- Comment on I do not agree with their political views, but skinheads make pretty nice punk music 1 day ago:
As a punk from the 1970s, I can tell you most definitely that skinheads and punks are different groups and listen to different music.

Dunno man, sorry. I haven’t worked in construction sites for more than 30 years, I wouldn’t know where to look either.
- Comment on i took an iq test and it was nice and i took my time doing it but the answer was 86, is that bad?? 1 week ago:
The results of IQ tests vary from country to country, from city to city, and depend a lot on socio-economic, educational, and cultural background. They can be a good bit of fun but aren’t consistently reliable. I wouldn’t worry too much about it.

On the outside? There’s almost certainly a standard for your country and industry. For example, nsw.gov.au/…/RMS-45070588-Flashing-lights-and-sir…

- Comment on What really separates a PC from a server? Mainly the hardware, but I guess software too. 1 week ago:
Technically, only intent.
I can run a samba or plex server, for example, from my raspberry Pi, my desktop pc, or my laptop. These can all be considered servers as well as desktop PCs.
I could, in theory, buy a secondhand rackmount server from eBay and run it at home as a “desktop” pc with windows or Linux.
More practically, hardware architecture that provides redundancy and continuous uptime. A commercial enterprise server could have multiple hot-swap hard disks in a raid array, redundant and hot-swappable power supplies, and something in the back of my mind tells me that even RAM and CPU can be hot-swappable in some models (am I thinking of IBM power or did I imagine it?).
The advent of cloud and virtual machines could work towards making hardware redundancy and continuous uptime obsolete, but there are cases where servers on premises continue to be used and preferred.
I hope that others will correct me and add further information.

- Comment on Queensland whooping cough vaccine numbers down in pregnant women amid huge surge in cases - ABC News 3 months ago:
I was vaccinated as a child, but still caught whooping cough as an adult. Apparently for Gen X, they’re starting to find out that the vaccination wears off after a number of decades.
- Comment on what's stops one from scavenging the best parts of old phones and putting them into a new one? 4 months ago:
Imagine you like the shape of the front of a Mini Cooper and the rear of a Ford mustang. You could take the paneling from the interior of a rolls Royce and the seats from a Lamborghini and make a really cool car.
Unfortunately, unlike modern standard PCs, phones are individually designed and built and even models in the same range can’t use each other’s parts or software.
Each component is designed to work with each of the other components and just slapping them together doesn’t necessarily make a new working product.

- Comment on Is there a complete list of search engines and web browsers online? 6 months ago:
I’ve been running Linux on all my computers for literally decades. But I’ve just started an online course and the college requires Edge — not Chromium, must be Edge. Yes, I’ve changed useragent, only Edge will work. Grrrr.
