  • Christian metal band sues netflix because google won't show them anymore.

  • Yes and no. While they have the older brand, the term "Demon Hunter" could easily discounted as a generic and therefore not worthy of protection.

    Microsoft skirted this issue with Windows (which is officially "Microsoft Windows"), and they can easily prove that their brand is associated with their product. But a third class niche band? I would not bet on it.

  • Why your Amazon order confirmation emails have become so unhelpful

    Jump

  • Well, they don't need AI to fuck things up. That they could do way before that.

    I once looked for an electronic part. I entered the part number, and got a crazy amount of irrelevant options listed, like female hygiene products, vases, clothing, and, somewhere in the list, the chip I was looking for.

    Just for fun, I clicked some of those other articles and searched the page for the part number. No matches whatsoever. I don't understand what made that algorithm presenting completely irrelevant stuff when there was one article in the list that matched my search term.

  • I currently have a different problem with Amazon. I ordered a graphics card four weeks ago. No high end thing, a simple one with a price tag of €132. They confirmed sending it, then something happened, and shipping was delayed. I got the offer to cancel my order. Nope. I want that card. That's why I ordered it. They currently have 10 of them in stock, but now priced €199. If I would cancel and order new i would have to pay the new price.

  • When I was a student, I already had my Novell admin certificate, so it got some jobs on the side. Someone pointed me to a law firm where the owner wanted their PCs networked. We met, he showed me the list of hardware he wanted to buy - everything top notch, big server, new PCs with all bells, whistles and gongs back then, 19in rack for all the necessities, etc. That list was an offer from an expensive office outfitter he knew.

    He "just" needed someone to install the stuff. I could easily have done that, but all he offered was a kind of internship. Oh what I could learn from working with top of the pop equipment! I told him I was here because it already knew everything that was needed. He then offered me that I could take the old PCs as "compensation".

    I left, and warned others not to waste time with that idiot.

  • A German three letter agency had a similar ad. They were looking for someone who was proficient in encryption, hacking, protocols on Windows, Mac and Linux, and a few other things in that area. Experienced both in programming and leadership. And as a cherry on the top, this person would have to have knowledge about all the legal aspects of all of this, too.

    All for a midrange bureaucrat salary. A security expert commented on this something like "if i had someone with that kind of skill set and experience, I would hire him out for a daily fee about as high as their offered monthly salary."

  • Meet Natalie Harp, the aide so close to Trump she once rode in an SUV trunk to accompany him

    Jump

  • So will she be Lie-vitt II? What does Trump rate higher? Her lies or her blowjobs?

  • What is your weirdest self-hosting problem you've had to solve? For me: Mouse inside the server.

  • The "faucet" was water literally streaming in through the broken window during a thunderstorm. One of my coworkers went outside and shielded the window with a wooden board to reduce the flow.

  • Nearly a quarter of Republicans say they are poorer in Trump’s second term - Most voters say they are worse off after a year and a half of Trump

  • Don't worry, your loss is some millionaires gain!

  • What is your weirdest self-hosting problem you've had to solve? For me: Mouse inside the server.

    Jump

  • Not selfhosting, but I remember standing in a server room with a hands' width of water on the ground (and rising), and hastily shutting down servers where the water was already in the case. It were big towers (Compaq Proliant, if anyone remembers), and luckily the board, drives, and PSU were in the top part of the big tower cases, the drive bays at the bottom were empty.

    We got all equipment out safely, and we did not get electrocuted, either. We left with the last equipment when the water level was approaching the knees.

  • Trump Will Make South Korea Pay for His Iran Humiliation | His rage is driving him to make irrational policy choices.

    Jump

  • He does not need rage to make irrational choices.

  • 70=sixty-ten / 80=four-twenties / 90= four-twenty-ten

  • Oh yea, "half to five" aka 4.5 times 20. Very intuitive...

  • Just ask the Danish how to "calculate" their word for 90, and you will consider the French approach simplicistic.

  • I.e. it is the last usable browser.

  • What have you completely stopped buying because the price has gotten ridiculus?

    Jump

  • Fresh pineapple. The local supermarket has a machine that turns a fresh pineapple in slices or pieces. They started over a year ago with €3.99. Then, some months ago, it went up to €4.99. Then it was "Special Offer: €4.99". And now the special offer is history, and the pineapple costs €5.99.

    Back then, I bought one every weekend. Since it is €5.99, I have given up on them, and, by the looks of it, quite a number of other customers, too.

  • Mark Twain did this with a household employee. He gave her a small turtle, and occasionally exchanged it for a bigger one. She was so happy that her pet grew that well, until he started to exchange it for ever smaller ones again. In the end, she was terrified that the turtle might shrink to nothingness and slept right next to the terrarium at night.
