Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•This letter from "Friends of Zion" my grandmother received todayEnglish
346·10 months agodon’t think anyone is in the right here.
Still, the number of Israeli’s killed is nowhere near the over 40,000 Palestinians killed. So it’s weird to be pro-Israel.

Unlike professional hosting services with static IPs, residential plans assign dynamic IP addresses that change as often as the relationship partners of people with borderline personality disorder.

1·1 year agowe still get ads on our smart LG TV
That’s when I hit the mute button, hold the remote with my finger on the OK button ready to skip, and use the remote to block my view of anything but the bottom right corner of the screen. Then when I see the skip button appear, I can click it.
Recently I have discovered that I can just use the “why this ad?” menu and select “return to video”. That way you can skip any ad before the timer runs out.

So nobody is going to ask about the rotary phone?
I’d rather not. It’s literally a Dell workstation machine from the mid-2000s. It’s like Wolfgang’s Channel kryptonite

1·1 year agoparents idling a car from house to house instead of parking and walking with their kids
And they drive like lunatics as well. Lots of them drive at high speeds in the night with kids running around and in a vehicle with poor visibility and don’t yield to pedestrians. I saw this one car last night weave through some pedestrians crossing the street. Like c’mon… this isn’t North Korea. Let them cross the street
Not all companies will do that
I would also never let corporate IT manage a device, e. g. a laptop connected to my private network at home.
If you ever must, buy a new laptop. And use it on a guest wifi network. Use it as you would a work laptop, nothing personal on it

2·2 years agoI’m sure some digital piracy involves stealing. Someone has to have taken some floppy disk software from a store and walked out without paying for it, then made pirated copies of that disk
