When I’d get stuff, I’d always offer it to the employees first. My employees used to encourage vendors to show up to get free stuff. I’d let them get whatever they could. One employee got free night vision goggles.

Dragon’s Lair was a hugely popular arcade game that worked that way.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that MS fixed Windows search when Google had its Google Desktop search product and Windows Search went back to horrible when Google discontinued Desktop Search.

You can find files faster on Windows by using the command line dir command with recursion switch and watch every directory tree scroll by until it finds the file than wait for the GUI even when Indexed.

It’s still big for kids. At least one kid per class did a laser tag birthday every year throughout elementary school.

2069 and vr headset looks like it’s from 2019?

Was this written by AI? It doesn’t follow logically. The first panel is a man wanting to buy origami flowers. The third panel is the woman admonishing the man as if he were the origami owner.

He did explain the reason. Garden hose.

I’m sure Google does monetize the gps data instantly, then throws it away rather than save old data that only costs money to respond to government requests.

This is a case where privacy is economically beneficial to Google.

The device only was for privacy. When the data was stored in the cloud, the government had unrestricted access. By making it device only they need to get your device to get that data.

There’s no privacy concern. They sent you the tablet so you could watch the training video. They need to know you watched the instructional video so that’s not a privacy intrusion.

Watch the video and turn it off.

Yeah if U2 is grunge based on time period, then Motley Crue and Michael Jackson is grunge.

1987? Email address at university but didn’t know anyone off campus with an email address to use it with. There was a MUD one of the computer room assistants was coding.

Real Internet started for me around 1992 working for a company funded by Vint Cerf and Bob Khan. Found Mosaic on release date in 1993 on an ftp site and my mind was blown. Every morning I’d check the Cambridge coffee pot, and Library of Congress which was digitalizing documents and uploading new files all the time, and Adam Curry’s MTV which had a new article every few days or so.

If you want to go tiny you could get an Anbernic Gameboy like the RG35xxSP. They run Linux with a gaming UI on top. But it’s very easy to run full desktop Linux distros on them.

Btw the CPU in the Lenovo P330 is an e-2174g. I also got an e-2274g.

I got a sff P330 Xeon with integrated graphics for ~$500 two years ago that includes case power supply etc. Far faster than an n100 and even lower power than if you added a GPU to an n100.

I just plugged in a kilowatt to check:

My Lenovo sff workstation running Plex idles at 15 watts- which is 90% of the time. Streaming 4k 52Mbs hevc (This Flash Gordon is my torture test that caused me to upgrade 2 years ago) it’s 18 watts! I was so surprised that I went back and unplugged the Ethernet thinking I put the killawatt on the wrong server.

What’s your budget? I’m a big fan of old Xeon servers.

I have two instances open for two different inboxes and try to pull one up on the taskbar, the wrong instance will pull up every single time without fail.

That sounds like how everyone always guesses wrong which way to plug in USB, not a specific problem with outlook.

Labels should be the default but UI designers on all platforms only care about appearance. Googling says you can change the taskbar to not combine instances and show labels. That way you always know what you are clicking.

It’s not my opinion but the definition of the word in the dictionary. I looked it up before replying to the poster above you because I was unsure about the definition.

Paying to have things done isn’t lazy or everyone who has lived post agricultural revolution circa 10,000BC is lazy.

This is a sign of virtue

That is because it isn’t laziness by definition. You aren’t unwilling to clean. You don’t need to clean. Laziness would be if you couldn’t afford to have someone do the work, you knew it needed to be done and you still didn’t do it.

I pay someone farm wheat and turn it into bread. That’s not being lazy.

Laziness does not mean lack of responsibilities and not doing anything. Laziness means needing to do something and not doing it. The definition is unwilling.

The premise that normies get pleasure from being lazy is false. Executive disfunction means not responding to the anxiety with action to remove the anxiety. Instead the anxiety becomes its own feedback loop of inaction.
