Because even though turning off the internet is hard, it's not impossible.Try turning off the ionosphere though, I fucking dare you.

I suspect my desktop's motherboard has simply shit the bed. Frequently get whole system lockups, especially in early boot phase and the video card isn't even recognized in one of the two PCI slots. Evidently adding/removing USB devices exacerbates the problem.So either:1/ The south bridge is on its last legs, and I'm out $$$ to replace the whole board.2/ Window has lost its damned mind and I need to reinstall.Option 2 would be cheaper and quicker to validate so I'm trying it now. Wish me luck.

I'm actually pretty hopeful, as booting to linux on USB seemed stable....

@charims Trouble with not knowing the cause is that you can't be certain you're triggered the preconditions. I'm *hopeful*, but.... yeeesh.... Do not want this to be hardware.

I want to buy a copy of "Everything Everywhere All At Once", but I want that money to go somewhere that matters (the film makers, their producers, etc...) so that it encourages more films like this. I don't want it to go into Amazon or Apple's pocket where it's just a numb statistic.I know the film isn't for sale yet, but in general, where can I go to legitimately buy licenses to watch my favorite films without having to fund penis rockets for billionaires?

P.S. - "Everything Everywhere All at Once" was absolutely worth seeing in the cinema. The audience's reactions made the entire thing that much more immersive and real. Especially during what I'll avoid spoilers by calling "the silent scene".

Related, every time I touch Ruby I have to look everything up, even trivial things like "how to write a comment", and I always go through these stages:1/ Huh, that's neat.2/ Huh, that's... different.3/ That's.... what?4/ WHY????And people talk shit about PHP...

@craigmaloney Sniff test says it's spam, maybe social eng attack. Context says this might actually be the actual company making an "effort"?

Facebook: Here's a photo you posted nine years ago about debugging segfaults on facebook.com late at night.Me: The real segfault was the threat to democracy we created along the way.

@brion I'm pretty sure I'm the only person in the tech industry who honestly doesn't mind open floor plans. I mean, I work from home, but back when I had an in-office gig, I didn't mind it.

@murph @craigmaloney I feel like this is the zoomer version of "I only listen to vinyl because only it can capture the true warmth of the music."I mean, you do you. :o)

@craigmaloney It's true though. When I can put half a terabyte on a chip that's less than 0.1 cubic centimeters, there's not a lot of justification for CD/DVD discs.

@murph @craigmaloney I get the lossless no-DRM position, 100%. And I get that CDs are often the only place to source that. Maybe I'm taking the "use CDs" bit too literally. If we're only talking 5 minutes of use to do a rip, then that's hardly "using" CDs in my mind. It's just a transport mechanism at that point.

@trickster And all classes must have exactly two parents. And somehow one of those parent classes must be male and the other female.It's human::AdamImpl and human::EveImpl, not human::SteveImpl.#sounded funnier in my head

I was today years old when I learned that "Corgi" is a Welsh word meaning "dwarf dog"."Penguin" is Welsh as well, it means "white head".
