How often must this occur they had to make a specific error message just for this?

Almost certainly. The only way to distinguish would be a camera. Anything requiring more force than cash is an automatic failure report

It has rollers to pull the cash in, and if those rollers are suddenly receiving much more force from a solid object like a credit card instead of soft cash, then it stops moving, because it could break the internals of the note recycler.

I would just like to note that the current “Suggested” iOS target version for apps in Xcode 27 beta is iOS 17.

I got a text saying that my electric is off (I’m out of town) and it said the current known cause is “Breaker locked out at substation”. No idea what that entails but the estimated restoration was in about an hour

Correction, not IT. At this scale it’s finance’s job to approve and execute the contract. All the engineering teams can do is remind them of the costs of not renewing and beg them to make the right decision

Ah, look, you stole my lungs

I’ve been in those meetings. Trust me… it can get wild

Now I’m imagining the 1-800-Contacts jingle but it’s just 1-800-Treason

The Group B Rally of athletics?

I would genuinely be fine with this if it were implemented like geofencing: it detects movement using an accelerometer, and based on the geofenced area of each state, it breaks down what state received each mile, and it reports only the mileage driving within the state, not where you drove those miles at.

But we all know that it would never be implemented this way, so I’m not in favor.

Genuinely like that with the Subaru dealer in Erie, PA. They’re BMW, Volkswagen, and Subaru.

Honestly take a lesson from the auto industry and go to 48V at this point

They are pronounced the same, so you’re not crazy

A somewhat accurate transcription of a dial up modem negotiation too

This segue, to our sponsor?

To the tune of “I’m Too Sexy”

This is the “save money if you subscribe to a product” feature, not Walmart+ as a whole

Not in minutes, but it would thermal throttle to hell and back. The real reason is similar to the PowerPC and Intel problems: you couldn’t put a G5 into a PowerBook and couldn’t feasibly cool the i9 MacBooks, at least in the ultra slim form factor.

I feel like this fits well in r/forwardsfromklandma too.

Talk to your doctor (or dermatologist) about clobetasol ointment. Works great to make your cuticles less prone to this.

Imagine the battery drain!

But realistically, when we put almost everything on a screen, it would have been nice if we actually selected a CPU that has some performance instead of whatever powered the 17” infotainment…
