I work in I.T. and am interested in every sub-field. I also study English, Spanish, German, French, Koine Greek, Latin, Mandarin & Swahili. I’m interested in human culture.

I like Linux, but mainly use Windows because of work.

What languages nobody has ever heard of? Spanish? Mandarin? German?

Ice cream should make whatever fate awaits him better. Dying while eating ice cream seems like one of the more pleasant ways.

NaN is specifically not a number.

This isn’t even A.I., no matter what they call it. It’s OCR and an SQLite database. Honestly, they could have done it 25 years ago .

This isn’t just stupid. Anyone over 20 remembers that it wasn’t this hot for this long. This requires that they tell themselves that the heat is for some natural reason.

I’m copying my comment from an earlier thread on the same subject.

Tl:Dr If you want to be less hated, make a good product.

I was asked to set up an HP printer earlier this week. It was connected by a USB cable. It stopped printing after a few pages.

HP wants the end user to download their app to use the printer. The printer also has to be set up using an Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection. I’d already tried to connect it to Wi-Fi using the button on the printer, but it just said “Er” & blinked some other lights. The HP website specifically says that the printer cannot be used with just a USB cable.

I was confident I could have got it to connect to Wi-Fi and downloaded the app, but it was too much of a problem just to be able to print.

I had a Brother printer moved into its place. There haven’t been any other printing issues.

Exactly! They know their book says “love your neighbor” and care for the widow, the orphan & the stranger, but they don’t even vaguely do anything like that.

I’ll bet one of the exceptions is having a bunch of money.
