Agreed. It definitely fixes backing over a toddler in your driveway though.

I have a newer crossover. I put a hitch mount cargo box on and went to back out of the driveway. It slammed the brakes on harder than I ever have.

Basically anything that will fit between pages and is in reach is a bookmark.

Fedora doesn’t enable privacy extensions by default, if I recall correctly.

Some heavier Thinsulate gloves were always enough for me. Maybe a pair of those thin fabric cheapies underneath.

Boots were just my regular winter boots. I think they all say "comfortable" down to -40C at this point. Comfortable is probably overselling it, but I still have all of my toes.

I don't remember my glasses ever really fogging up until I'd get inside. I don't like things on my face, so usually just a hat with ear flaps. Add a scarf for neck and lower face. Perhaps a beard helped too. It and my mustache have certainly frosted up.

When I was doing it regularly, those days just weren't common enough to justify doing anything special. I could generally keep the rides short which really helped out.

This. I’ve ridden a bike year round in southwestern Ontario.

In general, I’m fairly waterproof.

-30C was pretty cold, especially moving, but rare enough I could dress for it and keep my body parts.

Snowstorms are always fun. Free physics lessons included. How much traction can you get? Whoops, I’m laying on the ground.

Thunderstorms and hail you might want to avoid.

You can configure the window border size.

They don't explicitly block it in my org, but connecting to VPN while it's running breaks the networking inside WSL.

Sometimes it is routed from the VPN, sometimes it is DNS, sometimes it just needs a restart. I'm not sure if that situation has improved. There were some workarounds at one point.

Please, no security vulnerabilities.

"Ummm, I think I agree with this description" vs "I, think, umm, I agree with, umm, this description"

The first one indicates something along the lines of "thinking, please stand by". The second one is a struggle.

> Flatpak and Flathub terrify me

I thought Flathub has a review and approval process. Does it fall short in some fundamental way?

Any review process is more than the AUR and NPM are doing.

I don't know if kids are even reading comments. There's another perfectly good video with just a quick swipe.

You can remove almost app in Nextcloud. It is pretty modular. You can have a files only Nextcloud, last time I tried.

I've been on the internet for a long time, and it still surprises me that people willingly post emulator code next to their real names on Github.

You could challenge the *DCMA* claim in court and win, but you would have to spend a lot of money and time, and the only thing you get back in the end is the right to post the *code to Github*.

I’m with you there, I probably would too.

But when your child is late to school but they won’t allow you in until you scan the QR code and fill in a form? Do you stand and wait hoping to be noticed? Hoping to tailgate somebody with a phone? Just head home?

The school also sends general communications only by app.

They have a ton of logos.

I think they do sports teams too.

Instead of learning from past mistakes, it seems we need to keep making the same ones over and over.

And here I am just wanting station wagons to come back, and be reasonably priced.

The towing numbers are always higher in Europe than US too, despite being the same cars (as far as I know).

I happily used a small Wacom graphics tablet as a mouse for a long time. Thanks for the memories, I’d nearly forgotten.

Steam will near saturate a 1Gb pipe for me.

I have downloaded quite a few Linux ISOs from mirrors at 90MB/s.

I don't use anything sticky, but if it's my first time opening basically anything, one side of my working space becomes a map of the screws.

Roughly in the layout of the way they came out. Top to bottom, in layers, as it comes apart.

A habit from working on laptops in a warranty center. I might have to try some tape.

It’s a pretty normal trick to try while troubleshooting a rotating part.

Helping something start is not likely to ruin your day (unless you get caught in a rotating part)

My job still issues 16GB laptops as standard. You need a business reason to get more. This has been going on since before the price hikes.

I’m a system administrator and I can do my job with no issues at 16GB. Most days 8GB would likely be enough, since I’m just using and abusing other systems anyway.

Java devs at my last job were still running 16GB in 2020. Admittedly that was a while ago. Still not a decade.

Close some Chrome tabs?

I hate physics and chemistry.

They sold well. In my experience working at Staples at that time, small and cheap beat any other consideration for many customers. Hard to argue with a $99 PC.

A few months later, they'd realize it wasn't working out, come back, scream at us, and buy something bigger and faster.

I really liked the MSI one I had, but I knew what I was getting into.

> newer one with weird "features" like that

Anything with push button start. It has been around a while.

I've never needed to press the brake pedal until my current car. Just the clutch pedal. It's my first automatic.

It also doesn't require a hard press, just enough,

I think it'd be fairly straight forward to damage the rubber hoses near the calipers so that failure was imminent but not immediate.

If my contract says that I must be available immediately at any time, do I have ANY personal time? Or is all of my time their time too?

Everything is relative.

I thought 128MB of SDRAM was a good deal at $100.

I also thought $479 for 32GB of DDR4 was nuts back in 2016/2017.

PS2 didn't come out until 2000. Most of the games I remember are from later too.
