Ah, you mean a Deutschkompoundenwordkopf.

I’ve used many calipers with a vernier scale, but for some reason I’ve never seen the use of slots like this to simplify and highlight the reading. It’s actually a very obvious thing now I’ve seen it. Are there any commercial calipers that have it?

I had one too. Besides the screen resolution, the actual worst thing about them was the MMC storage. Literally slower than a 5400rpm HDD. Mine was the one with the slightly faster atom CPU, but it was bottlenecked by the crazy slow storage.

I’ve done something like this before, but thankfully it only impacted services that I host for my own use, didn’t affect any family and friends.

Btw, I’ve found the easiest (but not the cheapest) way to fix this is to simply buy bigger disks. Swap out each disk for a bigger one one-by-one, then resize the whole volume to fill the new disks. Resizing upwards is much faster than shrinking a volume.

I’ve never had a volume shrink operation work without errors, and yes it takes days if you have more than 4TB.

Chlorine is nature’s soap.

Yeah… but why? Kate is better in about every way. And while we’re on the topic, Kate is also available on the windows store, with a real Windows build.

On windows: Notepad++. On Linux-based OS: Kate. And there’s also JetBrains Fleet, that is jetbrains answer to vscode.

Do they act to maintain the sock’s grip on our plane of existence?

Did you work out where the drier puts them? Every load, two matching socks go in, but when I unload them there’s either; just one sock, or two different socks.

Have you tried patting your head and rubbing your belly at the same time?

I’ve seen this bug in the outlook web app too. Like it suddenly thinks I’m holding ctrl or something, then every keystroke in middle of typing an email become commands to mess up my inbox and delete my drafts.

Man, that actually sounds really good.

I have been using Ubuntu on my work laptop for the past 9 years. Last month I switched to a different department, they only allow Windows. Now I have a very-locked-down windows 11 PC. It’s been a very difficult transition for me.

I get how this could be interpreted as offensive, but I think it is just poorly worded.

This option is for if you are using a legacy version of Linux such as 2.6.x (eg, on an old RedHat distro that your business systems are designed to be run on).

This enables a compatibility mode so the old kernels don’t complain.

Stargate universe.

The big bang theory intro theme song started playing in my head instantly when I saw this, well done.

Ah yes, who stood up in a meeting at Microsoft and said “What if the desktop background was a webpage! And what if the web engine behind it was just internet explorer 6 but worse.”

Kind of right. Windows ME was the final version of windows (you probably forgot about that one).

After that, XP, vista, windows 7, were all based on NT.

Can’t work out if it’s short sighted and arrogant, or a masterful work of irony and sarcasm.
