This seems performative since you could already do this easily unless the drive was bitlockered and you didn’t have a recovery key.

Celebrity gossip headlines and weather for a place you went on a business trip last year.

There’s a reason I still use lots of email in the age of IM. Permanent records, please. I will email a record of in person convos or chats on stuff like this. I do it politely and professionally, but I do it.

I have had numerous managers tell me there was no time for QA in my storied career. Or documentation. Or backups. Or redundancy. And so on.

Leg warmers are back.

I was thinking that. The first time I saw this I didn’t look closely and thought “yes, this is pretty much how I remember it, except I’d be scared that guy was going to ash out his cigarette in my burger and slap me on the back of the head as he leaves because he’s probably one of my cousins”.

I’ll just divert all my calls and texts to my wife’s phone and have my son handle all my administrative tasks. I’m also refusing to check email before noon and I decline meetings because they are not productive.

Hang on, my wife just told me my boss says I no longer have to work at all now!

Do you think an LLM can beat you in tic tac toe?

People are having a really hard time understanding that, yes, he is facing consequences at long last. The next step is seeing if the RNC will foot the bill.

Hey, it’s been a really long time since I had to reboot windows to change my IP. /s

I would have accepted a Garfield phone.

Sealed Illy coffee can for storage and excellent for drying out a phone with a moisture alert on the charging connection. You are probably correct about stuff that is thoroughly soaked but that’s not what I use it for as that scenario doesn’t seem to arise for me. I did once use this system to dry out my wife’s phone that was not working after our toddler dropped it into a bucket or something and it was fine for a couple years after but I’m guessing gaskets prevented any moisture from getting too far since we pulled it out immediately.

For years, I’ve saved every silica packet in a coffee can. I stopped a while ago since I have a liter of them and the can is full.

Works great for drying things out.

I realize this is the advice in the article but wanted to point out that they build up quickly and come in just about everything that isn’t food these days.

I think it’s also very acceptable to have full time contractors on the payroll with no end date for the same reason.

He lost me so I’m all in.

Still waiting to hear how blockchain factors in

You are correct and it drives people crazy. Just consider, though, that people were saying that the web allowing anyone to publish their views as fact would undermine the averages person’s ability to know what is true. It kind of did.

I don’t have a hot take. I agree with you. But I also think this will change things in ways we don’t fully understand yet.

“we can hide your leak for a modest subscription fee”, probably
