They're horrific and apparently invisible to people. Any time I point them out I've been called crazy and told I was overreacting. Until driving around Illinois with a coworker when he started to understand the scale of it all. The more I see the more dizzying it becomes. There needs to be regulation for them

No this is honest. I travel a lot for work and I feel like I see more Trump signs in CT than I did in KY. Not to say that there aren't more Trump supporters in KY, but they are a LOUD minority

These people are genuinely insane. The locals in CT act genuinely surprised when they get any pushback against their Christo fascist asses. There's one guy who has been sitting out on Rt-6 that I make sure to flip off every time I see him and every time he makes a big stink. I know I'm far from the only one doing it though

My company hired an AI person and I was sure to tell him I stripped the registry values from my computer. I'm an admin sooo

And yet we don't want our posts to be fed into AI slop, nor do we want independent hosts to pay for the massive amount of traffic generated by a massive corporate entity to trying to consume data en masse.

The gay Republican I know is also deep in denial. Sad to see in all honesty

I'll take the bear in case you were wondering too.

Care to explain what an awful choice that is?

I remember NiCad batteries still being used in power wheels toys as a kid. For all I know they may still be, but the battery advancements have been particularly amazing.

I used to be a POS tech. It's such a gross, mismanaged walled garden.

Currently I spend a lot of time advising against pop ups like that :^)

It works for some, I'd caution even trying it though. If the bag scales are enabled, the weight discrepancy will flag it. Depending on how sensitive it is and jaded the workers are they may just press the bypass without a care.

Alternatively, imaging scanners (non laser based) tend to have the option of "produce assurance" where the image of what was scanned/keyed is compared against the average entry. Too big of a discrepancy will flag and force manual verification.

Shitty in the interim for sure, but it's nice knowing how disruptive it's getting. I outright tell work places I will not go. I also have brought up the embarrassing but truthful act of needing to look up bathroom laws for places I travel to. A lot of coworkers after meeting me realize just how absurd it's gotten; and how transphobia affects them even.

I hate having to be the trans representative for so many people, but the fact it's had a noticeable affect on people's viewpoints is nice at least.

I have some friends in Florida; one moved there recently in part against his better judgement. He told me I'm welcome to stay with him if I ever were in the area. I had to tell him it's not only dangerous but outright illegal for me to. I'm not risking a fraud charge for having changed my gender marker.

So yeah. Their loss, and they're starting to feel it.

Not the windows troubleshooter, as the mic was otherwise fine. There was nothing I could find in any Teams settings, and the admin panel showed all of the telemetry as being fine.
