And Linux nerds.

Disney characters are proboscis monkeys:

This. Your mail isn’t going to be opened by the CEO. Hurt the business, not the worker. Mail them a box of rocks or something, the company will pay postage on it and the minimum wage guy opening packages will laugh.

I see !dadjokes@lemmy.world is leaking again.

The monk pays with a twenty, which the vendor pockets.

“Where’s my change?”

“Change comes from within.”

I do, because between every online service being hammered by scrapers training AI and every online service being stuffed full of AI slop, it’s ruining the internet.

Punching up isn’t bullying.

I’ve heard that’s a thing - people spend the morning in church being told that they’re better than everyone else and then they carry that attitude with them when they go out to eat after church. It takes them a few hours to sober up and remember how to human.

My BYD has a decent mix. It has a volume knob on the steering wheel which you can press to mute, and a previous/next button.

If you want to mess with your playlist though, you use the touchscreen. You’re not supposed to do that sort of thing while driving.

Bonus points if they complained about all the foreigners (French people) in Paris.

Okay, but running a huge online service on the internet means massive cyberattacks happen on days that end with a Y.

He pulled the plug on equipment and fired people who were supposed to handle the problem, didn’t he.

Fucking called it

Only some Pixel 4a phones are affected, apparently.

You know… the stuff they’re doing to some Pixel 4as - reducing charging speed, limiting charge level, etc - those are the same things EV manufacturers do when they’ve got known faulty batteries catching fire and are trying to work around the issue with software.

Doing it to certain devices which you can look up by IMEI, that sounds a lot like something you’d do if you had a certain batch of batteries catching fire and knew which devices had those batteries.

More than a year after end of life, Google suddenly decides “stability of battery performance” is such a big issue that they’re going to pay compensation to people? That isn’t suspicious at all.

But then you can’t inflate the numbers by putting a 3.7 volt battery in a power bank, listing the capacity in amp-hours and implying that you get that many amp-hours at the power bank’s 5V output voltage.

We’ve all had Kerbal Space Program missions that went like that.

No, I mean that if lots of developers are using Denuvo wrong, it’s Denuvo’s fault for being too difficult to use correctly or not providing enough support to developers.

Even if it’s the developers using it wrong, if lots of developers are doing that then it’s a fault with Denuvo.

If one car hits something, it’s a problem with that car. If lots of cars keep hitting something, it’s a problem with the road.

Okay, but if lots of games are doing it wrong, it’s still Denuvo’s fault.

IIRC there is actually some benefit to having a low gear and a high gear, because the electric motor works at any speed but can’t give the best power output if it’s too slow or too fast.

I remember hearing during lockdown that sales of business pants had tanked, but sales of business shirts hadn’t.

It was originally one computer that everyone connected to, it wasn’t a fleet of separate computers like Windows PCs.
