    The White House has been caught

  • The demographics on the 58% aren't exactly known for being great at... Nearly anything that would be required here. The right is organized and almost a family whereas we all barely tolerate even each other.

  • The 42% will never ever hear anything about this from anywhere they see as more than a tabloid. Some of their children will show them articles from places they've never heard of and wouldn't read and that's as far as it will get.

  • Oglaf could be more NSFW overall, but it'd be hard. It does have panels with SFW imagery but I can't think of anything I'd share with my boss.

  • Home Depot in LA installs noise machines that ‘penetrate bones’ to deter day laborers

    Jump

  • In case anyone is wondering, Home Depot is claiming this is meant to deter overnight parking. This is something that has precedent elsewhere, but the timing of the installation with the recent ice raids is very interesting.

  • The meme was originally from a webcomic called Oglaf, It's very NSFW and the site for the webcomic is mostly impossible for search engines to index. It's also not easy to navigate as a human either so most have forgotten about it.

  • Replace toner

  • Bit of a clarification, tracking dots is not a specific federal law, it is worse. Printer manufacturers voluntarily agreed to this deal with the US government and also agreed to keep it a secret.

  • How safe is a epidural?

    Jump

  • I'd actually really like to see more data on the benefits beyond just the pain relief/etc, wondering if there is a noticeable affect on birthing complications when going without an epidural. I feel like there could be a world where having an epidural reduces the possibility of complications, but obviously we can't trust just our feelings.

  • Linux Exposing Support For Lenovo ThinkPads Being Able To Detect Hardware Damage

    Jump

  • We're going anecdotal here, but here's mine. Not going to out myself, but this used to be a pretty heavy part of my job, we were looking at significantly more than a thousand and our workforce was very mobile so we might have been plugging/unplugging/etc more than y'all.

    The increase in replacements on docking stations went up dramatically for us when our main vendor first switched to USB-C docks from the old proprietary connectors they used to have. That had already been rough switching from the rock solid docking stations you would actually sit your laptop on top of. I'm not working in that area anymore, but I have friends that are still there and they say it has improved with the docking stations themselves mostly being reliable, but the USB-C cables are the major point of failure and there is difficulty in sourcing the right USB-C cables without the docking station. Main problem being that even the ones the vendor recommends as potential replacements frequently don't work at all and if they do don't tend to hold up. Supposedly, price of cables that they've tested to definitely 100% work is close enough to the price of a docking station that they just kind of gave up on fixing it and just treat the entire docking station package as disposable. USB-C standards get crazy y'all.

    Vendor also had a few years of seriously flaky USB-C ports on their main enterprise line that did not help. Frequently left us in a situation with piles of computers that were just a brick because there was no way to charge it. Still under warranty, but man, user experience was not great, it made it to the point where people outside of IT were talking about it and that's always a real bad sign.

    Why did ~20 year old me save this to my hard disk ~10 years ago? If there's a joke idgi anymore.

  • Wow, this image is not showing up on any reverse image searches.

    Would say we can track down the artist, but think you might have drawn this yourself OP.

  • TIL 95% of Americans don't get the minimum recommended amount of fiber

    Jump

  • When comparing it to the average US diet, it is crazy. They recommend around 32g for Adult Males, for reference, a serving of Metamucil (popular fiber supplement) has 2.4g of Fiber.

  • We get variations of this story pretty often.

    We had some interesting discussions along the lines of people who backed both AOC and Trump about a year ago. AOC did a bit trying to engage them to understand the overlap better. The common theme then was that among right-leaning areas in the right-wing media bubble, Trump is seen as being strongly aligned with the working class and a lot of people voted for him because of his positions on the economy and cost of living.

  • Valve: HDMI Forum Continues to Block HDMI 2.1 for Linux

    Jump

  • Oh, you may have got me.

    By passive, I was trying to say that no external power/additional connection/etc is required. But, the port is technically powered and that is enough to make it not passive.

  • JD Vance calls for banning viral 'six-seven' meme after his child goes 'absolutely nuts'

  • This is something that definitely makes me feel old.

    We had some rough ones, but were our memes ever this stupid?

  • Did you get your Limewire Wrapped?

  • Even our viruses were simpler. If you just learned not to click on .exe files from Limewire, you basically had the perfect antivirus.

  • There are a lot of passive adapters out there that seem like black magic at first.

    Obviously has drawbacks, but you can also do displayport/hdmi to VGA passively.

  • Basic Needs

    Jump

  • It's kind of fun to look at how people feel about charity and rank it on Maslow's Hierarchy of needs. You can almost tie how good of a person they are to how far up the pyramid they get with their charitable actions. That money wasn't meant for anything above tier 1/2 needs, Love is a tier 3 need.

  • I like Pebble, but I've been on the gadget rollercoaster too many times and until it's proven and quantified 'years of average use' means nothing.
