I guess they must have had better internet in the French Revolution than we have here now! Everyone hates Comcast and now you know why ;).

No link?

Interesting though article is from 2016 which is when the scandal happened.

Costco has been ok for me.

I use Debian on an old Thinkpad and (mostly) don’t have such issues. Installs and upgrades particular work fine. I had probs with the wifi driver on my x220 but it works fine on the similar t520. Framework might be trying to do too much.

Judge, order a copy of his fingerprints RIGHT NOW to check for imposters when they bring some poor slob into the courtroom claiming he is the guy. Also, have his family on a video call to the court to check him. Don’t bring them in person since they could get grabbed too.

Doggone US carriers for shutting down the 3g network. I’d love to see the TSA goons try to install their crap in my old Maemo phone.

From TFA: lowest was in 2009. That would have been the tail end of the 2008 GW Bush collapse. History repeats.

This is for carbon capture which afaict is a total scam? Yeah good riddance. Thx

CO2 pipelines are a thing? Where does it go?

The saying about ATF was that it sounded like a convenience store rather than a govt agency. I guess adding drugs just makes it better.

Yeah I’m not mercantile enough to go around doing stuff like that, but I understand the thought. I don’t NEED another laptop. It was tempting, but I can keep making do with what I have now.

Added: I probably should buy a new SSD if there are still some affordable ones out there. I could use it, will probably need it, and prices have been going up since even before the tariffs.

There is still some Lenovos on sale at bestbuy and it’s a little bit tempting to buy one due to FOMO if the prices might suddenly go up. I considered it earlier in the year, but moved my stuff to an old Thinkpad T520 instead and am using that right now. I think I can stay with the T520 for now.

“We spared no expense”.

Trump & co want a recession. If the current measures somehow don’t cause one, they will think up new stuff and do whatever it takes.

I doubt that a rando like me posting a comment on Lemmy will flip the whole US economy like that :).

They now say 45%, lol. They’re in the tank?

Why should anyone care about the gumroad code anyway? The software is the least important part of running a service like that.

Can you keep the paper journal in a locked drawer? Will your homies seriously try to break in or pick the lock? Could you use a non-networked computer (old laptop) to encrypt the files, and lock that in a drawer?

In numerous off-the-record conversations, past and present ABH employees allege Wable essentially played fast and loose with state dollars by contracting with friends, creating new positions with hefty salaries charged to state contracts, and spending money in ways that raised concerns about the misuse of state grant money, including an attempt to create a new for-profit subsidiary.
