It'd be a real shame if something happened to it. Like it's network connections all got routed to a black hole. Or a cinderblock fell off a bookshelf.

I love how democrats in the US gov't have to find "a reason" to hold up the nomination of an incompetent, openly corrupt person.

Like, the simple fact of this person's past isn't enough to advise "No" and not-consent?

#AskFedi

Where do you submit photos to identify an odd #electrical #connector ?

3-pins, triangle, automotive/weatherproof, about 18 ga wire.

I was trying to save the hive-mind from having to do the work, but here you go!

This is one of four identical connectors on a Woyo CANbus light controller. It’s a satellite Power Distribution Unit for auxiliary lighting on a motorcycle. It is not intended for incandescent lights, probably maxs out at 1 amp total across all terminals.

I’ve found some similar, but the vertical key is stumping me.

How the hell do we continue to see live, public demos of robots being clumsy?

How do these VPs not know the costs of failure far, far exceed the profits of success? Why aren't they listening to the voices saying "It isn't ready yet" ?

I know all the reasons, this has simply been an Exasperation to the Skies, not a full-blown Scream into the Void.

Grain of salt, but back when I did trade shows, LV lost out on the Really Big Shows not by hotel room count, but because they couldn’t move 90k visitors.

The Pseudo Subway was an attempt to Uberize tunnel boring machines. it failed because the Chief Executive Asshole (CEA) of the company wandered off.

And now LV is left with no more mass transit than it had before and no prospects.

Sadly, corporations are people.

@hellomiakoda

Did you hum the Mission:Impossible theme while fixing it?

@thibaultamartin

If you had a stationary server, would you still use Fotema?

I'm genuinely curious, and mildly questioning my choice of Immich.

@hellomiakoda @sortova @pluralistic

Heck yeah. What if we slice all the boxes in situ and pluck the treats out?

I think the world needs to impose a $1,000,000 tariff on all ICE exports.

I had the pleasure of working with a movie-projector maintenance expert in Fort Worth, TX who had a stutter. I was told by others that he worked alone because of it.

I absolutely hung out with him while he installed the Norelco 35/70 and I thought we had a great time. One of the smartest humans I've ever met. And I just waited for however long he needed. Funny guy, too.

Never regret patience and welcoming differences.

Remember the opening of the last act in "The Matrix"?

Tank: What do you need?
Neo: Guns. Lots of guns.

I do this every day: What do I need for <task>? Tools, lots of tools.

Speaker of the MN House of Representatoces Melissa Hortman has been assassinated in her home earlier this morning.

Today the conservos will be frightened by a very large peaceful gathering.

#InfoSec folks, a post saying attacking USB chargers can mod files on a locked smartphone, recommends phone-off during charging from random chargers.

Scare mongering?

I wouldn't plug into a charger I don't own even if it was an emergency.

"POTUS is considering..." means bidding is open. If you don't get the outcome you want, you know you were outbid.

@Nonilex

Whooping cough is so very much more serious than people imagine. Coughing until one vomits, bruises a rib, or damages the cartilage in the ribcage are just a hint of what's in store. Plus a permanent, non-productive cough for the real winners.

@inthehands

The Pinto thing was a pretty minor increased-risk, since the gas tank placement on rear-wheel drive econo cars of the day was pretty much identical, IIRC the fix was a single shield on a single bolt on the differential. So really, it's an Audi 5000 preview: nearly-non-existent engineering problem went viral.

Swastikars are different: They're not cheap anything, and the plutes that are trying to virtue-signal with them are pissed because the Nazi came out of the closet too soon

@inthehands

....because they have electrically-retracted exterior door handles and interior locks?

@inthehands

The Nazi would do that, only to the liberals owning, driving, riding, or standing near a Swastikar.
