  “Bugfixes and performance improvements”

  I see that one all the from big companies because it sounds nice and tells you nothing.

  One of those updates a few years included embedding adware. So, thanks for that… jackhole

  I forget that there are large centrifuges (somebody posted about Stuxnet further down).

  Or, more accurately, I’m more familiar with the small ones (ThermoFisher calls them “Mini” and “Micro” centrifuges) for ~0.5mL samples and I had a hard time thinking that those would blow out a room. But the same link (ThermFisher) that I looked at to find the names also specifies 17,000g and 21,000g models which is just… fucking insane. I knew they spun fast, I didn’t know they spun 21,000g’s fast. Learn something new every day.

  I thought it was the same thing in the first frame : D

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wobble wobble⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s awesome… And also funny that it had to be added. Thanks for the info!

  I still want to know what happens on an old one without vibration detection or if it was “broken”. I assume something like an unbalanced washing machine but on a smaller scale? It just going out for a stroll :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wobble wobble⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  First frame isa centrifuge that spins samples at high speed to separate the components in them (I think that’s the purpose, not a scientist).

  I hear that if it’s unbalanced, bad things happen, because you’re not spinning an unbalanced rotor at high speeds.

  I honestly was coming to check the comments to see if anyone had experience with it so I could ask how bad it is.

  I just referred to the BOFH in class last week.

  … Nobody caught the reference but it made me happy.

  A web interface? Is the keyboard running a webserver or is it remotely managed by the manufacturers website?

  I’m confused about configuring keyboards via web app.

  I replayed it on Deck a month or two back… And then Blue Shift. Still in my library from when I bought the Orange Box pre steam and then eventually registered it with my steam account

  Hey, it’s me. I contacted support and got a list of info they needed to fix it. I responded with that info and got a reply from a different person with a list of info they needed to fix it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Threw a wrestling watch party, made special food, and was very disappointed in the outcome.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel your pain.

  Years ago I threw a party for work friends and acquaintances where I had 30 confirmed and 10 tentative (from calendar invite). I bought a variety of drinks (alcoholic and non) and bought/cooked food for about 50 to ensure there was plenty.

  … 4 people showed up.

  That was the instant that I stopped giving a fuck. Ever since then I’ve adopted the approach of “I’m going to do something, you can come if you want, but I’m not planning for you”. Or, more commonly, I just don’t organize anything :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People on Tik Tok peddling these scams⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It was weird that it needed my social security number, bank account, mother’s maiden name, and the name of my first pet to make the order but I guess it was worth it to stay healthy. Thanks bud!

  O, and tell Derek I said hey.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People on Tik Tok peddling these scams⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re supposed to put a link to where we can buy your miracle vinegar/silver mix in your post. Have you learned nothing from these marketing geniuses?

  It has to be human liver though. The alcohol will know if you try to trick it with other types.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the least suspicious way to get OTC meds through airport security?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been carrying around multiple little baggies of pills in my backpack for years and over 20+ flights, several international, they’ve never asked.

  Some are separated but loose in the bag (ibuprofen, cetirizine, diphenhydramine, from a bottle), and some were trimmed to minimum size from a blister pack and placed in the bag.

  They focus a lot more closely on my headphones, charging cables, battery packs, etc.

  So whatever is most convenient for you, in my opinion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Knife vs. Gun Control?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on the state. Down here there are pretty much zero restrictions except with an asterisk that it’s illegal to harm someone with them… AKA, an extra charge of you’re a dick and stab someone.

  I’ve been carrying an “out the front automatic” for the last few years.
