Is this labour doing an actual labour thing?

I remember when the first looks at (or poster of) the sonic movie came out, and it was ripped to shreds.
A prominent visual redesign of sonic went viral, and - credit where credits due - the studio reworked the movie to adopt the changes.

Human teeth? I mean, really?

Is that http2? Cause http2 allows for reuse of a connection for additional requests.

This caught me out with envoy reverse proxy doing a few subdomains using a wildcard cert.
The browser would reuse the connection cause the cert authority and IP was the same, but envoy couldn't figure out how to route the request correctly. Absolute head scratcher!

In France, no one spoke English even though I spoke loudly and slowly

Haha, reminds me of a holiday ages ago in France.
Someone left their handbag behind or something, and my friend said "I'll sort it out, I know French". To be fair, he did. But when I went back to tell him where we ended up, he was speaking slowly and loudly to the poor french person.

Which reminds me of another time in France, having breakfast. I ordered "orange juice" and the waiter looked confused. So I said it again slower, and his face lit up and said "ah, jus d'orange".

Oh, so if a judge has a vested interest in more than 1 party, then they should recuse themselves from the case.
Good to know where the line is

You have to become a 4th level sysadmin, and donate at least 3 accepted PR to the kernel in chief in order to get an invite

The testing was primarily focussed around OLED vs LCD models of the steam deck.
The Asus was only included to give some context of the competition.

It also talks about improved thermals between oled and lcd, the improved redesign, and stuff that isnt relevant/applicable to tge asus.

The AI summary completely misses this, and assumes its all a direct comparison between 2 competitors, and lists only the sections relevant to this

Raising awareness of private jet usage by targeting politicians is not going to be as effective as targeting high profile celebrities.

The positive is hopefully that rich folk start reducing their private jet usage so they dont get raked over thr coals and have a jet-usage-tracking-account publishing their ridiculous flights.

Extreme carbon usage like that is a huge issue (if not the defining issue) at the moment to a large amount of people.
Shine a light on all of it, expose it all. Every polititian doing stupid stuff, every rich CEO, every celeb. But it has to start somewhere

Family sized bags of chips are also a comfort food and very appealing when depressed.
They are cheap enough and filling enough and interesting enough that you can find yourself munching through them as you try and distract yourself from whatever.
It's quite easy to set up a vicious circle of depressed -> eat crap -> depression.
And it is very difficult to break out of it

Wow, what a trip to the past!
Trying to figure out how my friend has a webpage at geocities.com/supercool and I have to have geocities.com/superawesome/superawesome.html

Raspberry PIs got me into Linux, python, networking and a whole bunch more.
Now, that's my job.

PIs are great for tinkering or quick jobs, specifically if you need GPIO or GPIO related peripherals and networking/monitor.
For anything that needs a computer with an ethernet port (web serving, pihole, docker, whatever) then buy some cheap knock-off or refurbished low power device.
For anything that only needs the GPIO then get some MSP32.

I've used PIs for doing crazy adapters between hardware and network. And they are awesome for that.
I've built a few projects that have also had a GUI. Also awesome for that.
But low powered PCs don't have the native GPIO support at the same cost.
And a lot of the knock-offs don't have the same library support. And certainly don't have the Linux support.

However, I made this decision a few years ago.
So, it's possible that my opinion is now out dated, and competitors have really picked up.
It's also easier for me to spend $100 knowing a pi will do it, as opposed to gambling (or spending more time/support time) on a more reasonably priced SBC.
