i hear he’s conveniently in possession of a fine turkish-made one now, too.

there is 100s of miles of fiber spools just sitting for years at a utility maintenance yard here. the provider that was doing the work to expand services just took the rest of the free money and split.

https://www.pcsforpeople.org/ is another organization with low-cost internet for low income households. they some have hardware, too. they’ve expanded a lot since their first location opened in minnesota in 1998. (note: i am not affiliated with them, i just occasionally refer people to them)

they were, for months, literally giving the hardware away. no hardware cost. no recurring fees. just 20 bucks for shipping, then the whatever for the actual internet plan itself. a flat $80/mo i think the lowest cost one was. i have a few users on it that bought into that deal. i think it was just before the ipo where they started tacking-on an extra monthly fee.

amazon’s web site as a whole has always been shitty, going all the way back to when they just sold books.

the inevitable court case would go on longer than turtle’s term.

task failed successfully.

the internet’s gonna be consumed by this for weeks, instead of anything else he has done or will do. be very afraid of what happens next while your attention is elsewhere.

iot is stripped-down ‘windows lite’ but they don’t sell that to the masses they’re trying to hoover-up data on, sling bullshit at, or trick into subscribing to stuff.

iot is excellent on the desktop or as a gamer. its existence is proof that none of the bullshit microsoft’s been peddling is actually needed in the os, and that crap actually hurts performance and stability.

afaik it’s by election only now to fill a vacant senate seat from kentucky. the republicant super-majority in that state legislature passed a law that took the governor, including the sitting 2-term democrat, out of that process.

just the motivation i needed to finally buy some color ink for this printer. this one is goin’ up on the wall at the office.

that is a separate case that dipshit has yet to exhaust appeals in. i guess they’re now trying to con a judge into combining the two now, so he can whine and cry and bribe a judge into reversing both together.

if they had room on the graphic, it’d be there too… but their racism runs deeper, and just think of all the black and brown people that would benefit from these policies. they don’t care that “all” includes all the maga nuts, too, doesn’t even register in their minds… it’s just that “those” people… the “wrong” people… would get something–anything, is just too much for them to handle.

i’ve salvaged enough older ddr3/ddr4 stuff and sata ssd to hopefully last until i see some newer stuff go through here destined for the recycle heap. but what i am short on is spinny hdd for more ‘‘archive’’ storage, i’m down to my last couple smaller hdd

updates, sure. let discover or gnome software do 'em.

my debian won’t break the system.

to install, though? i’d rather see exactly what’s going on. i don’t always want to bring in every tom, dick and recommend. i use aptitude.

it’s the most convenient, but i still use my winrar for some things, mainly some of the self-extractors i build and when i want recovery bits.

the pdf says a sub domain. which is something that could be provided by a single domain on an existing tld.

it’s so much easier to just send the command over the always-on cellular link.

back in the early days of walkmans, you could call 'em up toll-free, say you lost the battery cover or the headphone cable is broke, and they’d send you a replacement. no worries about ‘warranty’, no cost to you…

we used to (retired from that work now) deal with those ai generated notes. they are horrible, error filled, and could literally kill someone if they aren’t corrected in time by a human (the bit we used to do).

it’s been almost a year here, i’m still going down (what my mind thinks is) the ‘correct’ aisle, only to be reminded when i get there that what i’m looking for i literally walked past a minute earlier, five rows back.
