Except that these pagers were distributed to more than just hezbollah. AUB (American university of Beirut) medical workers had them too, for example.

Also fire departments, hospitals and other medical services. They’re extremely reliable, last a very long time on a charge and don’t shatter when you accidentally drop it.

Even if you need Id/scanner. If the check is at the elevator on the ground floor it may often as well not exist.

Switzerland has always been the go to holiday destination for my grandparents, parents and now me. The difference in pictures (and memories) between the generations is terrifying

Didn’t some company have a script running that would randomly kill stuff to always test redundancies?

I vaguely recall someone telling me that about netflix

There’s a couple SD-WAN solutions out there that you can do this with. Essentially route all your traffic through one or more VPSes while still keeping things like port forwards and STUN working properly.

I’ve had to use it to enable proper video feeds to and from people that had Spectrum as their ISP.

I have a 4gbit line, and while I usually use Usenet to download a lot of torrents still easily reach 2-3gbit up/down.

I’m working in live video and there’s a lot of proprietary codecs out there that vlc doesn’t play by default. Most of those are lossless/very high bitrate lossy formats designed to be encoded and decoded quickly for things like instant replays, so not something the average consumer would get their hands on.

Modding used to be extremely easy and detection systems weren’t implemented yet back in the day. I have an account with billions in cash just for being in the same lobby as one.

These days you’re still free to ruin everyone’s day with all sorts of griefing mods, but once you try and spawn in cash daddy rockstar gets angry at you.

Unfortunately that works less and less as “AI” continues to be more important in gathering results. Luckily there are other tricks like searching for pdfs only, exclude the ‘corrected’ words , or simply trying multiple search engines.

As someone that has to search for obscure hardware and part numbers on a regular basis Google’s ‘did you mean’ is the bane of my existence.

Yes we do,

However they don’t hold much power over the day to day workings of the country.

The current monarch is essentially an ambassador that travels around the world for state visits and diplomatic talks. Similar to what a president and foreign minister would do.

I doubt support for the royals would be so high if not for all the national and international PR work that they do.

I actually started going to the gym a few weeks ago not having done proper physical exercise in the last 13 years. A large portion of the random pains and cartilage grinding are just straight up gone already.

Was gonna say, before the Dutch did that stunt with time dependent speed limits the ‘unlimited’ sign just meant 130kph. At the border would be a sign explaining this and that’s that.

I definitely rely on documentation more than copilot, since I’ve noticed that the code it writes is only ever as good as your own codebase.

Most of the stuff I code is API wrappers to get arbitrary data into a format our broadcast graphics system can understand. Once all the data structures are properly defined copilot is extremely useful in populating all the API endpoints.

The actual problem solving is getting the data in the first place and morphing it into the correct format.

I’m very much a novice coder, but I often find myself doing the opposite. Write a good comment and let copilot write the actual code.

For some reason every registrars dns panel has its own weird restrictions, bugs and interface quirks. Pointing the nameservers to Cloudflare at least makes for a consistent experience.

Some of that blame is on Amazon as well, they send out emails to people that bought the thing being like “someone asked X about the product you ordered, do you know the answer?”.

Linux is where a lot of the actually interesting stuff is, so I highly doubt they don’t have a bag of exploits for that.
