  • Swans: Wheeew, skipped.

  • Battlebots, the new vision.

  • What kind of PC is that?

    A Puss 'N PC

    A PC that Purrrs

    A Cat5 compatible PC

    What kind of CPU is in there?

    A prrrcessor

    That's all the Dad jokes I can think of.

  • Maybe it's just that I am in IT and the problem isn't that difficult for me or others with tech savvy to begin with.

    I was just trying to offer a solution, damn, ease up

  • My solution: vmware fusion or virtualbox with windows installed on a vm and running winamp with passthrough audio.

  • Group Policy is your friend. Just navigate to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Copilot and double-click on the Turn off Windows Copilot policy. Select "Enabled" to turn it off, then apply and OK.

  • It's like an into to one of those weird pornhub vids...

  • Sir, my tricorder is picking up a large amount of Dad joke radiation. What should we do?

  • You deserve the eye puff now for not explaining it to them...

  • Funny part is many of us crusty old sysadmins were using derivatives of this decades ago to test RAID-5/6 sequencial reads and write speeds.

  • I'm glad I was able to help, thank you for letting me know. You made my day!

    Crazy how simple that is to make such an impact on daily life isn't it?

  • Yup, I screwed up and forgot to add it. Edited it and did so.

  • This.

  • I always get downvoted for saying it, but I don't care because the real water savings never came from stupid showers: It comes from not growing crops in the damned desert; it comes from not growing grass on lawns in arid environments; it comes from not raising so many cattle.

    Most low flow shower heads have a plastic insert in them called a restrictor that can be removed to make it work like the high flow ones.

    It's nothing more than a small cylinder that can be pushed or pulled out from the shower line and manufacturers use these restrictors because it allows them to sell the same unit in multiple markets.

    EDIT: Forgot to add water savings reasons.
