  • Were told our assignments in high school would get an automatic zero if we didn't turn them in in cursive, even...

  • Lots of those in C# now, especially with Unity coming along like it did.

  • On Error Resume Next never before have more terrible words been spoken.

    Every time I'm reading a PowerShell script at work and see -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue I want to scream into a pillow and forcefully revert their commit.

    I've actually done it a few times, but I want to do it every time.

  • It is an absolutely fantastic (and bizarre) game with an addictive game loop. It reminds me of Stardew Valley in that you can just play it and chill, it's one of those kinds of games; you won't be super challenged while playing it, but that's OK, it's not that type of game. It has a basic storyline, good humor, and the mechanics of the game also expand quite a bit as compared to the beginning of it. I've told multiple people "Don't look up reviews or videos, just buy this blind/sight-unseen and play it." and there hasn't been a single person that hasn't enjoyed the shit out of it. I'd buy it again for twice the asking price. It's just fun.

    So yeah, 10000% recommend.

  • Unlawful harvesting of jellyfish? Dave the Diver.

  • Eh, it depends. Other low-level things (systemd, glibc, etc) need a reboot too.

  • It's likely because they use it as the primary/unique identifier for the account, which is just dumb. It's like they've never heard of a UUID/GUID before.

  • CBOE will create options for it pretty soon after IPO, probably that week or the next. You'll definitely be able to buy puts on it before you'll be allowed to short sell it.

  • They really don't, though. Inclusion/exclusion operators work most of the time, but it'll still return results with explicitly-excluded keywords. It also fucks up results by returning entries with similar words to your query, even when you double-quote a part of the search term. Advanced queries that use booleans and logical AND/OR don't work at all anymore, that functionality has been completely removed. It returns what it thinks you want, not what you actually want, even when explicitly crafting a query to be as specific as possible.

    I use Kagi for search now and it's 1000x better, especially when researching technical issues; it's like when Google actually respected your search terms and query as a whole.

  • Does liber office make .docx files and export to pdf?

    It does. It's fine as a replacement for Word, but no one has an answer for Excel. LibreOffice Calc is fine for a basic spreadsheet, but Excel is in a completely different universe than Calc with anything beyond that.

    To be fair though, Excel is in a completely different universe than literally any other competing product.

  • The fact that Firefox isn’t listed as a browser alternative but Brave is throws any credibility that this article might have straight into the garbage.

    Suggesting Brave anything throws its credibility into the shitter, much less multiple times in multiple categories.

  • The EU has no enforcement ability outside of their own borders regardless of what they tell you.

    So uh, you think Google doesn't operate or do business in the EU? They have 20+ offices there. In the example I gave, they would 100000% be subject to GDPR, fullstop; it's not a question, matter of opinion, or debate. They'd even be subject to it if an EU citizen was physically inside the US on vacation and opened a Fi account while they were here.

    You EU guys are brainwashed and gullible to a level on par with N Koreans.

    I'm from Virginia and knowing compliance stuff (GDPR, CCPA, PCI DSS, NIST 800-*, etc) is a requirement of my job.

  • Weird. In the email I received, I just clicked the first link and a page opened letting me know I had opted out.

    Yeah, not for me. It just went to the main Fi account page when I actually got it to open instead of it trying to open in the Fi app. Maybe an A/B test or something, I don't know.

    What I do know is that I just switched wireless carriers, because fuck all that noise. That shit really rubbed me the wrong way. I might be on the road to completely divorcing myself from Google at this point.

  • Or just click the link that says to opt out. It will opt you out without doing anything else.

    There's no link in the email to opt out. The email gives you instructions on how to opt out and a link to the Fi website, but no direct link.

    The instructions also don't work by default, because once you log in to the Fi website, it automatically redirects you to the Fi app which conveniently doesn't have the opt out option available to toggle. You have to either uninstall the Fi app or manually turn off its ability to open fi.google.com URLs to actually opt out.

    I don't think that was an accident for even half a second, and I'm pretty sure that it just pushed me to switch carriers.

  • Google Fi is exclusive to U.S. customers so it doesn't matter if it breaks GDPR.

    Yeah it does. GDPR applies for EU citizens regardless of where they are. It's why every website in the fucking world has a cookie banner now. An EU citizen could register for Fi service with a VPN and a mailbox at a UPS store and Google's handling of their data would be subject to GDPR.

    So yeah, it definitely matters, and I wouldn't be surprised if they get sued because of this.

  • Then he'd puke, eat the puke, and pass out.

    Probably because hops are toxic to dogs.

  • God I love the Cisco Call Manager default hold music and I don't know why. I don't mind holding at all when it's this.

  • Don't fuck with me, I know a Dodongo when I see it.
