It’s not different really. Either it is obvious and you don’t need them or its your hardware vendor’s fault (according to them). Still better than Oracle’s software support, which is not a high bar.

/usr used to be the user home directory on Unix…well most of them. I think Solaris/SunOS has always been /export/home as I recall.

If we’re doing Wikipedia as the sole citation then:

In 1806, Webster published his first dictionary, A Compendious Dictionary of the English Language. By 1807, he began work on a more extensive dictionary, An American Dictionary of the English Language, which took twenty-six years to complete. To evaluate the etymology of words, Webster learned twenty-eight languages, including Old English, Gothic, German, Greek, Latin, Italian, Spanish, French, Dutch, Welsh, Russian, Hebrew, Aramaic, Persian, Arabic, and Sanskrit. His goal was to standardize American English, which varied widely across the country. They also spelled, pronounced, and used English words differently.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noah_Webster#Blue-backed_speller

As time went on, Webster changed the spellings in the book to more phonetic ones. Most of them already existed as alternative spellings.[34] He chose spellings such as defense, color, and traveler, and changed the re to er in words such as center. He also changed tongue to the older spelling tung, but this did not catch on.

Furthermore your quote doesn’t actually have a relevant citation:

He was very influential in popularizing certain spellings in the United States, but he did not originate them. Rather […] he chose already existing options such as center, color and check for the simplicity, analogy or etymology”

Though in context of the previous paragraph seems to imply that this was an opinion that the wikipedia article came to simply because there was a previous work that argued specifically for ‘or’ in place of ‘our’ but again, it appears to simply be their opinion based on an assumption.

You need SPF, DKIM, DMARC with a RUA set up to an email that doesn’t bounce. That’s pretty much it. I’ve been running email servers a long time and actually set up email from a new domain/IP a couple of years ago as well.

This is true. If you have DMARC and your RUA set up (with a working email (or one that doesn’t bounce at least)) along with SPF and DKIM, Google and MS will accept your mail. The only time it won’t at that point is if your IP is in the same /24 as a known spammer but so long as the spam stops, you’ll fall off the list. Some of the common spamlists allow you to request your IP be removed by request and I can only recall one list that almost nobody uses that makes you pay for the removal though there may be more I don’t recall.

Nah, Webster really did drop the ‘u’ and changed a lot of spelling. He also learned a lot of languages since back then there were many, many different languages/dialects in America at the time and he wanted to make it easier as he changed spellings, such as swapping ‘re’ to ‘er’ for phonetics. There was also a lot of anti-British sentiment at the time of course which certainly would have motivated acceptance.

Webster is definitely also credited for this in histories and not newspapers outside of anecdotes.

Noah Webster dropped the ‘u’ on words as well as otherwise changed the spelling of many words in ‘American’ English.

The unnamed man got lost and found himself without phone signal after being left by colleagues who went ahead without him, the Chaffee County Search and Rescue team said.

In their statement, officials said the hiker was left to reach the summit on his own at about 11:30 local time (17:30 GMT).

From another article:

“In what might cause some awkward encounters at the office in the coming days and weeks, one member of their party was left to complete his final summit push alone,” search and rescue officials said.

They left him behind.

In response to him “not listening” about being on the wrong trail:

Shortly after sending them a second message, a strong storm passed through the area, bringing “high winds and freezing rain” and leaving him without a signal.

From the other article:

The abandoned hiker finally reached the correct trail around 3:30 p.m. and texted his coworkers that he was back on course when a strong storm passed through the area with freezing rains and high winds, pushing him back off course and causing him to lose his cell phone signal, search and rescue officials said.

Well unless you live in New Zealand this specific case doesn’t affect you.

However, it doesn’t mean that you must have a schedule. Uber could choose to do that but what it does mean is that in New Zealand you could gain the same worker protections of that country, including benefits, pay, paid time off, etc. as applicable to the country’s laws, if the ruling expanded to everyone in that country instead of the 4 people that sued.

“In my situation we don’t need AC, so neither does anyone else! My supporting argument is that we don’t have AC and live with it.”

Gets an update a couple of years in to fix some bugs.

Gets second update on year 5 to add ads in all menus.

Gets a third update on year 6 to add a nag banner saying it isn’t going to work anymore soon with a discount code for a new Samsung TV.

Gets a fourth update on year 7 on the backend to disable Samsung account access from the TV but on the front end of the TV making Samsung account access mandatory to use the TV.

She couldn’t talk to the American public without appearing elitist and smug either.

The drivers work for Battle-Tested Strategies out of Amazon DAX-8 in Palmdale. Battle-Tested Strategies owns/leases all the delivery vans. Amazon doesn’t own Battle-Tested Strategies but is the actual contractor for Amazon.

Just over a year ago Battle-Tested Strategies recognized that their drivers are a part of the Teamster’s union. Then last summer Amazon essentially let go all of the union drivers.

The NRLB ruled that both Amazon and Battle-Tested Strategies are joint employers of those drivers. This means that not only can the Teamsters directly negotiate with Amazon for a binding bargaining agreement, then Amazon may be liable if they violated laws in regard to stuff like union busting and retaliation.

Here’s an article from last summer about what happened that kicked this off.

It doesn’t change what Disney tried to do to get out of it.

Here’s how to delete the SBAT policy that the Windows Update applies.

It updates Secure Boot in the BIOS, so you could completely remove Windows but the Secure Boot update would still be in the BIOS and affect the boot loader.

Guest wifi does not mean it is unsecure, it is simply just another logical network. Sure amazon could equip their trucks with wifi I suppose and maybe some TVs would have good connection to update fast enough while a truck is there without a lot of tcp retransmits due to lack of efficient lack of penetration but that’s not going effect all brands and surely it isn’t something that is currently happening in a large effect.

You could talk about hypotheticals in the future sure but they aren’t going to scan for these magical “network ports” that are just hanging around the ether. It needs to have a connection and one that is reasonable in quality and time.

If it doesn’t have the passphrase for wifi, how is it going to connect? I rarely see unsecured wifis around neighborhoods anymore. For copper/fiber, you’re not going to hook it up to keep it disocnnected.

The problem is that even if everybody started fucking now, it wouldn’t change the fact that many countries including China are on pace to not be able to even maintain their current GDP in the 2030’s and other than doing something to replace human labor (bringing people in or automation) to maintain or increase their GDP, there is nothing else they can do. It is too late.

Everyone is in trouble here but some are worse off than others. Especially when they’re going to have to figure out what to do with people that will be aging out of the workforce.
