Smart is a British term for looking sharply dressed, etc. Like “Oi, Lad, don’t you look smart with the new 'aircut”

You want that distinct crunch as you force the RAM in with a mallet

w7 EOL was my push, so you may be right

Given the mileage I would assume an old civic; back when they had double-wishbone front suspension still…they drove like a dream back then

But then it wouldn’t be funny on the interwebs

Maybe that has changed https://www.theregister.com/2023/05/31/us_border_phone_search/

Reread your title dipshift

Containers are great to keep OS separate from apps, but VPN seems pretty integral to OS, so I don’t see an issue using rpm-ostree. Containers often prove challenging because of not being able to get permission or share data between apps ( on purpose )

It has already happened in Vancouver area, people commute in from Chilliwack to afford a home

In Britsh Columbia, Canada we get 5 Personal Emergency days as paid leave, and 3 PEL unpaid. For somebody in generally good health this is more than adequate, for somebody with health issues you would have to go to doc and get short term disability leave for extended days off

Paying for commute time for regular workers is not going to happen, for many many decades you getting to work is your own issue…thus why we find a place near highway access or near transit. asking a company to pay travel means they will just hire somebody that lives close by

Same, my manager contacts me a handful of times throughout the year, the rest of the time he trusts I’m doing what I am tasked to do. We had a company wide meeting at head office requiring travel for everyone, the schedule was on my kid’s birthday. I conveyed that I would be missing the bday, and they shifted meeting a few days to accommodate. Not all corporations are heartless slave drivers

Memory Unlocked. We had moved into a house that had an old 60s tube radio built into the wall, it was broken, but my dad went through steps to sort out the issues and pulles a few tubes out. I recall the door with the chart of valve types.
The radio/amp sounded great once fixed. It had these two luninous stripes that you watched as you dialed in a radio station. It was a tuning aid. you tried to get the lines as close as possible to know you had matched a frequency, but if you over dialed the stripes dissapated, and you had to scroll back a bit.

There is still old equipment that needs repair, and radio shops restoring old equipment for audiophiles…so I can see these holding value

Your own link says he was ok saying it as is. While Berliner is a donut it also is someone from Berlin.

Yep, i agree. patents are stupid, but not everyone is convinced of open sourcing everything

While that is an option for anyone, its not something I wanted. Mine is cube with 200mm fan. The lowest setting is fine for the thermals, but if I’m video processing I will toggle to high, but for voice over or a phone call comes in I drop it down low. The random up and down of the fan if left to its own device creates a noise I don’t want to deal with.

Lol. It is. Before my first coffee.

I have 2 of these. One gives perfect results, one seems to drop off after lots of data transfer. They look alnoat identical, but one is name brand and ine ia probaboy a cheap chinese copy. Wiring is probably sub-par
