You just need to be careful that the supplies’ outputs are completely isolated from mains. Otherwise you’ll end up with a lovely spark show.

Even then, anyone can use inspect element to make it look like it says whatever you want.

Probably not. If a virus is too deadly, it kills its hosts before it can spread. That’s why SARS didn’t turn into a pandemic.

Funny enough, a number of years ago a giant 4chan archive surfaced which included a lot of the very first SCP posts that had been lost. It actually confirmed that 173 was posted after Blink aired, meaning it was almost certainly inspired by the episode. Not that it makes the SCP worse, but it’s some interesting lore.

Perhaps, but Nintendo also seems happy to let people forget that the Wii U ever existed. Also, they seem to not care as much about non-piracy/CFW releated hardware mods- take the 3DS capture card as an example, AFAIK it was never targeted by Nintendo since it very clearly was not meant to facilitate piracy.

They don’t really need to associate it with a specific person (although I’m sure they’d love to)- they can get plenty of data just within the context of what a single person buys in their store.

Funny enough, I don’t think Wario and Waluigi are ever said to be siblings. Waluigi just kinda… showed up to a tennis match one day and then stuck around.

The funny thing is that standard human operating temperature is much closer to the coldest you can get than to the hottest. Absolute zero, when all thermal motion stops and it’s literally impossible to get any colder by definition, is only -273.15°C. We can reach it fairly easily, and we know that weird stuff does happen at low temperatures such as Bose-Einstein Condensates, but the universe really can’t cool a few orders of magnitude- there isn’t that much more cooling for it to do.

I highly doubt it. The NES has been completely reverse engineered for decades, there really isn’t any reason to use proprietary code for an emulator for it.

They don’t actually provide decryption keys, the user has to either extract them from their own Switch or find them elsewhere online. However, it could be argued by Nintendo that using an unreleased game ROM for testing proves that the devs themselves were guilty of piracy, and were therefore somehow condoning the use of their emulator for piracy.

Either way, we won’t know how well Nintendo’s arguments would have held up in court, because the devs settled rather than fight it out.

It was a settlement. The devs decided, for reasons that are not public, that it would be easier to just pay Nintendo some money and take down the emulator than to fight them in court. It’s very possible (even likely) that they figured it would be more expensive to fight Nintendo’s lawyers than to just pay a fixed amount up front.

Uhh, you know that the guy in the article is quadriplegic, right? He literally can’t use his fingers.

First, the IRS is doing a pilot of it’s new Direct File program, which is free. Not everyone qualifies but it’s worth checking: directfile.irs.gov

If you don’t qualify, FreeTaxUSA.com is what I’ve always used. It’s dead simple, especially if you don’t have any weird tax situations like investment properties or inheritance or anything. It’s $15 for state taxes, but federal taxes are free.

I have a 500/500 fiber connection, so generally a torrent download is the only thing that can actually make use of the entire capacity. So, I usually cap download speeds at 350Mbps as to not choke out the rest of my devices, but I leave upload uncapped because it never reaches high enough to have a noticable effect.

No, whales are being driven crazy by things like massive container ships and oil drilling rigs. Somehow he got the symptoms correct but flipped around the cause. The question is, is he being an idiot or intentionally malicious?

I mean, they never claimed it was to protect users. It was to protect their user’s data from being used without paying Reddit. They didn’t like that AI companies were using Reddit content as a free source of training data, they never gave a shit about their users’ privacy.

Napoleon tried to do decimal/metric time (10 hours a day, 100 seconds a minute, etc), but it didn’t catch on. Probably because both 24 and 60 are “highly composite numbers”, which means they’re divisible more ways than any numbers smaller than them. 10 isn’t divisible by 3 or 4 or 6, which makes it less useful in certain situations. Also, “megaseconds” and “gigaseconds” are way too big to be useful measures of time on human scales.

And an ad blocker. Always an ad blocker.

I wouldn’t expect much sound, water is very dense so only very low frequencies can effectively travel through it. From the pictures, this thing doesn’t seem big enough to make much of an impact in that regard. As for marine life, it would probably be a matter of how fast it travels underwater, which the article unfortunately doesn’t mention.

Okay so genuine question from someone who’s used various distros for all sorts of things over the years, just never as a daily driver. What sorts of things have caused your revulsion towards Windows? Aside from Microsoft’s bullcrap like Alexa or MS Store ads which can all be disabled, I’ve personally never had enough of a problem with Windows that justified the effort required to move away from it. And I would consider myself a power user who loves to customize things.

Again, I just want to genuinely understand what sorts of problems people have that cause them to hate using Windows that much, even if they’re just subjective things.
