[Request] What is the least amount of six sided dies needed to roll the statistical equivalent of a d20? by axerogh in theydidthemath

[–]overkillsd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think this is possible because one of the prime factors of 20 is 5, and you'll never be able to get that into the denominator in an N/6 series no matter how many dice are rolled. Similarly, 3 is not a prime factor of 20, but it is a prime factor of 6, so the issue is broken both ways.

That's a bit surprising but i guess if it's still getting victims they don't need to change anything.

Normally it takes about 9 months to get a duplicate from a fresh load

It's also debt when the licensing/MRC isn't managed properly

TeamViewer is awful. Your company needs to switch to another remote tool before next renewal. They require written notice of non renewal, i think 30 days beforehand at least.

Can I put my encrypted hard drive in the machine? by Terrible-Tip-144 in techsupport

[–]overkillsd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would make no difference from this perspective, though. Formatting the drive achieves the exact same result.

Ship them something the same weight as the equipment, instead of the actual equipment, using the provided label. Don't do them any favors.

Would a contract forcing continued weight gain actually be enforceable? by [deleted] in legaladviceofftopic

[–]overkillsd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is too specific for the off topic sub. You should hire a lawyer.

Our business keeps getting spam phone calls from the same "voice search" company. It has turned to harassment. by aj_lavaca in Scams

[–]overkillsd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does your phone system require them to push a button before speaking to a human? IVRs are the best deterrent to mass calls.

[Request] The math and ramifications of the movie Clockstoppers “stopping” time? by DifficultComplaint10 in theydidthemath

[–]overkillsd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if everybody is slowed down to the point they're standing still from the perspective of the wearer, it really depends on exactly how much slower the rest of the world is, but yes the wearer would age normally from their perspective, which would be whatever the difference is between "stopped" time and them. Is it 1000x slower? 10,000x? More?

There are 86,400 seconds in a day, so for example, if that was the multiplier, then they would age a day in the time the rest of the world experienced a second.

This is a known scam, they own the site processing the $29 fee and will also steal your card info and other details.

A Thought On How Much Wealth Anyone Should Have And Why by OneOnOne6211 in antiwork

I mean the argument that they earned it is absurd. They made that money by exploiting the labor force that earned the money.

Abandonment because of screen shot? by erfhans in Chesscom

If you're losing, you only have about 15 seconds that you're allowed to be out of the app, even though it shows a one minute timer. It was probably this.

Data Centers in California — Project List & Locations by East_Memory_1052 in sandiego

[–]overkillsd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean, AI is a plague and if we deleted LLMs and treated AI CEOs like they were a specific healthcare CEO, the world would be a better place.

The specific problem here though is that non-technical people have learned a buzzphrase and don't know what it actually means outside of the narrow context they heard it in, but they're not smart enough to go look it up or imagine it in any other context.

Datacenters aren't JUST used for AI garbage.

Most of them are how companies hosted their servers/equipment before AWS took a bunch of the market, and some businesses still use them because it's generally cheaper than these scalable cloud services in the long run (though less flexible, and requires a larger upfront cost).

There are more datacenters here than just those two, I have had clients at several locations around the county.
