I'd pay top dollar for an adblocker that would replace ads with "They Live" references

Folks are already walking (and driving, which is more scary) in a daze, glued to their doomscrolling rectangles

This is probably PEBCAK, but I can't figure out how to capture an island

I can totally see Internet availabilit correlating with the rise of unwanted stuff in the install. Believe it started with 3rd party games being part of the OS at first. I don't recall the yes/maybe later dialog "options" in win8 though, at least not in the beginning.

I actually really liked the win8 start menu change and the live tiles, even wrote some tiny homegrown apps with them. My logic was always "if I am opening the start menu, I will want to interact with that menu and only it until it's closed", so having it fullscreen made sense.

Moving 15 years back puts you into glory Win7 days. IIRC, the spam started with win8 which was released ~13 years ago and was very mild at first

Same, I had reasonable success with LLM-generated OpenSCAD files fed into prusa slicer. Just needs a few manual tweaks for spatial transforms from time to time.

How would one know though by just looking at the device? I have chassis that came with Intel 11th gen, but the brainboxery, keyboard, battery, touchpad -- all have been swapped over time.

Maybe the thought process is that leak would effectively be pressure normalizing over a larger area and more gradually than creating a tiny hole, so whatever I said about jet ignition would not be applicable

Shooting holes in pressurized vessels with explosive stuff is probably a very bad idea, as outlined in my comment[1]. Slowly loosening a valve is a better idea.

That being said, in no way, shape or form am I an authority on the subject.

Quick googling sez that liquid nitrogen might solidify the MMA inside, turning it into even more of a pressure cooker

IIUC, the stuff inside is polymerizing, turning into goop that gummed everything up. It was probably not goop when used for the original purpose

Inb4: I don't work in the industry, my knowledge is limited to a faint memory of a college course on fluid dynamics.

If I recall correctly, high pressure ignitable stuff can spontaneously turn !!FUN!! in absence of heat if it is suddenly relieved through a pinhole. Basically jet is followed by a ring-like zone where the stuff mixes with oxygen. Jet creates tiny zones of very high temp, thus igniting the mixture ring that follows.

Modern cars sometimes have telematic units running off dedicated lithium ion batteries, so killing main battery might not do anything

There's no way to read this without hearing Scottish accent. It's like a sleeper agent activation phrase.

There is US exported media that just randomly becomes popular in a specific demographic. Case in point: Adventures of Ford Fairlane, a flick with Andrew Dice Clay that got a razzie the year it came out. IIRC it got a cult following in Norway because the voice over was done by a popular radio DJ.

A tiny "By entering the area you consent to being recorded" sign oughta cover that.

I got an Epson TM-T88IIIP for about 40 bucks used. The whole line seems to have decent Linux drivers

WHOIS sez it was just registered, registrar is NameCheap. Uses Cloudflare DNS. .bot domain hosted on Vercel. There is a link to .ai domain with similar info.

Certificate transparency logs list everything as brand new.

Cursory glance at other Nvidia domains shows Safenames ltd as their registrar of choice.

Seems a bit sketchy

I usually use English to talk to Gemini, but the other day I wanted to try and find out the original band of a Siberian punk song that I have carried around in my music collection since time immemorial. Problem is the tags are all over the place in this genre and there are situations where "Foo-Bar" and "Foobar" are two completely different bands. Gemini was clearly trained on some genre forums from late 90s which are... shall I say non-PC by any stretch of the term.

In the middle of the conversation it randomly switched from English to Russian and clearly struggled to maintain the tone imposed by the built-in prompt.
