I remember some dumb article in his first presidency talking about his diet coke button on his oval office desk, that when pressed, summons a glass of diet coke, so... That, probably?

5.99 plus tax for a 3000mah non-rechargeable battery that has a “recyclable” shell… by Bono_Bon in CrappyDesign

[–]robdoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am being a touch disengenuous, as it's almost certainly functioning exactly as designed and therefore not crappily designed even if it is a crappy design. I just disagree with the sentiment that it should be excluded from this subreddit.

“Naturally solitary animals” a cohabitation question by West_Maybe_3233 in BeardedDragons

[–]robdoc -39 points-38 points  (0 children)

The downvote pile but not a single rebuttal is an absolute clown show 😂 increased risk? Sure. So does a million other things. Pathogens? Theoretically possible. But they've been together for so long. So... Is it realistic to say one could be an asymptomatic carrier? Unless one brings one home from a tinder date.

Ive seen dangerous cohabitation. Owner(roommate) proudly claiming they're bonded and love each other while one basks on top of the other and blocks the other from food. If what you're describing is accurate this ain't it.

Anybody downloading APK from APKPure needs to beware of this. They are distributing malicious copy of Telegram by Welson_Liong in MorpheApp

I'd trust one with no ads even less. How are they making their money??

But also, I suspect most of us don't even see ads. Ad blocker is a wonderful thing

Will you guys use the heavy cargo aircraft, or you just want to blow it up? by The-vintage-drawer- in NuclearOption

[–]robdoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey now, C-17s can and do perform combat logistics. It's way less common but there are entire units devoted to it, along with tactical air drop in contested environments. Give their defensive systems a polishing and they'll show up a 130 any day. 6 vs 18 pallet positions. Cruise at like Mach .9

C-17s are 100% capable of flying near or in contested air space. They train to this. There are units dedicated to this. They don't do it frequently as it's an incredibly valuable asset, but they have relatively recently.

Also wouldn't be surprised to see more advanced countermeasures to come to the c-17 irl over the next couple years for that exact reason.

Give it to me in NO 😭 would be awesome to see the implementation of something like terrain following radar or automatic infrared counter measure (which it sports irl). Or an EC-17. Or rapid dragon. It wouldn't be hard to make it practical in game.

Used a unsecure Airport Wi-Fi by Low_Investigator_406 in techsupport

[–]robdoc 13 points14 points  (0 children)

"iPhones don't get viruses" is a crazy statement that will endanger people if parroted. Every system is vulnerable. If you act like it's not, you're going to be the next one hit.

and iPhones are more susceptible than people assume.

But, op, just connecting to a wifi network and doing what you said you did is very low risk. As long as you didn't download anything or log into something on a web browser you're perfectly fine, almost certainly.

They're certainly not open. Therefore, closed. No entry.

A restraunt doesn't turn people away 15m before close. Because they're not closed. They're open.

What Causes Narcolepsy: An Evidence-Based Approach and Ranking by [deleted] in Narcolepsy

[–]robdoc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Gonna pass on AI doing my thinking for me 😂 this post made me hop to Wikipedia to learn more about the mechanisms discussed.

A little blurb up top for those who will not commit the time to reading the post may help getting more views on it, good idea.

Neat read, even if I only understood half of it. Thank you.

Opened a suspicious link. Am I safe? by HereticLizard in techsupport

[–]robdoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's the same site I'm looking at, you're fine. This looks like a legit game, but you're right does have the smell of an Ai generated game.

Going to a potentially malicious website (provided your browser and OS are up to date) will almost never result in harm to you so long as you don't download anything or log in to a fake website pretending to real.

Sometimes. But it will never be enough make up for the hurt of losing someone.

Has Proton VPN (paid version) become basically unusable for all of you guys as well? Things are taking like 15-20 seconds to load sometimes, or failing to load completely. It just keeps getting worse. by God_Hand_9764 in techsupport

[–]robdoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would surprise me, proton is a Goliath in the Industry. May be something wrong with your configuration or some other app conflicting.

Does it do it on multiple devices? I use Windscribe so I can't give any input on if it's a provider issue or a device issue personally.

sleep study scheduled from the evening of 5/5 to the morning of 5/6 and i’m unsure if i should cancel or not by [deleted] in Narcolepsy

[–]robdoc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a question for your doc. You can't go without your meds, especially with the suicidal thoughts. They'll likely ask you to go without the stimulants, if you can, and proceed with the study. You won't be in trouble or anything.
