Well yes, but that stuff contained hydrazine. It's not that sensationalist.
I'm just surprised the people making it didn't get jail time.

Those are extreme cases.. they're buying a 48k car (that seems on the high side) but trading in an 8k car (so old/cheap or both).. of course the loan is going to be large.
Normally you'd time the trade.. my current car was an upgrade on my last but the monthly payments reduced because I timed it so the value of my existing car was reasonably high.
Or anything reflective. Throw some strips of tinfoil at it (that's just chaff WW2 style) and it not only disrupts power it has a good chance of blinding a few of the troops on the ground too.
Laserdiscs were huge for being able to stop on a single frame - I worked for a place that used them for language teaching, so you had to stop dead on a sentence for it to make sense. At the time mpeg could only stop on iframes that could be 10 seconds apart, and paying to get iframes mastered where you needed them was mucho expensive (even decoding required hardware.. mpeg encoding in software was a pipe dream).
Compressed video still has this problem to some extent but it's mostly worked around in software.
Also the hardware to interface to a PC was basically a simple analogue capture card and a serial link for the control. Cheap, at least compared to the mpeg decoders of the day.
I replaced the battery on my 5 and it was just like new.. still is.. except it no longer gets security updates, which sucks otherwise it's be my daily driver today.
when this one dies.
Which is a problem for the phone manufacturers.. because everyone's saying that now. Phones all do what we need them to do already, there are no new killer features.
Phones just do the same stuff now, so updates don't really matter beyond security. That's a problem for the pixel 8 too.. I've got a 7a and it's not really got anything my 5 didn't have, other than being bigger and heavier. So I'm not even bothered by the 8.
Their servers aren't terrible, but they check at boot for HP memory and HP hard drives.. all at a significant markup. We ditched HP kit completely due to that.. just upgrading a set of hard drives was going to cost four times the going rate for 3rd party.
HP printers used to be the gold standard back in the day.. a laserjet would 'just work' and often not even need drivers, was nicely servicable too.. then they went to shit, and nobody with any sense would touch them these days.
4 repairable, one broken, 2 milion glued shut.
I answered the 'why do you want this job' question with 'I'm unemployed and need money', rather than lying about some lifelong ambition to work for a small software company in bumfuck nowhere. Got me the job.
Of course it depends on the interviewer, but TBH I'd rather work for one that values honesty anyway.
Yup qualifications are only one of the things we look at, and it's way down the list. which college.. who cares?
Show us an active github page, boast about how you installed lemmy whilst fighting off a herd of wildebeast... top of the list.
Al Jazeera has people reporting from the palestinian side, so it is possible.. Actual details, obviously neither side is going to leak.. we'll be fed propoganda from both sides until it's over and probably after too.
