scops

I’ve seen most of them already, but I’m currently bouncing between Person of Interest and iZombie for this vibe

Imagine paying for ads…

This is one of those headlines for a problem I had no idea existed

I thought for sure that I wasn’t going to be able to use Citrix Workplace with the Cisco WebEx VDI plug-in to connect to work and take meetings, but I loaded up an Ubuntu distro box and it’s worked a treat after a reasonable amount of research and fiddling.

Very happy with my Bazzite experience so far.

FSD (and stock Autopilot, for that matter) are systems you engage while driving, similar to Cruise Control. I feel like the capabilities are different enough that the average driver wouldn’t get too used to FSD over a couple week period.

For me as someone who drives a decent amount of country backroads, I’m wondering whether the stock Autopilot obeys stop signs. I know it didn’t when I first got the car, and I wasn’t in a hurry to test if they added the functionality. I could see maybe someone renting a Tesla with FSD, getting used to it, then not realizing that the next Tesla they rented without FSD was going to blow through a stop sign.

Tesla has also been doing this for years. My 2019 Model 3 has an upgrade option for the acceleration. It’s a one time payment, but Tesla’s no stranger to the subscription model. They offer monthly fees for the upgraded “self-driving” package and occasionally give me a free trial period to try it out. I’ve had enough phantom braking incidents with the stock version that I’ll never use it.

ETA: Also, any upgrades I get for my car will not transfer if I sell it. I’m guessing that’s a big incentive for Volkswagen and the like to jump on board for this shitty practice.

I listened to an audiobook with a main character who had that name (The Rook by Daniel O’Malley) and the narrator pronounced it in a way that rhymed with Tiffany

Would it be feasible to bring your own bags? I picked up a cheap 10 pack of fabric bags and they are sturdy enough I can usually fit a week’s worth of groceries in two or three of them

I know it was a common symptom of the Delta variant in late 21/22. That’s what I caught and it felt like I was gargling broken glass

Elon Musk will go to any length to scrub this image from the Internet:

Uh huh. What’s the D/s version of “Sappho and her friend”?

No, don’t use the sexy meme template for this change. It’s just a dumb dick measuring move. It doesn’t deserve that honor.

It’s a far cry from this guy’s situation, but I think I had five or six bitcoin back when I was mining in the early days. I cashed out when they were maybe $40-50 each towards a new GPU.

Sure, I could go nuts thinking about what I would do with the money now, but if I hadn’t sold at that rate, I probably would have sold at $100, or $200, or…

There’s no way in hell I would have had the discipline to “hodl” to this point, so I just get on with my life.

NC is way more purple than you realize. The GOP has just gotten away with too much gerrymandering and voter suppression to show it in our politics.

And Garner is in Wake County, one of the bluest in the state. If it will happen anywhere in the state, this is probably the best bet.

One of the many, many different forms of voter suppression. Done your time? Somehow become rehabilitated in our awful prison system? Fuck it, you’re still a voiceless space-taking non-citizen until you die

If anyone else read this headline and thought about how busy the ACLU is going to be this term, here is the page where you can provide financial support.

I’m sure the Dems will get around to round 3 after the midterms, but unless there’s a staggeringly large blue wave, it’s not going to go anywhere that time either.

We’re a large financial institution who got dinged to hell in a recent regulatory audit. The pace of change around here could aptly be described as glacial. It was a big culture shock coming here from an MSP after years of Small/Medium Biz roles.

An LGBT person might decide that’s an acceptable risk if it allows them the chance to deter or prevent violence against them from the increased number of empowered bigots walking around in Trump’s America

Sigh. I’m on the team that manages the phone and IM platform for my organization. We are on Cisco Jabber which is admittedly super outdated at this point. Around covid times, we got a new hot-shit CEO who replaced most of our upper management. The new CTO looked at our mature and relatively painless Cisco environment, heard our pleas to let us upgrade to WebEx Teams (Cisco’s replacement for Jabber) and said, “Nope. I had MS Teams at my last job, and I want that here.”

Roll forward five years and the CEO is long since kicked out, the CTO just left, and we’re right around the corner of our AD/Exchange team FINALLY moving us to M365 and giving us access to the tenant so we can START learning what this monster is going to take to manage.

Fucking C-suites…

I hope you’re not referring to this fight between Keith David and Roddy Piper. First, Keith David’s never been a wrestler, and second, it’s a hilariously awkward, unnecessary, and drawn out fight that deserves love, not scorn.

Was there some other fight with a pro wrestler in the movie that I forgot about? It’s been a while since I saw it and didn’t see any wrestlers I recognized in the main cast.
