  • According to Vivian he also paid extra to have them select only male embryos during the in vitro process, or something like that (not sure about the details and correct terminology) - and didn't get what he paid for in Vivian's case... Which I guess probably also contributed.

  • Not where I work. My thinkpad is managed by the understaffed IT department, and is severely crippled by clownstrike and other garbage and bloatware. Linux is not allowed, only windows.

    But my colleagues who chose a MacBook don't have all that crap because said IT department haven't figured out how to remotely manage Macs yet...

  • I suggest changing it slightly to POTUSITO - President of the United States In Title Only.

    Has the added bonus of -ito being a diminutive suffix in Spanish, and probably many related languages, so afaik one could read it as "little POTUS" 😁

  • Agreed

  • Reminds me of my Polish colleague who once arrived at the office and said: "I would say good morning. But it's not a good morning. "

    The previous night our manager had taken the team out for dinner and drinks, paid for by the company. It wasn't a good morning for any of us 😁

  • Both of these "parents" were arrested and convicted for child abuse.

    DaddyOFive was horrible, and straight up abuse. I was there when it was exposed by some big youtuber and then the story took off on reddit. It was very disturbing, and even more so to know that hundreds of thousands of people subscribed to the channel and thought it was funny entertainment... Thankfully the parents were arrested, and the children got help, but my faith in humanity got permanently damaged during those days.

    From skimming the description on Wikipedia I'm glad I've never seen anything from that other channel.

  • You could try to use Kodi as the client / player / media center, with the jellyfin addon (and kodi-sync-something plugin on the jellyfin server side). It works great for me, plays pretty much everything, subtitles are very rarely a problem. Not everyone likes the Kodi UI, but I love it. There's many skins available, and you can really customize it if you spend some time with it. I run Kodi on my nvidia shield connected to my TV, but in the past I have also ran it on a raspberry pi 3 with very few problems.

  • You should also say/yell "I do not consent!", because it's illegal to search or arrest someone without their consent. It was a popular spell a few years ago, but I don't see it being used much anymore, so it's possible that the cops have found a counterspell. 😉

  • Not an expert, but the only thing I can imagine is that it's related to certificates or keypairs used for encrypted communication / authentication. Afaik ssl certificates can be issued to a given company, for example, and might become invalid when that company no longer exists. Or it becomes impossible to issue new ones.

    Something in that vein, maybe.

  • I saw that on some TV show years ago - Microsoft was obviously sponsoring since every laptop and phone had a windows logo on it, and at one point one character said to another "Just Bing it!" (in a context where you'd normally say "just google it")

  • Had a similar thing at work not long ago.

    A newly deployed version of a component in our system was only partially working, and the failures seemed to be random. It's a distributed system, so the error could be in many places. After reading the logs for a while I realized that only some messages were coming through (via a message queue) to this component, which made no sense. The old version (on a different server) had been stopped, I had verified it myself days earlier.

    Turns out that the server with the old version had been rebooted in the meantime, therefore the old component had started running again, and was listening to the same message queue! So it was fairly random which one actually received each message in the queue 😂

    Problem solved by stopping the old container again and removing it completely so it wouldn't start again at the next boot.

  • From what I remember:

    Season 5 was even worse, but at times it was "so bad it's good", so it was entertaining in an unintended way. Watch it to laugh at the mind-blowingly bad writing 😂 I wonder what drugs they had in that writer's room...

    Season 6 actually had some really good moments/episodes in the first half, but then it fell apart again.

    Season 7 was mostly nonsense, and I stopped watching after the second to last episode.

    Maybe one day I'll watch the rest (season 8 was the last)...
