According to the Sailor Moon dub, they’re ‘cousins’.

There’s a blast from the past. Uh oh!

IIRC TRIM commands just tell the SSD that data isn’t needed any more and it can erase that data when it gets around to it.

The SSD might not have actually erased the trimmed data yet. Makes it even more important to turn it off ASAP and send it away to a data recovery specialist if it’s important data.

Have you cleaned the inside of your windscreen?

They can get scratched up, but if you haven’t cleaned the inside of the glass before, most of the crud is probably there and cleaning it will make a huge difference.

That’s because small businesses know there’s half a dozen competitors within a 20 minute drive and care about keeping your business.

When there’s two huge corporations that own the market between them, there’s more profit in not competing than they’d get by trying to win customers from each other.

Reddit has more bots arguing back and forth to encourage humans to engage.

So just like “the deep state controlling America” the MAGA types are actually right about immigrants taking government handouts and ruining the country, they’re just targeting the wrong people: Democrats instead of billionaires, and poor Mexicans instead of Elon Musk.

IIRC that’s AVI files that aren’t indexed properly. VLC could either build its own index for the file or it could just start playing the file one frame at a time and hope for the best.

I didn’t do the legally mandated number of "Hail Corporate!"s yesterday.

Probably because they insist on replacing the browser’s right click menu with theirs, and web pages can’t just grab the clipboard contents for security reasons.

Current capacity, safety and power delivery are fine for most purposes, really.

LFP batteries really solved battery fires - they can’t produce their own oxygen like older NMC batteries, so they just get really hot and die instead of going off like fireworks.

Once you get past 300 miles, you’re pushing the limits of the average bladder and you need to stop before the car does.

With current electric trucks, if you’re doing some city driving and plug the truck in when you take a break, a truck driver will run out of hours before the truck runs out of range.

EVs are even better - you’re fully in control of the power, without an engine and transmission imposing a bunch of limits and power bands based on engine RPM and vehicle speed.

You actually get the experience that automatic transmissions promise but fail to deliver. If you want power, press the pedal. If you want more power, press the pedal more. That’s it. No power fade, surges, hiccups as it shifts, etc.

I prefer a manual to an automatic, but they’re both obsolete. Electric motors just do as they’re told.

I wonder if they’re going to change that one. More and more people are going to go their whole lives without ever seeing an analog clock.

People on here get all upset about kids these days who can’t read an analog clock. Funnily enough, a lot of those people think it’s completely reasonable that they don’t know how to drive a manual.

This. ‘Gentle hand wash only’ clothes go in the machine. If they can’t go in the machine, let them be ruined.

TIL I should eat beans before a date.

People always say they couldn’t give up a good steak, but we’re mostly not eating steak, we’re eating low quality processed meat and you could swap that with other protein and not notice.

Doesn’t have the depth, warmth, or ability to bring joy to others.
