I’m 40 and our teacher explained why cursive was a thing in elementary school. I figured we were learning it so we could sign our name.

Take computers out of the picture. How long have we been using ballpoint pens? Cursive was obsolete even before computers took over how we write.

The only iPhone to be dropped and not get a cracked screen fell out of an airplane!

And he will do that for you at the low price of only $1. Better do it now before the price goes up.

Air traffic controller here. I only work overtime on pysilocybin.

That is sad to hear. I live in an area where almost no one wore masks. Even at the hight of the pandemic. Our local pharmacies got a bunch of N95s for free to give away free. There was supposed to be a limit but since no one was using them they would give me a lot of extra. I’m guessing they still have boxes stacked up somewhere.

Its also sad that this could have probably been prevented by using a wet saw with water hooked up. Anyone who has cut stone once without a wet saw walks away knowing they shouldn’t have been breathing that.

I did not see a video in the article. Here is a video of the lights on msn. I can’t figure out how to get an English page on there. Sorry.

Local storage can still be part of the cloud.

Where I live, there were mandates but no one enforced it and no one cared. During the worst of the pandemic it was odd to see someone with a mask. Some stores would have a sign saying you would not be allowed in unless you had a mask. Then you get in and no one had a mask on, not even employees.

I wonder what it was like in Huntington Beach.

I have always liked EFF’s Surveillance Self-Defense. Hopefully they are keeping them current.

Training you to be phished.

Yes it is. Look at the eyes on the ducks. Also the guy’s hands and nose. Dead giveaways.

When I saw “otter attack” the first thing that came to mind is they must have been harrasing them or too close to babies. Something stupid, whatever it was.

That is long, lets acronymize it: TWFKAT, pronounced twif-cat.

Gitchi miigwech sa! Nizhigajibii’.

Along with that, it is very odd how so many of my friends (not tech people really) think that Apple created this [feature/hardware/etc] even though it has been around long before Apple started doing it.

I don’t hate Apple users or anything. Although the type of Apple user you described is the worst. That kind of user is in any realm. Bikes, phones, cars, whatever. Its not just an Apple thing… but Apple does have a lot of them.

@bionicspud, I’ve been thinking of doing the same thing for the same reasons. How much storage does your instance use? I haven’t looked in to how asset caching works yet. It seems like it could easily get out of hand.
