Pringles , 2 days ago to Memes in I'm helping I promise!

I have 4 cats and I handle them all without getting scratched while trimming their nails. There is one cat that will bite the nail scissors, she is tricky to handle because of that. When she catches a finger between the nail scissors and her teeth, she bites full force and that does not make a pleasant experience. I tried burritoing her, but it's just easier to have her on her back and using sleight of hand to distract her.

Pringles , 10 days ago to Technology in VW will invest up to $5 billion in Rivian as part of new EV joint venture

Volkswagens EV platform is a mess because the CEO responsible for the pivot to EV within VW, was only allowed to implement it if he stopped being the CEO. So the next guy half assed the 80B$ pivot to EV, leading to VW being one of the worst performers amongst EV producing OEMs.

So now they are on the market to buy whatever is needed to get them out of the hot mess they created themselves.

This law, if it were to pass, is 100% guaranteed to be shot down by the European courts for invasion of privacy.

I just tested it on my work laptop and it's ridiculous how much faster search is now. Gonna propose to implement it company wide on workstations. I mean, I would do so in a heartbeat, but I still want our CIO to sign off on it.

For servers though, I'm creating the policy first thing in the morning. The slow search has been the bane of my existence for years (although admittedly I could've googled it many times and never did, so that's on me).

Pringles , 1 month ago to Technology in Ordered back to the office, top tech talent left instead, study finds

You know, I work full time from home ever since covid and it is brilliant because I had a long commute to an office I didn't really needed to be in because all my peers/colleagues are in other countries. But when I started out, I worked in a nice office which was a 10 minute bike ride from my home and it was brilliant. If I could do the same work within a 10 minute commute I do now, I would be in the office every day I think.

Pringles , 1 month ago to Selfhosted in What's a good NAS and server system under CAD$900 (USD$658)?

I use an HP microserver gen 8, which I bought second hand (300$) and upgraded with a better CPU (20$ from ebay) and extra ram (80$) and 4 2TB SSD's (100$ per). I installed Windows server on it because I just wanted it to work in a way I'm familiar with, but a colleague of mine installed Synology OS on it. You can use the cd drive bay for the OS disk (with some tweaking). Since you already have the disks, this would fit your budget.

It's an impressive piece of software, alright

Pringles , 2 months ago to Technology in Tesla slashes vehicle and self-driving-ish software prices as shares plummet

Tesla was overvalued when it hit 50$ pre stock split. Its continued rise over a period of years to one of the most valuable public companies is just mind boggling. But I think even now there is a lot of hesitance in shorting the stock as entire fortunes have been lost trying to predict a share price correction.

But we're about to find out whether Tesla truly transcends auto companies: https://bradmunchen.substack.com/p/could-tesla-go-bankrupt-the-odds

Been using kagi for several months now and can't imagine going back. The only thing I still use google for is when I want to shop for a specific product after having used kagi to do my homework. I'm sure I can configure a filter for that, but haven't gotten around to that yet.

I have never experienced this. Where do you have ads at gas stations?

If the drinking goes on long enough, I will go through all of these phases.

Pringles , 3 months ago to Fuck Cars in Real-world CO2 emissions of cars are 20% higher than indicated. For plug-in hybrids they are 250% higher.

A lot of plug-in hybrid owners took the state support to buy an ICE with a smaller gas tank. And it also can drive electric, but nobody does that.

I had that with VPN unlimited, but now I use Nord VPN which is a lot less heavy on the battery.
