Meanwhile, in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate...

I've had great luck running HomeAssistant on an R.Pi with the "HUSBZB-1" USB dongle. Zigbee support is perfect so far. Z-Wave required installation of an additional tool, but also working just fine.

Doesn't the ESP32 module this project is using require the same thing?

It works for now on x86-64, yes. For now. As always, we are one "think of the children" crisis away from lobbyists taking that option away.

It's not for you, it's for them. Secure boot means it only runs their operating system, not yours. Trusted enclave means it secures their DRM-ware from tampering by the user who owns the PC.

This is a quote from The Onion's endorsement of Joe Biden for president, which was posted October 3, because it's The Onion.

Amateurs. Baguette-based high-explosive squash-head (HESH) warheads are the future of improvised anti-tank munitions.

This is the mental equivalent of Saitama's workout from One Punch Man: 100 sit-ups, 100 pushups, 100 squats, and a 10-km run. (Repeat daily until your hair falls out.)

I'm speculating, but my guesses are:

• Gathering enough karma to post on subreddits that have a minimum threshold.
• Getting enough post and comment history to pass a casual inspection, either by human moderators or spam filters.
• Maturing the account to the point where it can be sold to another shady company.
• Generally having a lot of bot accounts ready, just in case.

Once mature, it's usually used for spam or astroturfing. There is a noticeable uptick around big elections, wars, etc.

I saw one repost-bot that metastisized into the most vile porn-spam-bot you can imagine, but they're usually more subtle than that.

The beard really brings this meme together. Rock and stone!

They're indistinguishable because they're copied from top-voted posts that are a few years old (title, text, and image if applicable). It's guaranteed to produce a post that fits the community and gets a lot of engagement, so it's a cheap and effective way to mature a bot account. Once you start looking for it, it's everywhere, and Reddit admins don't care.

I always thought it's because vacuums crave the souls of cats and dogs. TIL.

Technically correct is the best kind of correct.

"The definitive Voyager torpedo inventory log" is a classic.

With this event's non-occurence, the thread of prophecy is severed. Restore a saved game to restore the weave of fate, or persist in the doomed world you have created.

"Hmm. Computer says no."

Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai: I don't wanna get out of futon.

SATA= Slow (Max 6 Gbps) PCIe = Fast (Max > 100 Gbps in theory)

This is the maximum rate from the drive to the motherboard. Many drives are fast enough that SATA works become the bottleneck. With PCIe, the drive can run at its full speed, whatever that may be.

It's like Pokemon. You only get four skill slots.

Rarely. A good intro gives me a moment to set aside real-life worries and get into the right mindset to enjoy the show. TNG, DS9, VOY, and SNW are all bangers.
