So you’d also get screwed if you routinely are parked somewhere without any cellular access? Nice design.

I agree, though my biggest headache has been with systemd handling mounts. You have to modify a ton of units to add After and Required to make sure the NFS shares you have in fstab get mounted before starting services that depend on them. And then if the package maintainer updates their unit files, all your changes disappear!

Such a huge headache compared to the classic init.d that mounted everything very early – with just the occasional “boot delayed a couple seconds because your share was offline” or such.

Cool, a new way to smuggle viruses into corporate environments. Everyone makes sure to disable USB sticks, but you can apparently do similar stuff via HDMI or DP?

I’ve driven a poorly designed car without many safety features for years, and I’ve never flown through the windshield, ever.

Don’t worry, it’ll only put a dent in everyone’s index/retirement/etc accounts, everyone other than him and his friends will be holding the bag.

Yay for gender-affirming care!

time your transit from point A to point B, calculate your minimum average speed to make the trip in that time, and mail you a citation when you’re over the posted speed limit?

Norway does this.

What exactly is a stick pen? An image search shows one of those pens with a removable cap?

I’ve tried those before, but the caps always end up disappearing on me, and it felt quite “cheap” quality (BIC Cristal for example)… but maybe there’s some better brands?

What is there to review? There’s an entire team with VAR who already decided that dismissal was proportional to the misconduct. That’s how it works.

And if you haven’t already realized it, FIFA only cares about money, so of course they did this, so the event is more “exciting” for the advertisers. It’s pure corruption.

Only nerds want idempotent build results, it’s so fun debugging slop…

Not surprised, he’s the kind of guy who blows his paycheck on several automatic boxes of fireworks and lights them all at once. “It’s going to be huge!” but you can’t see much and it’s over after a couple of minutes.

In what way would the EULA/contract be illegal/invalid? The US has a pretty broad freedom of contract. No one has forced you to buy that licensed computer program. You don’t need it to survive. You’re not discriminated against by not being allowed to buy the software instead of a license.

Understand I’m playing devil’s advocate here. I agree that such contracts are morally corrupt, but I’m not aware of anything that’d make them illegal. Only by being truthful regarding the current laws is how we can make change.

I agree, but that’s not how I’d imagine the courts would see it? If the EULA says that you don’t own the computer program, you’re just paying for a license to use it, then you’re not really “the owner of a copy of a computer program”…

You’re forgetting the 12% exception, but they’d probably need an even larger amount than that.
