This is exactly how I conduct myself with my maga mother in law. Any bigoted shit in front of my daughter gets publicly squashed and any political topics are quickly dealt with and put in its place. She lives a life of ignorance, dont be mad, feel bad.

Attatch a sausage to a soneloid and make a capacitive button pusher!

That’s silly, they really don’t use much power in the grand scheme of things. It uses a lot of power for a very short period, a small blip. Big power consumption comes from things that run often or all the time. It compounds.

Does anyone remember older 747 jets having these types of projectors to show movies on international flights? Always thought it was so cool.

Thank you for putting into words what ive subconsciously been thinking for years. Every search result prioritizes videos at the top and I’m still annoyed every time. Or even worst I have to hunt through a 10 minute video for the 30 seconds of info I needed. Stoohhhhpppp internet of new! Make it good again!

Tax the offshore engineering and R&D, too. My company plays both these cards with a China office to hire local, cheaper talent plus manufacturing is local so they help domestically on their side. Thats a win. Then they hire tons of Indian H1B for engineering in America.

Other elephant in the room is how healthy is the dad? A super motivated, athletic and engaged older dad is still better than an uninterested, over weight, young dad.

I used it many years ago, perhaps 10, and started using it again because it allows me to rename PWAs. I have four instances of Frigate running for various locations and now i can edit their name based on location.

My 36" TV is fine, you monster.

As an employee, I take offense…

Spoken like a true MBA. I call this trash Buzz word salad.

I noticed the last modified date on some of my mp3s recently and realized almost all of them are old enough to drink and some are nearly 30 years old :(

Most electric vehicle motors (or any motor, wind farms, cordless drills, etc), speakers, and medical MRI machines need them and lots of them. Kind of important and America has been asleep at the wheel on this topic for decades.

You can also buy ‘trigger boards’ and wire it uo yourself if you like. I replaced all my barrel jack devices with USB.

That is not correct, you won’t get a random lower voltage. You are correct that thw PD supply needs to support the voltage but PD always starts with 5V for backwards comparability then digitally its negotiates the PD voltage it wants, if it asks for 12v and its not available it with just stay at 5V. It won’t spit out the closest value unless the device asks for it. Its a very strict and wonderful standard.

At least she even comments. Mine just waves her hand in disgust. She knows it enables her whole technological life, but couldn’t give a shit.

I thought it was a joke until someone at my company gave a company wide presentation on how to use AI to accelerate coding and st several points flat out ADMITTED he didn’t know what the hell it was doing but you just need to ‘baby sit’ it and you get useful scripts out of it. I’m a hardware engineer and I wanted to scream at him.

Check the power supply too. Those mini PCs just use a cheap laptop power brick and sometimes they can’t sustain their full output anymore. I had one server constantly crash and once I swapped the power brick I never had a problem again.

Because those boomers who are broke were attempting to keep up with those who actually had money. I know a few examples…

Cool and dark, he would just toss them in baskets in a dark space that didn’t even stay that cool. He might have picked them before they were ripe but I dont remember.
