  • He should’ve done something like that on top of a delay in the script to prevent it from potentially being associated with the deletion of his name in AD (assuming the company backs stuff like that up, which is questionable since one dev was able to do all this lmao).

    The other issue is that the computer responsible for the infinite looping was associated with him. Since he had seemingly unlimited access to everything, should’ve either plopped it on some shared device with a separate user or just configured it to also delete itself once it noticed the AD name being gone.

    Anyway, this entire scenario is both hilarious and makes me never, ever want to use Eaton products.


  • If you’re gonna use it for backups, you should ensure it’s only syncing in one direction. If it’s set up like normal (where it functions like Dropbox and syncs changes from any device to all your devices), if your data is corrupted or something on one device, it’ll be synced everywhere. You can also configure it to store a certain number of revisions (which you could use either instead of one-way syncing or in addition).

    Also, if you’re gonna use it for backups, it’d be a good idea to store your data offsite somewhere (whether that’s by storing your data encrypted at some cloud provider through a VPS/whatever or at friend’s/relative’s place or something, that’s up to you).


  • Google is such a fucking joke of a company. They release multiple products that do the exact same thing regularly, have apparently no capability for long-term planning, and are just shoving AI into everything even if it makes the end product worse. Why would I purchase a Google product when anything that hasn’t existed for 10+ years is likely going to be axed in a couple years? The cherry on top is the idiot execs giving themselves raises for their shit performance while laying off workers.


  • It’s always laissez-faire capitalism until some big company has issues, then all of a sudden it’s state capitalism.

    Anyway, supposedly the government doesn’t have a board seat, so it should have limited power. However, who knows what the unspecified “limited exceptions” are for it to be allowed to vote. I don’t really think this makes much difference from the status quo other than the US being able to pressure Intel slightly more easily and further tying Intel to the US. However, it’s probably something to watch in case the government starts trying to vacuum up other shares to gain majority control, voting power, etc. If something like that happens, I’d be wary of using consumer Intel products.




  • He says a lot of stuff, but then when push comes to shove, he usually either doesn’t follow through or starts capitulating to the right. Frankly, he’s clearly gunning for the presidency, which is why he’s outwardly taking such an adversarial stance to Trump. If he gets elected, it’ll be just back to the status quo (which is at least better than Trump, but it’s still not good).

    Stuff like the gerrymandering plan benefits him, which is why he’s actually going through with it.




  • Compared to other competitive swimmers, yes, he was. 500th ranked in just the USA college system means you’re never getting anywhere close to being a professional swimmer competing at world championships or the olympics. Never. Not even close.

    You really love ignoring everything other than the 500 free.

    Since you brought up the Olympics, I wonder how many of her competitors (other than obviously Douglass) actually made it.

    Incorrect.

    Unless you’re talking about pretty much worthless pool records, I am indeed correct. Since you love calling me incorrect, how about you actually provide some numbers other than an unsubstantiated ranking from a letter written by someone supposedly om behalf of anomymous teammates. She did not set NCAA records, USA records, etc., unlike someone else she competed against.

    Grow up.

    Right back at you, ma’am.


  • Where?

    I literally wrote in the parenthetical which term you used. Are you blind?

    Went from a “bad” mens swimmer to the best womens swimmer while swimming basically the same times as pre-transition. There’s nothing to say that even if Lia didn’t “transition” that he would have improved his times.

    I think I’m done. You’re just repeating conservative talking points without actually thinking about what you’re writing. Lia Thomas was never a bad swimmer. As mentioned, the improvement in her rankings was within normal bounds for three years. You’ve also curiously avoided noticing how the other rankings were below 1st despite her starting at a higher ranking in men’s competitions. Likewise, none of her times have ever blown away the competition. She didn’t set records. The 1st place finish isn’t even in the top 50 all-time for NCAA.

    I feel like I’m talking with my relatives who voted for Trump. Given that you don’t even have the decency to use the correct pronouns, kindly go fuck yourself conservacuck.
