Glad my instance isn't either :)

Though it's pretty quiet with .world and quite a few others being down.

It's pretty great and mostly holds up.

How dare they not screw over their customers?

Gawd. Damned if you do, damned if you don't around here.

I'm pretty sure it's that Dwazoup bot (?) and they're just spraying out posts.

Is that the plugin that blocks the increasingly unfunny clock memes in c/ProgrammerHumor?

You've got a payphone you're trying to setup? That's awesome! I've always wanted something like that, but I would have to be able to make it actually work.

Currently I got hold of an old 1950's wall-mounted rotary phone and it's hooked to a Bluetooth adapter that makes it work via my cell phone.

The "Romulan Comfort Zone" sounds like a Romulan spa that's also a Romulan black site.

As a Trekkie, I'd be more mad about that ending than the series finale of ENT. And if the Xenomorph finale turned out to be a holodeck program, I would probably hate it even more lol.

Not throwing shade. As a standalone story or alternate continuity, Id totally read it. But I would be livid if it was the actual finale to TNG.

Also, Strange New Worlds kind of did that with the Gorn.

SpoilerRIP Henner :(

Only if it's the "no sugar added" BBQ sauce lol. Otherwise it's just spicy ketchup.

I think most people would refuse apple pie covered in ranch dressing, too.

I did phrase that poorly, lol, but I know people who probably would consider that a delicacy 🤮

Scummy company and product (it wasn't free, and you could get the same reports free from the credit bureaus directly), but the commercials and the Weird Al-esque musician they got for them were A+.

 

Familiar faces joining season 13 include Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Angela Bassett, Kathy Bates, and Gabourey Sidibe, along with former “Chanels” Lourd, Roberts, and Grande.

 

[I literally had this thought in the shower this morning so please don't gatekeep me lol.]

If AI was something everyone wanted or needed, it wouldn't be constantly shoved your face by every product. People would just use it.

Imagine if printers were new and every piece of software was like "Hey, I can put this on paper for you" every time you typed a word. That would be insane. Printing is a need, and when you need to print, you just print.

 

The Black Eyed Peas can sing us a song but chickpeas can only humus one.

 

Running suspicious software in a virtual machine seems like a basic precaution to figure out whether said software contains naughty code. Unfortunately it’s generally rather easy to detect whether or not one’s software runs inside a VM, with [bRootForce] going through a list of ways that a VirtualBox VM can be detected from inside the guest OS. While there are a range of obvious naming issues, such as the occurrence of the word ‘VirtualBox’ everywhere, there many more subtle ways too.

...

In order to squeeze by those checks, [bRootForce] created the vbox_stealth shell script for Bash-blessed systems in order to use the VirtualBox Manager for the renaming of hardware identifier, along with the VBoxCloak project’s PowerShell script that’s used inside a Windows VirtualBox guest instance to rename registry keys, kill VirtualBox-specific processes, and delete VirtualBox-specific files.

 

Who will protect the juice?

Copper wire thefts have increased in Los Angeles and other cities, but with thieves looking outside of street lights for cables to cut, drivers expecting to use EV chargers are sometimes caught off-guard.

With a significant number of the cut cables and smashed charging units being harvested for copper wire now, companies, governments and EV advocates are proposing everything from greater enforcement and penalties to cables that cover a vandal with ink—similar to the measures employed against bank robbers. Such a system has also been discussed in the UK, according to a BBC story from April.
