In a perfect world, I could appreciate the concept. At the end of the day, I do need to buy stuff, and I’d rather know about the available options. If I’m definitely not going to buy diapers but I’m definitely going to buy a new keyboard in the next month or two, I’d rather see keyboard ads than diaper ads.

But that’s only in theory. In practice, “targeted” ads are invariably sleazy scams. You bet I use uBO.

fucking finally!

Thank you, I have now been unwooshed

… four?

Good point, I edited that in :)

Look, I happen to know what this is but I really hate posts that just assume everyone knows what they’re talking about.

So for everyone else: this is the newly announced Steam Machine, a gaming PC/console that will run SteamOS (Linux) (or any other OS of your choice) and overall looks freaking awesome.

I use both btw

Woah. Sir, this is trademark infringement. You’re only allowed to use that phrase with Arch.

Yup, Cinnamon is slow on Wayland support, but they’re getting there. Eventually.

Well, if you insist… How far is it from Toronto to Ottawa? (bracing myself…)

but if you hear a Canadian say “miles per hour”, it also means km/h

Tell me you’re joking.

Don’t think about a pink elephant.

Police, this guy right here.

The post. The email in the screenshot.

I call bullshit. I hate Microsoft as much as the next guy, but this seems fake to me.

Edit: I initially assumed OP created the fake email deliberately for ragebait. But most other people are assuming OP thinks (or thought) this email was real, meaning it’s a scam email and OP’s friend might be actively falling for the scam. I now agree with this interpretation. Sorry my initial comments were a bit rude.

What, you think this isn’t real experience? It absolutely is. She’s a true master!

I think (not 100% sure) that UEFI is a replacement for BIOS. All modern computers use UEFI.

People still colloquially call it “BIOS” because it serves a similar purpose, but there is a technical difference.

0/5 stars. We stayed here for an infinite amount of time over the holiday. Every 10 minutes the staff moved us to a different room! We didn’t even get a chance to unpack our infinite luggage.

Such a good picture. The gap under the door must be huge though for a phone to pass through.

If at all possible, don’t put drawers and doors in places were they can block each other like this. If space is limited and there was no other choice, so be it, but otherwise it’s the owner’s fault.

Man these kitties are adorable!

Yup, that’s my interpretation too. It just doesn’t sit well with all the other operators.

All the others are phrased as direct questions about the values of A and B:

• A AND B = “Are A and B both true?”
• A OR B = “Are either A or B true, or both?”
• A NAND B = “Is (A AND B) not true?”
• A IMPLIES B = “Is it possible, hypothetically speaking, for it to be the case that A implies B, given the current actual values of A and B?”

You see the issue?

Edit: looking online, some people see it as: “If A is true, take the value of B.” A implies that you should take the value of B. But if A is false, you shouldn’t take the value of B, instead you should use the default value which is inexplicably defined to be true for this operation.

This is slightly more satisfying but I still don’t like it. The implication (ha) that true is the default value for a boolean doesn’t sit right with me. I don’t even feel comfortable with a boolean having a default value, let alone it being true instead of false which would be more natural.

Edit 2: fixed a brain fart for A NAND B
