Same, also autistic. There are very few people I don’t dislike touching me.

It also depends where people touch me. Shake my hand: that’s okay; touching my head/hair, big no. Haircuts are super uncomfortable.

TOS

Here (.nl) it’s a minimum of 3 years for the lowest ranking cops (vocational degree), depending on rank/function there is also a 4 year bachelors degree and a 5 year masters.

That works great until it doesn’t, and then you’re fucked.

But with those ‘user friendly’ UI’s no one knows what they’re doing. The user doesn’t know regardless and now the expert they ask for help has no clue either.

It isn’t half bad but it does use a lot of terminology

That’s why it’s user friendly. Try configuring one of those “user friendly” consumer grade crap routers. Due to the use non-standard descriptions in a misguided effort to be user friendly no one actually has any clue what settings actually do.

I’ll be available 24/7 when they pay me 24/7.

Now, that’s just a recent development. 20 years ago it was a common format for images on the interwebs.

The same purpose as a PNG or JPEG?

You know that GIF is not specifically a format for animations, right? It’s just a lossless image format.

What if you’re a masochist? Wouldn’t it be better to treat others as they would like to be treated?

They also die when they get eaten.

Turritopsis dohrnii would like to have a chat.

You still can.

I’m just pointing out that your paranoia is out of ignorance, instead of a sound understanding of the technology.

If it works anything like Apple’s Find My (which it appears to do) then no you won’t be trackable.

I’ve seen 1600+ myself.

I’d say “old” RAID could be dead if you have proper backups and have the ability to replace a defect drive fast in the case uptime is crucial.

RAID and backups serve different purposes. Backups are to prevent data loss, RAID is to prevent downtime in case of hardware failure. They are not interchangeable.

I’m a software engineer and while I do have 2 monitors I have absolutely no RGB anything. Just a nice clean setup. My main monitor is on a wall-mounted arm so it appears to just float above my desk. My MacBook is hidden behind the other monitor, which is in portrait and on an arm so it floats just above my desk. Wireless mouse and keyboard (magic mouse and magic keyboard with numeric, both in black/aluminium), no visible wires. One single thunderbolt cable to connect my MacBook to a dock that’s hidden below my desk, which hooks up to my monitors, ethernet, amplifier, etc.

34” 5k2k ultrawide as main monitor and a 27” 4k in portrait for documentation.

E-books. I read too many books for physical to be practical.
