This article specifically mentioned only changes to the computer hardware, not the cameras.

Good way for people to remember the difference! Even my wife had this one mixed up for a while, and she’s very sensitive to confrontation. So I confronted her and she was angry for a bit but now she says it correctly.

I have a good friend who thinks teetotal means very drunk when it actually means no alcohol consumption whatsoever. I’ve brought it up to him a couple times and he reacts negatively. I haven’t heard him say it since the second time.

I don’t want to be a stick in the mud about these things, I just want people to improve their communication so they are respected and taken seriously.

If I see something like a there/their/they’re mistake I just stop reading the comment. Probably unfair of me but I just disregard the person’s opinion. And before anyone wants to tell me that not everyone speaks English as a first language, it’s actually native speakers who make that mistake. People who learned English later in life generally know the difference.

wary=cautious

weary=tired

Surgeons are the most bitch-ass people among doctors, who are already shitty. I install their gear and will literally run away from one who looks like they’re coming with a question. We work when they’re gone, so only a shithead among shitheads would have so little of a life to hang around and question my work. I imagine the ones that know anything about networking are at home but sometimes there’s this little fuck coming acting like he knows computer networks because he works on humans.

Surgeons are some of the worst people I’ve had the displeasure to interact with, and I meet people all over the US for healthcare work. I can’t imagine the difficulty people have of teaching a living god a new way of doing their work.

As someone who does this exact thing, no you can’t just put the displays somewhere else. None of this shit is wireless. Wireless is verboten in healthcare.

Which leads to my initial reaction: aww poor surgeon has to tilt their head a bunch, perhaps move their torso or even their feet? Of course this is the reason to retire early not the millions they are paid in the corrupt healthcare system.

I’m the motherfucker that let you have displays in the OR. I contorted my body in incredible ways to get that cable to your displays. My body hurts all the time. I cut through walls and spent long nights and early mornings to get those displays working so you only had to slightly move your head.

Bitch ass fucks.

The Chamber of Commerce, whether the national one or your local group of rich assholes, are only for the benefit of business over the consumer. And they deliberately encourage public confusion. Many (most?) people think they are a government agency and not just a group of corporations colluding in the common interest of making as much money as possible.

I’m not happy about it either but they’re going to build the thing no matter what, at least there’s more nuclear power moving forward.

One disabled guy who posted about it got physically attacked and his glasses broken.

My bendable glass screen is the shit. I’m never going back. It’s so small in my pocket.

My flip 6 is less than an inch wide folded with a case on it

I love my flip 6. I had a flip 5 which I abused with no case on it. Got a deal to trade it in broken as fuck for a 6 straight up. I would hate to go back to a regular phone. They are better in every way and the crease isn’t even noticeable after using the phone for a couple days.

You could get a used pc for cheap, doesn’t need to be powerful. Plug in in to her tv, then set up her streaming services on there and then set it up so you can remote into it.

My grandma almost fell for this. Asked my mom what to do. Mom almost fell for it. After an hour of freaking out and preparing to go buy itunes gift cards or whatever it was, my mom thought to call me. “Oh my god are you ok what happened where are you etc”

Uhh I’m at my apartment, getting ready for work.

Everyone should talk to their parents and grandparents about this scam.

I don’t have a link but Comcast offered a get WiFi anywhere option for their customers where they could use anyone’s combination modem/router from Comcast to get online with their company credentials. This was (is?) impossible to disable.

It was severely flawed from its inception and veered further from reality since.

The vast majority do not. We’re in a pretty tech savvy bubble here on Lemmy.

Somebody needs to get up on their high school education and it’s not the person you’re talking to.

lol

That’s the difference. This is a corporation, it’s above people in the hierarchy.

That study is really light on information. I’d love to see more useful data if anyone has seen it. Like 20% of people who ever tried it ended up with ulceration? I know that’s not what it’s implying but that’s preposterous. We get one guy who started having problems after 3 years of use. He used ketamine for another two years and ended up with serious issues. That’s crazy, but where was he on the scale of once a week to Matthew Perry?
