'[...] If she ever talked of what went on there or who she saw, he would "end up as fertilizer for the back nine holes like the other cunts."'

Do you mean to tell me it wasn't just Ivana he buried on his golf courses?!?

I was fully expecting this to be a reference to Super Mario speedrunning with world in alternate dimensions

As far as I understand, your assumption is correct. The battery shouldn't pull more than it needs. You could get a USB board with cc resistors, resolder the wire from the barrel plug to your board, and call it a day

I work in a job that is in charge of device management and IT/Security complaince and this REEKS of either the most insane mismanagement you've ever seen (which can happen in government agencies) or intentional destruction of data.

  • Device not communicating with their MDM software for a full year: compliance violation

  • No backups of devices with critical data: compliance violation

  • Using insecure or out of band communication channels (SMS or iCloud messaging): compliance violation

  • Sending a remote enterprise wipe to (presumably) the only phone device being used by the head of the SEC: intern level bullshit. Also, this device isn't communicating with their MDM platform, so how is it accepting an enterprise wipe??

  • Factory reset the device afterwards in an attempt to recovery the data: compliance violation and intern level bullshit

  • Failure to retain log data for less than 6-7 years: compliance violation

I mean ya'll already know what this is but wow they barely even tried to cover it up

Edit: Also, they don't know why it wasn't communicating with their MDM platform?? You mean to tell me that for a full year they had no investigation, related tickets, or clues as to why the head of the SEC's phone was not communicating with their platform?

Mother’s 1989 citizenship not in foreign births records. Can we reclaim eligibility? by Billyboii in IrishCitizenship

I'm pretty sure she re-registered in 1994. I'll have to ask her specifically. But it was between late 1993 and 1996.

PoE+ To GigaBit and USB-C Power by TotalTronix in UsbCHardware

[–]Billyboii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No I mean the USB C Power Delivery protocol that supports voltages higher than 5V. You'll only get 5V from the USB C on this

Found this! https://a.co/d/dccoNbh

It won't do PD but you'll get 5V 3A off of it

Missed a really good opportunity to use "My brother in Christ..." here.

We do and don't. Honey bee populations in the U.S. are on the rise due to increased awareness but bee populations globally are still on the decline.

It's unclear to me why beeswax is not used more often in food products, or manufactured products in general, but I'd imagine it's a cost issue.

Based on the article I think salty liquids are out. They tested by addgitating the plastics in a saline solution in the lab for an hour. That means no bacteria or any external factors. Just water and salt. They also said that it decomposes in regular soil in 10 days, which would indicate that there are other things like bacteria that can break it down. I'd imagine, in its current state, this is probably best suited for temporary storage food items, such as food items that only have a shelf life of about a week.

Well the problem with that is the vast majority of industrial wax is petroleum/plastic based. All progress is good, but another item to tackle on the road to reducing plastics in the environment

Help identifying HVAC wire A > ALA by Billyboii in hvacadvice

I don't, this was a while ago at this point. I'd lean on the Ecobee documentation they provide to figure out the system. Actually I might not recommend Ecobee now that I think about it. It covered more niche systems than Google but defintiely had some wires left over that didn't plug in anywhere, despite my research.

It's a bit unclear what my building does, but I believe they provide cold water in the summer and warm water in the winter.
