A person with way too many hobbies, but I still continue to learn new things.

According to Buttigieg they are waking up thinking “Oh shit I don’t want people talking about that… what other fucked-up shit can I spew to distract the rubes?”
If you’re curious enough to get one, I’ve seen them on ebay as well. Might even be available on Amazon. I think they’ve been around for a couple years, I just got mine in April but still haven’t had time to fire it up and play with it.
Hmm I’m seeing a sale price right now, might be based off my order history though. I found another that has a standard price of $10.39, but all the ones I looked at are now also including a shipping cost around $4.50 so that jacks the price up even more.
All these taxes and tarrifs and what-not are really hurting people’s ability to get access to affordable items. I was looking at some solar panels right before the US added a tarrif to those items, so now I’ll wait to see what happens.
The board costs about $10, I have one on hand. Besides VGA and PS/2 ports, it also has an audio-out jack and a slot for SD cards. And if you want to compare specs, the ESP32 blows this away. Sure $1 sounds impressive, until you realize just how little you can do with it.
[Edit] Looks like the price has come down under $10 for this board now, here’s a link to get them from China.
So basically something like this only a whole lot LESS capable? Although if you specifically want to do RiscV coding then it does limit your options.
Hard to say for sure. They may have legitimately found something, but my experience with McAfee products has been abysmal. The last time I dealt with it, someone had the full paid version of their virus scanner which was up to date but wasn’t finding anything. I ran the free version of AVG and found over 200 items (mostly trojans and other malware). Their research may be valid, but I certainly wouldn’t trust any of their software to find even widely-known issues.

Now there’s an oxymoron. Let me know when they can write a virus scanner that works.
That’s such a common thing these days that I have to wonder if humans have always had this issue, or if it has anything to do with our modern lifestyles. I was going to do a sleep study at one point, but when I took their questionnaire I checked off no on everything on their list. Then I found out my insurance wouldn’t even cover it, and couldn’t afford to do the study anyway. Ah well, if I ever get back to a point where I’m having trouble sleeping again then I’ll reconsider.
Another suggestion… have you considered if something in particular might be preventing you from getting good sleep? In my case, I’ve had restless-leg for quite awhile which was managed by doing some stretches before bed as needed. After a really car car accident, that went into overdrive, the stretches made no obvious difference and so I didn’t think that was an issue any more, but apparently I was tossing and turning all night. I’d sleep for 9+ hours and wake up a zombie.
After years of this I finally talked to my doctor about it, we discussed a lot of things and I mentioned how I had previous had the problems with my leg pains at night. He decided to try treating this symptom and suddenly I started getting real sleep again. By now it has gotten so bad that if I forget to take my pills at night, my legs absolutely scream at me the moment I lay down in bed. Yeah I’ll be on this med the rest of my life, but I’m getting good sleep now and feeling energetic the day.
The point is, your issue may be something you have already dismissed without realize fully how it affects you. When an unknown problem comes up, sometimes you just have to go back and reevaluate everything.
Yeah but does that really compare to a single man destroying a $44 Billion dollar company?
Seriously, why hasn’t there been an investigation since he’s meddling directly with government affairs and working for a foreign enemy?
Don’t forget that Musk is also the one who intentionally blocked paid service from Ukraine during a critical moment in the early days of Russia’s current genocide, because Musk sucks up to Putin. Dude needs to answer for his actions.
I remember when me and a friend both had C64s and he got a 20MB HDD for it. He said “bring your floppies over and we’ll swap software, I have tons of space now!” Big surprise, I had way more floppies than he had drive space. 😆 These days I don’t mess around, I have around 105TB of storage with room for expansion as drives get cheaper.
Put me down for one Amiga 1000 (which I still have with the 2MB expansion), I found a used one for sale and snagged it for $300 (before the A500 or any other models were released). I thought it was a great deal.
After the string of bad decisions he’s already made with this company, what makes you think he’s able to make good choices now? He has an echo-chamber where nobody can tell him to GTFO and that’s literally the only thing he’s ever getting out of it. It’s kinda like if someone paid an obscene amount of money for a junker car, then paid 10x that amount to put vanity plates on it.
There’s definitely been a lot of talk about the whole “pay us and we can make that bad review from someone who wasn’t your customer just go away.” Some say that never actually happened, and yet I was IT support for a small business who contacted Yelp to find out why non-customers were allowed to leave bad reviews and they were directly told that for a fee those reviews would be removed.
Sorry, I just realized I crossed up my evil businesses. Yelp did the whole protection-racket thing, it was LinkedIn that hacked people’s computers and keep sending out emails in their customer’s names (“I heard about this great company, you should check them out…”).

That’s a curious way to spin “a bunch of con artists who built a business by hacking people’s computers and sending out emails in those people’s names”.
It would be rather fitting to see him have a stroke in November as the election counts come in for a landslide defeat, but it’s doubtful either one of those things will happen.
“He doesn’t think that elections are a real thing. He doesn’t think that elections are legitimate, and he doesn’t want an American form of government in which elections decide whether or not he’s in power because he doesn’t believe election results should be binding.”
