Fuck spez

Pixels have had this for several years. I think even my Nexus did.

Apparently this was a failed attempt at a joke.

I was thinking it had more to do with the use of the 900MHz band which has advantages in the penetration of certain materials compared to higher frequencies but I’m not an expert.

Cellular signals have a hard time penetrating dense concrete buildings and underground structures. That’s why doctors still use them, even in the States.

About the worthless UberEats voucher? Nah.

About the worthless kernel-level code and non-existent QA costing customers serious hours of labor? Now we’re talking. Where do I sign?

That’s okay, at a certain age it becomes irrelevant information anyway.

While I fully support the spirit of this idea, the problem here has little to do with a lack of storage redundancy and everything to do with the bandwidth limitations of a nonprofit company vs a malicious nation state that would seek to deny access to this sort of resource. Basically, given enough bandwidth, you either become resilient to most of these attacks or you become capable of performing them yourself on anyone with a slower connection than you.

I think the Internet Archive would be better served by direct donations, although I’d also love to see a complete torrent posted that gets updated regularly for anyone with the storage and bandwidth necessary to grab and then re-seed it. The web content alone is nearly a trillion pages, though, so that’s not going to be a long list of volunteers.

You’re also likely to repeatedly trip whatever breaker that outlet is connected to unless it’s a big one like you’d have for a central AC unit, but then you’d likely also know enough to have a proper transfer switch.

Bought one used several years ago for $75 and it’s still on the used starter toner.

Finally I can take dick pics without optical zoom.

It’s brutal… if you think like a human.

Right, as in something other than the result of careful research and development. She’s just older and doesn’t have the slightest idea how anything works, habitually trying three different appliances to warm up her coffee when the power goes out before realizing they all need electricity, so it’s all just magic and mystery.

Then again, it’s people like us who say things like “computers are just rocks we tricked into thinking by putting lightning inside of them” so I don’t not get it.

My boss called me immediately to tell me about that one because he knew I’d laugh my ass off.

Everyone? You sure? Just off the top of my head, I’ve witnessed:

1. A fellow millennial recently calling his tower “the modem”.

2. A user who thinks a computer experiencing a “crash”, as in the unexpected termination of a process, means everything on the hard drive was just lost.

3. A teacher who swears their fiber optic internet connection always slows down when it rains.

4. A family member who thinks cell phones are actually miraculous.

5. An IT director who decided to save time while rewiring an entire school district’s network by forgoing patch panels completely, terminating hundreds of CAT-6 cables (which he first laid directly on top of the drop ceiling grid) with RJ45 connectors plugged straight into switches, labeling each with masking tape.

6. A police officer who called his chief and supervisor over to his desk in order to explain that he discovered a massive vulnerability on the agency website, demonstrating the risk by showing them how he was able to change some text with the browser’s element inspector.

7. A software developer who only used Internet Explorer (years ago when Chrome was still arguably the best option) because “Google tracks you”. He was later sentenced to decades in federal prison for organizing the production of CSAM on the surface web, not the darknet, mostly over Craigslist.
