You're also likely to repeatedly trip whatever breaker that outlet is connected to unless it's a big one like you'd have for a central AC unit, but then you'd likely also know enough to have a proper transfer switch.

Bought one used several years ago for $75 and it's still on the used starter toner.

Randomness is the exact opposite of what people usually mean by freedom, though, isn't it?

Fuck_u_spez_ ,

I'm agnostic as to the labels I use to define myself.

...

Shit, I just used one, didn't I?

VGA is analog. You ever look at an analog-connected display next to an identical one that's connected with HDMI/DP/DVI? Also, a majority of modern systems are running at around 2-4 * 1080p, and that's hardly unnecessary for someone who spends 8+ hours in front of one or more monitors.

You can even install the DE from archinstall.

I thought it was a font at first but it looks like actual calligraphy.

Fuck_u_spez_ ,

Right, because this dude is totally 100% law abiding.

Fuck_u_spez_ ,

Damn, I must be under-caffeinated. I've been sitting here trying to figure out why the dude would have neuralized himself.

Everyone? You sure? Just off the top of my head, I've witnessed:

  1. A fellow millennial recently calling his tower "the modem".

  2. A user who thinks a computer experiencing a "crash", as in the unexpected termination of a process, means everything on the hard drive was just lost.

  3. A teacher who swears their fiber optic internet connection always slows down when it rains.

  4. A family member who thinks cell phones are actually miraculous.

  5. An IT director who decided to save time while rewiring an entire school district's network by forgoing patch panels completely, terminating hundreds of CAT-6 cables (which he first laid directly on top of the drop ceiling grid) with RJ45 connectors plugged straight into switches, labeling each with masking tape.

  6. A police officer who called his chief and supervisor over to his desk in order to explain that he discovered a massive vulnerability on the agency website, demonstrating the risk by showing them how he was able to change some text with the browser's element inspector.

  7. A software developer who only used Internet Explorer (years ago when Chrome was still arguably the best option) because "Google tracks you". He was later sentenced to decades in federal prison for organizing the production of CSAM on the surface web, not the darknet, mostly over Craigslist.

My boss called me immediately to tell me about that one because he knew I'd laugh my ass off.

Right, as in something other than the result of careful research and development. She's just older and doesn't have the slightest idea how anything works, habitually trying three different appliances to warm up her coffee when the power goes out before realizing they all need electricity, so it's all just magic and mystery.

Then again, it's people like us who say things like "computers are just rocks we tricked into thinking by putting lightning inside of them" so I don't not get it.

Thought it was just me. Used to have at least twice this many in my old office:

That's a good idea. Yeah, the trick I discovered in getting them off the mounting bracket without the chrome plating peeling is to grab each end of the bracket with vice grips and/or pliers (after you unscrew it from the drive) and just bend it down and away from the magnet. They usually come off in one piece that way, too.

Had a very similar issue with an Intel NUC running Arch.

Fuck_u_spez_ ,

A lot of us don't take great care of our bodies, unfortunately.

I'm disappointed that there's not a single comment about dissociating or masturbating.
