My dentist called me to book an appointment and less than 5 seconds later, my wife called. She’s obviously cheating on me with the dentist.

Unless they become part of the military industrial complex


Oh. Took me a while to realize they weren’t sharing a PowerPoint slide with the public.


If your device’s clock is set to the wrong time, it should tell you how far off the clock is set.
Why are we assuming that your HTTP-based method running in JS in a browser, using servers that are already distributed and time-synched with tech stacks that you have no insight into, is the “right time” and the directly NTP-synchronized clock of my machine is the “wrong time”?


Well, this could be just a visual representation of the download that it’s performing internally, for the purpose of communicating its current activity to the crew members. Those files are huge, man…


Maybe it should just say “this means your intelligence is below average”. I genuinely think someone with <80 IQ would have a very low chance of understanding the text as presented in the screenshot.
Stupid people are people with human rights too, and they should be considered with empathy when building a society. That should be particularly obvious to a site that performs IQ tests. For every person with an IQ above 100, there’s a person below.


Thanks, but what’s the significance of the hashtags? Who added those?


I’m either too young or too old. I have no idea how to read that screenshot - what direction, who to attribute which comment to, or what they are implying / referencing.


It is, but this here is just YouTube being retarded.


I suspect it was part of some stupid copy protection scheme.


Because nothing has changed since then, except for the worse.


Adobe has no scruples.
I used to work for a full-disk encryption vendor in the 2000s, and one customer had an issue where the machine would BSOD sometimes if both our product and Adobe Acrobat were installed. It seemed a mystery or just a red herring - what on Earth did Acrobat do that could trigger a kernel-mode crash?
Turned out that every hour or so, Acrobat would be reading and writing back the master boot record (containing the OS bootstrap code and partition table) on the primary hard drive. The bug was ours (to unlock the hard drive keys at boot we had to put different data there and redirect I/O after Windows started, and this redirection code would crash once in a blue moon), but Adobe has no business mucking about with this extremely sensitive data.


I read this from the start with the mind that it’s probably an April fool’s joke, but not once did I see any indication to exaggerate or build up to a humorous absurdness. It’s just a long article that could be true but isn’t. Stupid and a waste of time.


One tribble is added to every single scene aboard the Enterprise. They do nothing. They are simply there. Occasionally one rolls across the background during a tense dialogue exchange.
Toshiba used to sell a laptop (IIRC the model name was R500) back in like 2008 that had a mirror behind the screen, meaning that bright sunlight would be reflected back through the LCD and always respond to external lighting conditions no matter how bright. The image quality and color was shitty, but you could use it in the sun. Battery time was also extremely impressive.
Yesterday you said tomorrow
Sorry I don’t follow your point.
Typical Linux distributions are almost objectively harder to use than Android. I’d be surprised if anyone really disagrees with this. When someone complains about Linux being hard to use, it’s the POSIX-based Linux distributions that must support arbitrary hardware (often poorly so) that they refer to. I don’t need to care about installing NVidia drivers and whether they’re compatible with EFI handover when I buy an Android phone.


Not necessarily. The Pixel 9P has three different microphones and they are used differently for different situations (but not all at once). All I can say is the person on the other end can’t hear me unless I turn on speakerphone.
