Yesterday was Thursday, Thursday. Today it is Friday, Friday!

Banning CFCs went pretty well too

There used to be a bar on the right-hand side that showed how far each day’s Reddit Gold purchases had gone towards covering the day’s server costs.

There were always people costs too, and plenty of others. Breaking even on infrastructure doesn’t stop the bleed of the venture capital. And investors do expect a return.

You don’t need solid state storage for Linux ISOs

That would make it the most precise military strike of all time.

Pretty sure that honor still goes to the R9X Slap Chop. The pager explosions, on the other hand, injured thousands.

The Bill of Rights (amendments 1-10) specifically addressed debate over ratification of the Constitution.

It’s a wonder that someone hasn’t implemented a similar wrapper for WDDM. I suppose they’d rather force the vendors to play nicely.

He thinks it’s okay to make up harmful stories because the late night comedians won’t leave the couch thing alone. What a maroon.

Works great under the nails though

This thing costs about the same as one good set of nails

Moving down the stack, Unix systems have never been big on supporting arbitrary drivers: remember that Unix systems were typically coupled to specific machines and vendors. NT, on the other hand, intended to be an OS for “any” machine and was sold by a software company, so supporting drivers written by others was critical. As a result, NT came with the Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS), an abstraction to support network card drivers with ease. To this day, manufacturer-supplied drivers are just not a thing on Linux, which leads to interesting contraptions like the ndiswrapper, a very popular shim in the early 2000s to be able to reuse Windows drivers for WiFi cards on Linux.

Raising Cane’s is conspicuously absent from that chart. A Box Combo went up 61% over that time period.

Nobody:

Crowdstrike:

Sysadmin here. Wtf are you talking about? All we did was “rapidly fix the issue by disabling Crowdstrike module.” Or really, just the one bad file. We were back online before most people even woke up.

What do you think Crowdstrike can do from their end to stop a boot loop?

The monospaced version is the best terminal font I’ve ever used. I can find information on the screen way faster.

Just because thing, [that] doesn’t mean other thing.

You can’t even prove that it’s grammatically incorrect!

But it sounds awful. And I can’t even come up with an alternative.

That’s what they just said. It should have been fixed 124 years ago.

I was going to recommend Chromecast Audio, but Google killed that.

Google Home Mini might be a good alternative. You can actually pair it via Bluetooth to an external speaker. Then you can cast directly to it.

It would have been BackTrack Knoppix back then. And even that wasn’t released until 2000.
