Will the North Koreans get sufficient rations? It might be no worse than being at home.

Losing an entire generation of productive and reproductive people is not going to do their nation any good.

NK will imprison their family if they defect, that's the main thing keeping people in NK I believe.

They are invading a country unprovoked . The country is made up of civilians. Weren't they breaking international law when the first shot was fired?

They work in tech, promotions are achieved by moving employers. Internal mobility is always terrible in tech companies.

We used to use them for the same thing in Kmart (Australia) when I worked there 20 years ago. They were used to clear the float so you didn't have too much cash in the register. Now that 90% of transactions are on card I bet they don't use them anymore.

If you watch ads instead of paying a modest fee to remove them then you're a clown. Companies do need to make money for the services they provide, I just disagree with the amount.

I pay less than 5usd for a family plan, I just subscribed through a developing nation with a VPN.

That was my comment about the amount that should be charged. I'll happily pay $5/mo, but not $15. I'm happy to pay for services, just not the amount that many want to charge.

I spent a lot of time in a few forums in the 00s. Many of them still exist but they are shells of what they used to be. One that I check into once a year or so has about one post per year - and it's normally a post asking if anyone is still there. The owner keeps it running as a memorial to one of the mods who has passed.

Imagine if they had instead hired 500,000 people on $100,000 each. They could have bought the entire city of Detroit and had it making Teslas, instead they've got one coked up narcissist.

It's so much so that every news article that quotes it still says "X, formerly Twitter".

All future AI will have autocorrect errors and will look like no one read it before hitting enter. You're welcome.

I still remember mine too. I wonder what useful information I could remember if I didn't remember shit like this?

It would look bad for a lot of governments if we knew what our militaries did. McBride's information looked bad for multiple governments so they all agreed to use him as an example.

Dell responds to return-to-office resistance with VPN, badge tracking, and color-coding of employees ( arstechnica.com )

After reversing its position on remote work, Dell is reportedly implementing new tracking techniques on May 13 to ensure its workers are following the company's return-to-office (RTO) policy, The Register reported today, citing anonymous sources....

Which companies pay for WFH expenses? I worked for the biggest software company in the world in 2022 and there was no WFH allowance. We were 100% WFH at that point.

I use a 55" 4k TV. The screen real estate is great.

Even the most secure VPN technology is only as secure as the endpoint.

I genuinely read the headline and thought "Good on them for standing up for the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians imprisoned in Gaza", and then I realised the truth.

I have young kids and recently learned what Roblox actually is. My kids will never be allowed to spend a cent on that. I am happy to buy them suitable games.

The Garden of Eden was based on The Galápagos Islands.

I’m kidding here, but the similarities are odd. The weather is always between 70F and 85F all year round. The biggest threat to you on the island are apples. You shouldn’t eat the apples that grow on the island; the small green ones are poisonous. Oh, and it isn’t easy to immigrate there. It’s a place where only few...

There's no mention of apples in the biblical record, just "fruit"

The US rolled our democratically elected government in the 70s and we still lick their boots to this day. You'd be forgiven for thinking I was talking about a country in the third world, but I'm talking about Australia.

This is more like someone offering a "brand new method of personal travel" to replace your car, but it turns out that it's just an old Honda with only one seat, a fuel tank that only holds 10L, and a custom navigation app. There's nothing it does that your Honda can't do better, and you won't want to replace your Honda with this.

What's your problem with smart dildos?

macrocephalic ,

They should have just kept incrementally upgrading W10. People don't like big changes and there's not much encouraging people to 11 except 10 going EOL.

macrocephalic ,

Yes, Toyota is using these announcements to dissuade customers from going electric while they continue to sell only ice and hybrid vehicles. Remember that Toyota came out with the Prius 20 years ago and have done nothing since.

Shouldn't he resign based on this criterion?

What is your unpopular flim opinion

I'll go first. Mine is that I can't stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It's like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

It's strange that you said that and then said you liked fury road. I thought fury road was the epitome of spectacle and production value with actual value.
