  Omg, I forgot about Goncharov! Such a good movie.

  I’m playing XCOM: The Bureau (2013) right now on an 6700K (2015). Why touch a running system. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There was a time when everyone had common sense⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The joke to counter “you can’t even write cursive” and other boomer bs is “well at least I know how to print a PDF”, alluding to the abysmal tech intuition of some boomers, usually those in controlling roles like managers or CEOs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There was a time when everyone had common sense⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d make a “print a pdf” joke, but honestly, that’s already an unnecessary “skill”.

  Sadly, technology has moved towards single finger usability and thrown out features in the process. Printing a PDF is now easy, because there’s a big button (that sells you a cloud subscription for some reason), but it’s also the only thing the app does.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Too dumb to understand where the gas tank opening is⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been practicing driving with a person who shouldn’t drive. She has no feeling for the car, i. e. doesn’t understand how you would correct your position, drive in reverse etc., and it feels like she’s asleep with her eyes open. Imo driving is a constant stream of decisions and she just doesn’t make any. “Why are we driving here?” - “I’ve been looking for somewhere to turn around.” - “We’re passing suitable locations every 3 seconds and you’re going 50.” - “I can’t decide in time which to use.”

  She’s afraid to go the speed limit, highways are off limits. The other day she just straight up drove out into an intersection from a yield side without breaking and stopped in the middle. I warned her it was coming, there were signs and everything. She doesn’t know the speed limit when it’s always very clearly signed. She doesn’t read directions and can’t navigate by herself; “if I say nothing, go straight, or right if straight is not an option” is forgotten after 5 minutes. She’s been driving with an instructor (which I am not) for 20 lessons and we’ve gone at least ten times, too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The steam mobile app telling me to open the steam module app to login to the steam mobile app .⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Reset password via email. Reset second factor via email. Email is the only factor, neither password nor the 2fa.

  Usually, the actual login is not the easiest target for an attacker, the recovery methods are. You call a helpline to get a second SIM for SMS codes. You guess (or dig up) answers to recovery questions if available. You get access to email accounts, e. g. via phishing.

  If a recovery path for a security factor is weak, it ceases to be a security factor. By allowing both password and the second factor to be recoverable via email, both factors collapse into one: get access to the email and you’re in.

  People only think about extremes. Why do we need seatbelts on a plane? Well, not for the crash, for the tons of turbulence you don’t think about because you’re wearing your seatbelt when they happen.

  I completely failed that course. I don’t know what they mean or how to use them.

  I never needed them. Guess it’s “when will we ever use geometry in real life” but with EM fields and waves.

  I don’t think it’s most people. I (choose to) believe that’s a loud minority.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the word "expat" a thing?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve always interpreted it as someone who’s here only temporarily. They plan to go back eventually and as such stick to expat social groups with similar issues for e. g. temp permits as opposed to permanent permits for immigrants.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dear Americans, be prepare to get screwed!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Even if, did they think prices would just stay the same? Tariffs only work if production is moved back home, which for many industries won’t happen, which means costs will be passed on to consumers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon doesn't tip⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a tax thing. If tips aren’t part of the food price, they’re not part of revenue and not taxable. If they are, assuming same compensation as tips would generate, taxes would be higher.

  I say put that on the food price. It’s a few cents to the dollar difference. Plus, variations in revenue shouldn’t be a thing an employee should worry about. And obviously it would do away with the whole bartering at the checkout.
