A lot of the actual, serious ones that knew what they were doing got caught. Some went to lulsec to be jerks with no agenda and were caught by the Feds. All that was left were script kiddies that downloaded the Low Orbit Ion Cannon and used scripts they find online. Then they left or were overtaken by alt right idiots.
The original Anonymous are in their 30s and 40s by now. Everyone ages out.
It’s probably more sanitary in Japan, but in the US I could see the guy sitting in the both next to me sneezing directly into the water, licking his chopsticks before attempting (and missing) some noodles. Then giving up and using his hands, that he didn’t wash after coming back from the toilet.
Kind of like buffets.
I just want to ride on my motorcycle
I really enjoyed the first one, so I’m looking forward to this as well. They made a pretty good historical have that was also entertaining, and felt much more realistic than something like Skyrim without being too hardcore.
Yes, but I would also say that an entire generation isn’t responsible for everything. It’s usually a few very powerful people in that generation that get an the influence.
Walmart.com didn’t work for me on FF for about a week, and it did work on edge and chrome (still broken on FF when I disabled all my add ons). However, they fixed it and it works now. I think it was just a problem with the build of the website, and wasn’t intentional because it definitely works now.
I think that’s what’s more likely - temp problems that could affect any browser until their web dev fixes it. Not anything malicious like intentionally blocking a browser.
And then, it’s just Walmart. It’s nothing that really mattered.
To add to that, I very much doubt any big company tests and verifies anything anymore.
Boeing ships planes with missing bolts and proper software, Crowdstrike pushes updates with no testing, we’ve all seen Microsoft push updates that break stuff because there’s no testing, and that’s just what comes to mind.
That’s how they maximize profits - get rid of testing environments, do minimal checks, and have the one guy doing 3 jobs at once just push it to production.
I’ve been in IT for the banking industry for over a decade and I promise you, we’re all a missed cup of coffee or a comma away from another massive outage due to a program or network misconfig.
As long as business culture is set to maximize profits for one quarter, I wouldn’t trust a sales website about “verification” or “disaster recovery backups” any more than I trust a used car salesman.
That goes for Crowdstrike, but also all of their competitors.
In the off chance I only exist to argue with you on the Internet, I feel like it’s my duty to say you’re wrong and have nothing to back up my viewpoint because the resources weren’t allotted to have any supported data.
I hope I exist tomorrow.
I don’t know why they’d go for this. They already write the laws that Congress approved, and it costs far less than a billion. Heck, you can buy a congressman that’ll sway the others for as low as 20k.
It died in my area when they dropped the amount of spawn nodes to the point where you couldn’t really walk around. You had to drive pretty far at that point, and that kill let most people’s enthusiasm.
I don’t know if it was complaints by local businesses or what, but after that I never saw large groups walking around again.
Try using a non-alcohol-based lotion. If you can’t find one, I’ve had good success with Eucerin. I put lotion on my face and scalp right after my shower, and don’t have any itchiness or flakes.
I couldn’t find a shampoo that fixed anything for me.
If you have it on your elbows or knees (very common), you can try Aquaphor at night. That is pretty sticky, but keeps your skin calm and moist.
A dermatologist can give you some prescription lotion/cream, as well. That also works, but it’s typically a small tube and expensive.
Direct x is definitely a problem, and it doesn’t help that Final Fantasy 14 is a poorly coded game, as I’ve never had problems prior to that. And I’m running Windows 10. I used to run Linux years ago, but couldn’t use Netflix on it. Now that they’re crap and jellyfin is a better choice overall, I might have to try switching back. I’d greatly prefer to use all AMD, but we’ll see. I think the upcoming W11 upgrade-or-die ultimatum in October 2025 will force lazy people like myself to spend the time to switch or rebuy. My work environment that I support is Windows/Cisco/Fortinet, so it’s easier to come home and do the same rather than learn how to install/configure/support Linux versions of the same thing. But who knows what the next year will bring.
I felt the same way until I had a ROG strix RX-2700xt. I started getting fatal directx errors playing FFXIV all the time. It was an allocation problem and there was no driver version I could try that fixed it. I started trying to learn to custom-patch a driver, gave up, and bought an Nvidia card which I hated to do. Fixed the problem. Turns out the drivers for that specific card suck in general.
I still prefer AMD, but I’m wary of card manufacturers. Their drivers can be awful. In this case though, the default drivers didn’t work either. And you generally won’t know the word on the street until well after the cards aren’t higher end.
Anecdotal for sure, but it took a year of fighting on and off to fix and I don’t want that when I’m trying to relax.
Your 20 year old car hasn’t been getting regular software and hardware updates from the manufacturer, though. United has.
At the beginning of the revolutionary war, militias, minutemen, and even the Continental army relied on soldiers to bring their own weapons from home. They would never have held off British troops long enough to have a revolution at all otherwise. This was an 8 year war, and only after 1776 did they begin to supply the Continental army with arms from France on the regular. Spain as well.
It was absolutely their intention to have regular citizens armed. With nuclear weapons? No. Be serious. With small arms able to be used by one person. To my knowledge, private citizens didn’t have access to cannons at a reliable quantity to count on them in battle.
This is what our flawed founding fathers experienced first hand and amended the Constitution with.
That will never fly as a “middle ground” because the second amendment was never written as a hunter’s law. It’s a Revolutionary, shooting-at-people law that didn’t take into account advances in technology because they didn’t matter.
What they had different were people upset with a government across the ocean and soldiers in their homes, and the only people upset with the colonists were slaves that weren’t allowed guns, education, or freedom. So that made the problem we face way less likely.
Any middle ground like you suggest would take a constitutional amendment and mass adoption, and the ones with the guns that aren’t likely to shoot up the place (Jan 6th excluded) are not keen on either.
Even if it’s only one life saved, that’s great. But can’t we want to fix the systemic problems that lead to gun violence as well? It also fixes a lot of other bad things that don’t lead to gun violence, like homelessness, depression, preventable deaths, inadequate health care, etc.
What I’m saying is that guns aren’t the problem. They make the problem worse. I’d like to see us try to fix both instead of a half measure of different gun laws.
I have a great business idea - sell a roku-like device for half the price and a .99 cent subscription fee. Then when I’ve captured the market I force them to accept draconian new terms that cost way more or I brick the device. By then it’s too late and I can suck all the money out of it from the people that can’t switch.
And if they don’t like it? Too bad; they signed away their rights to sue.
It’s a foolproof plan! As long as I don’t get shot in the street but justifiably angry customers.
Oops, I corrected it. I must’ve been confusing the name with Michael Dorn.
That’s a really innovative idea, and solves a lot of transportation problems since phonographs were usually stationary in a house.
However, the size doesn’t fix the problem of carrying around 10" disks to play on it, so the setup is only as compact as its components. Still better than carrying around a cabinet, though!
