I’ve been using aCar for over a decade. It’s owned by Fuelly now, but all the cloud stuff is optional.

I keep track of my mileage, fuel, maintenance, etc. I can take pictures of receipts, make notes, etc. It’s pretty easy, and I can save local backups of the data or have it sync to Dropbox or onedrive.

And installing Linux and axe-murdering anyone with a car.

Autocorrect’s version of “having fun”

It’s an advertising display. They’re just having fun with it.

It costs 4 grand and has a resolution of like 3480x600, making its pixel density pretty much useless for a monitor.

I’m on the Municipal side. City Council ain’t gonna raise taxes to hire more people.

I’ll get burned out and leave soon enough. The longest-serving person in the development department has been here just over a year, and we pay nearly double what other cities in the area do.

I work on the City side of the development world. We’re always getting screamed at for taking 3 weeks to review a plan set by the same developers who want to meet with me every minute of every fucking day.

I’ve got 40 projects in my review queue and all of them are demanding a weekly meeting. When am I supposed to do the fucking reviews?

Oh, I’m not a programmer. I’m just bitching about how many of us have to go to an office for no reason.

I work almost 100% on a computer for a municipality using software that’s already 100% web-based.

But I have to drive 90+ minutes each way every day because a citizen might want to have an in-person meeting once every few weeks instead of an email or Teams meeting.

Considering that Edge makes itself the default browser and even PDF reader on its own every few weeks, I don’t trust Microsoft to keep Edge from taking over as default without user input.

The TikTok ban isn’t about Privacy - it’s about selling it to Trump’s billionaire backers for cheap. That’s why Truth Social is going public now and “mysteriously” doing so well. It’s leading to a TikTok takeover.

They took Twitter, already have Facebook, and now are targeting TikTok and Reddit.

The political right’s biggest enemy over the past 30 years has been the democratization of information. But with the centralization on online activity that’s occurred over the last 15 years, they have a chance to undo all progress we’ve made.

But until a government steps in there’s potential civil liability for violating the terms. And even winning a lawsuit against Nvidia could be very expensive and take years. And even if they lost it would be worth it to Nvidia to go through the long, expensive process because they’d making sales that entire time.

They lost 93 million on 2023, and paid the CEO more than double that.

Nope - can’t think of a single thing they could do to make reddit profitable.

At-Will doesn’t apply here. He acted against company policy and escalated a simple shrink issue into a violent incident.

It wasn’t even the deterrence. That may have been a slap on the wrist, but grabbing onto the product and grappling with the thief was absolutely a termination event.

OP was fired with cause.

It’s not about guns, it’s about liability. If more people had been seriously hurt because he grabbed the item instead of simply letting the guy go, the could have sued the retailer because he escalated it.

Notice in OP’s story he was punched after he and security grappled with the guy.

If you’re getting flooded with emails from legitimate sites asking for email address confirmation or password resets, you may be getting hit with a “registration bomb.”

If you have something compromised, they’ll do this to try and hide the email you should actually be worried about in a flood of email that isn’t stopped by the spam filters because they’re from legitimate sources.

I recently woke up to thousands of emails about newsletter registrations, password reset requests, free trial notices, etc. Amongst the deluge of unwanted email was a notification about a new user being added to my PayPal account. If I hadn’t read through the emails I would have lost a lot of money.

I’ve shared enough specifics about my various careers on here that saying exactly who I worked for at different periods of my life can really narrow down my identity.

The insurance didn’t pay anything at all.

They negotiated the rate down massively, and then required me to pay 40% of the sticker price, so they get away paying nothing despite getting 500 a month in premiums between me and my employer.

I had shitty insurance when I worked for a major retailer, and I had to go to the ER.

My copay was $300 plus 40% of the bill.

Turned out uninsured people making under $100,000 a year got a 90% discount at that hospital, so it was actually more than 4x the cost because I was insured.

I want to know why do many cars don’t have a play/pause button on the wheel, but do have a source button.

I change my source from my phone exactly never. I want to pause the audio all the time.

Has a gay kiss

Yeah. Good thing they haven’t had that going on for decades, and definitely didn’t have an episode centered on a lesbian love affair 29 years ago.
