Gotta disable UPNP to commit to this specific strategy …

They are wannabe paid folks, and scammers.

Just as likely that red sliver at the end was the traffic created by his intentional usage of the phone all-along. Telemetry and ads are just that gross, but what do I know?

That was 20 years ago. Few, if any of those employees would still be with the company today. “Knowing” means nothing to the passage of time, particularly in the tech sector.

No they’re not. IBM sold the brand and supply chain off. Not sure how many employees were kept, transfered, or axed, but the concensus has long been that it wasn’t enough to justify your claim.

Not enough for them to ever come close to impimenting enough checks server-side, or take competitive or transactional multiplayer cloud-only, but also magically enough for them to demand the ability to install back-doors and malware on our PC’s.

It’s just magical like that yo, they ain’t gotta explain shit. How dare you ask for answers or for them to respect your privacy, cheater?

That’s the funniest shit I’ve read all-day. Imagine being that ignorant, down to biting the hand that feeds.

Doesn’t help both sides treat it as an all-or-nothing affair, and that “with parental consent” bit does a lot of heavy lifting, by which I mean, to make the status-quo extra stupid.

Slap the same age-parity restrictions on it as age-of-consent laws, toss that parents-consenting-on-behalf-of-their-spawn crap in the garbage bin, and … well, the stupid articles will at least have different questions to ask?

Personally, I’m pro-emancipation, and see this as an important part of that conversation, but both sides of the aisle would rather infantilize young (white)adults until the age of 26(or older …), so what do I know?

Yes, banning super-intelligence that doesn’t justifiably hate us is an amazingly great idea.

Have you considered a table-top reciprocating saw like the Worx Bladerunner? Personally, I would rather go that route only if it took sawzall blades, but its an option.

On the other end of the spectrum, you could always slap a worktable on a portable bandsaw, like Blondihacks does. She shows how to make one here, but there are a lot of options on the market.

Personally, I put a WEN portable bandsaw on such a stand. I went with the corded version for the price, power, and variable speed. If you look at the reviews, the only complaint I recall seeing is that its “heavy”. I’ve got it on a stand, on a stool that I cut-down to put the table height just-below the height of my saw-horses, and I move it where I want without problem, so “heavy”? Not for my uses.

Lost me at no time-outs, no limits. Most children won’t learn to calm themselves and/or move on if you don’t force them to take a break from whatever it is that has triggered a breakdown in self-control. Don’t even get me started on what happens when you leave kids to their own devices versus sleep, pee breaks, and proper nutrition/hydration.

You should, on higher-resolution monitors, or with high-dpi mice. Indispensible for touchpads, eraser nubs, and trackballs.

It exists on all operating systems, just seemlessly-enough to escape notice. Try turning it off, and you’ll see why.

No skin off my back. Sorry, I honestly wasn’t meaning to call you out personally, beyond maybe, hey, this is how to do this next time.

I may just look into whether I can set this community to ding my notifications for new posts … apparently that’s not a thing in the webUI.

Honestly, I was thinking post-approval by mods would be the best solution, for just that reason. Its why I led with the question about the existance of mods. Obviously too much work if its just the single mod who started the community.

Is there no moderation in this sub? An instance-agnostic link should be the bare minimum, not the exception.

This was in 1922, but yeah, a bad precedent.

Reasons I keep old installer-ISOs, tbh

Never half-ass jury nullification.

The internet absolutely wasn’t safe for kids then, and to say I have doubts that a “kid-safe” internet would have had the same effect on you is to put it mildly. Sanitized and child-safe spaces aren’t what make for capable adults.
