Excellent news and well done. More, please. I also love how the journalist included this line:

The amount is about 0.47% of the group’s global revenue.

Again: More, please.

Not an American either, but imagine a group of Disney adults just got their photo taken with Micky in front of that plastic castle at Disneyland. The camera clicks and immediately they all turn to each other and laugh and slap each others backs. What fun! Basically they did that in front of a monument to dead soldiers. What fun!

You mean to tell me running sfc /scannow and DISM.exe didn’t fix the problem?

defrag c: /f /v

Funny, I just finished watching Midnight Cowboy. Relentlessly bleak. Highly recommended.

Different subnets, similar to how you describe. It would be really tricky to have them on the same subnet, especially if you want a firewall between them.

FWIW, I use the VLAN approach. I have a VLAN (101) specifically for IoT shit. The firewall allows devices on other VLANs - general purpose (104), infrastructure (102) and servers (103) to connect in to 101, but nothing can reach out. Works seamlessly. The only issue you might bump into is that some devices use UPnP/mDNS for discovery, but OpenWRT has a proxy module you can install to facilitate that.

You may be wondering why the tags I use for my VLANs are so odd. I also wonder that sometimes.

How long does the enbiggenining process take? Instant, fair enough, but what if it takes a few seconds? Those are seconds you could have spent on the bean.

You also need to use the real remote to block GB News (or FOX, etc).

“The good news is that we were able to deflouce the liberellapop from your upper guttyworks and it was a clean removal. The bad news, I’m afraid, is that we found some graspellies and blongongs in your drivelbox and signs of borpus… normally we’d start treatment but I’m afraid they’re quite advanced and… look, I’m sorry, but you have the pleb and… it’s johnternus.”

Comic Sans was hand-crafted, technically excellent, highly legible and served it’s purpose perfectly. The only thing it has in common with this shite is that people used it for fucking e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g.

Comic Sans was - is - a frigging superb font. It was destroyed by being abused.

People talk about the legacy of the floppy disk (mid-eighties to mid-aughts) being used as a save icon, but drive letters are even more extreme - and absurd - than that.

CP/M came out in 1974 and introduced drive letters A: and B: for floppy drives, and Microsoft copied that for DOS and the early DOS-based versions of Windows. Microsoft finally killed off the DOS lineage with Windows Me in 2000, so that was 26 years of drive letters actually being part of the OS’ architecture.

Windows NT came out in 1993 - 19 years after CP/M - and didn’t use drive letters but for the sake of backwards compatibility and familiarity it would emulate them. All versions of Windows since 2000 are based on NT. So we had 26 years of drive letters being needed, and 33 years of faking it for consistency.

Yeah, like how it’s dumb for kids to not know about dialling rotary phones, manually tuning in a TV with a knob, being afraid of burning themselves of the incandescent bulb in their bedside lamp or rewinding a VHS tape before ejecting it from the VCR.

Your name is an anagram of “go, dragomen”.

I was worried for a second that he was talking about the musician and I was like, “ah, fuck, I liked The Joker”. Anyway, yes, agreed.

…so she’s a bull in bed, presumably?

Track point navigation is a myth.

A friend of mine lives in Vermont. He told me about a house that used to give our little black-and-white comics full of Republican-flavour Christian propaganda that were so bad he actually thought they were parody. But, yeah, fuck all that shit. If it doesn’t make your spit hurt, what’s the point?

Someone else posted this but then deleted their comment despite it being shocking relevant.

Everything is a drum.

Exactly what I thought of, one of our boys’ best works. Also, be careful of those tracking numbers in your YouTube links.
