Sounds like the screen is cracked. They are so brittle

I always thought this is why the Facebooks and Googles of the world are hoovering up the data now

Spring has started a couple of weeks early here (normally early September), but for me, this was one of the coldest winters that I remember.. (south east coast). I don’t deny the science, just going by how it felt

I have been using Jdownloader2 for years.. I don’t know what the differences are, but might be an option for people who want something GUI based

Almost all Windows 10 systems can be upgraded to the new version — so why are businesses holding back? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Because Windows 11 is yet another painful transition for staff who are mostly IT illiterate folk, and it easier to leave things the way they are until necessary..

For those who struggle with dating, what do you consider to be your biggest hurdle? in c/[email protected]

Honestly, social media.. Facebook is just absolutely full of bullshit meme's for every type of occasion, and clicking on a single one sends people down that rabbithole. Eg.. Say a person has a breakup with a person who exhibits some narcissistic traits and then relates to a meme about it and clicks on it (or pause too long), next minute the feed is full of gender hating memes, groups and pages to feed that part of the brain, and I think it is incredibly unhealthy. It just seemed a lot easier to meet people before heads were filled with social media influence

How long would you live if electricity for the whole world went out permanently? (aussie.zone)
 

I was having this conversation with my daughter and thought it was an interesting topic.

If an EMP or solar flare took out everything electronic in the whole world (permanently), how long do you think it would take for you to die, given your current location and circumstances.

I believe my daughter thinks we would live a lot longer than I do, but she is thinking about how long she can live without the internet while I am thinking the world will quickly descend into anarchy.

With no traditional forms of transport, so supplies would dry up, limited resources, health etc, law and order would be a challenge as things become more desperate.

I think I would live for about 3 months. I would try to get the family somewhere safe and remote and come back later, but I think most people would have the same idea.
