I found the specs a bit interesting. 52.7 kWh battery and a curb weight of 3,600 lbs is nearly identical to the Chevy Bolt, but this only has a range of 150 miles instead of 240. Is it really that much less efficient? The only thing I can think of is the aerodynamics, but that’s a 40% difference.

If you skipped the area code, it probably failed the general validation check. To really test this, you would’ve needed to try a different (but completely valid) number

Depending on the models involved, some phones work with a standard PC USB-C stocking station. You might already have one of these for work.

Thinkpads are extremely well documented. For how to repair/replace parts, you need the HMM. Just Google for “Thinkpad t14 Gen 1 HMM” and you should find the official PDF on their site. That will tell you, step by step, how to replace the keyboard.

As for the part itself, you can again check Lenovo’s site for all compatible parts (FRUs) and find the item number and details. While I wouldn’t recommend buying directly from them due to cost, this should give you the information needed to find it elsewhere. eBay has tons of Thinkpads being sold for parts, and many of these will be parted out. You should have no issues finding what you’re looking for.

There are some public numbers on how many occurrences are found each year on the major platforms.

IIRC, Facebook deals with around 75 million reports per year. Twitter, Reddit, and others were around 20 million reports per year.

I don’t know how many are dealt with on Mastodon or Lemmy (or how you’d even get reliable numbers for that), but something tells me it’s a lot less than the bigger platforms these days.

You are helping - they clearly need the additional training, and you’re doing everything you can to supply that. Their job can’t be relying on you.

They shouldn’t (and almost certainly don’t) have delegation authority.

For corporate bingo, the keywords are upskill, cross-training, and bus factor.

Don’t show. Guide them to do it themselves. Never be the one to actually do it beyond the first time.

If they still refuse to learn, make them take notes. Make them read to you their notes from last time. Make them tell you what each step is and means.

Make asking you the hardest option for them to get what they want.

This might be interesting. I turned off all of my Google history years ago. I presume they still collected all of it.

This could reveal some of that.

That would probably result in teams that have the shortest players possible (to lower the rim), and 1 or 2 tall players to exploit that.

It’s more like claiming to own a subreddit, or a Twitter hashtag.

“Having a Discord server” doesn’t mean what those words normally mean.

How is that different from the Office 365 installation I have at work? Other than the fact that it can actually operate entirely offline for a significant time, unlike what the article describes?

Or did you redefine O365 to only mean the web version?

I have nothing more to add to this.

This has been predicted for many years. Most were expecting it to happen before the IPO, since investors are afraid of porn.

They had also been gradually heading down this path for a long time, making porn harder and harder (heh) to find and view.

Related, Pirate Bay used to (might still?) have a section where they mock all of the threatening letters that cite a different jurisdiction. Usually the US DMCA, but also similar laws from other countries.

They never posted any letters that cited Swedish (IIRC) law, because those were valid threats.

One of the biggest problems with this country is that most of them aren’t unconstitutional. Sure there are exceptions (which others will name), but we’ve been building up the president to be a king for a very long time. We’ve counted on elections and Congress to prevent that, which is amazing that it didn’t implode sooner.

This is also the reason why you frequently see the phrases “These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA” and "Not intended to “diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease”

You’re both right. It’s important to note that this classification only applies to botany. Botanically, it’s a fruit. Just like a peanut is botanically a bean.

Culinarally, tomatoes are a vegetable.

And for the purposes of tariffs, taxes, and customs, according to Nix v Hedden, it’s a vegetable.

There are many ways to classify an item. This just happens to cross boundaries depending on context.

There’s almost some truth to it. Certain foods, like salts and carbs, in certain situations, like low salt/carb diets, can have a ripple effect. 100g of carbs, or a few grams of salt, can cause your body to retain water. The effect being that you gained several pounds from eating just a few (hundred) grams of certain foods.

However, for your body to retain that water, you must also consume said water.

If the entire Internet/power grid just shut down permanently, it probably wouldn’t take very long until you (and everyone around you) died. It’s not just your entertainment anymore.

Electricity obviously keeps your electric appliances going, including HVAC. Even if it’s gas, it probably needs electricity to work (e.g. fans on the furnace).

Electricity at a grid level keeps the natural gas flowing. Any backup options would quickly deplete.

It’s also necessary for gasoline, since it all stops flowing if it can’t be billed. Remember the gas shortage because of a ransomware attack? Those systems won’t have power very long.

You won’t have tap water, nor would there be clean/treated water at the source.

Now, what if you had electricity, but there was no longer any Internet? Well, that’s a little better. It’s possible that emergency operations could be implemented (using the military) to keep you barely alive, until things could be fixed. But let’s just assume the Internet is completely gone. Then what happens?

Remember when I mentioned the ransomware attack? Those systems probably don’t have an offline mode. If they can’t bill for it, the gas stops flowing.

No credit cards, no bank transfers, no phones. The public Internet is now the medium for nearly all communication outside of an org.

You can’t buy food at the grocery store, but it won’t matter for long because they can’t order anything more, and the trucks can’t deliver it.

Most people would be dead in about a week, maybe 2.
