I wouldn't say "any old computer", power consumption on old boxes can be high. I have an old box that pulls 120w at idle, so it only runs a couple hours a day, at most, to replicate files.

Wow, $18 for base model, add $7 for the case.

Great upgrade to my ancient pi zero w

Wow, not really off the mark.

Upper class English spoke French in Shakespeare's time, seeing the English language as the tongue of the commoners, lower class folk.

Part of what made Shakespeare's plays different - he brought comedy similar to Moliere's into English.

Hahaha, history of the world!

Took me several reads of the headline to start with.

Then connecting it to the article contents, at least this is "accurate clickbait" (if there is such a thing). It actually describes what's going on, we just interpret it differently initially because of current circumstance (which I suppose you could say is the fldefinition of clickbait).

Still clickbait, but at least it's not an outright lie like so many, just worded to make us want to click!

I'm a bit chagrined to have been taken in by the extreme interpretation of the headline, when the milder interpretation (in a different climate) would be inoffensive.

Ffs, how far have we come when I'm showing appreciation for a clickbait headline's milder interpretation is accurate enough to not be a lie, but just attention-grabbing?

Why did fender mounter turn signal indicators fall out of fashion?

I don't think this should be sarcasm, the power companies are liable in the same way

Oooh, cromulent. Nice.

Hell, seats in the back used to be the cheapest - takes you longer to get off, and generally noisier since it's behind the wings/engines. It's also a rougher ride.

I liked flying there because no one else wanted those seats, so I could often get an empty row (way back when)

Windows isn't an OS? What kind of nonsense is this?

I'd say the team from DEC who created it, would differ.

Wouldn't you validate that update on a test machine in an isolated environment....like we've done since forever?

I had to create an email filter to stop getting emails about that dumb shit.
