Elite Dangerous’s Frame Shift Drive having both modes of operation with the standard Alcubierre drive which allows you to do FTL by contracting spacetime around your ship (hence frame shift) or near instant system travel by creating a wormhole to travel through.

The catch is that while supercruise has been around for a long time and works just as you expect, the wormhole hyperjump is new reverse engineered tech by captured Thargoid technology.

The drive uses mass to guide the ship to the destination, meaning it can only work by locking onto primary stars of a system. You can only make wormhole jumps between systems but must use supercruise to get to where you actually need within the system.

Also that mass affects its operation:

Being close to any mass will affect the FSD charge time. While being next to a heavier ship will merely make it charge slower, the FSD will get mass-locked should the ship be next to something extremely massive (station, asteroid field, etc.) and will be unable to charge at all.

Guys they’re obviously parodying the Dinsey star wars reboot by reusing the same jokes /s

Merasmus is that you?

I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure phillips head originated for use in screwable rivets and large screws on automobiles where it was implied that the screw action was a one time deal using your hydraulic/pneumatic screw gun on the assembly line.

If you were to unscrew it, you probably should be using a fresh screwed rivet to replace it.

Of course those days are long gone because of superior non screwed riveting and pretty much everything removable in automotive being replaced by hex for the same reason of phillips being easily strippable.

The standard just stuck around because it was cheap.

Jackal because anubis and you can actually change it fairly easy without paying the monthly $50 commercial fee, but they ask that you don’t.

They’re using weaboo branding to hostage enterprise users into funding the project lol

If you dual boot, install on a separate dedicated drive of possible.

Saves a lot of headache with windows boot part, especially since you’re installing after already having Linux installed.

Usually after a big update, stupid windows overwrites EFI boot partition to windows bootloader instead of grub, which makes you crack out a USB to reinstall grub so you can access your linux system again.

Doesn’t happen that often but still a pain.

20 years of hoarding CVEs down the drain.

Now they’ll never be able to gg ez their way into any country and will have to actually use their bribery budget to get more implants lol.

The only thing that would effectively work would be mass loaded vinyl which you would need to cover all 6 sides of your room in, which is usually done before putting up the walls because its a heavy rubbery fabric.

And it’s expensive.

Everything else is acoustic stuff which would really only prevent sound from escaping the room too easily.

Would probably go for the soundproof headphones like others have said. Cheap and effective.

I want an edit of the “he can’t keep getting away with this” to “he can’t keep winning” lol.

I have wiped a toner cartridge with a paper towel and chucked thst sucker back into a ye olde HP from 20 years ago with a broken guider clip and it still prints perfectly fine.

I wiped it because it was leaving a smudge at the edge of the paper after never cleaning the rollers for aforementioned 20 years.

I guess I can add briefcase printer for mission impossible as a use case for inkjet lol

inkjet

Virtually useless unless it supports non consumer ink cartridges or you buy chinese drop in knockoffs.

And even then only if you need to print graphics/images in high quality.

All hail laser.

XFS with LUKS2 using serpent-xts-512b to really nuke that IO with limited hardware acceleration lol.

I tried this once as a test and it was surprisingly usable, though I didn’t try any heavy IO operations.

I’m too lazy to find my years old comment on this but they didn’t vote on it because they pocketed it to use as a rider base or ticket.

There is literally no opposition, they wanted to use it to pass other bills or measures at the same time because it has complete bipartisan support.

Congress sucks ass.

Supplement your offensive salt gun strategy with spiders.

Yeah its poor man’s VPN like DuckDuckGo being based in the US but still somehow having a suspiciously spotless record.

Isolate it and only allow the domains you need.

“*” match solves lazy domain matching and smart TV OEMs would be getting lawsuited if they failed to function without an internet connection when HDMI input is provided.

The correct answer is VLAN/MAC jail or no connection.

Even DNS blocks won’t stop persistent tracking which often has fallback IPs.

Isolate it and only allow the domains you need.

That incident reminded me of Kevin Mitnick leaving a box of donuts for the FBI lol.

Probably USA.

Never seen a chair in an assembly line section except for an occasional desk.

Actually tbh I think the chair aspect is the least concerning. Chair vs standing is usually based on the task required, where chair is only provided as a necessity like work that requires higher precision or a certain type of dexterity.

Would probably see chairs for something like component soldering or sewing.

Otherwise they could easily fashion all those workers with a cheap plastic chair in the picture since they clearly spent the money on proper attire and health standards.

Looks like seafood processing, which I’ve never seen a chef or cook do sitting lol. Have seen squatting but I don’t think that counts.
