Build a small EMP device. Figure out how to trigger it from terminal. Delete the key bindings for vim. Map them to the trigger you have for the EMP.

… good luck…?

When they’re sure enough that they won’t cause false panic.

Well, I just realized I completely goofed, because I went with .arpa instead of .home.arpa, due to what was surely not my own failings.

So I guess I’m going to be changing my home’s domain anyway.

Not exactly.
You’re supposed to apply the treatment and expose your scalp to low-angle sunlight that’s slightly mottled. Something about the incident angle of the light rays paired with the low intensity (due to the dappling) just supercharge the hair growth process.

Experts recommend applying the mixture to your scalp an hour or two before sunset, and going for a walk through a wooded area. You should begin to see results immediately.
The hair will grow in very fast during your walk with a large central cluster that may appear to be a black speck or oblong shape. It will sprout with 6 to 8 longer hairs that may appear to be segmented, and may even move with the lightest breeze or touch. This is normal. It’s common to feel a pinching, itching, or even burning sensation with each hair cluster that appears on your head. If new hair clusters stop appearing while outside, please reapply the sugar-water mixture to your scalp.

It’s not recommended to shower after returning from the forest. This may wash away the delicate new hair clusters before they can root. You should also avoid this in the early morning, as the hair that grows under early morning light is silver and very fine. For some reason this very fine hair has a tendency to grow on your face, even if you have not applied the solution there.

For only way more time and money, you can buy a zigbee smart plug and a vendor agnostic zigbee hub flashed with FOSS, or you can buy a esp-based board, wire it up with a relay, and flash it with something like esphome.

Sure, it’s way more money and hours of work (cumulatively), but it won’t lose support!

My wife shared this with me yesterday, but I didn’t see it:

Somebunny is gonna learn those things aren’t windows-based today!

The other commenter on this pointed out that I should have said crisis management rather than disaster recovery, and they’re right - and so were you, but I wasn’t thinking about that this morning.

That’s a really astute observation - I threw out disaster recovery when I probably ought to have used crisis management instead. Imprecise on my part.

Ah, you’re right. A poor turn of phrase.

I meant to say that intel brands their IPMI tools as AMT or vPro. (And completely sidestepped mentioning the numerous issues with AMT, because, well, that’s probably a novel at this point.)

I think we’re defining disaster differently. This is a disaster. It’s just not one that necessitates restoring from backup.

Disaster recovery is about the plan(s), not necessarily specific actions. I would hope that companies recognize rerolling the server from backup isn’t the only option for every possible problem.
I imagine CrowdStrike pulled the update, but that would be a nightmare of epic dumbness if organizations got trapped in a loop.

Honestly kind of excited for the company blogs to start spitting out their disaster recovery crisis management stories.

I mean - this is just a giant test of disaster recovery crisis management plans. And while there are absolutely real-world consequences to this, the fix almost seems scriptable.

If a company uses IPMI (Called Branded AMT and sometimes vPro by Intel), and their network is intact/the devices are on their network, they ought to be able to remotely address this.
But that’s obviously predicated on them having already deployed/configured the tools.

Literally last week my wife noticed one while out and remarked “I can’t believe they’re still around.”

I just sent the article to her with the caption “You did this!”

I’m cynically viewing this as not a positive. I assume this is so they can make pages 2, 3 and so on as spammy as page 1.

Not at first, obviously. You don’t boil that frog on high heat.
You throw out a second page with a cute little text ad off to the side, then 1 or 2 at the top, then a mid-page ad. Maybe some suggested content.

Instead of having to scroll through a page’s worth of ads to get to semi-relevant results with a gem hidden in them, it’ll be a pages worth of ads for your semi-relevant results per page, and maybe what you were looking for 4 or 5 pages in.

Google used to be good. They ‘know’ what people are looking for. So they’ll probably hire someone familiar with gambling to figure out a minimum dispersion of relevant results on the pages, to keep people using the service and scrolling past ads. … I used to remember this. Variable-ratio reward schedule?

That’s the reason I killed IPv6 on my network.

So - I don’t think Firefox would be generating captions for PDFs on PDF creation.

But of the major ways that PDF’s do get created - converted from text editors or design software, I know that Microsoft Word automatically suggests captions when the document creator adds an image (but does not automatically apply captions), and I believe that some design software does, as well.

I think that, functionally, both suggesting captions at time of document creation, or at time of document read are prone to the same issues - that the software may not be smart enough to properly identify the object, and if it is, that it is not necessarily smart enough to explain it in context.
By way of example, a screenshot of a computer program will have the automatic suggestion of “A graphical user interface” (or similar), but depending on the context and usage, it could be “A virus installer disguised as ___ video game installer.” Or “The ___ video game installer.” Between the document creator and the creation software or screen reader, only the document creator would really know the context for the image.

Which is all to say that I think that Mozilla has the right idea with auto-tagging, but it will always fail on context. The only way to actually address the issue is to deal with it within the document creation software.
But I wouldn’t be opposed to ML on those that can auto-suggest things or even critique how content authors write their descriptions.

Ooh. I made a New/Classic/Diet/Zero joke with my colleagues last week.
I wish I’d thought of Halo, rather than soda. Your version is much better.

I don’t smoke, though. I’m a gummies kinda guy, and those are hard to get right unless you’re like, an operation, you know?

Dispensary gummies are lab tested. Although there’s a bit of a problem with lab shopping here, they’re going to be pretty consistent in terms of dosage. I won’t wind up accidentally couch-locked because the dose was too high or the gummies had an unexpected activation time.

To buy weed, my state requires folks hand over their ID, and the shop records the person’s info to make sure they’re not selling to a minor.
For someone that doesn’t want their info anywhere, I’m mildly annoyed by this, but I understand it.

My weed shop had a loyalty program where (because obviously they have to track your purchases because of state law), you got points based on how much you spent. It was automatic. No opting in or out or whatever. They had to collect the data, and figured they’d reward their customers for coming back.

Last week, they told me they were discontinuing the existing rewards program, and spinning up a new one that customers have to sign up for.
To me, that means they’re not just handling the data they’re required to maintain in house, but need me to opt in to something or otherwise waive my right to privacy in some fashion. I scanned the QR code they referenced and the page (off-site from their actual website) wouldn’t even load unless I disabled tracking protection/ad-blocking.
I closed the tab and am now wondering if I need a different weed shop.

I just saw a headline that he’s going to work for Microsoft now.

My employer heavily uses Microsoft, and I’m in IT.

Since June, Microsoft eliminated all their training staff - the folks who show others how to use their software, reclassified their customer experience staff to eliminate the role - these folks met with customers to solicit product feedback and find out what people actually want, made unilateral and poorly communicated changes to security policies that impact hundreds of our users, turned on beta (preview) features for end users without testing - in some cases rendering software inoperable in our environment, and is disabling or limiting features that work(ed) in software covered under our enterprise license end is encouraging people to purchase entirely new software systems from Microsoft to regain the lost functionality.

Honestly, if he was fired for pursuing profits over quality, then he’ll fit right in.

I mean, it sucks for everyone that can’t or don’t want to run homebrew OS’s.

The “One” link I shared above indicates the behavior became standard in Android 8 and iOS 11. They were released in August and September 2017, respectively.
