Imagine the taunting a child would go through if their classmates thought they were named after an appliance.

Usually it’s a bad capacitor

As though there is anything natural about the modern banana

RTFM.

Complete with intermittent abandonment, just like the old days.

And to make matters worse, because all of those domains have a good chunk of nearly identical content, they end up appearing like SEO content farm spam to the algorithm. It’s like all those sites that used to clone Stack Overflow back in the day.

Does it? The quoted passage is also in reference to a less commonly used configuration, in which it is basically used as a communications coprocessor.

“Maybe I can just gaslight myself into being okay.”

“Oh, wait. That’s just cognitive behavioral therapy.”

Preposterous. You need only install the iCloud client, and they (along with everything else in your iCloud drive) sync just fine.

LibreOffice opens my old WordPerfect documents just fine. What didn’t last was the compact diskettes that some of them were lost to.

Normies don’t tend to perform OS installs from slipstreamed update media.

Do you know what the signal bar on a phone actually represents?

Thoughts and prayers. It will even lie about the technology in use (e.g. it may display “5G” while connected to a “4G LTE” cell if that cell supports 5G EN-DC, regardless of if the feature is actually in use).

My friend, most base stations got fiber backhaul before 5G even existed. We are well beyond that problem.

In fact, it is not uncommon in 2025 to have fiber fronthaul from the remote radio (at the mast) back to the “cloud” where the actual base station is virtualized and/or software-defined (at the data center).

The usable signal issue is a whole other complex can of electromagnetic worms and in contemporary times is a side effect of how 5G NR is sort of “bolted on” to 4G LTE. It is not dissimilar to the growing pains that mixed 3G/4G networks had.

FDIC insurance means that if the market completely crashes and your credit union shuts down, the Federal Reserve prints new money to replace your deposits, up to like $250,000.00.

This is not correct. The FDIC is self-funded through risk-based insurance premiums paid by the banks.

Sure, just let me know what your ticket number is and I’ll inquire about the delayed response.

The context is literally a Windows dialog box – one which the user should never see in a properly maintained corporate environment.

Not everyone at a company can be managed by group policy or in-tune or whatever. Like if they aren’t using windows.

It is 2024. Endpoint management software is cross-platform now. But this is a Windows dialog box. So I’m not sure what point you are even trying to make.

I have no interest in engaging further with your pedantic hypotheticals. Go move the goalposts with someone else.

The context is literally a Windows dialog box.

If you’re responsible for enterprise workstations, the last thing you want is for Brenda in HR to be able to install/run unauthorized software in the first place. She has full access to employee files, payroll data, insurance, etc.

Her shit better be locked down.

You don’t. You fix it with group policy or Intune and she never sees that.

I can’t tell which is supposed to be which
