Yup, this is Season 3 Episode 1 of CSI Vegas, titled: "Revenge is Best Served Cold."

For some languages this can make sense, but I think most languages aren't suited for installing things, manipulating the filesystem, etc. I think of scripts as the middleware betwe…

I applaud the author for the depth and detail - this is fantastic. Well done!

As bad as Experian is, at least the baseline product works for free unlike TransUnion.

I have a tip for Amazon shopping related to these weird brand names: Do not buy anything that will go in or on your body. Doing this significantly reduces the likelihood of counter…

Mumble - "a free, open source, low latency, high quality voice chat application" that I can manage the logs and certificates for. Kinda the only choice because Discord doesn't have…

It's not the video, but it certainly has some of what I am looking for. Thank you; it's appreciated.

Very related to this, I've been trying to relocate a video about "making a sun in a box" where the creator does the following: - goes over power and lumens, basic wiring for a bare…

Say that to the acidic invasive Eucalyptus leaves eating away at the paint on your car, or leaving stains on your paved walkway, or choking out your pretty wildflowers. Or maybe ta…

It's sometimes a bit more nuanced than that. For example: For a number of years Palo Alto has had a law about gas leaf blowers (Ordinance No. 4634, I think). The "easy" way around …

My father is a licensed landscape contractor in Menlo Park (the same place where this law change was written). For 30 years I have watched (and helped) him with jobs almost always …

You're correct. The Youtuber is James Stephanie Sterling. She called it the "Youtube Deadlock" mechanic. Though the trick seems to be less successful now.

I also have this cube as part of a set. As a far as desk accessories and toys go it's unique and a fun thing to show off. If you get the set that has the copper cube beware that th…

Does anyone know of a teardown like this for more recent chargers (ie. the "top rated Amazon chargers" or "Best Buy Specials")?

A friend told me a story similar to this where a psychologist helped a patient with their taxes and credit card debt, the patient was immediately more functional as a result. The c…

"Pacific NorthWest". Basically, near Microsoft's main Redmond campus.

Discord has not yet "won" for me. Until I can host it myself, use my own certificates, and control the server bitrate and logs I won't use it. For now, Mumble serves all my needs a…

0 for 20 on the most popular and recognizable video game music, like the Super Mario Bros theme song. Seems to only work with top 100 yearly tracks with lyrics.

And then get a drawn out lawsuit. :)

Funny you mention Sony -- Linux support on the PS3 turned into a big deal. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OtherOS ) Historically, other game consoles could be used a "general purp…

These are great points. I'd like to add some more to them: On minified source code, Extensions/Add-Ons are allowed to be deployed with minified source code as long as you provide t…

As a developer who has worked with reCAPTCHA in the past and as a diehard Firefox user, what likely happened here is a form of shadow banning. You're moving too fast; your mouse an…

I mostly agree. The author of the piece didn't go into much detail about their medical needs at the time - perhaps they were a high-attention patient and didn't know it? Hence my c…

I felt the question and answer to be a little flippant, which is fine, but hear this: Sometimes there are reasons, very genuine reasons. I've been recovering from a recent stay. I,…

Yes! Mineral oil cooled PCs in aquariums have long been a thing-to-do (but it's very messy).
