Echo Dot

I have been in one relationship in my entire life. 8 years ago I was assigned the desk next to her at work, and now I I’m going to marry.

I’m so glad that I have to put up with this shit. One and done, and I’m perfectly happy with it.

Right and presumably you need to be a trust fund kid and never actually have to go to work?

Well so what’s new porn got to do with literally anything?

There’s a lot of that in the software world. I’m thinking of gimp.

Graphics Image Manipulation Program, yeah right

It’s really hard to imagine a world without Git. If it hadn’t been invented I think it would have been necessary to create it it’s one of those things that’s hard to imagine and then impossible to work out how you can survive without it.

Yet the vast majority of the world probably don’t even know what it is, and wouldn’t even understand it if it was explained to them.

'ull to the locals

Yeah holding the UK is a pretty massive dump as well. So I’m glad the thematic consistency.

You would usually only get put on the list if you were obviously trying for other people to see it. Otherwise it’s public urination which is only a misdemeanor, unless you are a serial offender

But apparently not a pedophile. Not sure how that works, I’m also unclear on why it’s even relevant.

If he’d murdered someone would that be better or worse?

He’s just bored at this point. I would love to know whose idea that was.

Yes but you see if I close the lid, then it’s off. And that’s why my system has an up time of 208 hours.

There is such a thing as duck tape though, It’s a brand of duct tape

Literally nine tickets like this so far today. Nine.

It’s a good thing for them The purge isn’t real.

I never know where we’re talking about half the time.

I will go and open a ticket and I will put two words in it, and require you to contact me for more any information, and then I won’t answer the phone for 6 weeks. Oh and don’t bother leaving a voicemail message or sending me an email, because I never check them. However despite my complete unresponsiveness, I am nonetheless going to insist that it’s marked as high priority even though I don’t understand what high priority means - Every Employee Ever

Whenever you raise a problem with a process or setup the general answer is “It is what it is”. No! Your laziness can jump, you can fix the damn problem you are not going to get away with inaction with a platitude.

It is a bit complicated. Any kernel level program that crashes will cause the entire operating system to crash. But it won’t cause the system to continuously blue screen because it isn’t a required program in the way that crowdstrike was.

Crowdstrike is basically an antivirus program so it has to run when the operating system starts up and if it isn’t running then the operating system should not boot for safety reasons. The problem is that if it must be loaded, and it has a crash, then it loads and kills the system. So you get an infinite loop you cannot get out of.

Vanguard only has to run when you’re playing online though, so it’s not loaded when the system runs, or at least it doesn’t have to be. So it won’t cause a recurring boot loop. It might fail to load and you wouldn’t be able to play online games that require it until they fix it, but it isn’t going to prevent the computer from running.

NZ does import its mass shooters from Australia. So that works

Wait. Is the world going to have to deal with a flood of American immigrants now? That’s going to be delicious.

Did they try having some games I might be interested in? I don’t feel like they need marketing I feel like everyone knows about Xbox, then the fact that they exist. The big problem is that I have no reason to buy one.

At some point have they tried possibly making a decent halo game? Because the recent installments have not been good.

This seems like a rather self-defeating weapon really.

How was that weapon supposed to work? “Stay back or we will irradiate our own forces”. It’s not much of a threat is it.
