This is definitely a thing.

Big penises being more manly or making you a better lover. I’m sure wars have been started by men who were upset with their dick size and would do anything to make up for it.

Ditto. One of the biggest gripes I have with my servers is the fat UPS I have to keep next to them.

Or extortion. He makes a stink, they make some campaign donations, and he backs off or gives them a slap on the wrist.

Of course it is, because nobody is willing to try and quantify or qualify the harms that seeing pornography has on a young person. It’s just “adult content” so we’ll go so far as to put VR headsets on everyone and ask them to verify their age or else they get a PG, low-polygon representation of reality!

Not the answer OP expected but the correct one. Doing strictly nonwork things at work can get you noticed in a bad way. I’ve had good and bad IT jobs and it’s really amazing how a bad job can drive bad behaviors and a good job do the opposite.

Don’t know if it’s planned obsolescence or just laziness but all of my Nintendo Switches have at least a little drift and I’ve bought at least two replacement sets of joy-cons AND replaced just the joystick on one unit (PITA and replacements didn’t work 100% so I stopped repairing).

I’ve been successful in replacing built-in batteries in 2 different phones. Granted my families phones are all > 4 years old so maybe it’s gotten much harder lately.

Agree. My jeans have been wearing out at the knees within a couple years and I’m middle-aged so I’m NEVER on my knees for more than a few seconds. Apparently they’re averse to bending. 🤨

Can’t find it but I was almost positive there was a trailer for 9 set to this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQRh_koli9E

TUIs FTW!

Pretty sure PWAs can run in the background.

ICE recently lured someone out of their house by claiming to be a construction worker (dressed up I’m guessing) that hit a parked car. 😮‍💨

Clearly an emoticon/emoji of Iron Man’s chest.

I think a lot of these guides could use more in-depth companion guides to go along with it. Changing your email provider for one is not a simple thing and there are concerns like loss of functionality (Gmail is a good product run by a shit company) and also how to make the process less overwhelming. Some services will give you the option to migrate all your emails from Gmail but maybe you want to start fresh, etc. Then there’s going to all of your providers and updating your contact email. Again, not as simple as signing up for another service.

I mean, yeah, this is the system working as intended: corporations chasing profits and feeling no regrets about burning bridges in the process.

So AI slop doesn’t get generated, just imagine the visual of the Egyptologist from The Mummy holding a GPU, saying, “What have we done?”, while covered in dickflies.

Works wonderfully if you’re profit. The free markets love you and will do anything for you.

Oh, you’re a people? Have you heard of our Lord and Savior profit? If you’re not helping profit then you must be hurting it, therefore hurting the market. We don’t take kindly to the likes of you.

Sometime that code will expire and you need to alternate to sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda bs=4M. Works most of the time for me.

OHHHHHH, so when kids toys are talking nasty it’s the PARENTS that need to be on alert, but not so much when THE PARENTS hand their kids unrestricted and unmonitored smartphones to seek out adult material on explicitly labeled adult websites! 🖕🤬🖕
