I’m beautiful and tough like a diamond…or beef jerky in a ball gown.
I just review things technically. Like, if I buy a PC or piece of hardware, I like to include in the review if it works in Linux and provide details I wish would have been available in the listing.
e.g. I just bought a USB wifi adapter for a project. I noted that it worked in Linux, what kernel version and architecture, what chipset it has, and its reported capabilities. Here’s a truncated review I wrote (the rest of it is just the rest of the iw phy output.
Thanks for that. All I could remember was that pressing F just meant that I had to press A anyway so I just pressed A.
R-R-R-R-R-(sigh)-A
I don’t even remember what (F)ail did
Brrr-click!
Yep lol.
And you could tell by the sound if your read/write operation was going to fail for whatever reason.
And a satisfying but not too jarring “thunk” when they seat in correctly. Plus, the activity light let you know it was safe/not safe to hit the eject button.
If I remember correctly, the theory was that a heavy hit of adrenaline can lock a memory in for life
So the next time someone gives me directions, I’ll jab myself with my EpiPen to see if I actually remember them. lol. Science!
And this printable Altoids tin just feels like salt in the wound 😆
Though it does make sense if you want that form factor / nostalgia but are working with a device that uses WiFi/BT and want to keep the antenna internal. The plastic faux Altoids tin wouldn’t block the signal like the real one would.
I guess with so many microcontrollers now offering Wifi and Bluetooth, the end of the Altoids era was inevitable.
I don’t disagree, but prioritize to what people need to know in daily use instead of burying the lede in a sea of boilerplate.
I’m old, so I remember product info/safety labels before they turned into this. If you need gloves for something, step 1 was usually “Put on gloves”.
Exactly. And cut that in half if you’ve consumed any alcohol in the last ~12-24 hours.
That’s the kind of information that should be front and center without having to search the tiny text in the whole label.
Ugh, I’m not optimistic enough to dispute that. Surely there must be a sane middle ground between unregulated free-for-all and forcing people to read through a whole MSDS just to see if they should take 1 or 2.
Safety regulations are written in blood, but warning labels seem to be written in stupidity and litigiousness.
Ah, that makes sense. Thanks. I guess I’ve just always thought it was the grounds that were freeze-dried and somehow that made them dissolve-able.
Probably Nico Borie
Edit: Oh, goddamnit. My dyslexic ass read that as Michael Langdon. I’m gonna leave this up for a laugh at my expense but disregard.
I guess what happens is people can redact it such that they can no longer see it in their particular pdf software but then a different software can bypass it
That’s pretty charitable. I’ve worked civil service many years ago and the computer skills of some of them were beyond laughable. I never dealt with redacted documents during that stint of my life but I can say with 100% certainty that I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if someone “redacted” a document by making the text and background highlight color black and posting the Word docx file online.
the segment has been shared widely on social media
Not widely enough.

Even if they do eventually air it, it would be enlightening to play “spot the difference” between what they didn’t want to air and what they finally do. My guess would be CBS doing something like sed s/Trump/Biden/g to the script.
This theory is making more and more sense. Which also implies there’s no Who Tony Stark to make him the uber-stretchy pants.
Or maybe he’s like the Hulk and turns back into a regular Who when he’s in a better mood?
Dunno how I missed this, but I referenced this post as a reply to another and am just now seeing it.
The box I ssh into is headless, and AFAIK, use of /media/{user}/{mountpoint} is just a desktop environment convention. When I plug in any kind of removable media to this box, I manually mount it under /mnt. I mount my NAS’s media share to /media mostly for convenience since that’s the main purpose of this box in my workshop.
The humidity and enclosed space.
In environments where there is a high level of humidity, odor molecules can remain in the air for longer and spreading less. Combined with the closed space, and they linger a lot longer.
