You're on a PiP, official or not. I'd be looking elsewhere. I've never seen someone survive a PiP (this after 30+ years in corporate environments).
Just start looking, seems like nurses are needed everywhere.

It's excellent. It really shows how difficult it is, even for someone like Jeremy, who has some money
IP4 is shit
Lol, right, right. It's only run the internet for what, 40 years now?
Guess you missed the recent gaping hole in IP6 on Windows?
IP6 is only really useful in large (i.e. enterprise) environments . It offers no practical benefit to small networks at the moment.
And even enterprise will only switch as they build out new infrastructure. The cost to switch is very high, and the risk is far more concerning than any potential benefit.
Are you OK? Do you smell toast? Are you having a stronk?
I used to say the same thing, but now I have some serious test cases that are very, very, compelling.
As in: a subject never before broached verbally by me or my friend (or anyone I know, and I don't associate with many people), was discussed by me and my friend in the car, with exactly 2 phones in the car, one of which is de-googled (i.e. Runs a non-Google OS with no Google Play, etc).
Both of us receive ads for that subject the next day.
Mind, neither of us had even thought about that subject before, and it was something way out of left field for both of us - as in not at all related to anything in our lives, and was a complete "shower thought" moment for me.
I get there's a lot of predictive analysis out there, but you're talking predicting something for two people with vastly different lives (we're decades apart in age, for example, in very different fields).
And this ad had nothing to do with our common ground either.
I simply can't buy the predictive analysis on this one.
I've never used any of the usual social media nonsense (it always bothered me, the invasiveness was obvious - Lemmy is my first, and only perhaps a year ago and this particular event was 3 years ago), have zero social presence online - no photo storage, etc, have always kept things separated as much as I can (since the 90's, because we saw the data mining coming back then). And neither of us did any search for the subject, because there was no need - it was a throwaway kind of thought.
Haha, love it
It's not supposed to for anything but government. And it's not a key, it's an ID number. Not sure how else other than static you could do that.
It's also not supposed to be used for anything, but government (specifically, Social Security), and it even says so on the card.
And it even says so right on the card. 🤦🏼♂️
Do you know how to solder surface mount components? Because it's most likely a surface mount board.
Also, is it a mechanical failure of the port, or (more likely) a component failure? I've rarely been lucky for it to be a simple mechanical failure (and I disassemble pretty much anything that fails, because why not?)
Everything can be opened, I've been opening stuff since I was 5 years old (just ask my mother - nothing went untouched... I could usually get things back together and working). There's myriad ways devices are assembled, they rarely use glue or plastic welding, and almost never on the final enclosure - that's usually done with simple plastic latches that can be quickly assemble by machine.
You'll want a tool kit with a "spudger" - a super thin (1/16", 1-2mm) metal bar - that can slide between the tiniest joints to start working things loose. BS (Before Spudgers were commercially available), I used pocket knives, exacto/razor blades, tiny screwdrivers, etc. It's a tedious process, you typically break at least one of the latch tabs (I use Goop adhesive to put things back together - it holds almost anything).
It's even worse if the polarization of each is rotated.
The closer to 90° from one polarized lens to the next, the less light comes through. At 90° rotation lens-to-lens, all light is blocked.
Try it with your sunglasses and the visor removed from the helmet. Slowly rotate the visor and you should see it get darker and darker.
It's all about presentation.
Hyperbole like "Devil Incarnate" is such a turnoff that I don't think it'll be worth the time. Things like this are why I also don't read "Weekly World News".
Now, a title like "Mozilla's Problematic History" is a fox of a different species altogether.
I'm also uninterested in someone's rant.
