What I find most disturbing is that subsequent presidents won't want to do anything to protect against this sort of thing in future, presumably because it would be called partisan or some similar excuse to attack whoever is actually protecting democracy.

He's going after his record…

At least it's true that he is number one at something!

That's been the only direct benefit I've had of my headphone jack becoming temperamental, so having to switch to Bluetooth.
For some reason my phone cares about headphone users, but you can destroy your hearing with Bluetooth ones and it doesn't give two hoots!

It was still too quiet on headphones.

It's disturbing how much a calculator uses these days, even when it is working correctly.

I've seen a disassembler/debugger in 8k on a Z80 based machine.

I think it stopped when debuggers got better.

Instead of planning properly, people get lazy, write code, hope it works, then try to work out why it doesn't work. It's worst when it's a rare bug and there's a heap of code on top of it by the time it emerges.

But… if they do that, they won't be able to bulk up their watch minutes to try and get recommendations, on their path to monetisation!

Do they NEED Windows 11, or do they just need to stop a certain multinational corporation from yanking the rug out from under them?

This is the opposite of a tech support role where you help people by making really trivial fixes to things, then people treat you like you're some kind of genius. 😀

There's a guy on TV complaining to a police officer that he paid someone for crack and got given tobacco!

The officer asked him if he was willing to go to court over it and the guy said "yes."

I'm guessing he's really drunk already.
