That’s why they fly upwards into international space first, duh.

It’s not worth the effort and testing. People would only experience it once every 3-4 years, depending on when they get a new laptop. Must still shouldn’t have to worry since other software would install that version of .NET already.

Plus, people don’t bother to read error messages anyways. Another tool I created would create PDFs of the financials. The first section would be pulled from the EPM and the second would be a data dump of every transaction for each cost center. If the totals don’t match to the dollar, the script would throw an error.

90% of the time, it was because the EPM data was being refreshed as it’s scheduled to do so every half hour and takes 3-4 minutes. So I had the error message tell the person to just go take a quick break and come back. Still, people would email me saying they don’t understand why they’re getting the error and it would always be fixed if they just wait.

I don’t even work in IT but I make complex Excel tools for my Finance team.

I get an email about once every week or two from one of my coworkers asking what to do about an issue. Nearly every single issue would have been resolved if they just read even the first few instructions.

My favorite is a specific tool we use to review the financials. It relies on Scripting.Dictionary which is only present in .NET 3.5.1 or prior. The very first instruction on the file says you need to download it. There’s even a very handy button right there which will take you to our software center to install it.

Yet every single time someone gets a new laptop, they immediately assume that the file is broken.

That’s the only reason I bought a modern car.

My parents would always buy cheap beaters. They had a car from the 90s they only recently got rid of because the transmission was shot. My first car was an '05 Caravan I drove for almost two years and got rid of in 2018.

I swallowed the pill after seeing cars get absolutely crushed to the point where the jaws of life were necessary yet passengers could just walk out.

I remember someone posted a picture of their brand new sedan. It was involved in a serious accident and sandwiched between two large pickup trucks. The entire car was squished down until it was smaller than the passenger compartment. The driver was able to walk away with minor injuries and the paramedics weren’t even surprised.

I don’t give a shit about the fancy features. I just want something that is reliable and safe.

Missing diffs is a problem, though.

I don’t get how Microsoft owns GitHub yet hasn’t figured out any way to actually create a spec that would be git compatible for Excel, Word, and PowerPoint files yet.

That is quite possibly the least helpful answer you could give.

A high geologist, huh?

Should be every single one that supports IPv6.

You sent over twenty-two thousand notifications lmao.

And then the bot added about as many tags to the PR.

It wasn’t even really common in the US until the 70s-80s.

Now I’m a much happier person with a much better job, but my finances are LOLfukt.

Not really; you just found out why an emergency fund is important.

Easiest way to do it is with your direct deposit.

Go to your work. Fill out a change form for your direct deposit. Have $X sent directly to your savings account.

It’s much less tempting to spend the money when it’s already in your savings account.

You will never make more interest on an investment than you will get charged interest for the same amount as a loan. Ever. It does not happen.

This is barely more accurate than a coin flip. Until 2021, it wasn’t that difficult to find loans with rates under 5%. Anything under 4% is basically free money and you’re normally better off investing in something low risk than to pay extra.

So for me to sit on money that could go towards paying down debts, I’m just needlessly paying more in interest than I would be otherwise.

If you don’t have any emergency funds, or not enough to cover a single large emergency, this is dumb. Cars break, roofs leak, etc. Even if you have an emergency where you can pay on credit, you’ll likely be looking at credit card interest rates. Or, you lose your job. Fun fact, most job loses occur when the economy is struggling. Another fun fact, most investments are doing really fucking poorly when the economy is struggling.

Keep some money on hand in case something happens.

Wow. Everyone, ignore this guy, he’s also an ad.

Instead, you should hop on over to your local Chevy Dealership and ask about test driving the all new 2025 Tahoe. Drive one home today for less than $2,000 down!

HamCo?

I see them all the time near 37. You always gotta be careful around them.

It seems like the Mustang EV is selling better nowadays at least. I see just about as many of them on the road compared to Teslas. They at least seem to be pretty good drivers.

it certainly hasn’t been tested in court yet, at least not that I’ve been able to find.

Arbitration is allowed in an EULA and has been sanctioned by courts.

Most agreements are considered enforceable as long as their content is reasonable, you have been granted sufficient notice to accept or decline the agreement, the agreement is not unconscionable, and it doesn’t violate the UCC.

For NASA, similar desk layout, but it does look more modernized.

SD has pass through charging, so once the battery is fully charged and also while it is plugged in, you aren’t powering it through the battery like cell phones and most laptops do.

That’s how nearly all modern devices work. Li-Ion can’t be charged and discharged simultaneously. There is circuitry to split the power between the battery and the device when it’s being charged.

Cheaper devices will just stop charging when you use them or they won’t work at all when plugged in.

It’s not working because W11 is using a CPU instruction that doesn’t exist in older processors.

And by older, I don’t mean Pre-Zen or Intel 5XXX… I mean OG AMD Athlon and Intel Core 2 Duo. If you’re trying to run on a CPU from 2008, that’s on you. These were never supported - hence the title.

The only reason this was discovered was because some YTers make videos of running W10/11 on super old computers.

My favorite part is looking at the rating and seeing that all the 1-4 star reviews are missing. Sure, the product has 1.7 stars, and, sure, Amazon requires you to write a review with your rating, but somehow only the people who rated it five stars left reviews 🤔
