why stop at just a ‘clip’?

where i am, this type of work would require planning and submission to the state dept of natural resources (DNR) for approval.

they would not have given it.

lord dipshit has managed to bankrupt casinos. not once, not twice… but six times. so why not another industry that, in the u.s. with this ‘leadership’, can basically print money?

probably something like:

i could count on one hand the number of users i’ve run across that absolutely had to have the real microsoft office. an alternative like libreoffice works just as well for nearly everyone.

a buck a can, and you can buy one at a time. prime eligible.

it costs more to deliver it than to buy it.

‘365’ subscribers got rate increases specifically because the copilot bullshit was bundled in. they’re already paying for it… they just don’t use it. and you have to jump through hoops, such as feigning a cancellation, just to be offered the non-copilot plan. most don’t know that even exists as an option.

i’ve been stuck on step 4. price hikes chased me away, i haven’t been back. i don’t even know what’s “new” anymore, and i don’t care.

i just watch the stuff i have locally, there’s more new (to me) stuff on my disks than netflix has ever produced.

fuck the fcc

we already knew that during the campaign before episode 1.

they won’t nuke the filibuster. that’s a dangerous move that many even on that side won’t make.

i suspect that they will instead do what trent lott did in 2001 to push some bush bullshit through… fire the senate parliamentarian. that has been elizabeth macdonough’s job since 2012. and she’s already gotten “in the way” of dipshit’s agenda before.

part of the parliamentarian’s duties is to make sure bullshit doesn’t sneak into filibuster-proof ‘reconciliation’ bills.

single-use codes and ‘activation’ were around and gaining traction before steam came about. but steam did help dig the hole and put the some of the nails in the coffin.

given who’s running that show these days, i wouldn’t shed a tear if they got run out of business.

yea, i know they can be relatively inexpensive. but i saw them as a waste of money–which was and still is in short supply.

nearly everything i have as far as pc stuff was salvaged or given to me. the last things i bought myself was 24tb of hdds for media storage (when they were still ‘cheap’), replacing a literal laundry basket of small (160gb-2tb) 2.5in, 3.5in and externals that was getting to be an unmanageable mess.

i had thought of that, but my setup would have had more drives than ports so i needed a switch that did power and signal.

instead of all that now, i just have a literal stack of old pizzabox form factor sff and switch between entire systems.

my ideal setup at one time was a huge case with lots of drive bays and a switch or switches on front to choose which drives to have connected and powered-up.

i only ever got so far as to have the case and a few drives. i did ‘dual boot’ it for years, though, by simply swapping cables internally. lateral bays put the connectors close to the side panel, which itself was easy to slide on and off. it wasn’t very often, so i never got ‘motivated enough’ to get the switch for it.

i never have had an opportunity to pull or salvage a functional hot-swappable bay or enclosure and sleds. i did run across one once, but internally it was usb 2 so it got tossed on the recycle pile like the old junk it came in.

it is very much a ‘legacy’ system that has no clue what uefi is. but it has plenty of ram, decent-enough gpu, and the cpu is still faster than some of the cheap shit sold today by the major oems.

backed by some in big tech such as Microsoft

that’s all the reason right there to nix this shit before it goes any further. the legislation isn’t for the people, it isn’t for the planet, it’s for profits–specifically, theirs

i do the same thing. the leftover pizza will be gone first thing in the morning anyway.
