Nice try. I'm not on that website it'll probably explode.

That's what they have now exploding websites. I think it's a CSS attribute.

Yeah this is what I'm confused about. In a lot of simpler devices like this the BMS is actually a daughter board and has no physical connectivity to the main circuits at all. And even if it had access you generally do not have the capacity to rewrite its code, because again code updating is not something that was ever expected.

Getting batteries to release energy isn't very difficult, even getting them to release it quickly isn't very difficult. What's difficult is getting them to release it over the course of a few milliseconds. Which is what you would need for an explosion.

If the battery simply dumped all its power over the course of 30 seconds that's basically just a fire that you can run away from.

Also I wouldn't have thought a pager had that much charge, I wouldn't have thought this sort of thing would be possible as they would tend to just go off with a loud bang, assuming you could even get them to release all the energy at once l, which again I wouldn't have thought was possible.

For fairly obvious reasons I don't think we're ever going to find out how this was done.

You can just quotes the sections that are relevant. That is what everyone else does.

Every time you do stuff like this it always gives me a headache trying to follow what you're trying to say, It always looks like you're cutting words out of newspapers in order to form a ransom note.

So what they should have said is to make the image negative.

That's being a standard image editing function since the days of film but you have to use the correct terminology.

My company buys it. No idea what they use it for since I work in IT and I don't use it for anything.

If all you said to me was open an image and invert it, I would probably turn it upside down as well. What are you trying to get it to do?

That's on them though. The other ones making the claim that it's supposed to be The Culture, but I don't think anyone at the companies is saying that it is.

Reminds me of the time that I took down the corporate website by translating the entire website into German. I'd been asked to do this but I hadn't realized that the auto translation Plug-In actually rewrote code into German, I thought it was just going to alter the HTML with JavaScript at runtime, but nope. It actually edited the files.

It also translated the password into German which was fun because it was just random characters so I have no idea what it translated into.

Why have you blanked out bits of the article?

I've had this argument with them a few times at work. They are definitely going to replace this all with AI. Probably within the next year and no amount of us pointing out that it won't work and they'll end up having to bring us back, at 3x the rate, seems to have any effect on them.

I'm probably going to have to listen to a lot of arguments about this strawberry thing tomorrow.

Anyway whatever, severance is severance.

They're not even fighting against fascism per se they're just asking him to obey the law. Asking people to obey the law isn't exactly a political position.
