It is not some big conspiracy.

Wired headphones have many pros, but also many cons. Wireless headphones have many pros, but also many cons. You can still buy wired headphones for modern phones using USB-C.

The vast majority of people literally don’t care or prefer having wireless air buds. The people who don’t, still can have wired ones.

The major distinction is that the headphone jack is large and not easily waterproofed. The trade off of having a sealed water tight phone at the cost of losing the headphone jack is worth it for the vast majority of people. It is worth it to me.

If you don’t like it, go buy a Zune.

Using your own WiFi router also bypasses the wireless security settings to access the school network.

Some resources are only available while on the network (printers, access to library, academic papers, other student hardware). Now imagine a random person in a coffee shop next door had u limited access to these resources via an unmanaged access point.

Relax, show a willingness to learn and you’ll be ok.

I got my start working for university IT and made it all the way to a CS Ph.D. and into industry.

Edit: and get good sleep! It’s nearly midnight on the West coast, get as much good quality sleep as you can.

That’s not how you write off a corporate jet from your taxes.

I refuse to put anything on my phone, she as naked as the day I got her.

I’ll bring hammocks

A live stream with tens of thousands of simultaneous viewers is, almost by definition, a scheduled DDOS. Even Apple struggled for years to get it right for their WWDC Keynote events back when they were live.

Fundamentals: Intel powers the US military industrial complex, they’ll weather this storm.

Yep, and Llama 3.1 just came out, which is the most open state-of-the-art LLM out right now.

I agree, the speculative execution failure feels like the start of the bad times for modern Intel.

Well, how did it go?

Yes, pretty sure on both accounts.

I mean, this is like seeing the Dutch East India Company or Shakespearean London or the events of Les Mis in Game of Thrones.

In my mind, these are very distinct time periods. One has castles, the other had coffee.

The Chevy Volt PHEV was an absolutely fantastic car, I was very sad the day I sold it and even more sad when GM said they were discontinuing the line. Whoever brings a PHEV truck to the market with 100 miles of all-EV range, I’ll buy it day one.

Nah, they will simply sell the planes to other markets. I’m sure there are plenty of non-US airlines willing to gobble up planes at a discount. The pundit and lobby machine would get engaged and magically there would be a big industry bailout to cover the losses.

Throw in a handful of shredded Parmesan and this is a dinner my kids will pretty much always eat.

Add some peas and bacon and that is a dinner I will pretty much always eat.

Pretty sure the 5th Amendment doesn’t protect against obstruction of justice if you knowingly wipe your phone while under custody

I’ve tried many over the years, and I keep going back to YNAB. Been happy using it for the better part of 4-5 years now.
