Leaded fuel. Avgas is 100-octane leaded gasoline that is still being used by most small aircraft piston engines. Lead-free alternatives exist, but production and supply infrastructure is nonexistent.

I despise micro-USB with a passion. Even more than mini-USB. It is so flimsy, it's always been the first thing to die on my wireless devices, including my older phones.

If a device charges through USB, I consider not having USB-C to be a deal breaker. Right now I'm waiting for a USB-C socket breakout panel because I want to convert my Xbox One controller from micro to C.

It's not markdown, those are different unicode characters. https://cursivegenerator.net/

By the way, you can view the markdown source of comments and text posts. There's a "view source" button that looks like a document icon on the stock Lemmy UI.

The virgin .NET:

Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture;
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture;

You can call it 𝓜𝓮𝓻𝓭𝓮, but it'll still taste like shit.

Woah, tone down that rhetoric, Yosif!

Thanks, but that's the same one that I found. It removes the power button from the start menu and disables the shutdown command, but the computer still responds to ACPI and even the keyboard's power-off button.

There are use-cases where a computer should not be turned off by its user for the purpose of remote management. I'm dealing with one just as I'm writing this comment.

There's an exam in a classroom. In 20 minutes I'll have to run an ansible script to remove this group's work, clean up the project directory, and rollback two VMs to the prepared snapshot to get ready for the next group. I've put a big-ass banner on the wallpaper telling the students not to shut down the computer, and already half of them are off.

Mainly because our students are idiots and will complain if the computer doesn't turn off. Or worse, take independent action and hold the power button, or actually yank the power cable. Maybe I should just lean into it and convince them that the monitor is the computer.

Jokes aside, how could I implement such a policy? I've only found one that hides the power buttons from the start menu, but Windows still responds to ACPI.

As another IT guy at a university, having to manually turn on 30 computers in a classroom for updates or whatever is already a pain in the ass. Wake on LAN is not a reliable solution. Havin to manually flip over every box, then putting them down, and then fixing the cables that got yanked... I'd throw those fuckers in the trash.
