The whole point of the cat thing was to point out the absurdity of the claim that reality isn’t real until you know about it. The cat is already in whatever state you observe when you open the box. It’s not both alive and dead, it’s either alive or dead.

Given that the tech they need to understand here is paper, empathy is hard and it’s just frustrating. Computers, complicated. Paper, extremely uncomplicated. This is just refusal to use the noodle.

I guess I better buy a new Pi before they quintuple in price for half the quality

Or just don’t connect the TV to your network. It has inputs. Use an input device you have control over. The end.

You should be able to hit the power button while on a call and turn off the display, then put it to your ear. Much less effort than the people around you have to make to keep from slapping you

This link is absolute cancer on mobile, unusable

“No, don’t [do that]” is not a double negative, it’s just two independent negatives in a row, they don’t affect each other. A double negative would be like “don’t not do that” which will mean “do not fail to do that” to most people.

I still have a G1 in a drawer, every couple years I find it again and spend a few minutes flipping the screen open and shut. What a fun mechanism.

It wasn’t flight-worthy, it just hadn’t crashed yet.
