When air is warm, it rises. As the air attaches to the blades, the air is tricked into accepting a new definition of “up” which rotates with the blades, endlessly propelling them.

As that air cools, warmer air is drawn in and entrapped, continuing the cycle.

In that case the user has made a choice is the good thing. They’ve seen what options are there and decided Windows fits their needs best. That’s better in my mind than a world where everyone accepts the OS that comes preinstalled on their machine as permanent and doesn’t consider alternatives.

You gotta spend money to lose money! wait.

where-OH. ew.

oh damn :( I used to use it but that was several years ago and it seems quite a bit has changed…

Everyone knows they only got through Moneybags Medical School because of their parent Dr. Moneybags Senior… It’s nepotism all the way! And they got a degree in cosmetic nephrology - what makes them qualified to study potato PCs?

Calm down Dr. Moneybags - look how many RAM chips are on that DIMM… No need to flex your wealth!

on any server with ssh exposed you’ll probably see a bunch of login attempts in the logs (automated attacks trying to find machines with a weak password). only keys is the way lol.

Thanks for your interest in joining the botnet!

I’d recommend using “password” as your password and “root” for the username. Attackers have a lot of stuff going on! Don’t make their job all complicated, make it easy to remember.

Older operating systems like a really old Linux distro or Windows XP are the best, since their performance requirements are a lot lower, giving better overhead for the crypto miners that will be installed. Modern OSs waste resources on security features and such.

Move using the number pad.

Your keyboard doesn’t have one? Sounds like a you problem.

Thanks for the explanation!

I am saving my modem return receipt for this reason. I can see it coming: “you didn’t return it, $500000 charge!”

Come on! Wouldn’t you like 400 Mbps? You only have 1 Gbps, 400 is a way bigger number! Upload speed? Don’t ask about silly things like that, no one uploads files!

Oh, you wanted to use the web on a busy day? No you didn’t, we’re way oversold!

The worst part is, Spectrum call agents will just try to sell you on more stuff. When I signed up (no choice for internet where I was), they offered an introductory rate on their website for internet only, but forced you to call them to sign up. Of course, in calling, they insisted I get a package with internet + cable + streaming, and it took a while to negotiate just internet. I mentioned the offer, and made sure they promised I’d get the promotional rate.

Lo and behold, my first month bill happens and no promo rate to be seen. It took another phone call to fix that.

I just recently canceled - they demand your new address (for mail forwarding??), they want to know your internet/cable/phone there, etc. so they can try and convince you to transfer. And, if I know someone else moving in I can transfer to them so they get a promotional rate (I guarantee their new-customer first year rate would be cheaper).

The only part where they didn’t try upsell me was in returning their modem, which was pretty seamless (unless they try charge me for not returning it, I feel like they’d do that).

Oh, and of course I still get “hand-picked” “exclusive” offers “just for me” every day in my email.

you just gotta lock in… focus real hard and commit yourself to paying less rent…

what? thrown out, you say? clearly a lack of willpower.

Thank you to coming to our annual shareholder meeting. We welcome all human and AI shareholders.

This year, we’ve seen unprecedented growth in the number of times we’ve said “AI” on stage, largely driven by our investments in AI and our desire to talk about AI.

In Q3 alone, our CEO said “AI” over 400 times, contributing to explosive stock value growth.

Our Q4 was looking to be slowed down after our CEO lost his voice, limiting his ability to say “AI” a lot, but thanks to our AI capabilities, we used AI to generate an AI voice and AI video of our CEO saying “AI.” Thanks to AI, we’ve finished the year with a valuation 300x the start, according to our AI analyst.

Obstacles to continued growth include all words in the English language other than “AI.” Also, after saying “AI” enough, “AI” stops sounding like a word anymore. AI. AI. AI. AI. AI. AAAAIIIIII. That’s really weird. You know, that’s another advantage of AI presenters. They can say “AI” so many times and just keep going. It doesn’t affect them.

In the next year, our AI R&D efforts are focused on seeing if more voices saying “AI” at once has a larger impact on stock price. We’ve created an AI chorus to chant “AI” at our next presentation and are very excited to see the results.

6dof industrial robot arm that has been around forever and can do pretty much anything very, very repeatably:

Command it to flicker mysteriously when someone arrives / walks past (perhaps determined by a new Bluetooth device like a phone being seen with a signal strength above some threshold?). Or, set up an anemometer. On nights with dramatic weather, as the wind gusts you can trigger spooky flickering. Or via lightning strike data off the internet.

I’m not sure why my mind went to making your house haunted, but there you go…

Well… since “we” could be interpreted to include Billy Joel and the listener… that’s two more!
