The USCIS site makes it clear that your CAN use emojis in your password.

It's called "perpetual" but obviously, it's capped at a certain very reasonable limit.

An AI trained on old Internet material would be like a synthetic Grandpa Simpson:

"In my day we said 'all your base' and laughed all day long, because it took all day to download the video."

I had a Kia Rio. They sent out a safety recall warning that an ABS leak could cause a short and it could catch fire (this is after the big problem of them being easy to steal).

They're was no fix at the time. The only advice on the recall was "avoid parking near structures" in case it set fire to buildings.

Months later the fix was available: a smaller fuse that would blow before the short got hot enough to burn.

Phones used to have a round charger socket, a USB socket that could also be used to charge, plus the headphone socket and SD card slot. I'm sure they could have found room for both USB C and Lightning, with all the other things that were removed.

Un-allowed DMA capable bus/device(s)

And there it is in msinfo!

Thanks very much. I've been using veracrypt for years, it's good to know that I have another option (especially to simplify things for family members).

The older fingerprint readers that were on the back or below the screen worked perfectly and near-instantly (I've used several Nexus, Pixel and Moto phones).

At least some of the newer in-screen readers are slow and unreliable. I've heard that the ultrasonic ones are better.

I bought a PC kit and it said "some assembly required" so I always try to link at least one asm file in my projects.

It says "crowdsourced traffic" so maybe they want lots of users to gather traffic data from.

 

I grew up knowing a fishcake as being fish sandwiched between two slices of potato covered in batter.

But when I ventured out into the wider world beyond Sheffield, fishcakes were strange breaded minced-up fish things.

Was my whole childhood a lie?
