party hardware providers are lazy, while Linux maintainers are not.

Ms provides a way to have drivers deployed over their windows update channels when needed but the hardware provider has to do it.

Linux allows basically anyone to provide a driver.

Brkdncr ,

Jesus these people have families. Figure it out and let them leave or don’t figure it out but let them leave.

You aren’t going to get new information from them by now.

Brkdncr ,

Bad faith argument.

We can imprison people indefinitely. They aren’t going to be responsible anyways. If anything it’s the local government’s responsibility. They should have protected critical infrastructure. Maybe vessels capable of causing catastrophic damage should be escorted by tug boats.

Brkdncr OP ,

Hmm I wonder why MS has spent so much time converting office apps to run on webview2…

Brkdncr OP ,

They’ve also been pushing PWA hard. A lot of apps run on webview2 even in specialized industries.

I won’t be surprised if we see a larger push to non-x86 and if it’s arm then it’s also possible to go risc-v if app support is there.

Brkdncr ,

So you don’t need to change your network if your isp changes.

Brkdncr ,

Yes but you’d still be performing NAT. It’s at least 1:1.

You’ll need to deal with firewall rules regardless, and drop IPs into policies. IPv6 doesn’t remove any of those chores but gets rid of having to maintain tables to deal with many-to-one NAT.

Brkdncr ,

If you use a single shared public ip then you’re using some amount of address translation.

If you’re using an external ip address that’s different than an internal ip address but both are assigned to a single host the you’re doing 1:1 NAT.

At least that’s how I understand ipv4 and I don’t think ipv6 is much different.

Brkdncr ,

What translates the public ip to the internal ip? Aren’t they different?

Brkdncr ,

Just like ipv4 though, you wouldn’t use external addresses internally because your external IPs might change, such as when moving between ISPs. You would NAT a hosts external address to its internal address.

Brkdncr ,

DNS doesn’t propagate fast enough.

Brkdncr ,

Love this. I don’t know much about risc-v but I’d love to see it disrupt the market a bit.

Brkdncr ,

Subscription for fuel.

Brkdncr ,

The energy inside both can’t be reused. Both a gas tank and battery can be refilled.

Gas is just easier to transfer between containers. Electricity needs it be moved inside its container.

Brkdncr ,

I re-ground mine to 15 degrees and they cut great when sharp but require more upkeep.

They don’t talk to me and I hope to keep it that way.

Brkdncr ,

Everyone left. There’s nothing the state can offer to keep the most productive people. Most ended up going to California.

The ones that returned became educators.

Brkdncr ,

Government workers should have wages and benefits that go up when the economy goes up.

Brkdncr ,

Apple has always had a better PR team.
