Will say that i have had ridiculous issues with printers, bluetooth, audio input and MS Teams on linux though. Hilariously - almost anything that interacts with others

Comic by War and Peas. Panel 1: Two green aliens are at a press conference, sitting behind microphones. One alien happily says, "Jesus? We love that guy!" Panel 2: A human reporter with a microphone looks surprised and says, "We’ve been waiting centuries for his second coming." Panel 3: The first alien casually responds, "Really? He comes to us every year." The second alien adds, "We invited him for cookies. What did you do?" The reporter starts to sweat. Panel 4: Both aliens pause, looking inquisitive. One alien asks, "Wait. What did you do?" All reporters sweat.

My 7 y.o. daughter practicing addition has started doing this thing where she asks us random addition questions

Today was β€œwhat’s 1+1? 2+2? 4+4? 8+8? …, …”

she has no idea how trained I am in this specific question

I had to deal with a compliance body that was actually this dumbβ€”which is the mobile marketing association.

They’d send audit letters if they found your short code on the web that didn’t have the correct disclaimers, so I spun up a Heroku site that violated their policy for every short code.

An xkcd comic. It's hand-drawn, made to look like a screenshot of an app store, showcasing an app called Tornado guard, made by DroidCoder2187

The app's description: Plays a loud alert sound when there is a tornado warning for your area.

It has a 4 out of 5 stars rating based on 4 reviews

User reviews:

5 out of 5 stars: Good ui! Many alert choices.

5 out of 5 stars: Running great, no crashes

5 out of 5 stars: I like how you can set multiple locations

1 out of 5 stars: App did not warn me about tornado.

Caption: The problem with averaging star ratings

illustration of a bunch of people in an elevator with LOTS of jpeg artifacting. accompanying text reads:
You are in an elevator on the 1st floor. Inside the elevator are 5 people going to the 4th floor.
 
Someone going to the 3rd floor is headed for your elevator. Another elevator is arriving soon.

Do you mash the close button? What if you make eye contact?

A British pensioner whose bland sandwiches gained him unexpected fame in China has died. Keith Brown, a retired engineer known on Chinese social media as
"Old Dry Keith", became a hit when his Chinese wife Zhang Jian began to post videos of him assembling the ham and cheese sandwiches he liked to eat. Chinese observers were grimly fascinated by his dry, boring sandwiches, and his gentle, stoic manner - and he built up a cult following. "We go from questioning the dry old man, to understanding the dry old man, to becoming the dry old man," observed one cultural commentator.
"The old man is us, and his dry lunch is our dry life."
