Maybe you can check the manual if the laptop has a CMOS battery. If it does, you’ll have to take apart the laptop to remove the battery for a few minutes, which will reset all the settings.

Are CMOS batteries still a thing? Removing that and the laptop battery should wipe the BIOS to the default settings

Also in this scene, why was there an empty spot in the grid for the robot to blend into? If it took the place of another robot, what did it do with the remains of the other robot without time. A lot of “don’t think about it too much” in this movie.

Honestly, regardless of their education and experience, if you have this concern about a person, you should get a new roommate, assuming there’s more to your question than just a hypothetical.
All the time, there are shitty significant others who install a keylogger or screen recorder to monitor their spouse, because they’re fucked up. A lot of the time, they don’t have any technical background, and are the equivalent of script kiddies. They do this because they’re shitty people, not because they have a degree in computer science.

Seriously, I’ve had multiple conversations with my BIL where he comes over to me and says something insane, and my response is just “huh okayyy…” and I walk away without saying anything else. I don’t care to be polite anymore.

Agreed with this, but I don’t think it was entirely the point of Destin’s video, as more of his focus was about keeping jobs local to the United States. Unfortunately his bit at the end about companies spending more money for local manufacturing is not how Wall Street works, and that’s all corporations care about. If from a national standpoint, retaining this knowledge is vital to the security of the country, the government should be investing in keeping that production in the countries via tax subsidies or other incentives. Corporations won’t do it on their own if it means less profit for them, and imposing tariffs will just be passed to the citizens with no industrial gain.

What’s the line of self sufficient? I remember a story about a guy who made a BLT sandwich from scratch, it took him 6 months and thousands of dollars. Sure he was self sufficient, but it’s not sustainable to produce 100% of everything yourself. In the Smarter Everyday video, almost everything was supplied from another vendor, and there was no mention on where the raw materials came from to make the parts made in the America. If anything, being able to supply the chain mail from China (via India) allowed the production to be resilient to change.
- Comment on I Tried To Make Something In America (The Smarter Scrubber Experiment) - Smarter Every Day 308 3 weeks ago:
I also watched the whole thing, and have to imagine that a lot of xenophobic stuff was edited out when they found out their chainmail from India was actually from China. That section was so cringe, they had someone on earlier who spoke Chinese, why not ask him what it meant or research some more, than make assumptions and air that lightly filtered.
I get he’s making a point to invest in local manufacturing, but then knowingly having the excess supply of chainmail come from India defeats the point he’s trying to make. Considering the handle for the first 2000 are from costa rica and the excess chainmail after the 2000 units was at least thought to be from India, it seems rare anything being sold is 100% Made in America, yet has a price tag 4x as much.
- Comment on Why do americans assume they invented the internet? 4 weeks ago:
You’re getting a lot of comments correctly pointing out that ARPANET was actually invented by the US in the 1970s and was the precursor to the Internet. I think it’s your question which is phrased incorrectly, and not the point you’re trying to make. Assuming this and rephrasing your question to mean the World Wide Web (not the Internet), you’re correct, that was created by Tim Berners-Lee while working at CERN in the 1990s, approximately 20 years after ARPANET. This brought along Hypertext websites, and basically was another step in the foundation of the internet as we know it today.
So rephrasing your question to “why do americans assume they invented the web (websites)?”, it’s mainly because the underlying infrastructure of the internet was originally developed by the US government, so even before websites existed, domain names were heavily American leaning, with
.govbeing US Government websites, and.edubeing US Universities, etc. Other countries at the time had ccTLD for their country code, like.uk,.au, etc and when it came time to assign domain names, they chose to use.co.ukor.com.aufor example, rather than.com.I assume that americans rarely encounter a
.com.auor other ccTLD domain names, and largely are going to.comwebsites. They probably assume that the.auTLD was tacked on to support Australia because they didn’t invent the internet. - Comment on Lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of the month - this community will be relocating 4 weeks ago:

- Comment on 'What if this doesn't work?' The 'Severance' cast reflects on Season 2's biggest swings 4 weeks ago:
She’s going to be glad she doesn’t have to go through whatever is next alone. Neither Mark nor Helly have any plan, but whatever it is they’re doing it together.
Also that final scene was very similar to the ending of The Graduate, which had the same sort of theme. In both cases, they have no plan and no clue what to do next after running away together.

He voiced John Redcorn for those who don’t want to click through to TMZ:
Joss was the voice of John Redcorn in “King of the Hill.” He also landed a big part in “Parks and Recreation” as Chief Ken Hotate. And he had small roles in TV shows such as “Tulsa King,” “Ray Donovan,” and films like “True Grit” and “The Magnificent Seven.”
- Comment on What's a TV series you've tried repeatedly to get into, but can't? 4 weeks ago:
Maybe it’s a product of its time, but I had a week off in 2009 and went through the first two seasons very quickly that week. IIRC, it being on Netflix in the early days let people binge it and contributed to its success while it was still airing which made it very popular. I’d venture to say it may be one of the first bingeable shows, but because that wasn’t a thing at the time, it didn’t follow the bingeable formula, so maybe that’s why it doesn’t feel like modern bingeable shows?

- Comment on Sesame St is great 5 weeks ago:
More than just upsetting to viewers, the messaging of Snuffleupagus was leading to kids thinking that adults wouldn’t believe them if they were being harmed:
The fear was that if we represented adults not believing what kids said, they might not be motivated to tell the truth. That caused us to rethink the storyline: Is something we’ve been doing for 14 years—that seemed innocent enough—now something that’s become harmful?
