When I read it, it stirred a distant memory of hearing such a story before, so I knew that there was something behind it and looked it up.

You could just about play speech using one bit output using pulse-width-modulation. But it was almost unrecognizable. And would take a lot of memory for the time.
It was usual to have different numbers of beeps for POST errors.
But this was an age when a PC would say “Keyboard error. Press any key to continue”, so things were not thought out that well.
That probably wasn’t a virus.
Or like when Meet went away, but Talk in Gmail was renamed Meet and Duo also became corporate Meet.
Or something like that. Maybe Allo was involved.

What’s needed is an online 2fa service that just takes a username and copies the code to the clipboard.

They stuck him in a glass case in a museum.
I find it really frustrating to not have a touchscreen on a laptop (e.g. scrolling and zooming Google maps).
I don’t understand what I’m getting for the price difference compared to a similar windows laptop.
I don’t like how the Ctrl/Fn/Alt/Cmd keys are used, but that’s just because I’m used to Windows. (Remapping then doesn’t help because commands are divided differently been those modifiers).
I do like that it has a native bash shell instead of having WSL with its separate filesystem. But I doubt that that is a common reason people choose macs.
Is it not possible to switch back? I refused the Gemini offer when it appeared.
I was tempted to try it if it appeared again, but I need assistant to perform basic functions more than I need it to have a conversation.
Also useful for testing links that might only work if signed in.
For instance, if I share a link to a OneDrive file, will it force the receiver to sign up with Microsoft before they can view the file.
The distinction that I’m concerned about is that this isn’t a charge from the repair company, it’s a fee decided by the rental company. Unrelated to the cost of the repair.
It wasn’t an invented example, the figures I gave are what they tell me they will bill me for any repair that’s needed.
So thank you for clarifying, but I don’t think that I’m musunderstanding what an excess is. I’m just wondering if the excess protection would still cover these arbitrary charges from the _rental company.
I know that it is to cover the excess of damage costs.
I’m asking if they would only pay “reasonable” repair costs if the rental company charges me 1 or 2 thousand for just a large scratch, for instance, which is what Enterprise tell me that they do. (It’s usually £1000 but was £2000 when I had a larger vehicle).
When I rent in the UK they always tell my that each incident will incur a fixed penalty (e.g. large scratch: £1000, damaged windscreen: £1000) presumably to cover loss of earnings on the vehicle, but also to pressure me into purchasing excess protection.
So I wonder if having the extra insurance would cover these “fine” types of charges that are beyond the cost of repair.
I’ve seen Proton services mentioned so much here and in communities such as selfhosted that I went to their website today to check what they offer.
Physical? As in a medical exam with a doctor?
If so you should really have a check up with an eye doctor, there are lots of eye health tests that you should regularly get beyond checking that you can read a chart at a distance.
Here is Edward Bear, coming downstairs now, bump, bump, bump, on the back of his head, behind Christopher Robin. It is, as far as he knows, the only way of coming downstairs, but sometimes he feels that there really is another way, if only he could stop bumping for a moment and think of it.
I think that this captures so much of the human condition.
I always have to look at this one after that.
