The Stadia controller is completely wireless.  Before this tool, there was no way to use it outside of Stadia.

Exactly, THIS is the definition of grooming. 

I’m glad that they're making the Bluetooth on the controllers accessible. Creating e-waste isn't ok. 

As the article notes, trash pickup there is once a month. That seems like a sensible number of cans for that frequency if some are for recycling.

It was changed to $684 per week ($35,568 per year) in 2020. I agree with you but, if a modern government thought that $17.10 per hour (assuming only 40 hours a week) was a good starting managerial salary, there’s not much hope for change in the near future.

Embedded systems like this aren’t the problem.  The 11% in the article is from Win 7 systems seen connecting to websites on the internet.  Without security updates, that’s a problem for the rest of us.

The reason that people let their pets into their beds now is because we have very good flea treatments now. That’s only been the case since the 90s so, unlike many claimed issues, this is a millennial/gen-z thing.

I have investment licenses in a couple of states and I’ve always wondered something about this. What if you use the knowledge of your upcoming automatic transaction to schedule when you announce something? That reversed insider trading wasn’t anywhere on our exams. I think I’ll ask it as a “what-if” after new years…

He bought that land over 20 years ago. It’s certainly worth far more than that now.

I’ve compiled these instructions into a .reg file located here.

I’ve heard this from a number of fellow technical people.  You do so well that you get promoted into management and no longer touch the tech and have to deal with people all day.  I wouldn’t last long in that position.

The article pointed out that they wouldn’t close any wells before they recouped their capital expenditures. Also, municipal governments have always had the right to rezone land especially if they can prove environmental issues.

It doesn’t in Michigan. You only report the mileage on the odometer to the state during the sale of the vehicle here. We also don’t have emissions testing and you can register just about anything that has a VIN on it. (I knew a guy who converted a VW microbus into a dune-buggy and had it properly insured, registered,…

The Republican candidate for Secretary of State in Michigan literally said, in public, that abortion was demonic child sacrifice*. With actual claims like that out there, how can anyone tell when someone is faking it?

That mistake was probably made because the list itself is sorted by reading scores in which The Philippines (a nation in Asia) is last.

Topiramate (the generic of Topamax) was working pretty well for me until I had kidney stones twice in ~18 months. It turns out that kidney damage is a side effect of that one.

My insurance doesn’t want to cover Emgality, so I’m on 1500 mg of divalproex sodium and 120 mg of propranolol daily. That first one has some interesting psychiatric side effects (it’s also used as a mood stabilizer).

About 1% to 2% of the population is estimated to experience chronic migraines, or episodes that occur at least 15 days out of the month.

She was nominated on October 26th, 2021 and her nomination hearings in committee started on December 1st, 2021. It’s been about a year stuck without any progress.

The education issue is related to a lack of education on critical thinking skills. Without them, people are susceptible to snake oil salespeople and FUD more generally. This failing isn’t new but the information age has made it easier and cheaper to exploit.
