Call his fucking bluff. The only way anything would close is if it isn’t profitable (enough). And if they can’t turn a profit, well then they need to be better at business! (/s).

The hardest part to believe is that he would wipe his own ass.

The big caveat is that the BIOS must allow it, and most released versions do not.

You should take the hint.

What is your use case? I ask because ESXi is free again, but it’s probably not a useful skill to learn these days. At least not as much as the competition.

Similarly, 2.5" mechanical drives only make sense for certain use cases. Otherwise I’d get SSDS or a 3.5" DAS.

They were named pent-ium because they were 586. Of course, the name lasted a lot longer than the technical reasons.

The Pentium Pro was i686.

You are helping - they clearly need the additional training, and you’re doing everything you can to supply that. Their job can’t be relying on you.

They shouldn’t (and almost certainly don’t) have delegation authority.

For corporate bingo, the keywords are upskill, cross-training, and bus factor.

Don’t show. Guide them to do it themselves. Never be the one to actually do it beyond the first time.

If they still refuse to learn, make them take notes. Make them read to you their notes from last time. Make them tell you what each step is and means.

Make asking you the hardest option for them to get what they want.

They all have to work (at least to an extent) using only x1. It’s part of the PCIe spec.

Missing pins are actually extremely common. If your board has a slot that’s x16 (electrically x8), which is very common for a second video card, take a closer look. Half the pins in the slot aren’t connected. It has the full slot to make you feel better about it, and it provides some mounting stability, but it’s electrically the same as an x8 that’s open.

USB the protocol, or just uses a USB cable? If it’s not using the protocol, the cables are a cheap way of getting cables of a certain spec.

This is exactly why, for many years, there was no percentage on the label. They were concerned that people would try to get it to 100%.

Fast forward a few decades, and it’s extremely rare to find Americans consuming that little sugar, so the concern was no longer valid.

Do you have any idea how many cups/mugs/plates/pans say this? Most of my dishes are not “dishwasher safe”. Only a couple have had any issues with it.

Similarly, look at how many of your clothes are incredibly delicate according to the tag. It’s erring on the side of extreme caution, and to provide a defense if it’s a piece of shit that falls apart.

What did those poor cables do to you to get the Liam Neeson treatment?

But can it spy on users for marketing purposes? That’s the real question.

Counter point: Lemmy has always been more toxic.

I’ve never seen a group (as a whole) that’s less capable of accepting that there are things they don’t know, or other viewpoints.

Unsurprisingly, fitness is always more complicated than it seems.

You are certainly correct that runners don’t burn (much) more calories than a couch potato. But weightlifters do, vs a couch potato of the same weight.

The thing about cardio is that the calories go directly into effort. The calories burned are roughly proportional to the effort (distance). But the moment you stop, the calories stop getting burned.

If you are doing weightlifting, the calories spent at the time to lift a heavy object are minimal. But it instructs your body to add muscle to better handle all the heavy lifting you do. Once you have that muscle, you burn a ton of calories 24 hours per day just keeping it alive. It becomes part of your base metabolic rate. It burns nearly the same calories whether you’re at the gym, or sitting on the couch. And it will continue to burn those calories until your body decides you no longer need that extra muscle mass and it atrophies.

Hipshipper, an international shipping platform used by eBay, Shopify and Amazon sellers, has exposed millions of shipping labels, revealing personal customer data.

Researchers believe that the data stored on the exposed bucket included buyers’ personal details, such as:

• Full names
• Home addresses
• Phone numbers
• Order details (dates of mailing, parcel information, etc.)

The text explicitly says the program is for the lieutenant governor’s office.

The question is, would the lieutenant governor of Texas’ office be involved in something like this? I’m certain they want to, but would they have the authority? It’s my understanding that international airports are exclusively under federal control, not state.

Your employer will not be there at Thanksgiving.

If you dedicate your life to work, neither will your family.

That one’s pretty obvious. From their main page:
