9 days agoI’ll have to add my wish that strangers would buy me things I want to my Amazon wishlist.
Since I invariably wind up getting “name suits” types of comments, here’s the explanation behind it:
Around the turn of the millennium, I was trying to come up with a username to use on a particular site that had a shortish character count limit for usernames. My goal was something related to the fact that I would often be making my points in arguments with “holier-than-thou” types by taking what they were saying, and turning it on its head so the offensive stuff was directed back at them.
I also happened to learn shortly beforehand that many years ago “'ape” was somewhat commonly used as a verb to mean “imitate” or “copy.”
I’m sure you can figure the rest out.

Hmm, wonder if Bluetooth (D)DoS attacks are a thing.
Turn off “debug” in the app settings to stop that & have it only report suspect devices instead of everything it sees.
Sorry - edited my comment as you were replying. It’s in the app’s settings menu.
It’s supposed to ask for Bluetooth access at that point, did it?
Also from the GitHub page:
if you don’t see the scan starting, you might need to enable Foreground Service on your particular phone in the Settings menu [in the app’s settings, not the phone’s]

Dating myself with a reference to Highlander.
TBF, subconscious feelings of guilt often come out in seemingly illogical ways such as this. Not saying that’s definitely what happened, but it’s a possibility not to be summarily dismissed, either.

I don’t think I can push enough air out to make a difference - even from the back.

Read the post title again. Navigation is not the issue at hand.

Do they just jail those convicted of this, or do they also require undergoing significant therapy during the sentence? Because if they don’t, they’re only going to ensure increased levels of the anger & resentment which led to those extremist views to begin with.
Yep. Pretty sure the magistrate’s last name is Germanic, too. Went to German elementary school for a couple years as a child decades ago, and they really tended to make the kids feel guilty for the sins of their fathers.
The 34-year-old took the stage at the end of the march and endorsed neo-Nazi views before being immediately arrested by police.
On Wednesday, he was sentenced at Downing Centre local court to 12 months behind bars for intentionally inciting hatred.
The magistrate, Sharon Freund, criticised Koschel’s 40-second speech – in which he twice called Jews the “greatest enemy” – as clearly antisemitic and vilifying a vulnerable community.
Yes, but there were so many different cable standards that you weren’t always sure you had the right one on hand. USB has been such a godsend that the young’ns will never fully appreciate.
Banana plugs are a thing, and might even have plugged into the hole on the RCA jacks (probably not as they’re usually too wide, but it’s technically possible… I think - never tried it myself). However, they’re single conductors, not dual like RCA plugs are.
ETA: And, yes - I’m aware of the recent Tom’s Hardware article you’re referencing.
