"Fundamental" truths about software:

- Code is liability

- The more code you have, the more bugs you tend to have

- The more complex a system, the more important architecture becomes

- Writing maintainable code is a lot more effort than just getting it to work

American complaining on online store "The shipping is too stiff."

Well... This has nothing to do with the e-store and fact that tariffs is a mess + shipping has been more expensive with all providers.

You can complain to * look at notes " ah yeah... To your "elected officials".

House Policy Bill Would Add $3.4 Trillion to Debt, Swamping Economic Gains

NEW: Even factoring in economic growth, the House tax bill would still add to the debt -- more than $3 trillion if you factor in the costs of Republicans' agenda and the fact that the debt itself would become more expensive to service.

Forced Consent & Consent Bypass

16 June 2025
Meta announced today that it also wants to introduce ads on WhatsApp, which will be based on personal data from Facebook and Instagram. This further integrates WhatsApp into other Meta services - an originally independent app, which initially was available for just $1 per year without ads or data usage. This also means that Meta is consolidating its social networking monopoly. EU law was actually supposed to prevent this."

Make it a reverse check.

That if THEY call, THEY have to give you a TOTP. Still vulnerable to "man-in-the-middle".

#OTD in 1986, Chornobyl’s reactor No.4 exploded, releasing 400 times more radiation than Hiroshima.

While Soviet officials fled, locals were left in the dark. The truth emerged only after radiation reached Sweden.

It marked the start of Ukraine’s break from Soviet rule.

I changed my address quite a lot in the past 5/7 years including most of it in out-of-country locations.
I could go vote early, received my card and verified on the elections.ca website couple weeks ago.

Interesting error on an HP OMEN laptop: nvlddmkm Error (ID 0, 14, 153).
Only appears after 72H running. bios, driver et al. all up-to-date, fresh OS too, Win 11.
Been a really head-scratcher to find the root cause.

Next attempt : Change DRAM.

I still put a mask on when I get in the plane or crowded space...
Mainly not for COVID but for regular flu-like issues and MOSTLY to not smell the bad breath and stinkiness of everyone else.
Also to not get a dry throat in planes.

What did 14 years of autocratic populism produce in Hungary?

Won't fit the bill... You have opinions. You need to embrace the opinions of your almighty leader, not have them on your own.
