Yeah but on the other hand, if they are pardoned then the 5th doesn’t apply to them and they can face charges for not answering questions.

He wasn’t even supposed to be there that day.

If you’re looking for something to read and haven’t read it yet, try Douglas Addams The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. It’s public domain, so getting it for free isn’t even piracy (hell, if you wanted to, you could even print and sell your own copies).

It’s not even close to Harry Potter, more of a sci fi comedy, but you won’t regret reading it. When I finally got around to reading it, I couldn’t put it down after I started, and this was well into the time where I was mostly playing video games instead of reading anything. Iirc, I read the first two in that first sitting, went to sleep, then read the rest the next day.

Hate to break it to you, but you can absolutely lose memories. Time is a bitch.

Then you hear about a lawsuit against redfarm for false advertising because the marketers didn’t verify with the food engineers before adding that and they source their silica filler from an asbestos plant down the street.

Those are the most accurate part of the comic.

I’ll cross that bridge when I get there. YouTube is already near the bottom of my list for source of information and I already have more sources of entertainment than I have time, so if they manage to win their war on ad blockers, I have no problem never visiting the site again.

And you can decide the thing you want isn’t worth the cost.

It might be saving some portion of young women from ending up in a toxic relationship with someone with the emotional intelligence of a noodle.

Though imagine the rage of these guys realized how many of them are “dating” the same model. Other guys probably even figured out how to prompt them better.

That whole submarine pedo thing told me he was the type of boss that made unrealistic demands and raged at anyone that pushed back. It was no surprise to later learn that his companies have people whose whole job is to deflect him when he’s there so he doesn’t get in the way of the engineering.

His whole “yell at advertisers to get them to give him money” was another sign of that. He’s used to yes men placating him and flew off the handle when he didn’t have power to dictate how others acted, even if they just went back to what they were doing prior the moment he left the room.

Oh boy, you’ll want to swallow any food or drink currently in your mouth before reading this next part.

I wish sandboxing was standard at this point. Things would be a lot more secure if you had to explicitly set up apps to share data or access specific files. I bet if it was standardized well, it wouldn’t even be a pain to handle like permissions can sometimes be. On windows, my pains were more around how the hell do I give/get access to these files than being upset at the need to do so in the first place.

20 years ago me would have hated it, but 20 years ago me was kinda dumb about many things including “if a big company produced this, the only thing I need to worry about is bugs because they wouldn’t betray a customer’s trust!”

They are posted about often enough. Though I guess a lot of them are litterally caused by the first world.

Though going by “first world problem” meaning “problem that would be trivial if you had real problems”, some of the mod/admin drama is relevant, as it’s about censorship and what is or isn’t allowed at a community or instance level rather than individual.

Edit: Not really arguing against your point here btw, just discussing, as I’d grant the point overall 🙂

Out of all the communities where I’ve seen people complain about how well posts fit the theme, this one (along with the reddit version) confused me the most. Random thoughts aren’t random enough? What?

It feels like first world problems: extreme edition.

But I usually browse by all, so maybe I’m missing something fundamental.

Wait until you hear about the other interpretation of it!

Anyone have any idea how to troubleshoot my motherboard’s HD Audio device just not showing up at all in my hardware devices? I’ve made sure it’s enabled in UEFI settings but it just appears to not even be enumerated by the hardware scan.

My previous mobo’s HD Audio also didn’t show up at first, but that one fixed itself by the time I came around to troubleshoot it (maybe an update?). Had to replace that mobo because of hardware damage, but I didn’t bother reinstalling the OS as I didn’t think it was necessary.

Other then hoping the next round of updates resolves this, I’m out of ideas.

It really depends on your devices and what you want to do with them.

What I’ve noticed so far is that the generic drivers on Linux seem to cover more functionality (eg, my mouse didn’t show battery status on windows without the proprietary drivers but it shows up in Linux), but if it’s not covered by that, then odds are support will be more limited or none on Linux unless it’s commonly owned.

Though depending on what kind of data your devices are dealing with, it might not be that bad to get it working. Like audio data is just a time series of amplitudes (though codecs can complicate that if you’re dealing with some digital format), input devices are usually some combination of button press events and axis updates (and controller vibrate is pretty much just a lower bitrate audio signal). Video can be more complicated, but there’s likely software that can understand whatever stream of data it gives off. But this all depends on patience and skill, and if you were the type to gravitate to something like that, you probably would have already switched.

I meant like births, as in even if you can enumerate every single individual, statistics can apply to future members that don’t yet exist.

And yeah, it’s been a while and I remembered that the proof didn’t depend on the population size but forgot that it assumed a large population size in the first place. I was wrong.

Wow, the AI models have really improved! If I hadn’t seen the original, the only thing that would have given it away is the unusually long wing on the flag that isn’t the crying stars and stripes.

First one works better. Second one sets off my fake detector but the first one goes under the radar.
