Plot twist: one guy brought in 3 locked milks.

First thing it did was overwrite the partition table and everything else with that, to make its own, since it could disregard all the existing data.

I agree with the other commenter, commercial recovery, if the data was that crucial.

Still feels like a waste. But my spool was just taking up space.

I regret it, it was dozens of disks, and yet haven’t needed a CD since.

Although I do still use DVDs on occasion.

You’re missing how a bunch of their friends from their new social class already do drugs and how good those drugs feel.

Easy hole to fall into, but money honestly makes it harder to climb out of, you can always afford the drugs.

So it becomes the norm, whereas someone at the poverty line with an addiction can’t afford them regularly and has to spend grocery money on them and therefore might be addicted but also resents them.

Rich people can afford to normalize drugs and consider themselves fine while they’re on them, because they’re still living within their means.

Zigbee is a mesh network, but Zigbee with mqtt has a hub that stores messages. I haven’t used it myself but it would mean that if, say, a Zigbee bulb was routing a message on the mesh network through a smart switch across the room to the hub, and the switch dropped the connection for a moment, a hub reply could be dropped entirely. Just briefly, but thatd be the intermittent issues that people are describing here.

MQTT stores all those messages in the hub though and makes the light bulb check in to get the messages, so if a light bulb were to do that and the switch disconnected, the light bulb would notice the failure and just retry, and the message is still on the mqtt hub to be redelivered.

Dunno if this description is exactly correct, but it sounds like it from my brief look on Wikipedia on communication differences.

Probably can, there’s a speaker in there somewhere.

Yeah same, OP’s was definitely a mistake. I think she’s just here for us two.

I haven’t used raidz but a quick search tells me it supports single-drive expansion.

Maybe reconfigure your raidz as a 2-drive system, then copy over all your data into it, and expand it back into a 3-drive system after.

Pretty sure it’d fry the power supply. Thats my first bet, is that it wouldn’t even get through it.

If it did pass through, it could fry your electronics. A USB killer is a short pulse, and not at all strong compared to main, so I expect that it’d act more like if a neutral was floating, than an actual surge at the voltage a USB killer usually gets to.

No idea for sure though and I’m not an electrician.

Well I figure he does want control.

Also, if theres two competitors and both could give more than a 2x return, then its a safe bet. The only way its an unsafe bet is if they can both fail, but hes clearly not thinking about that kind of thing.

VLC icon, obviously.

VLC’s agenda has always been being the only traffic cone. It even stands for Very Large Cone.

Don’t fall for Big Cone’s agenda.

From the site:

Directing portions of proceeds to Luigi’s GiveSendgo defense fund

our products are not officially endorsed by Luigi Mangione, his representatives, or any associated entities.

So no, it’s not official.

They have some photos of donation receipts but there’s no amount, I haven’t made the effort to see if the IDs on them can be publicly traced to that.

Nowhere on the website does it say what portion of proceeds are donated.

No you can’t do that with administrator in windows.

Some things, windows just won’t let you do, even as an administrator.

Probably a habit from when they really did have bad English, but they learned, and surpassed the average american at this point.

The “I can’t believe you’re so thin” is still mildly infuriating.

There’s also Tiny 10 and Tiny 11, which take it even further. They’re genuinely small, too, they did good work.

If you actually read the whole graph, you’ll see windows has 2 entries.

It just needs to have the water and air removed, really, which is accomplished the same way as jerky, remove a bunch of it, then stick in a silicate packet, those ones that say not to eat them.

Completely agree.

The only reason the relative had it at all was because of those old fears. As soon as I learned that they had it bundled with the computer (hate that. Malware’s gotta get in somewhere though I guess), I knew why it was being slow.

I hold this up as an example because even their own troubleshooting website and a program dedicated to the purpose above and beyond the usual uninstaller couldn’t do it though. Avast doesn’t even know its own malware.

Also this nonsense got me the chance to put mint on their computer, but the “switch to Linux” argument isn’t constructive in this particular spot. They didn’t end up sticking to it because a required-for-school piece of software for tests just doesn’t do Linux at all. Couldn’t get it to run in wine or even a virtual machine either, and they’re not great at the whole computer thing so I didn’t wanna be tech support for dual booting.

Here’s an example. I removed avast via the uninstaller on a relatives computer, it made it laggy as hell. I restart after as the uninstaller demands, but it was still there.

Searching, I find this official support option. https://support.avast.com/en-us/article/10

The official Avast Uninstall Tool, the tool to use when the included uninstaller didn’t work.

The official uninstall tool didn’t work either. I ran it in safe mode, like it said. Didn’t work, either, but it removed some stuff, and finally let me delete some things manually. Ran it again in safe mode after that, finally seems to have removed everything.

Anyway it’s a great example of if a company doesn’t know what they’re about, windows has no process to recover from that. Window’s process is identical to a Walmart employee saying. “I dunno, man, contact the manufacturer.” Genuinely, its usually enough, but when its not, there’s absolutely no recourse.
