During Trump’s first term it came out that Roy Moore, an Alabama Republican running for Senate, was a rapist and a pedophile (naturally he was Trump’s endorsed candidate).

Not only did Moore not drop out of the race, he almost won the election. And he only lost because enough Democrats showed up to vote for his opponent - the Republican voters still mostly supported Moore even after he admitted to going after teenagers.

The kernel handles memory, so it’s only fair it takes a share of the blame!

Go full Russian roulette and include the OOM killer itself in the list of targetable processes.

Or lingering dampness.

What are you talking about? He’s much more humble than you would understand.

(I love her expression after he drops that line without a hint of irony or self-reflection.)

“Package will arrive between 8 am and 6 pm. Signature required.”

I get refrigerated meds delivered once a month. That day is the absolute worst due to social anxiety and ADHD. I can get literally nothing done until like an hour after the delivery shows up and I’m able to human again.

Peanut butter on a toothbrush?

Peanut butter and chocolate on a toothbrush?!

The best thing about that pose is sometimes they start doing bunny kicks in their sleep.

This explains waterfowl.

His base was already drinking bleach. It’s only a small step up to injecting it!

Tangential, but stuff like this makes me wish Intel’s Optane had taken off. It was supposed to have the persistence of an SSD with performance near that of RAM, but it was expensive and the OEMs who included it relegated it to little more than a glorified drive cache.

Imagine being able to allocate some of your spare storage as extra RAM the same way the Pi lets you decide the RAM/VRAM split. Or more realistically, sticking your swapfile on it and your build not taking several days even though you’re only working with a quarter gig of RAM.

Rule 3: SD CARD CORRUPTION

Rookie mistake. Next time store your swapfile on Google Drive so it’s their problem!

The frustrating thing about that is how they didn’t even slow down with their bullshit after that scandal, and some of the most hated DRM in recent history have a direct lineage from Sony:

• SecuROM, a widely hated DRM that limited how many times you could install a game, required online check-ins or it’d lock you out of playing, and blocked common IT tools while running, was also developed by Sony.
• Denuvo, which obfuscates and encrypts the game executable after scattering DRM checks throughout, adding extra CPU overhead and lowering game performance, was later produced by the same (former, now independent) SecuROM team.

Things started going downhill when Lenovo wasn’t fined into oblivion in the 2010s for putting malicious spyware on the laptops they sold their customers. And I mean actual literal spyware, as in “installs a root certificate and decrypts and reads all your ‘secure’ internet traffic, ostensibly so it can place random ads in it”. While also leaving gaping holes for attackers to use, of course, but letting a random program written by someone with ties to Israeli intelligence install backdoors throughout their customer base earned Lenova slightly more money so it’s all good!

And that wasn’t even the first or last time Lenovo have done something like that. They just… got a free pass, and this type of thing gradually became the norm. It’s infuriating.

Since their current cash wouldn’t fit in a 32-bit integer that’d mean it’s at least 64-bit. An integer underflow would require a debt of over 9,223,372,036,854,775,808 units-of-currency before it rolled over to positives.

Man, this bubble is even bigger than I thought! /s

As for “Why tell me?” The theory is still that it is better for your life to know and that God’s law is better and more generous than man’s law.

The Golden Rule has popped up independently in cultures across the globe (including the Abrahamic religions), and I’d argue it’s a much better foundation for morality than anything that assumes/requires supernatural backing.

They’re being paid in experience!
