"This is brutal. We've been sitting at the airport for two hours,"

… lol

It really shouldn’t be a minority thing though

The Cash version is fine as a cover because it feels like a cover, another take on the song.

But the original is absolutely dripping in atmosphere that really complements the lyrics.

Anyone who prefers the Cash version probably doesn’t have the volume up loud enough, or they’re using cheap headphones / tinny phone speakers to listen to music.

For the majority of my clients who use this kind of system, it is totally dysfunctional.

Most of the records are incorrect, my guess is that they occasionally reset the password on mobile while the book is inaccessible and then don’t remember to update it in the book later.

Effective use relies on the user’s understanding of umbrella accounts. I’ve had users have separate written entries for “Office”, “Skype”, “Hotmail”, and “Windows” because they don’t understand those things are all one Microsoft Account.

As passwords get updated, it can become a mess of crossed out records with new ones squished into the margins. When a someone dies, anything written illegibly can be difficult for surviving family to discern. As the book gets filled out, it can get tricky to keep things alphabetized unless the user provisioned additional empty space between records.

This system can work great for someone who is meticulous, neat, and organized.

For your average person, I’ve had better luck solving the problem with a password manager synced to an online account that is protected by MFA and has recovery options that are also protected by MFA.

for the tech inclined

Managing sync between mobile and desktop is a bit more complicated than average consumers have the patience for (it’s really not very complicated, average consumers are just impatient)

To me, Ready Or Not is more of a spiritual successor to SWAT rather than a ripoff. In a lot of ways, it’s an evolution because it deals with current topics and modern technologies. It also feels grittier than I remember SWAT being.

SWAT 4 came out 20 years ago

Phones, Tablets: Exist with glued-in but ultimately removable / reinstallable screens

Microsoft: What if we mix crushed up eggshells into the glass?

2008: Core 2 Quad Q9400 - 4c4t, 2666Mhz @ 95W TDP

2023: N100 - 4c4t, 3400Mhz @ 122W 6W TDP

The average user of any system doesn’t care about security until after they’re suffering consequences, at which point they’re quick to blame every external party

Requires 2FA for login, but doesn’t support time-based authenticator codes / setting up an authenticator app

Code is successfully emailed / sent via SMS

“Code is invalid. Please try again.”

Also, any system where the code is requested but never arrives.

A Hawaiian court, or a court composed of haole / colonizers?

Those are all going to traumatize whoever finds you, and are otherwise uncomfortable ways to go.

Dignitas uses nitrous in their pods. Pretty chill way to drift off forever, so long as you ensure a means to get rid of the CO2 to prevent that ‘suffocating’ feeling.

If you happen to be carrying a loaded firearm when it happens, that firearm can go off.

Only if the booger hook is on the bang switch and the external safety (if present) is disengaged, at which point the muzzle was supposed to have been pointed at an intended target.

For the statistically improbable situation you describe to unfold, quite a few stars would have to align during a live fire exercise, you’re likely to be a participant or spectator of that exercise and aware of the risks. This is not something that would happen in most peoples’ day to day lives “walking down the street” unless someone is already doing something super illegal with a firearm (brandishing).

keep firearms away from people who don’t strictly need them.

Please define ‘strictly need’ for me, because the meaning is a variable depending on who you ask.

In my eyes, you don’t ‘strictly need’ a seatbelt - until you’re in a high speed collision. So you wear one anyways.

You don’t ‘strictly need’ a fire extinguisher - until you’re faced with a large fire. So you keep one around anyways.

You don’t ‘strictly need’ a firearm - until you are being met with deadly force from a person or animal, need to hunt, or need to control a pest for food security.

There are no “accidents” with firearms, there can only negligence. There are four incredibly simple rules to follow, and you have to violate more than one at a time to cause harm to another person.

In cultures where firearms are prevalent, these rules are drilled in from a young age and become second nature.

Most of the US has had “everyone should have the right to carry a gun everywhere” for quite some time. From a statistical point of view, the key areas for harm have come from:

1. Suicide
2. Intentional acts of violence / murder
3. Unintentional shootings, often by children who had access to an unsecured firearm

US / PNW

People who have not committed violent crimes should have the right to own and purchase any firearm. From my point of view, the NFA is a violation of individuals’ rights and should be abolished. The concept of a concealed carry permit, permit to purchase, “gun free zone”, or firearm licensing / registration are a violation of peoples’ rights. Firearm function and safety should be taught in schools again, including safe storage. Failure to follow firearm safety or safe storage resulting in bodily harm ought to be a criminal offense with heavy consequences, especially in cases that result in death.

Policing in the US is in dire need of reform. “Qualified Immunity” needs to end. Officers ought to be held to higher standards than the rest of the population, which includes using their judgment for appropriate levels of force and facing consequences for excessive force. Murderers do not get paid administrative leave or a new job in the next state, they get a trial by jury. Use of deadly force in self defense against an officer of the law ought to be justifiable after being tried in court. Traffic enforcement, response to mental health crises, response to domestic disputes, and response to reports of threats/violence require separate skillsets and should be handled by separate teams with their own training and qualifications.

The iPhone 16e uses A18 and is $599

Those iPhones have OLED screens ($229+), rear camera modules ($129+), and a fairly sophisticated IR dot projection array and sensor for FaceID ($199+), all engineered to fit in the very compact form factor of the phone.

Those prices were derived from the self service store and are surely inflated - they add up to more than the cost of the device - but I think they illustrate the idea that a Macbook with an LCD screen can probably achieve a comparable price point.

The one that you have appears to be intact

I’d be curious to know if it’s the solder joints that failed (less common) or if the pads ripped out of the PCB, which is usually what happens in these cases.

In the latter case, you’re going to have a hard time installing the replacement part. You’ll need to first restore the pads, which falls into “microsoldering” territory that will have a higher tool and skill / precision requirement.

PSA: Microwaving water can actually be super dangerous because it’s possible to superheat it. When the surface is disrupted, it can violently boil all at once and hurt you.

Here’s a more detailed breakdown

But only if that’s what your OS’s native dialog buttons look like

Jpeg of a windows dialog button while you’re using Linux? That’s a trap.

Where is “here”?
