No, it’s a sad tale that would be amusing if it wasn’t real people, and has occupied a lot of brain time at 4chan and among gamergate-involved persons. If you want to know more, knowyourmeme has a reasonably objective article.

My understanding is the drama from resulted in him leaving before BL3 was written

I wish I could upvote more than once. This is absolutely brilliant

Randy’s twitter poll was stupid. He should have asked “if BL3 is exclusive, will you buy it on that platform?” With the options

• Yes, if it’s steam
• Yes, if it’s Epic
• No
• STFU Randy, your breath smells like farts

The writing in two was really good. I didn’t and still don’t care who got the writer’s WiiU, I just cared that the story was fun.

Phil Fish struck me as someone who needed to huff either his own farts or copium to get through the day. I hope he’s doing ok now.

Same in ours.

Myself and another guy went to a tech junket that was by invite only and they gave away a laptop to one person from each company who attended. My boss tried to take the laptop from the other guy saying “that was a gift and you need to turn it over to me”

I’d already cleared it with our corporate conflict of interest ombudsman - if I’d accepted it, it would have been an issue because I had purchasing authority, but other guy was “just” a tech who couldn’t sign off on anything or even make recommendations to anyone other than me, we didn’t have an existing business relationship with the vendor, and we’re not obligated to conduct any business with them as a result of the gift.

I told my boss to take it up with head-of-department (whom I’d copied in on the ombudsman comms.)

Other guy kept the laptop, and boss got ‘audited’ for gifts received (they pulled his emails) and was demoted into a position he wasn’t able to handle (more technical than he was capable of, but on paper should have been able to do) and pushed out of the company soon thereafter.

And this is why it’s important to have good open source drivers available. There’s not a single thing wrong with my p620, which presently works very well as my transcoding device in my Plex system, and I anticipate it lasting another 5+ years at this point.

Can’t decide if, good - because equality, bad - because military, or scary - because rising military tensions.

I have mice active in my house and haven’t found poop yet, only realized last week when I found a piece of leftover food that was nibbled down on the edges. These ones are sneaky.

I never accept the terms. If people ask why I’m not talking I write “I can’t accept the AI conditions” in the meeting chat.

I work for a company that must remain gdpr compliant, and when joining (ms teams) meetings you can’t unmute your mic or share content without agreeing to a massive AI waiver.

Ontario, Canada, iirc the average 24hr rate on time of day use is 12¢/kWh…in CA cents.

Charge at night and I think you can get to a little under 9¢

I wonder if the archive.org cases had any bearing on the decision.

When did WhatsApp start allowing signups without a phone number?

Are you talking about the rusty iron texture plate?

Are you one of those 4-cones people?

George C. Boldt went from rags to millionaire when millionaire meant something. He was able to outright buy a competing hotel to the one he already owned less than 20 years after coming to America as a dish washer. This was in the late 1800s, before income tax and massive corporations.

In fact, it’s believed by many that Boldt’s story inspired F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Jay Gatsby.

Andrew Carnegie is another notable immigrant who went from near-naught to millionaire.

Or if we’re allowed to include Americans, John D. Rockefeller, and Henry Ford

As corporations grew and income tax was introduced, it became nearly impossible for someone working a menial job to put enough money away to ‘rise up’ and join the ranks of the elite. The most recent examples people cite, like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, etc. came from wealth already.

Now, do you want to continue this discussion? If so, I kindly ask you stick to actual facts, and stop trying to insult me and/or inferring I wrote things that I didn’t.

The EdgeRouter X is a great piece of kit, but also getting harder to acquire, and it’s unclear what Ubiquiti’s roadmap is for support. I installed one in my in-laws about 4 years ago, and my brother’s house about 5 years ago. Both trucking along strong. My in-laws use a TPLink omada 245 AP in standalone mode. My brother has 2, a 225 and a 245, plus a controller so that AP roaming and band steering work.

I also have a pair of omada APs, one at each end of the house, but for a router I use a HP ProDesk 600G1 DM, modified to handle an extra Ethernet jack via the m.2 e-key slot. It runs Opnsense, but I did also run Sophos XG on it for about a year.

Both are good but I’m a tinkerer so I switched to Opnsense

The American dream was made impossible with the introduction of income tax, although the granting ‘personhood’ to corporations was a contributing factor too.

Mint offers 32bit support, unless you’ve got a really old cpu.
