Idiocracy is about what happens after the current time when smarter more level headed people are trying to put the pieces back together. We are in the prequel era, things are going to get worse before they get better.

Though this does vary by locale, in most places legally it’s only permanent if you have to leave it there when you move.


For a permanent installation, yes, just like a large solar installation. But I can go down to Lowe’s and get a gas generator capable of similar output as the balcony solar and it won’t require any permits.


No it isn’t. The same thing happens with the kind of gas generators you can get from your local hardware store all the time.


Obviously. I was just pointing out that it isn’t an issue unique to solar.


The same thing that currently happens when somebody does that with a gas generator? Linepersons get zapped… people get sued… etc…
There isn’t any data transmission over the wires…
That’s very wrong. Not only can you extend Ethernet in your own home using your power outlets, the power companies have been reading meters this way for decades.


As a penis haver who has been falsely accused of sexual assault, it’s far more common than you think.

I think most people don’t realize that Usenet is older than the World Wide Web. It’s still a thing because it wasn’t corporatized like the Web was.
AT&T used to include Usenet access as part of your Internet connection since both Usenet and the Web are on the Internet but they quit doing that some years ago (back in the halcyon days of DSL).

Have you thought about adding the erasable pen libraries?


This feature debuted on the Moto Atrix in 2011. There was even a version of Ubuntu that could use the feature.


IDK, when I was finishing my CS degree there were some people in my class that didn’t know the difference between Mac and Windows. The ‘weldingification’ of development means that for over a decade now people who write or research code may not know anything about computers.


I was responding to the second sentence, not the first.


USB-C (top) is based on the Cinema Display power connector (bottom) from the early 2000s:



The USB standard was made by Intel and the USB-C port is based on a port designed by Apple…


My laptop takes 300w to charge. We aren’t quite there yet with USB-C. It will trickle charge off USB-C though.
Edit: It’s a 16in Lenovo Legion from 2023.


From what I have seen Anthropic, OpenAI, etc. seem to be running bots that are going around and submitting updates to open source repos with little to no human input.
You can do that as part of an OAuth workflow. You don’t need to have them on separate pages for that to happen.
