Oh, we need to raise our prices because of inflation and then inflation goes down but the prices don’t.

I mean, this is literally how inflation works. Inflation rates go down, but things don’t magically become cheaper again. It just doesn’t get more expensive as quickly. If they raise prices over what you’re willing to pay, then don’t buy it. That’s how prices drop.

Is it bullshit? Absolutely, no argument there. That’s just how things work unfortunately.

Just chiming in to let you know I’m rooting for you and hoping the last 11 days are going well for you.

Yeah this is where I’m at too. I’d definitely be willing to pay for some swag to get sent to other community members who otherwise may not be able to afford it, but I also would like it to be anonymous.

This bootlicking bullshit is really tiring.

Yeah, this is pretty much what we’re saying.

I don’t agree with Texas about much at all, but a good brisket just needs salt, pepper, smoke, a low cooking temp and patience.

What’s American rail?

Our side of town has zero rail, and it would take about two hours on a bus to get home from downtown, 7 miles away. Oh, and the Amtrak train 7 miles away shows up once a day at 2am. And I could probably hitchhike to where I’m going faster than that shit train would get me there.

I don’t know if this is relevant, but I deal a lot with MS support in my role at work. There is some built in AI that you need to go through in order to open a support case, and it’s about 85% useless, and also has a caveat at the end that says “AI provided information may be incorrect”. However, there are cases where it’s useful, and I don’t have to deal with a human who copies and pastes a novel in their email to tell me they’re working on it.

Ive had cancellations processed after product upgrades and it went through in less than a day, and I didn’t have to read 5 paragraphs of bullshit canned script from a human. So it’s not all bad, I guess.

That’s the extent to which I use AI for work. I can’t imagine another use case where I wouldn’t have to double check everything, and if I have to do that, I may as well just do it myeself.

I find this funny because this

My main concern is that this tech is not 100% accurate. I feel like it shouldn’t be used on its own.

Is generally the least of their concerns.

$ASTS

Knowing the absolute cabbages walking around that place, it’s probably a WiFi pineapple that will accept any password and is just intercepting all of the traffic.

So my PC will run W11 without a problem, but fuck that bloated mess. I have to use it on my work laptop and the number of times I’ve wanted to take a sledgehammer to it is innumerable.

I’ve settled on Bazzite because 90% of the time I’m playing steam games, but I’m having trouble understanding what (if anything) I need to do with my photos and music to migrate those over.

Also, I have 3 SSDs- 1 M.2 nvme for the OS, and 2 others for storage. After I back up my files to an external drive… and that’s where my knowledge of the process ends.

Anyone happen to know of any resources that can get me from the 1st grade understanding of Linux that I currently have to where I need to be to successfully migrate my PC?

The young lady with the uzi…Is she single?

In getting crushed psychologically right now. My wife is battling leukemia and now my puppy has a broken leg.

I seriously don’t know what to do next. I’m literally getting fucking destroyed here.

I’m a dinosaur, I run out of DDG browser. Not ideal, but it works for me so i don’t care.

ETA: it’s beehaw, it’s chill.

That HMS article is wild. As someone with moderate hearing loss and raging tinnitus, this would be a dream come true if it ever happens.

I feel like as long as the banned speech is extremely specifically defined, I don’t care if they look like martyrs. “The holocaust never happened” is easily defined as holocaust denial, and it’s easy to enforce.

The problems arrive when a law is passed with an ambiguous, poorly defined meaning like “hate speech”. Hate speech can really mean anything someone else doesn’t like.

There’s about a zero percent chance that 5 year old console components cost more today than they did 5 years ago.

Things like that don’t get more expensive, they get cheaper as new tech develops.

Many will consider this a cost-cutting step too far, but the interior was designed for ease of upgrading, with easy mounting space for anything from a simple soundbar to a full sound system.

This isn’t for everyone, but if it’s easily accessible, I’d have no problem installing a basic CarPlay head unit and speakers in an afternoon.

Oh, he knows he’s completely full of shit. If you keep that in mind, his attitude makes perfect sense. Make up whatever bullshit he can to fake a justification to enrich his wealthy daddies.
