Not a replicant

Looks like Australia will profit. We have a lot of lithium, and some of the others, china’s been undercutting the price for a while.

Gonna be a legal shitshow when he kicks off - imagine all the claims on his estate.

Panasonic, or some of the European brands are good. Or you buy the largest 4K computer monitor that can afford.

I put this in another thread: It’s not a big deal. They’re removing the bypassnro.cmd script, which is just this:

@echo off

reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OOBE /v BypassNRO /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

shutdown /r /t 0

You can still use shift-F10 at the same point, type those two lines (not the @ECHO OFF), and it will achieve the same result.

Well, if I’ve got no way to bypass it (when setting up for customers), I’ll create an account specifically for this purpose.

And proceed to poison the hell out of any data it sends.

Does it still let you sign in locally if you disable network interfaces in BIOS?

Lord, we don’t any windmills

There are windmills and turbines enough to turn

There are panels and hydros enough to burn, enough to last, ‘til the end of time

What the world needs now, is gas, sweet gas

It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of

The Australian Bureau of Meteorology is still up and running

www.bom.gov.au

Ignore the “NOT A HTTPS” website, it’s getting there.

Latest forecast track map for Alfred has it making a sharp turn on Tuesday and landfall on Thursday.

Yes, I know it’s not https, they’re working on it.

Wasn’t Klein the manager defending George Harrison against the plagiarism claim against “My Sweet Lord” (vs. “He’s so fine”), then Klein switched sides and was the plaintiff on behalf of the “He’s so fine” writers?

Or something like that.

I tried co-pilot. Once.

I asked it “why does Windows Defender peg my HDD* at 100%”

The reply was “I don’t know, but here are some google searches that might help”

Microsoft’s own co-pilot doesn’t seem to have access to microsoft products, so now I uninstall/deactivate it every opportunity I can.

*yes, a HDD. Not ideal for performance these days, but it’s the last laptop I have with a HDD, and I use it for experiments.

Can someone get Lord Sugar drunk and have him express a similar view about the US?

“err, hic the unites, uniting, united states should separism, seapar, separate the head of state role from the, ,uhh, head of government. They can have gonger, er, congress appoint a cereminimum, er ceremonial head of state with reserve powers to dissolve congress… burp”

That’s far too subtle to even register on Trump’s feeble brain cell.

So, how many children does he have vs. how many times he had to try?

Sex once = pregnant is a gift given to very few. Most people have to try a few times, so it raises the question of “just how gay?”

Is there a ratio of gayness?

2 attempts = 1 pregnancy means “slightly gay”

4 attempts = 1 pregnancy means “somewhat gay”

8 attempts = 1 pregnancy means “in the closet”

16 attempts = 1 pregnancy means “gay”

32 attempts = 1 pregnancy means “flaming”

Can we have a decision on this from the gay high council?

And here I was, thinking it was sheer coincidence and good luck. I guess that’s why I’m not “an expert”.

And when did Meta start caring about anything but harvesting and selling data? I mean, minors can’t consent to T&C (it’s a contract) so minors should be using it at all.

Infosys is a mistake. It’s a poor choice for anyone.

We’ll see. I’ve set the Group policy to limit feature updates to Win 10 22H2. I will be unhappy if they over-ride or reset a GPO.

And in “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.” and in the “The Great Escape”

Get Crazy (1983). Just a fun piece of silliness with a cameo from Lou Reed.
