Oh I believe it! But how did you find both products? I doubt they’re sold on the same page.

You have got to me fucking me. How did you find this?!

Hence the post! Everyone will still understand your intent and take the appropriate action.

If someone says, “Turn the AC up.” you know they want it colder but you actually turn it down.

Semantic satiation is the word you’re looking for. :)

I don’t hate AI nearly so much as I hate what’s going to happen to the American economy, and then the rest of the world. Have a look at the Buffett Index.

That’s all driven by AI speculation. We haven’t seen numbers like that in history, not before the Great Depression, dotcom bust, 2008, never.

At some point you need to employ some tough love. Tell him ChatGPT can’t do his job for him, it’s only for limited and occasional help. Tell him you can no longer help him if he won’t use the tools of the trade (logs and errors, etc.).

Incels. Interlinked.

Wait till you hear where ice cream truck music comes from.

Been beat up on here, twice, for suggesting people just roll their own. Took me a couple of hours of carefully following directions, never touched it again, been 6 years. LOL, don’t think I can even log into it anymore, key’s lost.

Verizon was always the best for me. Moved to T-Mobile because Verizon wouldn’t activate my funky new phone. Promptly lost the phone and wish I had never changed. T-Mobile isn’t awful, but they are compared to Verizon.

Ah! But you’re not accounting for radio, then television and now the internet. Mass communication is squashing languages and dialects and accents flat, while at the same time working for archival purposes.

Spoken, live languages? Very damned few. Archived languages? We might do pretty well.

In my lifetime I’ve seen accents disappearing in America. Doing tech support in the early 90s, I played a game of guessing what state a person was from. Did quite well! I could almost always match their accent. (Midwestern was my kryptonite, very generic.)

We’re seeing regional accents and dialects disappearing very quickly due to the internet, and formerly, TV in general.

For example; I haven’t heard a deep Cajun accent in ages, unless I look for it on YouTube, and even then it’s mostly intelligible. I talked to people 25-30 years ago I could not comprehend, and I’m good at languages!

Another example; Go watch Steel Magnolias from 1989. (Great movie BTW!) That deep, propuh, Mississippi female accent is all but gone except for the oldest, and those women only use it amongst each other.

In any case, English seems to rule the internet, a modern lingua franca, don’t see that changing any time soon.

"No damn cat, and no damn cradle.”

“Brains are survival engines, not truth detectors. If self-deception promotes fitness, the brain lies. Stops noticing—irrelevant things. Truth never matters. Only fitness. By now you don’t experience the world as it exists at all. You experience a simulation built from assumptions. Shortcuts. Lies. Whole species is agnosiac by default.”

Kinda gathered that bit. 🙁 I may install it and try to track exactly how that flow works. Anyway, seems an easy way to bypass the UK’s block without hassling with a VPN.

I’m in Florida. Fire up my VPN to surf porn. But that’s not a thing I want running 24/7, let alone just to browse lemmy.

If OP is asking such a question, y’all are probably making your answers too complicated.

Unmanaged switch: All the ports are equal. Plug anything in anywhere, it works, done.

Managed switch: There is a world of options to control how data moves in and out of those ports. You can really go nuts!

Your basic home or business user only needs an unmanaged switch, good enough.

A home user that wants to learn, build a home lab, managed switch. A business with more complex networking and security needs, managed switch.

As to the expense, managed switches are stupid cheap on eBay. If you want to experiment with networking, that’s the way to go.

One more funny note, if you end up with a managed switch, but don’t need or care about the options, reset to factory and it’s now an unmanaged switch! (You can still program it of course, but you don’t have to in order to make it fly. Just plug stuff in.)

Finally figured out why retailers keep moving up the date on Christmas stuff. Consumers are only going to spend $X on decorations and the like. If you’re late getting those on the shelf, that money has already been given to your competitor.

So, it’s not greed, it’s, “Want the sale or not?”

Seen North Korea from space?

Hell. No.
