Eric Kripke: We need a cutaway kissing scene. No! Not like that! Wait, wait, wait…yes…exactly like that.

I’m a gnu/linux noob. I recently installed Pop OS on two older laptops. Am loving it so far. Going to work on getting games functioning on one of them next.

Was blown away when the built-in Disks program was able to easily fix a couple of thumb drives I have that were suffering from logical corruption. They were completely unusable in Windows 11. I tried 4 different methods in Windows 11 to fix them, with zero luck. Disks fixed them in 2 clicks. They are nicer thumb drives and were somewhat expensive. I am very happy to have them back.

Invest in aluminum foil now.

That is fascinating. I wonder if the wavelength of green light is better because of something akin to harmonic resonance.

These things are less safe, yet I see people driving aggressively and recklessly more than ever.

Meanwhile, bosses: Imma need you all to come back in to the office…because reasons.

Good advice already replied. Definitely have a business-only phone and a personal-only phone. I’d consider two different phone OS’s if you can. Keep crossover data as minimal as possible.

Would love to read a follow-up post from you 6-12 months down the line. Best of luck. It’s absurd how difficult this is in 2024.

Yeah, he was a hypocrit and I despised the guy. Woz was the real hero of Apple. But Jobs did say that stuff, and he was correct in that moment. We see it over and over.

As much as I disliked Steve Jobs, the man was 100% correct when he talked about companies rotting from the inside. They get taken over by sales & marketing types and the product designers and user experience experts get kicked to the curb.

TY!

Is there a Pirate Bay for books?

Thanks for the explanation. I should have known it’s the usual lack of proper infrastructure.

I don’t have kids, and I haven’t gone to school in…checks calendar…a very long time. WTF do some parents drive kids to school when there are school busses? What am I out of the loop on? We either walked or took the bus when I was a kid. Don’t the parents have shit to do?

I’m pretty aggressive about switching things off, too. I will never use OneDrive, for example.

Glad you found it useful! Love your username.

With MS you never know. They are pretty arrogant and aggressive about assuming you want things running in the background. Something you can try: Install ShutUp10 and look for things like Office Telemetry being turned on. You can switch these things off (permanently or temporarily, your choice) and see if that stops the traffic.

(There are other ways to do the same thing but I’ve been using ShutUp10 for years and love it)

I hope they figure out how to 3d print gum tissue. Harvesting donor tissue from the roof of your mouth certainly works, but is probably the worst part of the recovery.

Seems like it should be doable. But I doubt it’s high on the list compared to kidneys, livers, etc.

I worked on a creative writing thing with it and the more I added, the better its responses. And 4 is a noticeable improvement over 3.5.

Ha! That definitely happens sometimes, too.
