On the other side of this, you have company’s that are in tangential fields looking to grab up a piece of that pie. Electricians, low voltage companies, fucking furniture companies (oh, we totally do audiovisual, that’s similar enough), the C-suite is trying to force their way into this new golden goose and expecting their staff to be able to handle this without training, time, or real hands on experience. And, no, a 2 day workshop from a manufacturer isn’t really “training”, at least not the only training needed…

Or Fallout NV, or the Witcher series (witcher 3 has 450.unique books), or kingdom come deliverance.

So if I turn the car battery upside down, a 12v DC battery should run a 120v AC appliance?? Brilliant! I have an idea for how we can use this with two fans to create infinite energy!

Omg this is amazing.

Not only is this awesome, but their list of books stores to support has expanded my bookstore list by like 20 places…

Do you know what BSOD is?

It isn’t. It would most likely be windows IoT. it’s an embedded windows OS that allows for a single app instance to be running.

You’d be surprised how many things run windows IoT right now…

So… Literally the same voice input, but now with more time overhead waiting for responses so that it can be a bit more human sounding?

Nmap, Wireshark, zenmap at work.

Oh! Thank you for this!

Because now manufacturers are tying the last year of their warranty to having the devices connected to their stupid information harvesting apps.

No love for librera yet. That scroll mode for PDFs saves my life for technical documentation.

Yeah, oldest electronic, or oldest thing? I have a set of fireproof bankers drawers with a functioning rotary lock from like 1917. Oldest electronic… Do speakers count? I have a set of Acoustalinear speakers hooked up to a sound system… Or my grandpa’s old neon sign from the 1950s (although it has some newer parts… Ballasts and what not do not last for ever). I also have some old electric tube transistors in an old radio I restored that have “made in West Germany” stamped on them… But those might be from the 90s… I am not sure.

What? There have been hundreds of experiments confirming many different hypotheses of quantum physics…

The photoelectric effect you have seen nearly every day (have you every used a modern camera with auto-iris? What about solar power?)

The double-slit experiment proves that subatomic particles can act as both a particle and a wave, which is pretty instrumental in further theories of QM.

Freedman-Clause verified quantum entagnlement.

Usage of Nuclear energy for both bombs and generating electrical power…

Superconductors and Cooper-pairs.

Even the other poster joking about the Copenhagen interpretation - Copenhagen lead to discoveries in Qubit measurement (read up on Quantum State Tomography).

Quantum physics isn’t one single, independent theory… And it keeps evolving as our understanding changes.

It isn’t. Or at least it isn’t as big of a problem as they are letting on. https://www.retaildive.com/news/retailers-crime-problem-numbers/699107/

Shrink has hovered around 1.5% (that’s 1.5% of total sales…) And the NRF has been coy about the fact that 1/3 of that shrink is “administrative” issues - lost product, mis allocated, warehouse issues, broken in transit, etc.

Additionally, a little less than a third is from employee theft, and a the remaining 36% is external theft.

But since they lump mistakes and general admin issues in with theft, they get to claim a higher number whenever they complain very loudly so that they can redirect the conversation away from the massive increase in profits they have had, along with the increase in wage theft cases they are losing, as well as trying to cover up the fact they are closing “under performing” stores in poorer neighborhoods (which not limits access to people in those locations, but the store doesn’t care, they dont buy stuff anyway…).

I kinda think it’s ChatGPT’s interpretation of Tux?

Honest question, as I don’t own or play starfield: Is the mod scene not strong?

Yeah… But caps lock is the cruise control for cool. How else am I going to switch between Slack and my editor easily?

And if you REALLY need the Photoshop workflow… there is always gimpshop.

But how do we know? They didn’t use the sarcasm font!
