Wait they’re talking on the phone in the classroom during a lecture? That’s messed up. I can’t say I’ve encountered that either of the times I’ve gone to college.
Maybe you could pull the individual aside after a class that they’ve disrupted and ask them nicely to step out of they get an important call? Then of course if that doesn’t help you could escalate by speaking with the instructor about your concern

At least you didn’t accidentally quote Hammerhead
“So you can all hide behind your desks now And you can cry teacher come help me Through you all, my aim is true”
Brilliant song and it’s cool hearing Dexter perform unclean vocals but also it can be too easily interpreted as aggrandizing school shootings

I mean in a situation where you truly can do nothing, giving the masses something to do at least makes them feel slightly less powerless
Also duck and cover would have been effective for some of the earliest nuclear bombs, just not the ones developed a few years later

In college you’re all adults who are there by choice to learn. But also many students are fresh out of highschool so it’s a fine line colleges have to walk between respecting ones rights and keeping the student body in order (and not letting the bad decisions of individuals become the reputation of the institution)
Adults can make a decision about if a phone call is important or not, if they need to dip out early or not, etc.
But yeah it’s kinda wild the hard shift in responsibility from being a minor to being an adult and ideally there’d be better transition for kids as they cross that bridge

When I was in school smartphones were kinda a thing but it was still early iPhone/Android days. The general practice was a powered off phone on one’s person is fine, but phones that are in use/ringing could be confiscated for the remainder of the period. I think that was because the school didn’t have a good method to handle too many confiscated phones in a day

My wife had a doctor literally walk out of the room when she mentioned in addition to the abdominal pain she was having post-c-section she also had had a period non stop for 3 months straight. Y’know because she mentioned her period

Oh I saw something where they demonstrated there’s zero security to BIMI, so it’s just a B2B scam to invent a new thing to charge their business customers for. I’ll see if I can find it

Honestly I just want some ideas for mixing up my style. I’m jealous of my wife and daughter for all of the fun dresses and jewelry and whatnot they can do but masculine outfits don’t really allow for many options

That’s fair, and if you’re buying and have the choice, getting 7th gen or newer would be absolutely ideal
I think suggesting a system with a GPU before there’s a need for a GPU (especially when one could be added later) is a bit over the top though. Especially since local AI is kinda niche within homelabbers and media en/decoding can be done on the iGPU (and realistically for Jellyfin everything should ideally be direct-play since so much quality is lost with the real-time transcoding, so it shouldn’t be hit too hard for what transcoding does occur
Of course I say this all with my home server running off a 4th gen i5 and Jellyfin configured for GPU accelerated transcode on the iGPU. I’m sure it would be better on a better CPU and GPU but meh

My theory was that they make licensing intentionally obtuse to make more from both companies buying more licenses than they need to protect themselves during audits and from companies failing to understand correct licensing and getting caught in an audit

- Comment on Minecraft confuses me 1 week ago:
As a parent with a 5 year old, Minecraft has been very educational for her. She’s learned some brilliant spelling and keyboard skills, building hand-eye coordination, etc. plus Minecraft can be limited to just single player or private servers (I have a private server setup just for my family for example) so they won’t be interacting with inappropriate content or unvetted individuals

I think the not knowing how to parent part was a joke. Parenting is always figuring out how to navigate whatever new problem your kids are having, and if your kids are playing Minecraft together they definitely have an parenting experience mediating in-game disputes

Why CUDA? I don’t see any services listed that would benefit at all from a GPU, and even if they later spun up a Jellyfin or similar that can always be mapped to the integrated GPU.
Better to start with something cheap and imperfect to learn what you actually need then upgrade from there

It’s a direct reference to At The Mountains of Madness. The penguins make exactly that call in the book and are friendly with the Ancient Ones, and really only present in the story while the humans are in the domain of the Ancient Ones.
Although the choice of showing Cthulhu in the final panel rather than one of the Ancient Ones is inaccurate. Perhaps it’s meant to be a sculpture, since in Call of Cthulhu it was made clear that Cthulhu was specifically the shaman of the ancient ones, meant to wake them when the time is right
Anyways I’d highly recommend reading the stories since they’re quite a unique style and dripping with a mounting, growing intensity. You can even listen on LibriVox. Call of Cthulhu is about an hour long and At The Mountains of Madness is about 4.5 hours long, so one decent car trip’s worth of audiobook basically

LLMs have been trained so heavily on Linux documentation that you can even have it hallucinate a Linux terminal at you!

The “support” most importantly includes security updates. You better bet every hacking group has been working at finding fresh zero days for Windows 10 and is stockpiling them to start hammering any PCs that can’t be upgraded this October

Sounds like you’re vaguely describing a ground effect vehicle, basically a plane which coasts along the water. They’re more efficient than actually flying due to exploiting the ground effect on the lift surfaces, but ultimately it’s closer to a plane than a boat
