I was thrilled to learn about this, too. I wasn't aware of it even as a long-time Debian user. However, trying the specific example that was listed in the article, I installed extrepo and enabled the mozilla repo. Unfortunately, fire

As an outsider, the thing I've noticed is that it appears the only way to nearly guarantee tenure is to bring in money. The author mentions applying for grants, but does not mention getting any. Not to say it's fair or anything,

I started managing my dotfiles in git and followed the pattern I found in Anders Knudsen's repository below. The most painful thing has been coming up with config that works across Linux and MacOS, but that's been chosen pain tha

They shouldn't be allowed to settle without admission of wrongdoing. This should affect them getting future contracts, but now it won't.

The fees vary wildly, from reasonable to outrageous. Some cleaning fees I've seen are as much as $500. At the time I was looking, these were not shown by Airbnb until checkout. It was an awful experience.

The dream of a "car that just drives itself" works for everyone. It serves both goals of letting people such as yourself take your car (optionally paying attention), while also making sure that car doesn't run over pedestria

It's awful. I absolutely hate it. First click: show chat. Second click: record meeting.

I've left negative reviews and they tend to get removed. I was once even warned by Amazon that my account could be deactivated for violation of the ToS after posting a review that pointed out all of the other fake reviews on a particul

Mine too. I took a pair in that had symptoms exactly as described in the service program description. Both the left and right earbud failed in their test machine, but Apple said my Airpods did not qualify because they were not part of the

This is cool, but my preference for a microwave is one that only has 2 buttons: +30sec and clear/off. That's it. Just press 30 seconds and it turns on for 30 seconds. Want two minutes? Press it 4 times. Want it to stop? Press

There's a similar problem to the "we'll create it cheaper if" issue in a lot of government software acquisition. Contractors, especially big companies, often want a lot more money to hand over source code for software.

You can find used 48 port Aruba or HPE switches on eBay or other market places for low prices. It varies, but if you are patient you may find an s3500-48p with 2 PSUs and a 4 port 10G adapter for around $200USD.

I'm not sure what the commenter's setup is, but I have one that (at least mostly) achieves the same thing. It is a combination of a few things: 1. Redirect all outbound DNS traffic to your own local DNS server (as described in th

I took an online class in 2015 that used Proctorio. Even at that time the proctoring/anti-cheat software was a nightmare. I was semi-accused of cheating because of "anomalies" during one of my tests. It was quickly cleared

I wrote a thorough description a how a seller was manipulating their reviews and put that into my own review. I got an official warning from Amazon and my review was removed. They said that my account could be closed if I repeated my viola

I do something similar with chrome (have to use sometimes it for testing compatibility), but just create a fresh profile every time with: chrome_dir=$(mktemp -d) echo "Using temp dir: $chrome_dir" /usr/bin&

I think they mean it isn't continuously transmitting the data to Amazon/Google/etc. The device does continuously monitor (capture) audio, but the detection is done locally and data is only transmitted to the respective servic

I'm all for self-service repair, but how would calibration be handled? If a repaired iPhone were somehow slightly out of spec, it is unlikely anyone will be hurt (sure, it isn't impossible). What if a repaired ventilator, insulin
