yup, opiates to be specific.

somewhat relevant xkcd what-if: https://what-if.xkcd.com/157/

yeah, thats one of the reasons why most tech support hotlines are less than helpful when you are running linux (except basic configuration data) - the amount of different systen configurations, UI’s and versions you can run into is just too big. Windows had at the most 5 different concurrent versions in the wild (Win98/ME/NT/2000/XP was the maximum i encountered in the same timeframe, and the NT’s were occurring once in blue moon)

thanks, I didn’t know anything at all about his daughter (after reading your comment) and found this pretty good article/interview with her.

Thanks man, the ublock filter in the first link works like a charm :-)

I fucked my “clicker” up with too large portions, which expanded my stomach over the years. i was NEVER satiated, because i had no way of filling my stomach up. I was always hungry. In the end and after many years of fighting my massive overweight i went for an stomach bypass. If someone tells you that this is the easy way out: they are full of shit. You have to relearn eating, and 1) that really sucks and 2) that was exactly what i needed, No more feeling hungry is a blessing.

even bluetooth has pairing issues to this day lol

but i agree, bluetooth range and reliability has improved tremendously in the last years.

we cant rule that out yet! maybe someone played CoD on the way down, but the high latency made them ragequit, causing a high-quality, robust controller to be accelerated fiercly, piercing the crappy hull.

It was not the train manufacturer, but a body shop (Swoboda Karosserie- und Stahlbau GesmbH, now Carvatech), which was recruited by the Gletscherbahn Kaprun (GBK) for renovations. It might have not had so large repercussions if anyone of the actors during those renovations had done his job correctly tho:

• the model chosen was for household use and chosen because the recommended fan heater was unavailable
• other departments of Swoboda (and because of that, everyone else) were not informed about this change, even leading to sending out the documentation of the recommended fan heater to GBK
• the fan heater was mounted in a way that allowed liquids to leak inside of it
• it was mounted directly in front of the hydraulics, which contained flammable liquids
• those hydraulics were redone during the renovations by Mannesmann-Rexroth AG (now Bosch Rexroth AG), and were done using plastic pipes and were not appropriately encased.
• They started melting because of the malfunctioning heater, spraying flammable oil at 190 bar into the fire
• the dropping oil pressure caused the train to automatically break
• but the hydraulics were also needed to open the goddamn doors.

On top of all that, because the cable cars were made of aluminium, they were deemed inflammable. This did not take into account that any installed equipment or passengers and their luggage might NOT be fireproof.

This lead to: no fire exits, no emergency signage, no training for employees how to react in case of fire. (which might have saved a lot of people: the 12 survivors were the people who went downwards, passing the fire, because they listened to a fireman onboard the cable car.)

it was a single malfunctioning heater, but the Kaprun disaster had many fathers.

I found a nice paper regarding the different actors written by a student of the University of Virginia here, well sourced.

No, but it supports wireless using 2.4ghz with an usb receiver. it does not support a wired connection at all.

Main features: … Continued support for NPAPI plugins like Silverlight, Adobe Flash and Java

Picture this in your minds eye: a Windows 7 machine running a browser with still working Flash and Java plugins, connected to the internet in 2024.

what do you see?

i see a flourishing ecosystem of worms, viruses and rootkits, all trying to be the one species to get to be the one who does the most damage to the prey species, the common user.

GLaDOS would NEVER associate with a chump like Musk.

same here. the last optical drive i had was used to rip my girlfriends dvd collection about 12 years ago. all still here on hunks of spinning rust if needed, but the space consuming load of dvds went to the flea market.

My Plex share doesn’t care lol

The way the industry is pulling the screws tighter and tighter is just ugly to watch, and it’s hard not to be caught out.

That gave a really nice overview for someone who hasn’t had to dabble in IPV6 yet, thanks!

i referred to this part of your post - the addon does not add filter lists but skips GDPR Cookie dialogs by denying all. you can install it from addons.mozilla.org

please use “I still don’t care about cookies”, the original one has been bought by Avast, who in turn belong to Gen Digital, owner of AVG, Norton and Avira - not the most trustworthy names anymore.
