    No, that was one of our main books. This was something pretty obscure, I've never seen anyone mention it and I don't really remember any more details than that off the top of my head

    I was behind in my literature class in like, 7th grade. The books were boring as hell and I couldn't make myself read the chapters at night.

    Our teacher gave us a list of bonus titles to catch up for like, 1.5x the points of a normal book, so I jumped on the first one on the list.

    I don't remember the title of the book unfortunately, but about one or two chapters or so, the either the main character or their neighbor or something...

    ::: spoiler Gruesome ...snaps the head of their cat off while petting it :::

    Proceeded to put the book down and hand it back into the teacher and ask for a different one. I don't think she was aware of the content of the book

    I appreciate the apology, things get a bit heated online, I completely understand. Your picture is quite stunning, and I'm saving up for a camera so I can hope to take pictures like it and not rely on my Pixel.

    My original look was on hotel wifi and I was unable to load the extensive detail in the image to see just how many stars there truly are visible. If you don't have one already, a star tracker can help get rid of the smear from the earth's rotation, and let you get some longer exposures. I played around with one my roommate bought me for Christmas, but it doesn't make too much of a difference with phone photography. Was looking through your other images and saw you mentioned one :P

    Best of luck man, keep taking awesome pictures

    I didn't intend to offend or insult your work, I've usually been able to look at the colors of the image and tell it's a pixel and verify in the comments, but I was wrong in this case.

    This is a picture from my pixel 6. The picture you linked for your pixel 6 doesn't look like you have astrophotography mode on (Night sight does a significantly shorter exposure compared to astrophotography)

    I said it looked like it came from a pixel camera because it has that signature hue that I normally see taken with pixels

    I'm 21 and have had a very similar experience with my mother. l've never even considered schizophrenia as a possible diagnosis, but frankly it doesn't matter too much for me anymore; she's been cut out of my life for a while now and I have no interest in making any connection to her.

    While you may not be in the same situation, I'd consider going no-contact with her. I can't say I've ever felt loved by my mother, so this may not apply for you. That of course requires being able to afford your own place, but best of luck to you!

    Linus never said he hates unions, he said he'd feel that he failed as the owner if his employees felt so underrepresented that they needed a union.

    He has historically expressed support of unions in other companies and hasn't been against one in his own, he just doesn't want his company to need one.

    In regards to the misconduct...
    Announcement on the WAN show of the 3rd party results
    Post that matches the one on Twitter

    And the actual contents of the post:

    There were a series of accusations about our company last August from a former employee. Immediately following these accusations, LMG hired Roper Greyell - a large Vancouver-based law firm specializing in labor and employment law, to conduct a third-party investigation. Their website describes them as “one of the largest employment and labour law firms in Western Canada.” They work with both private and public sector employers.

    To ensure a fair investigation, LMG did not comment or publicly release any data and asked our team members to do the same. Now that the investigation is complete, we’re able to provide a summary of the findings.

    The investigation found that:

    • Claims of bullying and harassment were not substantiated.

    • Allegations that sexual harassment were ignored or not addressed were false.

    • Any concerns that were raised were investigated. Furthermore, from reviewing our history, the investigator is confident that if any other concerns had been raised, we would have investigated them.

    • There was no evidence of “abuse of power” or retaliation. The individual involved may not have agreed with our decisions or performance feedback, but our actions were for legitimate work-related purposes, and our business reasons were valid.

    • Allegations of process errors and miscommunication while onboarding this individual were partially substantiated, but the investigator found ample documentary evidence of LMG working to rectify the errors and the individual being treated generously and respectfully. When they had questions, they were responded to and addressed.

    In summary, as confirmed by the investigation, the allegations made against the team were largely unfounded, misleading, and unfair.

    With all of that said, in the spirit of ongoing improvement, the investigator shared their general recommendation that fast-growing workplaces should invest in continuing professional development. The investigator encouraged us to provide further training to our team about how to raise concerns to reinforce our existing workplace policies.

    Prior to receiving this report, LMG solicited anonymous feedback from the team in an effort to ensure there was no unreported bullying and harassment and hosted a training session which reiterated our workplace policies and reinforced our reporting structure. LMG will continue to assess ongoing continuing education for our team.

    At this time, we feel our case for a defamation suit would be very strong; however, our deepest wish is to simply put all of this behind us. We hope that will be the case, given the investigator’s clear findings that the allegations made online were misrepresentations of what actually occurred. We will continue to assess if there is persistent reputational damage or further defamation.

    This doesn’t mean our company is perfect and our journey is over. We are continuously learning and trying to do better. Thank you all for being part of our community.

    This is just a theory, I don't have knowledge of the inner-workings of either Linux or Windows (beyond the basics). While Microsoft has been packing tons of telemetry in their OS since Windows 10, I think they fucked up the I/O stack somewhere along the way. Windows used to run well enough on HDDs, but can barely boot now.

    This is most easily highlighted by using a disk drive. I was trying to read a DVD a while ago and noticed my whole system was locked up on a very modern system. Just having the drive plugged in would prevent windows from opening anything if already on, or getting past the spinner on boot.

    The same wasn't observed on Linux. It took a bit to mount the DVD, but at no point did it lock up my system until it was removed. I used to use CDs and DVDs all the time on XP and 7 without this happening, so I only can suspect that they messed up something with I/O and has gone unnoticed because of their willingness to ignore the issues with the belief they're being caused by telemetry

    The CVE has to do with the utility not correctly identifying private IP addresses supplied to it in a non-standard format, such as hexadecimal. This would cause the 'node-ip' utility to treat a private IP address (in hex format) such as " 0x7F.1..." (which represents 127.1...) as public.

    This is a ridiculous expectation. Providing addresses in an unsupported format doesn't yield correct results? Who wouldda thunk it. Clean up your fucking code and pass it in as expected, or make your own damn node-ip.

    I think you're mistaking T9 dialing with T9 texting. T9 Dialing uses the letter on the keys to search through your contacts to make find a number. 236 has the letters BEN. It would also return someone named Admond or a contact with 236 in the number. Before, iPhones would only return the result of a number with 236 in it, and you would have to search through you address book if you didn't know their number

    [See inside for repair experience] Does anybody have good experiences with Lenovo's warranty?

    Edit: Conclusion at the bottom I just sent my ThinkPad X13 Yoga Gen 2 in for service the other day, it hasn't yet reached the depot but I'm worried after seeing reviews online about Lenovo's customer service. I know people are definitely more likely to write a review if they have a bad experience than a good one. The repair is just for the TrackPoint, which hasn't been really up to the old ThinkPads I've had (T23, T43, T61, T410, T460) and had recently stopped going to the right entirely. TrackPoints are the only reason I still buy ThinkPads and not something like a framework (and I don't think I can go back to non 2-in-1 laptop after this last one) I also took the NVMe drive out and swapped it with one that had a fresh install of windows 11 on it so that I could use my data while it was sent in. Will they refuse to work on it if they have a non oem drive inside? AFTER REPAIR EDIT: Just got it back from the warranty center! Instead of replacing just the TrackPoint module, they replaced the whole top cover & TrackPad (I did mention that it was having similar issues to them). Came with the factory plastic on it. They didn't try to short-change me in any way, didn't try to argue that it was normal or that it was wear and tear or anything like that. It works better they day it was new, and all of the scuffs that I had on the corners are now gone (so is my intel sticker but I can live with that). In regards to the SSD being out, they didn't say anything or refuse service because of it. I was up front that I had been inside the device before I had sent it in, so YMMV, but all in all 10/10 experience
