You have my sincerest thanks. 😃
As I’ve said before, the distinction between countable and uncountable quantities is lost on most people nowadays. In my opinion, the rampant overuse of the word “amount” (instead of “number”) is the clearest indicator of this problem.
Sorry if I was wrong about the prevalence of such protections. My perception may be biased because the notebooks used by our company are all equipped with a switch or shutter of some sort. (HP brand, IIRC) Regarding your second point, however: surely a shutter physically obscuring the camera lens is just as effective as disconnecting the camera when it comes to protecting the user’s privacy?
They often come equipped with a privacy slider to cover the lens. Or you can just put a sticker on them.
Take my upvote for the unexpected Magritte quote.
Ach, my arteries!
The slant in the title is offputting.
Maybe it’s an ASUS thing but both my current and previous boards have been pretty good with the help texts.
Yup, my first thought as well. While those days are thankfully over, those braindead BIOS “help” messages remain etched into my mind forever.
Guys, please. The solution to Google reinterpreting your search queries has been around for years, and it is called VERBATIM SEARCH. (Search options: All results -> Verbatim). Voila, welcome back to 1997.
How has nobody mentioned Girls Just Wanna Have Fun yet? That bubbly energy is a great pick-me-up whenever you need it most.
Me, too. The thumbnail in conjunction with my tired eyes didn’t help. 😅
Ah yes, that probably showed my age right there. The Duke was the nickname of John Wayne, who died of cancer in 1979.
I learned a few years ago that the Duke is, in fact, not frozen waiting to be resuscitated. Of course I only learned this after arguing with my prof in film class about it. Classic urban legend. Now I’m worried about any other hoaxes I might have absorbed in the pre-Internet years. At least I know that the Glomar Explorer was not looking for manganese nodules.
Abraham Lincoln thought they could not. In his inaugural address, he opined that the union was formed for perpetuity and that if the accession of a state to the union required the consent of all other states, so would its secession. He was, among other things, a lawyer so he usually knew what he was talking about.
Wrong.
