I once asked somebody for a spreadsheet (they were trying to import the data into my software and it was failing), and got back a .doc file containing a screenshot of Excel running the spreadsheet.

I was in awe of how somebody could misuse so many pieces of software at once.

Indeed. What you are looking for is a spreadsheet.

Don’t overcomplicate things.

I would think most consumer drives will be OK with that, but it varies, and the race to make things ever cheaper has only increased that. AFAIK, the more data they try to pack into a cell (SLC/MLC/TLC/QLC), the more likely they are to be affected by unpowered data loss.

What kind of storage do they use? Because SSDs left unpowered will lose data.

If they even try that it will look like that car chase scene from The Blues Brothers.

How quickly we forget Foxy Brown.

Ultraviolet is absolutely fucking terrible.

Watch The Disaster Artist instead.

Listen pal, I was fine with invading Czechoslovakia, Poland, Denmark and the Netherlands, but I draw the line at France!

Fake Fediverse is fake.

Fuck Turkey and fuck however they want it spelt.

Let them pay the whole amount and then claim it back from the sellers.

Maybe then they’ll actually do some checking about who their sellers are…

“it’s not us, it’s our sellers!”

Maybe I’d accept that if they weren’t gobbling an enormous percentage of every transaction and storing it in their own warehouses.

I wear shorts, I already know!

“Delete all IP law” say people who have never created anything of any value to humanity.

Man who runs second biggest Nazi bar reliant on Nazi money. More at 11.

I think where social media is particularly insidious is the use of algorithms.

No normal person wakes up and thinks “I think we should bring back the Nazis”, but like a post on Facebook about Remembrance Sunday or patriotism or even just catapults, and suddenly you’re on a fast track to white supremacist groups.

I’ve seen people go from chewing out a stranger in the supermarket for whining about foreigners, to spreading made up rumours about immigrants killing white girls.

In the past you’d hear about hate groups when they’re marching through London in Union Jack T-shirts, smashing curry shop windows. Social media lets people in on the bottom rung and ride it to that point.

Monitors, although I’m not sure I want my PC PSU powering those as well as everything else.

The only thing it’s good is autocomplete.

Which isn’t surprising because that’s all most “AI” is…

Boycott Xbox!

Oh, everyone already is…

Every billionaire competing to buy the world’s biggest megaphones…
