Though, for each of those possible timlines to have ever existed, they would have to be played out with humans that have a consciousness. Maybe, we’re that consciousness.

Ignoring the fact that this is on par for Apple… (Which does tend to disseminate to other brands due to popularity)
The only issue I have is the deletion of the dedicated dock port, which should have less wear and tear due to fewer insertion cycles. (you’d only use it at the office, home or otherwise) The other ports being combined into fewer ones is just part of technological evolution toward mobile efficiency. If you are on the go, whether on-site support or between locations, you aren’t going to be lugging around 2-3 monitors; a printer; scanner; etc. You’d normally want something lightweight and easy to manage, so you can be in and out quickly.
If you don’t move around while working or whatever, a desktop PC should fit all of your connection needs.
- Comment on Which way? 1 week ago:
While getting it taken taken care of by a doctor is the more prudent option, the cotton trick can temporarily help in the meantime.
You pull a small strip of cotton about 2.5cm long from a cotton ball and stuff it under your nail, as if you were flossing your nail, with the ends of the cotton acting as a sort of cushion and softening the edges of the nail. You would then use a bandaid to keep it in place for the day. (also, you should use some antibiotic ointment before stuffing in the cotton if you have any broken/torn skin)
Again, it’s only a temporary solution, but it really does help with the pain.

Just be sure to double-check that both paths are correct before pressing enter, as ‘dd’ is a very powerful utility that can overwrite something if you aren’t careful.
- Comment on Schools are using AI to spy on students and some are getting arrested for misinterpreted jokes and private conversations 2 weeks ago:
Not just any human. It should be a board certified child psychologist. They would be one of the few who could recognize a legitimate threat/concern or bullying from a poor joke or a stressed-out kid just venting with an empty threat. And on a positive ‘hit’, should just be a visit from the counselor to see what’s going on. IMO, psychologists should also be the only ones allowed to look at any of the info as they should know how to keep private conversations private if intervention is unnecessary.
The idea of the software does show some merits, but it is way, way too underdeveloped and grossly misused to be of any use.
- Comment on YSK about Changing your Profile Picture to Clippy 2 weeks ago:
They took a utility and turned it into an app.
M$ took the lightweight text editor that always worked and added bloat to it making it like a cross between the original and wordpad along with adding co-pilot.

Meanwhile my sister’s fiancee drank the whole pitcher and is back working there totally believing Elon is some super genius and that the cars are capable of full self-driving. (I really have to bite my tongue when listening to him)
My camry can self-drive too, same outcome. (just off a cliff, rather than in front of a train)

Easy there, tiger. 1/3 incorrect.
I wasn’t going to explain all of the health effects, aside from an irritant, that the “!” could indicate, especially when the general rule of thumb is to go over the SDS when you see the symbol. The second symbol is definitely for indicating a hazard to aquatic life.
The “G” in the third was confused with a “Q”, given the printer resolution. I wasn’t sure, so I used more relative wording for saying what it looked like on my screen.

The exclamation can mean that it’s an irritant. It could also be other potential health concerns.
Try not to be too quick when trying to correct someone next time, especially when you are only half right
- Comment on Both drive by wire and conventional throttle bodies are controlled by a wire. 2 months ago:
Throttle by wire.
The fuel is never really actively controlled by the user, more by its relation to the amount of air going into the intake.

Both are technically cables though. One, a power cable, the other a steel cable.

The first is a standard warning symbol, telling you to read the warnings.
The middle looks to imply that it’s harmful to aquatic life; so no flushing, (upside-down fish and a piece of coral)
Third one seems to be dosage frequency, but saying a symbol isn’t available. (QHS = taken every night)

Their system screwed up an auto-payment which they eventually fixed. They however left the delinquency mark on my account (they only corrected the notice sent to the credit bureaus), so any purchases had to be paid within 30 days.
Couldn’t and close out and delete my account fast enough.

You might be overlooking the undertone of sarcasm in the complaints. No one is actually truly mad or anything, more humorously cynical of it.
I think most of it stems from how half-assed the censorship usually is along with the relative pointlessness considering how common explicit words are on the internet
