I mean, if you’d rather I stop being involved in trying to get cars off the road even if the current solution isn’t perfect, I guess…

None that I’ve found so far.

Unfortunately it’s literally the only place my local bike shop posts their group ride information.

I somehow managed to install ublock on my work computer.

In their discord one of their engineers has mentioned opt in for vehicle lifecycle telemetry (battery health, temp, draw, charge cycles, specifically said that location and even speed would be mostly useless for them so no plans to collect that). Whether that means they won’t collect it, or can’t collect it I’m not 100% sure.

Which lead to this weird situation of the Amish being some of the best solar installers in my area because they’ll run entire metal shops with it. Like, with proper industrial lasers, welder, brake presses, etc.

Maybe I can convince it the camera watching my 3d printer is a Webcam and very slowly print a middle finger?

I’m curious what they do if you tell them that you dont have a camera?

So how do I get through one of these without a working camera?

I thought it sounded like some sort of Ska fusion band name.

Actually, now that I think about it, I don’t think my wife’s laptop had the explorer issue. Every computer that did had multiple monitors attached, her laptop always operates single screen. Or it’s somehow specific to enterprise Windows 11, I forget why my home machine is running enterprise, but that’s what I installed on it for some reason.

I don’t expect troubleshooting, but it’s not isolated to just my company, my home computer did it too, not nearly as often, and it’s been a while since it’s happened there (probably since I only leave file explorer open for 30 seconds at a time).

And even if it’s not technically part of the OS, will Windows even be in a useable state without it? Most things I see call it a “Core part of the OS,” although those are also specific to Windows 10 so if 11 changed it, that’s news to me. I dont see a difference. To most people (myself included), explorer.exe crashing and restarting looks just like Windows shitting itself, and since it’s packaged with every Windows install, that perception really is hard to argue against despite what some technicality of it being an executable says.

Nope, it happens with literally just a couple explorer windows, outlook, and teams open. The CAD box comment was just to make clear that it is not on underpowered hardware by any means. And I’ve managed to trigger it with nothing but explorer windows open.

When fucking File Explorer freezes a CAD machine for several minutes at a time resulting in explorer.exe crashing and restarting multiple times a day I’d say it’s not as stable as I got used to. Several of us at the place I work at have been dealing with this, although it has been getting better, it never should have happened in the first place.

Fucking Corvette owners man.

I think I can do one better. I have a contact that changed their phone number so I deleted the old one from my contact list. SOMEHOW MY PHONE STILL TRIES TO FUCKING DEFAULT TO THE DELETED NUMBER‽‽‽

For reference, that means the 486 has maybe as many transistors as the board that runs my 11-year-old 3D printer firmware, and that was considered something between the “absolute bare minimum” and “honestly kinda underpowered” at the time I bought it. The only thing that board does is run some loops that send basic signals to some stepper motor drivers, and some basic-ass “bang-bang” style heat control. The actual heavy lifting of organizing and sending the position controls line by line is done by a Raspberry Pi.

I kinda like the idea of exponential fines. First time, exponent is 1, probably survivable, maybe second time with an exponent of 2, but if you don’t fix your shit it quickly become untenable.

Would be nice to do something similar on property taxes for single family home. Home 1 has an exponent of 1, home 2 has exponent of 2 and so on. Creates a natural block to people owning a stupid number of homes by just making it too damn expensive.

Drink verification can. (I know this is a joke, but someone somewhere will probably try to make it not a joke)

But this is a pretty damn close second.

The Gandhi strat.
