That’s enough to share with the class! I mean, if you’re going to bring it to school, you have to bring enough to share. Those are the rules of schools.

You’ve done your part.

Now send an email that states that you understand that he doesn’t want to upgrade computer with asset tag X out of Windows 7, despite the security concerns and crashes, and if this changes, you have a windows 10 desktop ready to deploy when/if the time comes, then thank him for his time.

Edit: oh, and file this email (and any responses) in an easy to find place, just in case.

E2: also, windows 10 is EOL soon, so you may want to upgrade the new one to 11 if the software works with 11. And make dang sure the software works. The vendor’s word might be misguided. It doesn’t work, until you verify it works.

Neat! Thanks for the info. I should have learned more about that state while working at the previous employer, but oh well. It didn’t really seem pertinent then. I guess it’s never too late.

In NC? I know some places have had this law (maybe it was town-specific) since western times.

1: the reason I supported them before COVID, during, and now, and the reason I support their legalization.

But…

2: COVID has trained facial recog algorithms to identify masked faces. Those algorithms still have a hard time with identify altering makeup, but don’t seem to have any issues with masks. True privacy no longer exists. Freedom to protest in most countries is restricted to public spaces. When you privatize everything (including education), public spaces diminish, and your right to protest with it.

I’m fairly certain that the source for this is bank robbers of yore. But this goes under “we do this, because we’ve always done it that way”, and it’s the absolute worst reason to keep doing something. I, for one, enjoyed and supported my right to wear masks for the sole reason that it hid a good part of my face. Didn’t do much for facial recog, as we saw, but humans have a hard time identifying and remembering faces without seeing a mouth. I knew the masks weren’t real respirators and weren’t nearly as effective as they could have been (the reason I wore an actual respirator pre COVID and during), but I very much enjoyed the added privacy for everyone nonetheless.

That’s fair. I also haven’t been back, but not because of him haha

Isn’t it already illegal to cover your face from above the nose downward in NC? I went there on a business trip a couple years before COVID, and wore a respirator while outside. A cop stopped me and told me that it’s against statute to cover my face in public places. I explained to him that I’m not from there and pollen in that state, at least in Charlotte, was horrific. He was understanding, but highly recommend I find another way. I thanked him and we parted ways. I was leaving the next day, so I didn’t find another way.

This article makes it sound that they’re not going to make it illegal, since it already is, but are, instead, going to make it a higher crime if you commit one while wearing a mask. What I’m gathering, is basically “wear one if you want. But if you commit a misdemeanor while wearing one, it’ll be a felony” (or however the scales increase). Did I misunderstand?

Absolutely stunning!

TIL these exist. Neat.

I see that you, too, bear scars of RAIDs.

Hahahahah!!!

In case this wasn’t a joke question, it’s asking for my age, sex, and location.

Me: hi!!!

Guest816371: a/s/l

Me: what does that mean???

Nice! I asked llama2 to provide two examples of each.

I asked llama2.ai and this is what it said.

The suggestions sound… generic. I guess that’s the point.

1. Keep it simple: • “I’ve decided it’s time for me to move on to new opportunities. I’m excited about what the future holds.” • “I’m leaving for personal reasons, but I’m grateful for the experience I’ve gained here.”
2. Emphasize positivity: • “I’ve learned so much during my time here, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to have worked with such a great team.” • “I’ve really enjoyed my time at this company, and I’m going to miss working with you all.”
3. Offer support during the transition: • “I want to make sure that everything runs smoothly during the transition. Is there anything specific you’d like me to focus on in my remaining time here?” • “I’m happy to help with training or knowledge transfer in any way I can. Just let me know what you need.”

We need to criminalize incompetence-in-authority!!

I don’t think that’s possible. There won’t be any governments left.

So… H2O is the most dangerous compound? Hahahahahahaha this was a good read

I don’t think tailscale (headscale for foss) requires pf. I could be remembering wrong, so don’t hold me to it, but worth a look.

Shoot. That’s what I was afraid of. It’s a Geneva brand. I found it at a thrift store, and thought it looked neat. I don’t actually know the true value.

Are you talking about the micro adjustments on the clasp? I adjusted that to its smallest. I need to remove links from the band.
