    I'm guessing you didn't read the whole thing.  You only saw the title and just decided to post based on that.

    On an unrelated note, Nebraska has passed LB77 which is our Constitutional Carry bill.  The plan is for it to be signed next week, and it will go into effect 90 days after the session ends (so mid-to-late September).

    I have zero trust that cameras won't be abused, or at least can't potentially be abused.  I believe this so much, that I make it a point to put a cover over the front facing camera of any cell phone I own and carry.  Not because I believe I am being watched, but because I know it can happen.  I was looking at cell phone replacements recently, and one explicitly touted a feature something the lines of "enhanced facial tracking".  That was enough for me not to want that model.  I don't need my phone to track anything.  If I'm taking a picture of it, I'll do it myself.
    I have two vehicles and both of them are from the 90's, and I'm fine with that.

    My vehicle is from 2000 and yeah, I have no intention of replacing it.

    One of my favourite parts of it is that it feels like you're in control, not the car. No annoying dings, beeps, or interference for doing anything. I don't need my car to ding 87 times if I don't have my door closed/seatbelt on while driving 3 mph in a parking lot... (to be clear I absolutely wear a seatbelt 100% of the time when driving on the road, I don't need an annoying chime to remind me)

    I own the damn car, let me fucking feel like it.

    We had one of these come into our store the other day.  We just stripped the drive out of the enclosure and accessed it directly.  We were then able to copy all the files to another drive and built him a basic USB enclosure, instead (his choice).

    Jito463 reacted to Donut417 in Alphabet's Wing delivery drone takes out suburbs power grid, 2358 electricity customers lose power.   
    Yeah but when they do, it can take a lot of find the issue and you have to dig to fix the issue, this is from Youtube videos from people who work for the utility btw. Even with aerial cables in my area, we rarely have issues. Also repairs have to be more involved as you need digging equipment, which you dont need for non underground utilities. Furthermore telecoms complicate the issue because when they have to burry cabling it can take months if not years to get them fuckers to come and do their job. I dont know how many posts I have seen about Comcast, having to be nagged day in and out for months for them to bury their coax. That can be further complicated if your wire has to pass thru your neighbors yard and your neighbor is a dick and keeps running over the cable with a lawn mower. 
     
    Its the same here. But it doest mean people dont dig at random. Even though they can call 811 to have the underground stuff flagged. But calling that number is too hard. The other issue is when there is a fault and you have to dig up someones yard, that person is not really going to be too happy.

    Jito463 reacted to StDragon in ASRock offering replacements for motherboards with sticky RAM slots   
    Ahh, the joys of material science! More than likely, there wasn't any testing performed to see how easily the stickers could be removed after being placed over the slots. Secondly, an increase in ambient temperature (different in climates depending on how and where they were shipped too) could have changed the adhesive material to "run" and then harden. Basically a change in material chemistry.

    An automated object operating in an empty shaft with nothing else occupying it--and doors preventing random incursions into the shaft by random humans or other things.  Yeah, totally the same as an automated vehicle operating amongst human traffic in an open system.

    It is true that production was scaled back during the pandemic,  but what has stopped it form being scaled back up again?   Nothing except the pipeline and drilling policy.  So the question becomes how much effect did those things have and if it wasn't much then why hasn't production been scaled back up again?

    I've had to clear the 'SoftwareDistribution' directory several times in the past on customer's machines.  I've never once had it cause an issue with bricking or locking up anything.  Typically, I just remove the entire directory instead of parts of it.  That simply clears the pending Windows Updates cache and then forces Windows to redownload everything.
     
    *EDIT*
    Forgot to mention, make sure you pause the Windows Updates service.

    3 years is not so long, and I also saw stories from 2020 and 2021, I just chose to go with one of the earlier ones.  But I do get your point, your mind is made up and nothing I say will every change it.
    You are the one who first brought up America (in an insulting and disparaging way, might I add).  I was appending to that conversation.
    No, but it would have helped increase the flow of oil, which would have served to at least help keep gas prices in check, which in turn would have an effect on the rest of the economy.  You also ignored where I mentioned him killing any future leases for oil drilling in the States.  Both of those combined would have generated a lot of much needed oil in the world.
    The oil reserves release was a political stunt.  The oil he's releasing doesn't even come close to covering the US daily oil consumption, much less any other parts of the world.
    You know what would be more reliable?  Nuclear.  We would still need oil (for gas, and other derivatives), but I'd be fine with moving from coal to nuclear for most of our power generation.
    Forever?  That's a very long time.  However, we do keep finding more and more oil that we can drill for; and oil refinement keeps getting better and better, so we're getting more out of each barrel of crude that's extracted.  And I would note that you completely glossed over where wind turbines are reliant on oil to operate (one article mentioned 80 gallons per year, per turbine).
     
    Anyway, I think this conversation has just about run its course.  Also, it's 1:30 in the morning, and I have to get up for work in about 6 hours.

    I never said it was, but it has happened nevertheless.  As far back as 2019 this was being reported, maybe even earlier than that.

    Norway couldn't do any of that if the US wasn't basically funding their defense (and many other countries) through NATO.  Let them fund their own defense for a while, see how much money gets diverted to pet projects.
    First off, resorting to insults this early is a sign that you have no ground to stand upon, and you know it.  Also, California has nearly gone bankrupt numerous times.  They're definitely not "one of the better states".
    Please, enlighten me.
    I'm sadly all to aware of the issue.  Our gas prices have more than doubled in the past 1 1/2 years, because our sitting Former Vice President killed oil production on his first day in office, both the XL pipeline and any future leases for oil production here in the States.
    So-called "renewable energy" is far from reliable.  And even if you can make solar and wind power 100% reliable, there's still the issue of the materials needed to make the solar panels and the wind turbines, not to mention how much oil is needed to run those wind turbines so the motors don't seize up.  We're not getting away from oil anytime soon.  Drilling here for oil would be producing locally.
    Well, like I said, just look at our sitting Former Vice President.
