Maybe we should write an open letter to our senators and congressman and request that they draft legislation to make it illegal for hardware vendors to software lock hardware capabilities behind a paywall.

If I buy a $100,000 vehicle I shouldn't have to pay 50 60 80 100 $200 a month to utilize the features that are built into the physical hardware of the vehicle I have purchased.

I can understand a fee for internet access or for premium radio subscriptions or something but not to use the heated seats and battery life that is physically built into the vehicle I purchased.

Well technically three years is all that separates their child brides from being legally old enough to consent when transported across state lines, so I'm sure that must be just enough difference in their minds.

It's kind of like when Justin Bieber was rocking the pedo stash and nobody said anything.

Anybody over the age of 25 was like dude that's a pedo stash, you shouldn't wear that unless you're a pedo.

I mean, I'm not that old but I am out of shape but it doesn't take a lot of effort to use a sniper rifle. I can just sit on a hill and pick off every red flag wielding red hat I see.

What makes me laugh is the idea that if Trump were declared dictator for life, how long do you think his life would be?

One, the man weighs 280 lb in his 70s. He does not have long left.

Two, the best way to become dictator for life is to be announced dictator for life. This second best way is to kill the current dictator for life and take his seat. How long do you think it will take all of the people that follow Trump for money to realize that putting a bullet in his head would get them more money?

All right Johnson, HR has decided that you can pick one day a week to war from home, but you're only going to get halftime pay for that.

I have taken the A+ certification on two separate occasions and the first time I walked in with no training and aced it. The second time I walked in with no training and I struggled but I still passed.

The CompTIA certifications do get updated on a roughly 3-year cycle, but even so they're never going to cover everything and even if you can pass the test it doesn't actually mean that you are a competent IT person.

Yeah I only learned about that in the comments down below. I was just going off what they taught me when I took my network+ what 3 years ago?

Ethernet being reconditioned to Auto negotiate crossover connections was not covered or if it was it was a blurb and I forgot it in the meantime.

I was not aware of this!

You would also need a type A to type B ethernet cable, AKA a crossover cable.

Without that you will need some sort of switch to act as an intermediary between the two devices.

Human beings are bioluminescent.

We glow so faintly that we can't see each other in the dark but we can be picked up in the dark by sensitive enough equipment.
