Must suck if somebody comes to claim your stuff as part of a Special Veterinarian Order. 🌻

There is never a reason to not back in, and the end result is always a better parking job and an easier exit.

With the exception of diagonally placed parking spots next to a one-way lane, like the 30-60 degree ones here: https://www.dimensions.com/collection/parking-lot-layouts.

If the lane is wide enough you might be able to back up into a 60 degree one, but I’d hardly qualify it as a better parking job or easier exit.

With regular parking lots I fully agree that backing up is usually far superior.

Linux being a kernel is hardly relevant though. The law lies the responsibility at the “operating system providers”, looking at the definition in the article that would be the developers/organisation behind the individual distributions. Politicians don’t care if each distro comes up with their own solution or gets built-in to the kernel.

But personally I think they all just give this law the finger, put a ‘not for use in California’ in their licenses and forget about this brainfart.

This indeed ☝🏻

Oh no, I’m thoroughly stuck in this hole. I sure hope nobody is going to ravish me. 🌻

Good, get the fuck out of here and report to /c/dadjokes@lemmy.world on the double. 😋

Haha, don’t worry, no harm done. Maybe I was a bit too subtle in hindsight.

That’s Poe’s Law by the way.

It was meant tongue-in-cheek, you seem to be taking it much more seriously than I intended it to be. 🙂

But in reality is not done because it simply doesn’t bring any benefit.

Fully agree that there is absolutely no benefit to NAT66, it only causes enormous headaches. I sincerely hope nobody uses it these days, this poor bastard however did manage to find a VPS provider that used NAT66 back in 2018: https://blog.apnic.net/2018/02/02/nat66-good-bad-ugly/ 🤢

Have I got news for you. ☹️

Edit: I’ll just add an ‘/s’ for good measure, as apparently I was too subtle. Be sensible, don’t do NAT66.

The plug on that thing is absolutely terrifying, super flimsy and so small you have to almost touch the prongs to plug it in.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the secret of building appliances that outlast their owners.

I am altering the deal. Pray I don’t alter it any further.

I find this image extremely offensive. Flathead screws are a curse on humanity and need to die out.

Nope, a Dell Latitude.

The only thing Bazzite smashes is the ability to boot my laptop, which was the be expected as Fedora also consistently had major issues on it in the past. I’ll stick to Mint, works well enough for gaming now that I’ve whipped it into shape.

Who’s going to be king of the brown hill?

… what a day to be literate. Enough internet for today.

Well, it did help that they used a simple serial connection back then and didn’t require any advanced electronics. Just a bunch of resistors and basic stuff like that, all relatively large components that are easy to solder with what I had back then. I’m not sure how easy it would be these days with USB.

Reminds me of highschool math. At some point you needed a graphical calculator, you could upload programs onto them but that required hooking them up to a computer with a crazy expensive data cable. So I found a schematic, ordered the components for a fraction of that price and learned to solder. It looked ugly AF, but it worked. Next step I wrote a program containing the formula’s I needed, uploaded it and installed a program which hid your program menu until you pressed a certain key combination. It could even simulate a hard reset, as you could get spot-checked and asked to do just that.

I could also have just memorised the formula’s, but that wouldn’t have been fun. And unlike all those formula’s I still use my soldering and programming skills. 😋

Lol, should I be impressed? I own a pair of Apple AirPod Pro’s, bought them in part because I worked with a MacBook at the time and admittedly they worked together very well. They now live somewhere in a drawer, to be forgotten for all eternity, as that is the only fate they deserve.

Sound quality (music)? Might be taste, but nothing to write home about.

Reliably connecting with anything that’s not an Apple product? Lol

Firmware upgrades if you don’t own an Apple phone? Rofl

Had to return them twice because of a manufacturing error (there even was an official replacement program) and Apple, being the cheap-ass SoB’s they are, would only replace the right pod as that one had issues. So of course two weeks after my set was returned the left one started acting up as well.

But the cherry on top: the other reason I bought them was the noise cancelling. It was during Covid and I would work in the same room as my GF, so being able to not having to listen in on her calls was necessary for me. The original pods had fantastic noise cancelling, where the replacements did an absolutely and utterly shitty job. The most important feature, the justification for their existence: removed. Great job Apple, great job.

Never again.

Sorry for the rant, the hatred runs deep I guess.
