It sounds like the one-child policy is doing exactly what it was meant to.

I hope salary man gets the break he deserves.

I tried to do the same thing at Franz Josef glacier earlier this year. I didn’t even get the glacier in shot.

Ahh. Approving every piece of software would make them… Apple.

You did say “driver”, and Microsoft typically approves every single driver on the majority of PCs.

What do you think WHQL is?

The problem with CrowdStrike’s solution is that they got csagent.sys driver signed by WHQL, and the driver will download p-code from the internet and execute it. This allows them to push out changes without waiting for Microsoft approval.

The biggest problem occurs when you don’t sanitize your inputs and someone accidentally uploads a blank file padded with zeroes. The driver dereferences a null value, and crashes your system. Hard.

I visited last year. The way they handle trash is just black magic. There are almost no bins on the street. Everything is in disposable packaging. Yet, there is absolutely no litter.

The craziest example was Asakusa. I was walking around for 30 mins.holding about 10 food wrappers in my hand. Eventually a nice merchant offered me a plastic bag to put it all in when I purchased a drink.

Don’t search for reviews. Search for forum posts where users are having issues. “[Product] + [not working/failed/broken]” gets you an idea of what the product is like to live with, and now quickly issues get resolved.

TL;DR: Baka gaijin.

“Reaped” is the word Google are using.

They’re already back online, and they managed to do it without missing a pension payment.

Seven out of 10 Europeans believe their country takes in too many immigrants

…So, 30% of EU are immigrants?

do not choose something copyrighted.

Is that with a “nudge, nudge, wink, wink”? It would be such a shame if the whole project were jeopardised by such things.

Most of the reason I liked reddit (and use Lemmy) is because I use it almost exclusively while people are talking. Sound must always be off.

People chewed gum to fix their breath after smoking tobacco, and I don’t see people doing that anymore either.

The ads never said that gum was for smokers, but it’s for smokers.

“Data, once collected, will be abused.”

He’s usually right. When he says this, he’s quite absolute about it. It’s just a matter of time.

Queenstown, NZ has you covered.

Look up ADHD and “Auditory Processing Disorder”. I believe there’s a decent overlap between the two.

I’m ADHD (inattentive type, so just ADD I guess).

This all checks out. The audio processing disorder part is particularly frustrating. I can hear everything perfectly, but can’t focus on a person speaking because my brain will give equal attention to every other noise source around me. I feel like a robot trying to solve a captcha when I process speech.

There’s a LOT of symptoms and traits to ADHD. Perhaps find a list and run through them. Like, do you find that stimulants have an opposite effect and actually calm you down? Do you naturally sleep several hours after everyone else? Do you fidget and jitter when idle? are you “time blind”?

It’s funny how when I jumped to DDG a few years back, I felt like I was sacrificing the quality of results for better privacy.

These days you get the best of both.
