It’s because the first few generations of DRM were extremely poorly implemented. My og kindle keyboard still works and will ignore the DRM (that would be locking me out of, for example, a library book after its due date) if you just change the file extension to one of the DRM free file types. It will also then let me distribute that ebook to others without restriction.
The discontinuation does not eliminate the ability to drag and drop files onto a Kindle; it simply removes a method that facilitated piracy by transferring older retail book formats via USB.
Err, what? So it’s only going to block certain file types?
Where’s Workaholic Dad who only comes around when your Mom who doesn’t really care if you lived or died unless you’re making her look good/bad to her friends asks him to beat you?
I really enjoy the post downvotes, as if to directly demonstrate why this is a terrible idea. It was a fair question and there is nothing wrong with asking it, but people are mashing downvote anyway because they disagree.
The button has too much power already and too few people are interested in using it correctly.
I see them fine, firefox on android and arch.
Guy selling something says buying it will make your, mother-in-law stop visiting, your kids smarter, and your dick longer, more at 11…
Yeah, someone should tell the guy at the bar checking IDs to piss off too. And what’s with these fucks at the pharmacy demanding to see my medical license. They shouldn’t be hassling me because someone else might be writing illegal scripts.
I mostly stay home and don’t go outside home except for work, so please recommend something inside my comfort zone
reads as:
please tell me how to find the fulfillment I’m missing without growing or changing
To which the only reasonable response is: No.
Make something. Electronic gizmos. Wooden thingamabobs. Textile whosawhatits. Repair lawnmowers. Whatever speaks to you. Find other people who do it already, learn from them.
Better still, make a better world—find a local civic group and volunteer. Put up animal boxes. Walk dogs at the shelter. Pick up garbage. Engage with vulnerable kids. Feed the needy.
What you’re feeling is far from novel or singular. I have no idea how we as a society have managed to forget how to deal with it. It is the very reason anyone does any of those things.
Drug tests. A lot of cups have a temperature sensor to foil would be fakers bringing someone else’s pee with them.
help me get started
You mean help her get started, right? Science fair is for kids, after all.
As a has-been science fair dad the best advice I can give: pick a different project. If you want to build a voice activated drawing robot with her at home, go for it. Sounds like a wonderful time and a great project for a girl interested in robotics.
It’s a bad science fair project for a primary student. Science fair projects, first and foremost, need to be the entrants own work. They should be able explain the ‘what’ and ‘how’ of all the steps and actually be able to do them. “[Dad/Mom]…” can be an explanation sometimes, but not this time. Second, unless it is an ‘engineering’ fair, it need to contain a testable hypothesis that is, you know, tested. If your project does not primarily involve measuring something, it’s almost certainly not right for a science fair. Third, rein it in a bit. You have chosen a huge project. It’s the kind of thing that could genuinely take months of your time even as an experienced roboticist. At least for a young kid, pick something where the write-up is most of the work. You should be able to do 90% of the experimental work in an afternoon. It can take longer to finish, but in a ‘checking in’ kind of way; waiting for mold to grow or an egg shell to dissolve.
Not trying to be a dick, but I really believe sticking with this project is setting you both up for failure.
I hope they’ve written a very broad definition of social media.
The problem is turning off wifi doesn’t actually turn off the wifi, it just stops a subset of packets being broadcast and won’t trasmit any data you want it to send. Among other things this is how ‘find my device’ works with the wifi and bluetooth “off”. They’re actually on.
It also won’t work since the service has enough precision to know whether you go in, and for how long. The real issue is that mobile phones are continuously broadcasting their location to any device that wants to listen, even if you turn wifi and bluetooth off.
I would call legal and IT. It’s outside the scope of my role to accept contacts on behalf of the company.
The unfortunate, actual reason is that people will pay more markup on the vacuum with useless shit added than it costs to add it. Explaining why humans are like this is unfortunately a less tidy and much more disappointing endeavour.
If you or one of your friends can self-host, my group used mumble before discord. I still don’t really know why we switched.
CDs for me. If you buy a big disc binder they really don’t take up that much room. Its about the same size as the 1971 compact OED that sits on the same shelf.
If I really wanted to get rid of them I’d just donate them to the local library system. The ones they don’t want they’d resell as a fundraiser.
Yeah, because career-minded prosecutors and judges never fuck over little people for minor, technical, harmless violations of the law. 🙄
Thus forcing everone to wonder why, if they believe some results are fraudelent, they are showing them to us at all.
Man, if only we had a word for disabling critical features in this way.
