You use a GPU shovel to dig a big AI hole in your lobby so customers fall in before they reach your business.

You could use the shovel for much more productive things; but you chose AI…

“…a built-in cigarette case which “hands” you a cigarette at the [unintelligible] of a convenient lever.”

Really disappointed that’s all that link had… No pictures or illustrations, not even a proper description :/

The 3d scans you can manipulate on that page are pretty cool.

Not all that surprised by the lighters mechanism though; a bit of nickle chrome wire for a heating element and some bi-metal strips to release it based on temperature. Pretty simple.

SovCit insisted they weren’t the defendant, but was their representative; judge played along and refused to let this non-defendant represent the actual defendant as they are not an attorney.

Either agree you are actually the defendant, or come back as a licensed attorney. In the mean time, the court can assume the defendant hasn’t/wont appear and proceed accordingly. (default judgement, bench warrant, or whatever else is applicable to this case)

I mean, sure; but playing with your food is so much fun…

Looking into it more though; it seems they used to use both and have since moved to 220v for the majority of things.

Many plug packs (ac-dc adapters) are dual voltage and will handle 220v just fine. Check the label on the plug though. Most other things you will need a transformer unfortunately.

The Philippines uses 115v 60hz, like America.

They also use these three plug designs:

You may need an plug adapter if you run into the third one, but you won’t need a transformer.

Seeing a post with 0 upvotes (and seprate downvotes) always makes me chuckle.

‘huh, even OP thinks this is bullshit…’

The microphone disable switch on every google home/amazon alexa device does not physically disable the microphone; it just informs the software that you’d like it to not listen to you. It can still do so whenever it pleases.

This is how/why it is able to respond ‘your microphone is currently disabled’ when you try to command it with that switch on.

I still love the Xbox 360 Jump In comercial

I specify my LAN DNS servers (2 pihole instances, main + a backup for redundancy) in my routers DHCP settings, so they are the DNS servers handed out to all LAN clients; then I have an iptables rule on the router blocking all port 53 traffic from leaving the network unless it came from those LAN DNS servers. This means only the piholes can reach external dns; everything else is required to use the LAN DNS servers or receive no response. Then the piholes have full control over what can and cannot resolve to an IP.

I haven’t found a device that doesn’t work with this setup. I used to have a couple google homes before I wised up, they worked fine behind this setup.

The PS2 is one of those consoles that had fairly bizarre hardware architecture compared to say, a PC for example.

Developers took a few years to figure out the hardware and really learn how to take advantage of it. They didn’t get much or any pre-release dev time, so they were learning how to use it while gamers were just getting their hands on it. Thus, the better titles came later in the consoles life.

Terms which should be void as this update was pushed to systems that explicitly disabled automatic updates.

Companies were literally raped by Crowdstrike.

/edit Sauce (bottom paragraph)

I’m getting real sick of companies acting like rapists and society just accepting it, if not justifying it for them.

No means no. Plain and simple.

As if the borked update wasn’t bad enough, it was also forced on users that explicitly said not to install it.

CrowdStrike’s channel file updates were pushed to computers regardless of any settings meant to prevent such automatic updates

Such as?

There’s not exactly a whole lot of options…

They shelter in designated spaces built to withstand fire longer, typically stairwells, and fire departments rescue them.
