Nah, copilot will see the code is unsalvageable. So it’ll start replacing it with code learned from public repositories. Windows becomes Linux. Year of the Linux desktop achieved.

It’ll be reverse engineered and a tool on AliExpress for $50 within a few months. Dealer software will be cracked.

Then it’s just an arms race between the OTA updates and the pirates.

Not OP, but I have been meaning to talk to my Ubuntu admin about Intune on his systems so we can use conditional access on them.

With how difficult it had been to get macs setup, I have a feeling Edge will be the only way it works.

So in enterprise situations…I’d say “Plausible”.

Personally I mostly use Firefox on Linux, but Proxmox gui doesn’t handle that so well…so for that I have an App-isized Ungoogled Chromium window.

In a way, yeah. You’d hope that, more than anything, it’d just be a topical reaction on their skin.

My youngest had real bad skin as a baby that cleared up when we stopped feeding our oldest peanut butter. We had him get a scratch test and it showed positive for peanuts back in like Jan 2020.

He was supposed to be getting put into an exposure therapy trial then, but due to COVID we were never able to book a “peanut challenge” exposure test.

Fast forward to about two years ago when they say they have an opening almost a year out for the peanut challenge.

So early this year we finally take it, and he passed. No therapy at all.

We’d been avoiding peanuts like the plague for 5 years. Getting epipens, making sure they are stocked and in-date at preschool. Always carrying one with us. Stressing out about whether or not we left it in the car too long. Never once using it. We were very diligent about peanuts.

The kid was never allergic. He had false positive tests on the scratch test. In fact, the blood tests always showed no reaction. He just had bad skin, or something.

But now he says he doesn’t “like” peanut butter and is always still making sure he gets sunbutter…but I know him well enough to know he’s actually scared of peanuts and too proud to admit it.

😭 😮‍💨

Yep. Waiting for the day I pull up to the dispensary to find it surrounded by ICE vans.

Country?

This is America.

Liquor licenses are handled by the state or municipality.

At this particular venue (Xfinity Center)…no, I don’t think so. Most of the vendors that are around are in carts with just beer, water, hard seltzer…maybe a canned cocktail or wine cooler.

Maybe at the counter-service vendors, where you could get mixed drinks. Possibly.

They do have water bottle stations though. And you can bring in one empty reusable bottle or one factory-sealed water bottle upto 1 gallon.

Who tf thinks to bring water to a concert tho. You pregame in the parking lot and after your second or third $30 beer…then you realize you really need a water.

The only time I ever bought Liquid Death was at a concert. I paid $15 for a can. I don’t see any humor here. Literally the only option aside from walking all the way to damn near the parking lot for a water fountain.

Probably the only time I felt more ripped off over water was when I willingly spent nearly that much for Gillywater at Universal Studios. Its just regular bottled water. Nothing special at all. At least those round coke bottles at Hollywood Studios were sorta novel.

It reminds me of something…can’t quite tell what.

Maybe the conference room in The Lawnmower Man?

Maybe V for Vendetta? Or 1984?

Idk, but either way it’s not a good look for him.

That’s why I only buy electronics on AliExpress.

Monopolies are good for innovation /s

(Bell Labs being probably the only notable exception)

This. Components would be overpriced and proprietary. Nobody wants that.

Building and upgrading a computer really isn’t that difficult. All the parts only fit in one spot. Getting compatible parts can be tricky if you don’t know what you’re looking for…but this problem could strike this idea, too, because there would certainly need to be different generation mainboards whenever CPU sockets or chipsets or memory speed or really anything else on the mainboard comes around.

So such a solution would likely lead to less choice and more proprietary vendor-locked garbage. Just now solely on the hardware side.

But wait…what games are compatible with this system? What games will run well?

This is something Valve has done really well…they built a benchmark system. This is the problem that’s been plagueing PC, imo. AAA games get built for bleeding edge tech, necessitating upgrades…while the steamdeck sets a bar that developers have to be playable on in order to tap that entire market. Could the game run better on better systems? Sure, probably. But it needs to be at least playable on steamdeck.

Nobody wants to ride bikes because everyone in the cars are too dangerous to be sharing the road with.

Nobody wants to put in protected bike lanes because everybody drives.

There wouldn’t be a need for an autonomous car to go on a freeway if we had decent intermodal public transit.

Just have cars like these patrolling the suburbs and picking people up for light/commuter rail, then a hub where you could get within a block of anywhere with no more than one transfer.

High Speed rail if you need to get to another urban center from there.

That’s the dream, at least.

Nobody wants to use public transit, because it’s starved dry. Nobody wants to invest in public transit, because nobody uses it. Everyone just drives, because everyone has cars. Everyone has cars because public transit is terrible.

But I do long for the day that this could pick me up and take me to the bus station/commuter rail stop.

I store all my passkeys in bitwarden so they are available anywhere I have bitwarden. Which makes it tough if/when I need personal accounts at work (like to log into electric company to check outage map).

Vinny Pazienza? The Pazmanian Devil himself?

My phone tells me every night that it’s slow charging and it will be full by [the time I have my alarm set for].

Back to the Future 2.

Kids think whatever they’re exposed to.

Neither of my kids use their tablets anymore after having/getting access to a laptop. They were a little confused, at first, since the town uses touchscreen Chromebooks for K-1, but they got used to it, since none of my laptops have a touchscreen. Now they view touchscreens as being for babies. Like that kid in BTTF2 with the lightgun…“You mean you have to use your hands?”
