Pascal’s little-known friend Luigi’s wager.

If you pay with your CC and sign the receipt after seeing the total, you’re going to have a very hard time getting it removed.

Not only that - they’re dying in the street immediately adjacent to vacant luxury condos.

It seems silly to be distrustful of proprietary BIOS firmware without having the same skepticism of the actual hardware.

I had a linux 5520 and it was terrible. Standby and bluetooth never worked properly. Are the new models any better?

I think it’s more like “snuck up on us” than any kind of nefarious connotation. Kind of like “how did a niche game like BG3 sneak into the top ten games list”?

That’s why your phone has a brightness slider, or better yet an ambient light sensor that automatically adjusts brightness. DE will need something similar.

Debuggers are for when you hit a problem with your code. Logs are for when someone else hits a problem with your code.

I think the appropriateness of this criticism is highly dependent on subject. You can fit Maxwell’s equations on a sticky note, but most electrical engineering work will be learning how to apply those laws in a practical way. On the other hand, if you’re in an English Literature course and didn’t read the literature your class will be discussing, that’s on you.
