Just a reminder that the guy in charge of the USPS is the same guy as in 2020 when they tried cutting back postal services and decomissioning sorting machines in the run up to the election in “an attempt to be profitable.”

Fast boot is just Windows logging you out of your session, then hibernating.
Sleep is keeping the computer in a low-power state with RAM powered on…
Both of these have been known to result in laptops powering on unbeknownst to their owners to perform updates and remain powered on afterward.
I live nowhere near the tropics. In fact, I live in a place where I could actually see polar bears and arctic foxes if I was so inclined. I like that they exist, but I don’t want them anywhere near me, as specist as that may sound.
How much you wanna bet that if this was an artic fox, or polar bear attack, the words inner city would never have appeared in this article…
Ok, that’s fair, but polar bears and arctic foxes aren’t known to frequent the tropics.
Windows by default doesn’t fully power off when you tell it to shut down. It goes into hibernation and keeps the network open for updates and will sometimes power back on to complete these updates.
If you want to fully power off, hold the left shift key when you click shut down. Or turn the power off elsewhere (eg. psu or power bar.) I’m sure there’s another way to do it, or to prevent the behavior entirely.
IIRC Doom didn’t have a skybox per se, just parallax ceiling textures. You could put that texture on floors or ceilings and it would show the sky texture that would not be attached to the walls.
Bamboozled! Foisted! Smeckledorfed!

If you’re looking for a fun Youtube channel to folliw, check out Sorted Food. They do a lot of silly food challenge videos, but a lot of them have some really good lessons for the average know-nothing cook.
There is a link to buy a physical copy if you like.
You know you were gonna have a second serving anyway, may as well just skip the trouble and have both at once.
It’s not the same in French. Héros vs herpès.
Constructive dismissal often still allows collecting unemployment. Possibly even severance in some places.
It’s called constructive dismissal. They’re not technically firing anyone, but they are trying to make the work conditions unfavorable so that people quit. Many places will allow you to get unemployment, and often also severance pay, if you can show that this is what’s happening.
The Arc 7 series GPUs were aimed at gaming. They didn’t generally perform on par with the competition, and there were driver issues at launch. IIRC they just couldn’t run anything DirectX 9 or older, but performed ok on newer games.
I don’t know what the status on them is like now.
Ignorance is not stupidity.
Despite this being reported on tech news, most people won’t even be aware that it’s a thing because most people won’t actually read about it. And the majority of gamers probably don’t even know what a kernel is or why an anti-cheat with elevated privileges would be a bad thing.
Most people buy their computers with Windows preinstalled and probably couldn’t tell you if the CPU is Intel or AMD.
Ice dancing has been an event in the winter Olympics since 1976. Not just figure skating, it’s literally called ice dancing.
I’m partial to “j’encule,” which also would work in that context.
According to the article:
I don’t know what the actual truth of the situation is, but something’s fucky. I can’t imagine how Israel could plant explosives in those pagers. And overheating batteries would burst into flames rather than literally explode, so that would probably be mentioned somewhere.
Israel’s doing lots of fucked up shit lately, but I can’t see how this one would be their fault.
