Behold, a man!

The “service recommended” state of the battery aside, I would start by using the Activity Monitor to see if there’s something using a lot of power: open Finder, click Applications, open the Utilities folder, and open Activity Monitor. Click the Energy tab at the top, then click the “12-Hour Power” heading to sort by that column. That will show you a relative measure of what’s used the most power recently. Is there an entry in the list that is much higher than others?

Holy shit, this guy has the same name as the Elon Musk who’s gotten billions in government contracts with NASA.

What are the odds? Anyway, I have an idea where we could start cutting costs. It’s only temporary while we make America great again. Again.

For the good of the entire fucking world, Jill Stein should go away. Go back to practicing medicine, where you’re usually limited to only killing one person at a time.

There’s no excuse for the Democrats’ support for Israel’s genocidal wars, and Biden is complicit in his unwavering material (materiel? Both? Both.) support that allows them to continue doing it. I hate that if I don’t vote for the enabling-genocide party, I’ll get the enabling-genocide-but-also-women-are-things-and-LGBTQ-people-shouldn’t-exist party.

So instead her goal is to ensure the election of Donald Trump and his merry band of eschatological fetishists, who’ll not only do the same thing because their literal goal is to bring about the apocalypse, but also bring back all his very smart domestic policies and hand the government over to the Project 2025 fanatics to turn the United States into Gilead. Brilliant. Real big-picture thinking there, doctor.

I have nearly 1500 hours played in Civ V. Never completed a single Civ VI game. Hoping they rediscover whatever it was that made 5 so great!

Also, use Windows 10 LTSC. You can download an eval copy from Microsoft and turn it into the full version by following the instructions here to change the installed SKUs: https://github.com/victorlish/Convert_to_Windows_10_LTSC. Then use the KMS scripts above to activate it.

Ignore the FUD about “LTSC is designed for specialty purpose machines like medical devices, retail kiosks, blah blah blah.” It is what Windows 10 should have been: no bloatware, no ads, no MS Store (you can add it back if you want). No forced upgrades. I’ve used it as my daily driver since Windows 7 went EOL, and I’ll never use a “normal” version of Windows again.

This event is proudly bipartisan, uniting those from across the political spectrum to celebrate the impactful work of local broadcasters and our partners

This makes me wonder what would shake the media out of their business-as-usual attitude. Even if the Republican party didn’t represent an existential threat to democracy in this country, the unprecedented conviction by a jury of a former president on 34 out of 34 felony counts seems newsworthy enough to warrant taking a stand on the side of “fuck that guy”.

So you’re saying the front fell off because a wave hit it?

Trump appointee Aileen Cannon indefinitely postpones Trump classified documents trial, but I hardly see why that’s relevant.

I dunno, it seems to me that if someone starts threatening you over something you’re investigating, you should probably take that as a sign to investigate even harder…

What about the label for my father’s brother’s nephew’s cousin’s former roommate?

The US media is using this sort of language to manufacture consent for yet another war in the middle east. Is this group the de facto government of Yemen? No, they’re just “Houthi rebels”, so we’re doing Yemenis a favor by getting rid of them. Is it a reasonable military tactic to fire on the warship of a hostile foreign power that’s been bombing the shit out of you? No, it’s an “escalation”! How dare these rebels strike first, we didn’t do anything to them!

So you can read this dipshit’s idiot writing without giving the New York Times any money for enabling him.

Yes, it is possible, but it requires that you use a Monterey (or earlier) USB installer. A Ventura USB install won’t work; Apple explicitly “fixed” this workaround in Ventura.

Follow the instructions here: https://gist.github.com/henrik242/65d26a7deca30bdb9828e183809690bd

Essentially, what you’re doing here is blocking the machine from ever connecting to the Apple MDM servers. Once you’ve completed the Monterey installation it is safe to upgrade to Ventura.

Guess DO saved enough cash from layoffs and offshoring developers to hoover up another company. Nice to see!
